I am posting this from my friends blog, I really hate the proposed health care reform bill! Just one more step towards socialism and I can't stand it! I love all you citizens of America, I want this nightmare to end of a messy health care system, but I think we all need to think long and hard before buying into something in a snap. Like we did with all of the bailouts, and our trust in the idea that we could buy a home (with no money down, and no job!! Yipee go me!). That kind of freewheeling spirit has gotten us all into a big mess. Plus I was rather annoyed at the president trying to tie in the possible recovery of the economy with passing his health care reform bill, so here we go, I oppose it, I don't believe him.
From my friend:
This email concerns the proposed health care bill which is being voted on in three weeks. This is not a stupid forward, 'cause my mom and I created it ourselves. I don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, black, white, orange, or purple-every single one of you is affected by this. Please view these links and brush up on page 136 of the bill. If you feel as scared as I do, send it to friends and ask them to write to their representatives. You won't regret doing so. If you don't, well, at least you know, right?
One of the most frightening things about the proposed health care bill is the assisted suicide clause, which says that counseling on how to forgo nutrition, fluids, and medication will be offered in place of care to chronically ill, critically ill, and elderly people. Basically if your health care costs outweigh your value as a citizen of the United States, they'll teach you how to put yourself to sleep.
Here are some video links. I know some of you have seen some of these before, but the vote for this bill happens at the end of the month! Please send the following to your contacts. Contact your government representatives and let them know we don't need this bill!

Part of being an American is taking responsibility for your part of the decision making. As George Washington said of the Constitution, "...its only keepers, the people". It is time to take up our pens and to let our voices ring out. It is our sacred honor and duty.
Let's keep this country free!

Lassie this is not socialism, Obama is merely caring for others, as Jesus taught!
Time to put aside the all American ideal, and follow Jesus.
Follow Jesus, Graham, I certainly am trying. I pay 10% of whatever income I get to my church and try to pay fast offerings (when we are actually earning money). Our church then feeds the poor and clothes the naked. Yet I don't think this is enough, it is up to me to find other people to help. As for health care, I hate government run programs simply hate them. They are never run well and they never seem to have the people they serve as their best interest. Plus I don't like the tie in to the American tax dollar that these big pharmacutical companies and "health" organizations will recieve. It is them that will benefit from this plan, Americans in general will suffer. I think the whole thing needs to be looked at in a great deal more detail, no more speedy changes in government. (Seriously, I have dealt with government programs for a long time and I REALLY hate them.)
Sorry chica I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. This world is so caught up in 'every man for himself' that the concept of us all taking care of each other seems so foreign to many. It takes a village, and I think the more we take care of each other, the better off we'll be as a society.
