Say Goodbye

For those of you who don't know yet, the health care reform bill passed yesterday. I am borrowing this from my sister's blog because I completely agree and couldn't have said it better. She always backs up any claims she makes with links so follow the link if you want to see the numbers for yourself.

*54%
of Americans Oppose the current health care bill
*41% of Americans favor it

*45% of Americans Strongly Oppose the current health care bill
*26% strongly favor it

*57% of Americans believe that if the current bill passes, health care cost will go up
*only 17% believe it will actually lower costs

*54% of Americans believe the current bill will hurt the quality of care
*Roll Call (a mag on The Hill) reported that 100,000 phone calls per hour were made on Friday in opposition to the bill


For those of you who were apathetic to this, enjoy the health care you have chosen for yourself. With everything in me, I fought this.

Things you have to look forward to with the passage of this bill:

*Millions of unborn babies killed on the tax payer's dime. (I bet you didn't know that was in there, Mormons.)
*No more private loans for education purposes. (Yes, it's true, in a "health care" bill. The government now controls who gets loans for school.)
*Mandatory purchase of health insurance.
*Increased taxes.
*10 years of taxes for 6 years of service. (Oh THAT's how it is budget neutral, eh? Nevermind the fact that government never comes in on budget--the 2010 cenus is already over budget.)
*Nevermind the liberty we have lost....
