AFTER THE PRESIDENT'S SALES PITCH...

SPECIAL POST

1. I can’t help but wonder if anybody has bothered to ask the medical and health communities if they can contribute a viable answer to the health care problem?

2. If we add 26 million people to the health care system tomorrow, how many of those 26 million people will be sitting in doctor’s offices by the end of the day looking for a free checkup?

3. What impact will the new plan have on service in the initial days and weeks?

4. How will we process those 26 million sign ups?

5. What about the 12 million illegals to be covered under this policy? Why?

6. Why was the Manager of the Congressional Budget Office called to the White House after he issued facts and figures which do not support the new Health Plan proposal?

7. Why won't the Members of Congress agree to read it before they vote on it?

8. Given its attributed costs, why won't the American public be allowed to see it before it is voted on?


9. Where does our President get the unmitigated gall to claim that the money we have spent and allocated has now saved the economy?

10. When we are the ones trying to slow this process down so that we can examine the new Plan and constructively debate it, why does the President say that we are the ones who want action now?

We do need changes in Health Care for our nation. But, we are talking a lot of money on top of a lot of money that, despite the President's statements to the contrary, has not been effective in straightening up our economy. And, we're talking about creating an entitlement to the American people that will last forever and ever. We need to move forward, but not until we have dotted the i's and crossed the t's.


That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
