Health Care Debate - Elkton, MD

It's about time medical care is available for everyone. Why not make it simple and provide AMERICA with the same health care that the Congress has!

Socialism stinks.

Socialism at it's best. It hasn't worked in any other countries, and it won't work here. A huge step away from the beliefs this country was founded upon. What ever happened to personal responsibility?

I've got good news for you. Medical care IS available for everyone right now. The real issue here is who pays for it, and with our Federal Government already trillions of dollars in debt to China, why this new shell game?

That's right. Shell game. What they propose is to start taking the money away from you and me in taxes, holding the money, and providing health care at a future date, like 2012. Why? After we have paid into it for several years, our State can then decide to "opt out" AFTER we are already taxed for it and have been paying for it.

In the meantime, they don't even bother fixing our current available health care like Medicaid and Medicare. Instead, they "promise" to do so "if" the Health Care bill gets passed. Why wait? If there are people abusing the current system, why not, in good faith, start eliminating the fraud?

I, for one, don't believe a word of what they are trying to sell us. They are all crooks and robbers. They are trying to get our money via more taxes and will use it for something else.
