The President stays on health care, calling on Congress to schedule an up or down vote on health care reform. He takes heavy aim at the insurance companies, hitting them on the steep hike in health care premiums being seen all over the country. Some real issues being raised on health care premiums here in Massachusetts. That is a story for another post.

Your Honor,
Your statement. “Some real issues being raised on health care premiums here in Massachusetts. That is a story for another post” is wrong. It is just the point for it portends the future of this horrible legislation.
Massachusetts, which promised health care cost containment and even some cost reduction has already seen a 30% rise in costs with more to come. Businesses will be hurt and people will pay the fine rather than “buy” the insurance.
PLEASE DON’T TRY AND excuse THE STATE LAW BY TELLING ME REPUBLICANS, INCLUDING SCOTT BROWN AND MIT ROMNEY PLAYED A PART.
You see I don’t care who did it. It was the Massachusetts legislature and administration who “crafted this reform”. I bet with your suppport.
Universal Health care cannot be run at a town level, State level and as we are about to see, the federal level.
Read the Saturday Trib article for some insite.
The federal and state government cannot run a national program of any kind, history tells us. Medicare and social security are 100 trillion in the hole. The big dig was so poorly run that millions were stolen and a woman died from a construction mistake and cost overuns were legendary.
Please show me where I am wrong about this.
