The Book of Orton

I am not one to  really get behind something politically very often, because, well I can see both sides sometimes and neither of them seem to really strike me as absolute wrong or absolute right, and so many times I vote reluctantly, just choosing in my mind, the lesser evil of the two.  With Health care, this has not been the case.   I am definitely not anti -President Obama, because again, I don't think everything he does is complete evil and I think or at least HOPE he has his heart in the right place even if he IS mislead.  Health care passed the other day and let me just point out a few things that those of you with the opinion of : "I want to help the poor so I don't mind giving a little extra money to do it." point of view might not have known ( I borrowed this from my friend Mindy's blog because I  agree also and she says it so much better).

*54% of Americans Oppose the current health care bill

*41% of Americans favor it

*45% of Americans Strongly Oppose the current health care bill
*26% strongly favor it

*57% of Americans believe that if the current bill passes, health care cost will go up

*only 17% believe it will actually lower costs

*54% of Americans believe the current bill will hurt the quality of care

*Roll Call (a mag on The Hill) reported that 100,000 phone calls per hour were made on Friday in opposition to the bill

IE: The majority of Americans DID NOT want this bill to pass, but it still did.

For those of you who were apathetic to this, enjoy the health care you have chosen for yourself. With everything in me, I fought this.

Things you have to look forward to with the passage of this bill:

*Millions of unborn babies killed on the tax payer's dime. (I bet you didn't know that was in there, Mormons.)

*No more private loans for education purposes. (Yes, it's true, in a "health care" bill. The government now controls who gets loans for school.)

*Mandatory purchase of health insurance.(or you will be fined)

*Increased taxes.

*10 years of taxes for 6 years of service. (Oh THAT's how it is budget neutral, eh? Nevermind the fact that government never comes in on budget--the 2010 cenus is already over budget.)

*Nevermind the liberty we have lost....
