Well, the quote "this is what change looks like" comes to my mind at the moment. Change is a massive understatement to say the least. I just had a few thoughts on my mind recently, and I wanted to get them out there for my avid follower(s) on this blog.
First, I would like to address the manner in which the recent health care overhaul bill was passed. If I remember correctly, Obama said that there would be televised footage of this legislative process as it occurred. Not only that, but it would also include sitting down at the table with health care professionals (doctors and others in the field) as well as people from the insurance companies and representatives of the people. This was how it was supposed to happen, so that they could all sit down and figure out what was best for this country's health care system. Now, if you have read any of my past posts on here, you know I am very against the current administration and their methods of supposed politics. So, needless to say, you can safely assume I am absolutely against this health care bill. I am not saying by any means that our country's system is perfect, or that it works as good as it should. I acknowledge that it doesn't whole heartedly, and that it does need to be fixed. However, passing this legislation behind closed doors, without being made completely public so that we could hear what our "representatives of the people" say and see what they do, and by using pathetic measures such as budget reconciliation to make sure those that oppose it congress cannot even filibuster it, is wrong. So much for having any trace of integrity or respect for those you are to serve Obama. One more note on this particular subject, is that Obama continually accused those of the more conservative side, as well as a few democrats who opposed this bill of playing favorites toward the side of lobbyists and special interest groups. If you ask me, or any other person of normal intelligence, it would be clear that they (Obama and his cronies)are the ones serving their own special interests. This is perfectly evidenced by the manner they so relentlessly pushed this bill through.
Anyway, now that it's been passed and signed into effect, some of it immediately, let's talk about some of the ramifications it will have on this country. Let's point out the obvious first. Number one, the economic consequences will be painfully evident, in about 3-5 years it has been speculated, when the insurance companies disappear due to bankruptcy and other financial woes because of the pressures newly placed upon them by this joke of a bill. Effective immediately, insurance companies can no longer deny coverage for people based on preexisting conditions. This spells impending doom money wise. The insurance companies are going to paying out to everybody and their dog now. I am sorry for those people with bad health conditions, but the whole country shouldn't have to pay the price with its citizens money and freedom. I think it's funny also that it has been speculated to be about 3-5 years by some when the inurance companies will be out of the picture. I say that because, in about 3 years and 8 1/2 months that mandate for every citizen to have health care will kick into effect. Coincidence? I really doubt it. This administration has shown it's true colors people, they want our freedom and congress is giving it to them on a silver platter. Not only that but they're giving us the crap care option, and taking the best for themselves. Members of congress are exempt from that mandate, and i very well remember Obama being asked if he and his family would be going onto a government care plan if one was passed. You remember what he said? He said "no, I want my family to have the BEST care." Are we not his family as Americans? He's the president of our country, and has made it obvious that he does not have what's best for us, his constituency, in mind.
Anyway, another economical result will be the massive debt that is going to pile up, and the loss of people in the health care career field. They're also wanting to tax medical equipment manufacturers to try and pay for part of this $940 billion bill. Can you say goodbye best quality medical equipment in the world?
Now, my final major ramification to be mentioned is the generational effect. Health care quality is going to go down the tube, not just for us but for our children and probably their children as well. I don't know about you, but when it comes to my family i want the best, like Obama. (That is probably the only things we will ever have in common.) Not only is the quality of care going to go down, but we're going to be footing the bill for the price tag as well as our kids, and their kids.
In closing I have only this to say...
Our constitution is being burned and the ashes spit on in front of our eyes. So, thank you to those dummies who wanted something for nothing and voted this clown into office. Thank you SO MUCH...

I couldn't agree with you more. For me there is only one option now, and that is to vote all those clowns that passed this bill right out of office starting with Obama.
The more I think about this bill that forces insurance companies to accept everyone, the more upset it makes me.
Health care is not a fundamental right. Anything that causes the government to take from some people to give to others is not a right.
