Kill This Health Care Bill

I was glad to read that Democratic Congressman Stephen Lynch of South Boston will vote “no” on the health care reform bill. This bill does absolutely nothing to control the runaway cost of health insurance. And worst of all, the bill mandates that everyone purchase health insurance or face a fine. Honestly, I might approve of this bill were it not for the fact that it forces people to enter into private contracts with bloodsucking HMOs, just like we have here in Massachusetts.

No poll I’ve seen shows that majority of Americans favor this current (Senate) bill under consideration by the House of Representatives. Compare this with another poll indicating that 60% of Americans want a public option to compete with private insurance, including 86% of Democrats and 57% of independents. These and other polls indicate that Americans think that the efforts of the Democrats don’t go nearly far enough. And that’s not surprising considering that Democrats are one of the two political factions of what we might call the American Business Party.

So thank you, Stephen Lynch, for letting the Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and the other phony liberals know that you think this bill is a pile of dogshit.
