After her vote for moving the health care bill to the floor on Tuesday, I wrote the following letter to Senator Lincoln of Arkansas:

Senator Lincoln

WHY?
It cannot possibly work, and you know it will raise taxes. I want answers, and not patronizing ones either! This is socialism, this is an overstepping of authority, and the bill hasn’t even been written yet. Is the Apollo Alliance going to write this one too? What special interests are being ‘taken care of’ with this health care monstrosity?

I want to know, by what authority granted in the Constitution, you felt that you even had a right to vote to proceed with this boondoggle.

Senator, since President Obama first took office there has been what seems to be an organized effort to destroy our Constitution. We were guaranteed the RIGHT to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

What right to life is left when our healthcare is in the hands of a government bureaucrat?

My liberty is being constrained by being forced by government to purchase a product I may or may not want.

How can I pursue happiness when my children’s future is being destroyed by government spending?

Senator Lincoln, I have voted for you in every election since you first went to Washington. Right now, unless there is a major change I cannot envision ever doing that again as I feel as if you have violated my trust and your responsibility.

Sincerely

I’ll let you know if I get answers to anything I have asked

But that’s just My Arrogant Opinion

Health Care Reform. Oh let’s not call it what it is, ie; Socialized Health Care. BO – The President wouldn’t like it, or maybe I should say he doesn’t like it, and has said so.

Isn’t having the government run the health care system and telling us that they are not going to take away our choice somewhat similar to Hitler telling Chamberlain that he had no desires on Europe? In other words a bald faced lie? People in the media seem to be having trouble with that word. But an intentional statement designed to hide the truth is a lie. Okay, that’s all said, let’s look at some logical points here.

No one is being forced by the government to change their insurance plan. This is probably true, no one is going to force you to take part in the government plan, with one small exception. You will be required to PAY for it. If it is run by the government, it is run with tax dollars.

You won’t have to give up your present coverage. Okay, the government won’t force you to give it up, but the truth is that if our taxes are being used to subsidize health care then companies will stop providing it. It is a hassle and an expense that they would certainly like to be shed of. Where does that leave us? Why either uninsured, or right on the Obama Single Payer Bandwagon.

Will the government offer us vouchers or tax deductions for choosing our own coverage outside the plan sponsored by government? Well, think about school vouchers, those have been sought by the people who do not like the education provided by our tax dollars and who have taken it upon themselves to send their children to private school, the government says no, you may not have tax vouchers for the money spent on private schools, but thanks for playing our game.

It would appear to me, that if this plan goes through, that we are just screwed again.

To me, it seems as though Obama’s Hope and Change is disintegrating before our very eyes.

But that’s just My Arrogant Opinion
