I have apx. 6,ooo dollars a year to live on; will you force more money from me?
My religion forbids human medical treatment; will you violate my religious freedoms?
Nutritional therapy works to STOP disease; will you make me into a sick prescription drug addict, like my mother?
Will you continue to let FDA criminalize people for wanting to be healthy; by (FDA) illegalizing natural nutrients that without make a nation sick?
Will you continue to forbid proven cures from other countries, for long standing diseases, to come to our alleged civilized nation.
Will you jail me for refusing man made drugs that kill more people than the diseases themselves?
Will you jail me for being healthy and not needing your brand of ‘health care’?
Must I now fight ‘you’ to keep my freedom? If you can’t destroy America from outside do it from within?
You were not hired to police me, you were hired to serve and protect me. My country runs just fine without you. It always has; why do you imagine is the reason your political party pushed and got a cap on the number of years one person can be a president.
The president does NOT run this country; WE the people do.
Stop listening to your godless chatterers and seek the still small voice of your Creator: or be fired by the ‘WE’.

Enter the truth-squad. Effective health reforms mean NOT following the path of the Massachusetts insurance law. It means following the principle of putting patients before profits.

The Massachusetts mandatory insurance law is largely a give-a-way to the private insurance industry. Chapter 58 of the Acts of 2006 is a law that was rammed through by special interests and state legislators afraid of losing Federal Medicaid waiver money.

The MA law that was largely written by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of MA (with help from the Urban Institute who was paid handsomely by MA BCBS) and the Heritage Foundation (Repub Gov. Romney thanked Heritage publicly in his press release after signing the lawin April 2006).

One of the biggest failings of the MA health insurance law (and, believe me, there are many failings) is that it did not include creating a public insurance choice and it did not include a shred of cost control measures. Obama has pledged to include these components in his reform and we must hold him to it. Instead, The MA Plan handed over the pocketbooks of individuals, businesses, and taxpayers to the private insurance industry.

So, reader beware (and attendee of the VT Regional forum beware), in full balance the MA Plan is a bad deal. Yes, it does some good for some people, but at what cost and what value are we getting for that cost?
