Democrats Forced to Consider A Different Health Care Bill

Now that Scott Brown won the Senate seat in MA, the first time a Republican has held a Senate seat in that state since 1972, Democrats are now considering scaling down their health care bill.

As I read the story, I am perplexed to find that Democrats just don't seem to ever "get it"! They can't understand why, in the most liberal of all liberal states, a Republican won the Senate seat that has been held by looney liberal Kennedy for years upon years. It's some major shock to them that the people of this country don't want government run health care, they don't want a bunch of new taxes (mostly because we can't afford them), and they don't want socialism!

Of course, they will try to just push a few things through at a time. It's all about increments with socialists. They start out slow, wear down our guards, slowly deteriorate the moral fabric of this country, anything to push their sick agenda through. The means always justify the ends. The ignorant follow. It's no wonder they don't care about terrorism. Just like the Islamic terrorist, they patiently wait, for years upon years, all to tear down the lifestyle of someone else they don't agree with. It's never about tolerance yet, that's the word they use. It's never about being accepting yet, that's exactly what they claim everyone should do.

The socialists are the wolves in sheep's clothing. They are the one's who claim to fight for the little guy, knowing full well they never want the little guy to change or develop, just remain a little guy so they can have support, that support is their power. Try to tell the little man he CAN change, he CAN improve, he CAN do things on his own, and you're a conservative, an ENEMY of the left. Reward success and be hated for doing so. That's what a conservative has to face everyday in this country.

I have to say, with the win in MA by Scott Brown, I am so much more positive then I have ever been. Either people are starting to wake up or, they have been awake, they just haven't felt their voices could really be heard. I am guessing the latter.

Health Care Negotiations

According to the article from Reuters, the democrats have reached an agreement about the health care bill. Click title for article.

Democratic Senate sources said the substitute would create a non-profit plan operated by private insurers but administered by the Office of Personnel Management, which supervises health coverage for federal workers.

Of course the democrats use language that suggests they actually believe in "competition" but, I still don't really understand how this is different from a "public option." Even if it's privately run, it will still require a whole lot of monitoring by the government; will it not?

The Senator from my state, NE, Ben Nelson (D), proposed an amendment that would restrict abortions from being covered but, that was shot down. Because of this, Ben Nelson has said he wouldn't support the final bill.

Why would anybody support a plan that would cover abortions? Can we also go ahead and include plastic surgery? Or, how about teeth whitening and orthodontist services? Breast enhancements? I mean, if these idiots want to cover a procedure that is an ELECTIVE procedure, why limit it to killing an innocent? I would much rather pay for a tummy tuck than murdering a baby.

Abortion is a state's issue. Not one that should be forced upon people through the courts, like it currently is. If even Ruth Ginsberg can say this, how can anyone say otherwise? Let the states vote on whether they want to support it but, as far as the government paying for it? Absolutely not. Yes, there are two sides to this. You aren't going to get pro-life folks to ever go along with killing a baby, and why should they? You aren't going to get anti-life folks to believe that abortion is wrong. It's just not going to happen. When you have an issue like this that is so personal, you have to let the people decide for themselves. The government just can't be paying for this! It's elective.

This is just one example of why it's so dangerous to have the government involved in so much of our lives. What I don't understand is when these liberals claim they don't want the government in their bedroom but, they turn around and gladly accept them in all of their medical decisions? I'm not even sure what they mean by the government being in their bedrooms anyway.

In this compromise, Medicare is also expanded. It's fine to expand it but, for goodness sakes, the only way to create competition is to allow insurance companies to sell anywhere they chose. This is so obvious! Why is it that demoncraps can't understand this?! Libtards at their finest.
