Healthcare Costs...

“The health care overhauls released to date would increase, not reduce, the burgeoning long-term health costs facing the government, Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf said Thursday.” See full article here.

Did any doubt that the costs would skyrocket? The government cannot control Medicare costs, insurance for the elderly, so how on earth would they be able to do a better job with insurance for everyone?

If I seem cynically, that’s because I am. The federal Government has overstepped its bounds on a continual basis, making rules and regulations that it does NOT have the authority to do. Read the Constitution!! Where does it give the imperial federal government the power to create “nationalized healthcare” or whatever you wish to call it?

Time for the people and the states to step up for their rights guaranteed by the Constitution and related amendments.

"A government afraid of its citizens is a Democracy. Citizens afraid of government is tyranny!" — Thomas Jefferson

"People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people." — Alan Moore

“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.” — Edward R. Murrow
