Today, the Senate Democrats are worried about the cost of the health care reform bill--to the extent that they are discussing tossing the numbers from Congressional Budget Office, which has already been chastised. The Washington Post writes that Senator "Baucus, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and a key figure in the health debate, has publicly lectured Elmendorf [head of CBO], saying he has a moral duty to be "creative" and deliver the favorable budget estimates "we have to have" to win broad support. "
Instead, the Senate Democrats are thinking rejecting the usual accounting used for legislative proposals and instead using the White House estimates. These (surprise, surprise) show much less cost for health care reform.
Folks, besides taking over our health care, Democrats and President Obama want to bankrupt us in the process.
We'll talk about other ideas on health care (besides federal takeover of our health care system) soon.
And this is what I did: I went to the health care reform site(where you must give your name) http://www.healthreform.gov/ , to the middle of the page where you are invited to "share your story", and wrote the following:
"As a two time cancer survivor, I do not support any efforts of the federal government to control health care. I wish for my health care decisions as to treatments, doctors, and hospitals to be totally free of government input. I should be totally free to spend my health care dollars on the health insurance and care that I see fit. Thank you."
