Declaration Of War

From The Wall Street Journal:

The White House and Senate Democratic leaders, seeing little chance of bipartisan support for their health-care overhaul, are considering a strategy shift that would break the legislation into two parts and pass the most expensive provisions solely with Democratic votes.

Democrats hope a split-the-bill plan would speed up a vote and help President Barack Obama meet his goal of getting a final measure by year's end.

Translation:

Put the ugly stuff... The completely unconstitutional government takeover, the increase in taxes, the so-called death panels... In a bill that only Democrats will vote for and have always had the the votes to pass, and put the good stuff - if any - into another bill that the Republicans could vote for... So Obama and his handlers can claim a bi-partisan victory.

Pure evil.

If the Democrats do this, the Republicans should acknowledge that open warfare has been unilaterally declared and walk out in mass before the votes are taken.

Keep in mind that the Democrats do not need a single Republication vote to pass this disastrous bill, so not being there for the vote would make no difference, but what a statement it would make. If the Republicans walked out in mass, Americans across the nation would have no problem identifying who passed this Obamacon power grab come next election.

We are often told how impossible it is to cancel a government program once it has been created.

Bull. We vote in some real Americans into Congress - Not feminists, not Socialists, not Mexican nationalists, not white-haters, not dual-citizen Jews - Then we can get this kind of garbage voted right back out.

You want improvement in our health care? Want to lower costs?

Simple.

Put in tort reform. Quit making our health system a place for lawyers to become rich beyond avarice.

Allow citizens to choose and buy any insurance plan they want, and not just from a limited number of plans offered in their respective States. Allow them to buy only as much coverage as they want. Take away the power of monopoly the insurance companies currently possess.

That's called competition, something that always reduces costs... Of anything.

And, as a additional measure, make certain that the "pre-existing condition" feature in today's policies is eliminated.

Oh yes... One other thing. If an insurance company drops a client when they start getting some expensive healthcare, suspend the insurance company's license to do business until they stop the practice.

Get rid of the money-grubbing lawyers. Make health care insurance truly competitive. Keep them honest. What's so difficult about that to understand?
