• Time to Hit the Reset Button on Health Care Reform

  The following is a message I received from Minnesota Majority.

  Last night, President Obama tried to reset the debate on health care reform in an address to a joint session of Congress. His objective was merely to change the tone of the debate, not to change the legislation that the American people have rejected. In his address, the president delivered a lot of nice-sounding sound bites that are entirely detached from the reality of the plan that’s being pushed through Congress.

   

  The president’s elegant but empty rhetoric doesn’t change the fact that the 1000-page health care ‘reform’ bill (HR3200) is simply bad public policy. This legislation will (amongst other things):

  • Ration care (pages 29, 85, 800).
  • Drive people to the ‘government option’ (pages 72, 84-85, 265, 341, more).
  • Dramatically increase costs and taxes (CBO estimates over $1 trillion in additional costs).
  • Impose restrictions on how doctors practice medicine (pages 253,280, 289, 335-339, more).
  • Provide government direct access to your personal bank account (page 59).
  • Pressure elderly and seriously ill to forego life-extending care (pages 425-430).
  • Establish a government database that includes your private, personal medical history (page 503).
  • Enable the government to come into homes and usurp parental rights (Page 838).
  • Work to systematically “increase birth intervals between pregnancies,” opening the very real possibility of forced, tax-payer funded abortions (page 768).

  Minnesota Congressman John Kline got it right when he recently said that it’s time to press the reset button on health care reform.  “It’s not too late to start over,” said Kline.  “It’s not to late to do better.”
