Let me ask you a question....


If(when) the government takes over the health care system, who do you think is going to pay for it?


Yeah....YOU are.


a few ways the government can raise the kind of money we are talking about to pay for everyone's health care:


-doctors will have to cut their fees. No way can a doctor tell the government what the price is...the government will the tell the doctors EXACTLY what they can can charge. Why are doctors okay with this?

-YOUR taxes will increase.

-Services & drugs that might save your life will be unavailable to you. A new cancer treatment, a breakthrough drug or fancy MRI machine will not be made available to you because you might be too old, too overweight, too far "gone" to save. Seriously- you want a board of government employees telling you and your family what treatment that they will pay for?


I am not saying that our system is perfect, it is far from perfection....BUT....a government run system is not what most Americans want.


Email me some solutions that you think could change the system for the better.


Get out your checkbook,

The $50 Lesson

I recently asked my friends' little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day.
Both of her parents,liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?"
She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."
Her parents beamed with pride."Wow...what a worthy goal."
I told her, "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.
"She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"
I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
Her parents still aren't speaking to me....
