Hello St Louis and America.

I have not been a big political person in he past but what I am hearing and seeing in this new health care bill has aroused my interests.  Why has it raised my attention to it? Well first off the health care bill  mandates you or your place of business has to have a private health care policy or use the government ran policy.  My e-mail box has a letter in it from the liberty counsel organization that has even heightened my attention even more.

One of the policies of the bill says you or your employer must have proof of health  insurance. Which leads me to the part of the policy that allows the employer to opt. out of giving health insurance and pay a penalty of $2000 instead. What does that mean to you and me? It means an employer could go for this optional penalty and than you would have the government ran insurance. Which if you know how much insurance cost is far less than what it cost now.

Were does that lead the cost after this happens? It raises the cost even more to individuals who want the private insurance policy. And on top of that we the people have to pay higher taxes to pay for it. So do we really save money in the long run or do we end up paying more? I think more…   Just to give you more information on what this does is make a bigger government which means it needs more funds to support it. Who pays for bigger government? We the people of the USA.

It still looks like the government wants to make our choices for us. We loose our freedom and our hard earned money to government who just spends it on what ever they want and fills those pockets of their constituents.  The facts are if you look at social security and the post office, government does not know how to run a business, they just print more money and hands it out.

For the self-employed who want the private health care insurance it will cost them more to have it. Why? Because there will be less people who will buy private health care policies thus raising the premiums up even more. Now for the unemployed it will serve them well. I hope the ones who get it from unemployment is because they can’t find a job and not because they don’t want a job. I could see this even hurting the government even more because of the IRS having to find those people who are using it and doing those odd jobs and not reporting this income so they benefit from there unemployment in ways most people wouldn’t dare think about doing.

What does government mean in your eyes. The word government to this writer means they should govern the people not control the people.  Or govern the health care system not run it. Lets face it, when there is to many hands in the funds, the funds deplete very quickly.

Quote from the Liberty Counsel “Mandating that health insurance be purchased by every person or their employer is a classic example of arbitrary power the Constitution was designed to guard against. Congress lacks the authority to force the American people into making insurance purchases. Period. And what American actually wants to face the IRS, including their 16,500 new agents, who will act as the bill’s enforcement agency?”

Some more fallout about the Health Care Bill…

• According to the Wall Street Journal, the detrimental affects of “reform” are already being felt in the private sector. Caterpillar, for instance, said the new health care mandates would cost the company at least $100 million or more in the first year alone.

• Medtronic, a medical device maker, warned that new taxes on its products could force it to lay off a thousand workers. Verizon has joined those businesses sounding the alarm about serious adverse consequences.

• A recent Rasmussen poll reported that 52 percent of Americans trust the insurance industry to run health care more than the federal government. This is a particularly telling statistic considering how Americans feel about insurance companies!
