First and foremost, Obama DOES advocate single payer healthcare, aka socialized medicine, and has said so. He even laments that private, employer provided healthcare can't be eliminated right away, that he envisions it taking 10, 15, or 20 years to accomplish! My proposal to all who agree with him is to tour the two Genesis hospitals, then Trinity, Mercy, and yes, even Unity. Then have a close look at the Vet's hospital in Ia City, which is, ofcourse govt. run. The later is what's in store for all of us if Obama gets his way. Believe me, none of us want any part of that.
Nobama may, indeed, want single payer healthcare - but do we know if that is in this 'bill'? We don't have a clue. The committee that reviewed and voted on 'the bill' have refused to let the media and the American taxpayers know what is contained in it - probably until after the recess. Well isn't that just ducky? If we would have the info when our legislators have a 'town hall meeting' we could ask pointed questions - but now we are supposed to believe that they have our best interests at heart and will read this HUGE stack of paper and tell us all we need to know. You bettcha!
Now the libs are saying that the folks who show up at town hall meetings are mobs sent by Republicans. Let me assure you that if I had an opportunity to attend one I would go in a heartbeat and no one needs to 'send' me.
We need answers!!!!!!!!!
