My two cents

The vote for the House Bill, H.R. 3962 will likely take place on Friday.

I don't believe the drafters of the bill intended harm, but this HUGE bill will have many unintended consequences including a general move towards government-run healthcare and loss of options in the insurance market. I also feel the bill will cost far more than CBO estimates. As a surgical specialist, my husband predicts his workload will increase (as new medical students will find little benefit to the long, difficult years of training without higher compensation)--as specialist's workload increases, longer waitimes for patients will be the end result. He also fears his practice of medicine will be dictated by beaurocratic panels who have little interest in individual patients, but rather, the bottom line.

In addition, all 17 proposed amendments that would prohibit taxpayer funding for abortion in ObamaCare have been defeated. It is immoral to fund the destruction of innocent human life-especially if that funding comes from MY taxes. I urge you to protect the life of the unborn by opposing the Health Care Bill.

Please call your congressmen and Senators and tell them to VOTE AGAINST HR 3962.

I feel like our heath care system is already being run by a beaurocratic panel that only care about the bottom line. You can't tell me that any insurance company cares about what kind of care I get. All they want is to make the most money off of me as possible.

SO scary. We're feeling the same way on our end.

I agree - And I try to remember, ALL of these programs are BUSINESSES. They are people out to earn more money, just because our health is a moral issue to us, doesn't change that they are all businesses.

I hope you don't mind--I tweaked part of your post and used it in e-mails to my congressman, asking him to vote against the bill!
