The health care reform debate goes on and on. The aspect that appalls me the most is the way House Speaker Pelosi has used the democratic system to her benefit in order to be elected to a position of power and now abuses that power to deprive the American people of their say in the rest of their lives.
All polls show that most Americans do not favor the system for health care proposed and strongly supported by Ms. Pelosi. She, however, disrespects the concerns of the people and calls the ones who actively use their American right insulting names because they dare oppose a losing proposition.
An independent poll, that favored neither Democrats nor Republicans, showed the cost would be horrendous and tax the American people into the next generations. Pelosi and her cronies do not care. They want what they want when they want it regardless of the people who made the mistake of electing her.
History in other countries has shown that government-run most anything but especially health care does not work to the advantage of the people it is supposed to care for. Yes, our country could use some kind of reform but the arrogance of these politicians to think they can rush such far-reaching legislation into being within a few short months is shocking and pretty scary! They hardly represent the people who have the vote.
It is like these politicians are playing a huge board game and are using us for the game pieces, moving us here and there regardless of the rules. They are fine with this because the health care system they want to burden us with, will not be the one they have to contend with in the future. Their health care plans will not change and will probably be covered by our taxes, too.
