Is your love afair with Barry Obama over yet?

I openly admit that I do not have all the details, and am writing with perhaps partial information, but I write any way... Because I am a bit afraid and amazed at the people.

 

I heard this morning that your beloved President has a plan to pay for all the proposed health care reform: His plan includes things like, taxing people with income above 250k/year, cutting medicaid and medicare, and imposing penalties upon companies and individuals who do not cary health insurance.

I can understand taxing the rich, but not disproportionally. I can't see cutting medicaid/medicare- that will take away from the old people who depend on that system. (The ultimate goal being to euthanize the elderly, or to stock-pile them in warehouses until they die, much the way the assylums were for the mentally handi-capped until the 1970's. The only alternative I can think of being that the children will be required to insure the parents, and what of those who have no children?)

To impose penalties upon those who are unable to, or who have chosen not to carry health insurance takes away the freedom of choice. You impose penalties on speeders and lawbreakers. You impose penalties on companies for non-compliance issues. If a company has, say four employees, and does a meager business, trusting in the good heart of the employees to help build a company from the ground, at what point does the government decide it is time to impose such a penalty? If a familyfalls between the cracks, or hits hard times after some unplanned financial struggle, (who ever plans to struggle financially?), how will they pay such a penalty? And what is the amount of the penalty? It is entirely possible for a family of four to have a household income of 40k, which is well above the poverty line, not living extravagantly, owning used cars and making payments on them, to have such financial struggles as to worry occassionally about whether to put gas in the car or food on the table, while keeping the basic bills barely up to date.

Health care reform should not be imposed upon those seeking medical attention, but on the practitioners who charge $8200 for a night in a hospital, or above 10k to simply have a child, which is a natural course of life. A doctor who walks into a patients room and listens to a heart beat for 30 seconds should not charge $400 for that 2 minute visit. (These are the kind of things that have caused us to be in a healthcare crisis to begin with.) Where is the cap in trade where that is concerned? They want to impose a cap on what a construction project may cost, cutting into the pockets of those who risk injury to build the mansions of the doctors who charge too much to treat them!

 

Quite frankly put, I am afraid for America. I am afraid of Barak Obama. His language reflects that of the fathers of Communism. I know I may not have all the information I need to make these statements, but by my gut-instinct, I am right.

Has your love for your Czar ended yet?

Re: Barak Obama Health Care Plan
One point that a lot of people miss about taxing the health benefits of people making over 250k is that a large percentage(I beleive as much 60%) are actually small business owners. Their "income" level exceeds 250k becuase they operate as a sole propriatership and are taxed on the companies profits as they own personal income.

Needless to say not all small business owners are wealthy, a lawyer who makes 250 a year and a guy who owns a pizza place and makes 250 a year probably don't drive the same car to work everyday.

The public at large doesn't know this and they don't look at taxing the "wealthy" as that big a deal because most of us don't and won't make 250 a year and we don't feel bad for the people that do. But the truth is it will hurt small business and force them to raise prices for their products and services or cut more employees at a time when the economy can't afford for either to be happening.

This is how he got elected in the first place, the message sounds great, HOPE!, CHANGE!, YES WE CAN! but the reality is he is not going to deliver policies that the American public is going to like adjusting to.
