Disagreeing with Obama's Healthcare Plan

I've been sitting here for the last few weeks listening to the President talk about Health Care Reform, and I have a few questions for him.

First, how in God's name are we going to pay for this? Yes, Yes I know he has put forth some ideas. Namely the idea that my Great Great Grand-Children will be paying for it and all of the other spending he is doing. OUR COUNTRY IS ON A BUDGET AND WE CAN NOT AFFORD IT RIGHT NOW!

Second, there are the hidden costs. Namely, more doctors, more nurses, more clinics, more hospitals. I have news for him, all of the above are already at their care limits. How are we going to create these new personnel? Who is going to pay for the new infrastructure? Is he just going to wave his magic ice cream cone and make them all appear?

Third, who exactly will this plan cover? Medicaid already covers the poor and disabled. Will it include Illegal Immigrants? No one may be turned away at an Emergency Room. So what are we going to do about them? Are my tax dollars now going to officially pay for them as well?

Finally, lets take a quick spin through socialized medicine in other countries. The only countries where it works a "little" is ones with small population centers. The remainder, have brought nothing but negative critiques about treatment availability and treatment quality. So how are you making our lives better?

Oh, and this is to Congress...are you all going to be using this new system or will it only be the poor and uninsured who must wait for treatments, meds, doctors, etc.

I know this is alot of -itching without any solutions put forth. I will be writing on that tomorrow. I believe there has to be a better way. There is truely a REAL problem for uninsured and underinsured in this country. Tax-paying, law abiding citizens who have either lost jobs or have insurance that takes their money and gives crappy coverage. It is a crisis.

God Bless America
