Sneaky Politicians and Their Health Care Bill

While most of the US was sleeping on last Saturday night, out to dinner, or maybe catching a movie the sneaky politicians in the House passed the largest Federal bill the history of the US.  The change that was touted by Obama in the 2008 elections is just a smoke screen and it’s simply politics as usual.  The Blue Dog Democrats didn’t want to touch this bill but after some intimidation from Obama they got enough votes to squeeze it through 220 to 215.  How does this relate to long term care you may ask?  We’ll, wedged in the 1990 page bill is a government run long term care program called, are you ready, get this---Class ACT.  Ironically the method that the bill was passed is anything other than a class ACT.  The politicians know that it they passed this radio-active bill at 11:32pm on Saturday night  they would have 36 hours for the dust to settle on the news cycle in hopes that the American people are so ignorant and would forget.  By ramming this through in such a underhanded way they my friends have just kicked over a hornets' nest in the America people who will not stand for this kind of change. 

American people are smart, good, and not selfish people unlike like these politicians. They know that spending 1.5 trillion dollars on such a pointless bill will wreck havoc on future generations.  The Greatest Generation of the WWII era sacrificed, they did without wants so that their kids would have a better life.  Spending 1.5 trillion of our kid’s money is the most selfish, lazy thing one can imagine.  Thankfully our founding fathers were smarter than these politicians and now it must pass the Senate, then go back to the house to combine the bills.

All aspects of the government proposed health insurance including the smoke and mirrors CLASS ACT long term care plan will provide fewer benefits for more money.  Make sense? 

The government run long term care plan hidden in the 1990 page bill will be more expensive than private insurance to start, you can't use if for the first five years, and your premiums will go up each year.  The unhealthy people will be the only people who will want to buy this poor plan because they could not qualify for private insurance.  When you have nothing but unhealthy people in an insurance group you will get drastically higher claims our pacing premiums coming in.  Simply unsustainable and un-American.  I've read this 1990 page bill as best I could and you'll want no part of it. 

A side note is today the Obama administration announced women no longer should get breast cancer screening until age 50.  Hmm, sounds like they are already priming the pump to health care rationing which will happen if government run health care is passed.  Call your Congress person and tell them no thanks on the health care bill because we the people know it's not sustainable.
