Unhealthy Heath Care Bill

Change you can believe in. Loose change that is, which is all you'll have after paying for the consequences of everyone else's choices.
For a while, Obama may get some praise from some, but soon the taxes will be soaring, and the news will be out that it took some corruption to get this bill passed, and Obama won't be the hero anymore. You see, you can't pass bills to increase your popularity. Maybe Obama should have thought less about making history and more about the wallets of his dear citizens. Maybe he shouldn't have gone through loopholes to pass a bill, but perhaps have done what he swore on the Bible to do--uphold the Constitution. Fancy that.

I will agree health care needs to change, and it is a very difficult problem to solve. I'm not sure what the right way is to tackle it. But, in what Mitt Romney aptly called "an unconscionable abuse of power," Obama once more took the Democratic route of denying consequences. Sure, he reformed health care like no other president has before, but is this a commendable feat? What it comes down to is not having consequences. We republicans like to be held accountable for our actions. Now, even if you live a healthy life, you will be paying taxes that will pay for the health consequences of your neighbor's smoking habit, his prescriptions, his spontaneous emergency room visits, and the consequences of other choices. Perhaps the most chilling aspect of the passing of the health care bill is that our tax dollars fund abortions. Can Obama's administration have been more cold towards the unborn than to pass a bill that makes it more affordable and easier to get an abortion? Abortion is NOT health care.

Consequences. Who needs 'em? Make someone else pay for those.

We can make a difference.
