OBAMA BECOMING "EPITOME OF POLITICAL QUACKERY"

The President is now alleging that the failure to immediately pass the Senate Health Care package will result in the United States falling off the edge of the Earth. His remarks, made Wednesday night, come after Howard Dean urged U.S. Senators not to pass the Bill because it now does not meet their far-left wing objectives. Republicans have been urging Congress to scrap the plan entirely and to start a new plan that will cap malpractice awards and reduce prescription costs.

Obama told ABC's Charles Gibson, “If we don't pass it, here's the guarantee….your premiums will go up, your employers are going to load up more costs on you,” he said. “Potentially they're going to drop your coverage, because they just can't afford an increase of 25 percent, 30 percent in terms of the costs of providing health care to employees each and every year."

The president said the costs of Medicare and Medicaid are on an “unsustainable” trajectory and if there is no action taken to bring them down, “the federal government will go bankrupt.”
Well, Mr. President, we Americans are sick and tired of your alarmist scare-tactics and your bullying ways. As a matter of fact, sir, we have almost gotten to the point of totally turning you off. You are quickly becoming known as "the epitome of political quackery."

That point having been succinctly made, let's please put this version and all similar versions of the Health Care Plan in the shredder and, right after the first of the year, let's start crafting a new bill that leaves the quality of our health care intact, caps malpractice awards, opens the door for insurance competition across state lines, provides for the import of Canadian drugs, and encourages students to enter the medical profession. Then, let's find ways to provide health care to those who want it, need it, and don't have it. We can, and we must accomplish these objectives without bankrupting the country and without give the government full license to intrude into our personal lives and private health choices.

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
