Hostile

Does health care reform represent a hostile government takeover? Even typing that phrase, my blood pressure rose.

Do we want to continue to see 50 million of our brothers and sisters without health insurance of any kind?

Do we want to see bankruptcy declared daily by those, even those who have insurance, who are confronted with ridiculous medical bills?

Do we want the insurance honchos to rape the country the way the AIG/Wall Street heads did?

Does it really make a difference if payment goes to the massive, unresponsive insurance industry out of our checks, or goes to the massive, more responsive government out of our checks?

Make no mistake, the hostility toward the citizenry in the reform debate is rooted in the insurance, medical, and pharmaceutical industries, which hope to pick our pockets for a long, long time.
