This is what Nancy Pelosi had to say about the Health Care bill:

“But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.”

So let’s get this straight. We have to pass the bill first before we find out what is really in it and what it’s going to do to us? No thanks Nancy. Pass it and there’s no going back no matter how bad it is.

Here’s some more from the Speaker:

“You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other.  But I don’t know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket.  Prevention, prevention, prevention—it’s about diet, not diabetes. It’s going to be very, very exciting.

Response: Speaker Pelosi is flat out wrong. Pass it and we won’t find out how it works for 6 long years. The bill doesn’t go into effect for 6 years but the taxes for it are implemented immediately. So it becomes a drain on an already weak economy and the supposed ‘benefits’ don’t happen for 6 years? So pass this pig-in-a-poke and let’s see what you get in 6? Right!

It changes 1/6 of the American economy and affects millions of jobs in the health care and insurance industry. There hasn’t been any real research into what this bill will do to an economy that is already down. Nearly every expert that I have read has said that it could send the economy into an even greater tailspin.

Then there’s the whole problem of paying for it and the trillion $ deficits that it would create. Not to even mention what it will do to the finest health care system in the world. There are changes that could make it even better but throwing the ‘whole baby out’ with this bill is not one of them.               *Top
