PLAIN SPEAKING: ObamaCare is not good for Wisconsin
By MIKE HUEBSCH

Opposition to ObamaCare has remained steady since its March passage. More than half of Americans think the president and Democrats in Congress damaged the health care system and the national economy with their plan.

Wisconsin AG and Republican Lawmakers Fight Federal Health Care Takeover

According to Merriam-Webster, “to reform” means “to put or change into an improved form or condition.”  Democrats in Congress established a new national health care bureaucracy last weekend, but it didn’t earn the moniker of reform.  The failure to tackle what really makes health care expensive means things will only get worse.  The new laws will push costs even higher, diminish choices and jeopardize quality.

As with many Americans, I vehemently disagree with the congressional majority and the President regarding the passage of so-called health care reform. I'm not going to list the dirty laundry with that bill. That's not the focus of this post. My focus is, however, with how a few people have chosen to express their dissent toward the Democrats voting in favor of so-called health care reform.
 

People who lose their jobs and their health insurance can still get the care they need.  The question has always been, who pays for it?  Our church has door offerings all the time for people who have fallen on hard times.  We don't show them the way to the nearest government office.  We personally help each other.

The point I have been making for months on here and at CouleeConservatives.com is that our nation must get out of the selfish habit of shifting our personal responsibilities to the government.  When someone in your family needs help do you ignore them and insist that there is a government program for them or do you make room in your home for them and open your wallet?

I heard a brief clip of Ron Kind on the radio this morning trying to make the case that the only reason Republicans voted against the government takeover of health care was because they wanted President Obama to fail.  So how does he explain the 34 Democrats who voted with Republicans to try and stop the bill from becoming law?

If this new health care law is so wonderful then why would 34 conservative Democrats oppose it along with every single Republican?  Why would its passage require the use of back room deals, under the table kickbacks, and promises of future cabinet positions?

Ron Kind was on the defensive after following the Democrat leadership and voting in favor of the un-Constitutional Senate version of health care reform (I wonder if he's planning to be the next Ag secretary after his defeat in November).  Now it is on its way to the President's desk for his signature and will officially be the law of the land.

Targeting Insurance Companies Won’t Reduce Health Care Costs

You just can’t make this kind of thing up: The Congresswoman responsible for the plan that will allow ObamaCare to become law without passing both houses of Congress is named Slaughter.  Since Republican Congressman Scott Brown’s historic January win in Massachusetts, a debate on the merits of the proposal has been eclipsed by this procedural chess game designed to get a bill on the president’s desk despite waning support.
