One Size Does Not Fit All

Universal Health Care, the new "gadget" coming from the Obama administration. Politicians are already touting it as good for everyone, from the uninsured to the elderly. Wait a minute, I've read a little on this. The word "rationing" is used. Hmmm, rationing: "to limit; to allow a person only a certain amount. Excuse me?

I remember a long time ago when we didn't have any "health care" at all. At least not to the extent we have it now. We had a very simple idea of when you were sick you saw your Dr. or he saw you, he prescribed some medication, you paid your bill and went home. No gigantic insurance companies, no gobs of government paperwork gobbly-gook that now require an entire staff of pseudo-government scientists to interpret for the Dr., no Medicare, no Medicaid. Just good ole One-on-One and it worked just fine. If you couldn't pay you baked a pie, or shoed a horse or knit an afghan.

What happened to simplicity?

What if I do not want to have this Universal Health Care shoved upon me? Do I not have a say in the matter? Especially when I've read just how inferior it will be and how costly.

We already have socialist countries shouting at us "don't be fools, tell Congress that you don't want this as you certainly will regret it."

Long lines, maybe getting your medicine, maybe not. Maybe seeing a Dr. maybe not. And the ones who will fare the worst are the ones at the top of the pile - the elderly.

Will we have a chart with age groups so we know just how much medicine and how many trips to the Dr. this or that person will be permitted?

I know this sounds incredulous but listen to the people who have gone through this--Canada, the UK. Why, they came here for medical care. And lots of them are leaving their countries because of care they are not receiving.

We need to stand up. And we need to do it fast.

This is another one of those "urgent" items on Mr. Obama's agenda and if I recollect he wants to have this Universal Health Care in by December of this year.

Remember the "urgency" with the bailouts, no one had the time to read the fine print or any print and look where we are with our financial system.

Do we want to further this country down the road to oblivion for voting for this next thuggist Socialist agenda that is being touted as "good for us all?"

I don't want to take a chance. I'm against it and I'm letting my legislators know about it in no uncertain terms.

Folks, this is deadly serious. Please visit this website: CPRIGHTS.ORG to find out the information you need in order to make an informed decision.

Please do this for yourself, your family, your loved ones, your country. Let us not be remembered as this:

"Ah, yes, 'America', what a sweet and warm country. We once knew her well but then her own people let her down".
