Insurance companies who don't want to give up their mega profits don't want healthcare reform. Insurance companies and their lobbyists have resorted to scare tactics to stop reform.
There are those that say they don't want the government to be involved in their healthcare but some of these people are on Medicare. Huh? So I asked them, "So you don't want your Medicare anymore?" and they say "Huh?" If those on Medicare or Medicaid no longer want to participate because they discovered they are on a government run program, maybe the savings will help pay for a government run medical plan for those who need health care coverage and do want it.
How about all those cushy government jobs with their great benefits? Maybe the government should get out of the employment business and turn it all over to privatization. If that happened, would government employees have an option to stick with their government employer or would they be forced to give up that option to have the government involved in their employment, their health plan and all those other wonderful benefits government employees get from their government run employer? I have to wonder if privatization would reduce their salaries and benefits so that the private companies could drastically increase their profits.
How about all those government holidays? We should get rid of them too....that would save a lot of money. Doesn't the government run the military forces? Crap...what would we do without a government run military? Would we end up like other 3rd world countries? At least we wouldn't have the government interfering in our security and over-protecting us.
One more thing....a lot of us want the public option plan because it gives us a choice. Isn't that what we have when we vote in our government-run public elections...a choice? I like choices and options. My vote will go to those who want the American public to have a choice.
