Stop the insanity. The current healthcare bills are economically unsustainable. The American people know that so why can't
the Congress figure it out? The healthcare debacle amounts to an immense redistribution of wealth that would completely destroy our country's financial well being. Congress needs to scrap these bills and concentrate on jobs and the economy. The Healthcare bills amount to an extreme partisan effort which has completely shut out other viewpoints and has failed to engage with physicians and adequately safeguard the private relationship between doctor(s) and patients. There are certainly many areas of agreement for healthcare reform but this congress under Pelosi & Reid has arrogantly and utterly failed to consider them. The rediculously massive 1000 page plus bill offered by the House and added to the Senate bills which are being written/changed behind tightly closed doors still amounts to poor legislation. The urgency to pass it seems extremely suspect, especially after the pork laden stimulus bill that has failed in its stated intention.The current Healthcare bills need to go into the circular file where they belong. Address the waste and fraud in the Medicare & Medicaid programs. Prove you can fix them before putting the entire economy into a tailspin and indebting our children and grandchildren for their lifetime. Take a look at the "success" of getting the H1N1 vaccine to people...and you want us to trust you with healthcare? Start over, take it slow, make it bi-partisan and get it right!
