Thoughts about the "Health Care bill." Whichever one of the many, we mean.

All are intended to be phased in in 2013, NOT ANY SOONER!!! So WHY did the Democrats vote down an amendment calling for the FINAL bill to be available for the public and Congress to read for 72 hours before a vote is taken on it? That seems illogical if all is on the "up and up."
ALSO

Democrats say that 'death committees, rationing, benefit cuts, and many others things are not in any of the bills. I agree that none of those things are specifically IN any of the bills, but NEITHER are they specifically NOT in any of the bills. All the bills are loaded with VAGUE language, NOT a plus in a LAW. In many cases, future decisions are left to "An Administrator" to decide yes or no on a specific question. Again, inserting a Bureaucrat, as the final authority, is NOT a plus in a LAW. Aren't LAWS supposed to be hyper-specific?

Do Liberals have an underlying agenda in this health care fiasco? None of us can say, yes or no to that. But the vagueness in the proposed laws and the resistance to bi-partisan compromise is highly suspicious. Also suspicious is the way the liberals have presented the problem this time.
Over the last 5 months they have said:
Our health care system is awful and lags FAR behind many other developed AND UNDEVELOPED Nations.
Nobody believed that!
Then they changed to "Doctors and Hospitals are overcharging all of us!
Nobody believed that!
Then they changed to an imaginary 45 million people without coverage.
Some may have believed that, but few cared!
Now they have changed to the Insurance Companies are the villains. In fact, now they call the bills Health INSURANCE reform bills. No longer health CARE bills.
The Insurance Industry does make a good villain, except that it is heavily and TOTALLY regulated by POLITICIANS, and has been for many many decades. The Insurance industry ONLY does what the politicians ALLOW them to do.

The constantly changing "villain," is very suspicious of some other agenda.
Logic and lies have a hard time co-existing!

And why must the best WORKING health care system on the planet be scrapped en masse rather than identifying its worst problem, fix that single problem and THEN move on to the next most serious problem. Health care is an area of American life that has been actively debated for more than 20 years and discussed for 2 or 3 times that long. It is NOT a crisis now, it has NEVER been a crisis. It is NOT an emergency now, it has never been an emergency. Why NOT take the time and do it RIGHT?
We could FIX ONE major problem a YEAR for the next FOUR years and have the 4 worst problems corrected BEFORE any of the present bills would be implemented. In other words, NOT A SINGLE SECOND WOULD BE LOST. And 4 problems would be fixed. NOT political problems, ACTUAL problems!
