This bill will burden the American Taxpayer for generation to come. The government already spends beyond our means and borrows 40% of the National Debt. This bill must be defeated in the next go round. be
"The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreignlands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."-Cicero (55 B.C.)
What have we leaned from history in 2,064 years? Apparently not much. Before the debate begins to socialize medicine in America, the Senators may aquire a healthy realization of reality and cease the folly of penalizing Americans with massive taxes, fines and jail time for failure to have insurance.
