I believe that forcing people to pay money that they earned to buy a product that they do not want by threatening them with fines and imprisonment is immoral. I believe that forcing one American to pay for the medical insurance of other Americans, some of whom are able-bodied adult men and women who refuse to engage in an honest day's work, is immoral. Finally, I believe that Obama deliberately misrepresented the contents of the House and Senate bills in an attempt to fool the American people and incrementally nationalize our health care system. As I have demonstrated countless times, Obama is a liar.

If you do not want to believe use your own eyes, ears, and brain, then that is not my problem but I certainly do not want to pay for your mistakes. Fortunately, most other Americans are no longer willing to swallow Obama's lies hook, line, and sinker, so the chances of either of the ridiculous bills pending in Congress ever becoming the law of the land are extremely remote.

Hoot, the poor, the elderly, children of the poor... these folks already have medical insurance. I am talking about the working poor and the squeezed middle. For me, I think as long as private insurance is predominant, "green" matters more than adequate, affordable healthcare for all. I believe that the government is about the only entity left with the strength (if not always the will) to protect the public from corporate greed. I also believe it is the role of the people to be watchguards over the government if power becomes invasive or pervasive. The power of the corporation is at least as dangerous as the unchecked power of government. Recent history has proven both capable of atrocity, ruthlessness, deceit, etc.
