Editor: I am sure by now that most Americans are now brainwashed enough to think that it is their constitutional right to have free health care. I am not one of those. I do believe that we can do better than what we are doing but the cost needs to shared by all. I think if the Democrats really want to have a fair and balanced health bill then they need to get rid of the present 1,018 pages. It’s mind-boggling; no one has the time it takes to understand, it’s full of contradictions and it’s just a plain garbage bill that is now being passed off as “health care reform.” Give me a bill not more than 30 pages, with clear guidelines on who is covered, for what, for how long and who is excluded. If you are not an American citizen or here legally, then go back to where you came from for medical help. I want something that I can understand, please no more: refer to section 8 article 6, then to section 7 article 28. Oops, sorry. Look at section 97 article 109. I could live with a bill that is paid for by a percentage of everyone’s income. Even if you are on welfare you need to kick something back into the system. No free rides! I’d like a bill that will not pay for on-demand abortions, sex changes, nose jobs, face uplifts, tummy tucks, hair transplant and other personal procedures. What’s wrong with a bill that gives people a chance at a recovery program, but only once? If you don’t want to be rehabilitated, then don’t expect me to keep on paying for your stupid decisions. I’d vote for a bill that would wipe out Medicare, Medicaid, and all state health care programs. The people paying for those programs could use the money to help pay for free health care. Every one will have to be on board no matter who you are. No more using the children to blackmail people into supporting tax increases to fund free health care for “the children.” If you want better health care with more coverage, then you should have the right to get an additional health insurance policy to pay for items not covered under free health care. With more money in your pocket from not funding all the health programs we have now, you can afford additional insurance. Yeah, I know. Dream on dreamer, dream on.
