Congress is considering a bill which will require everyone to obtain health care. It will also require all companies to provide health care to their employees. What it doesn’t say is how the individuals, or the companies, are going to pay the cost.
Most people, and most companies do not have the same opportunity as the government to spend money that they do not have, at least not for very long, and not without serious consequences.
I am very concerned that the cure that congress is offering for our health care issues is going to have serious side effects. I see a disruption of our economy and our health care system that will be detrimental to the well being of our country.

One doesn’t have to look far to see that government doesn’t know how to run health care — just look at medicare and medicaid. Or how about the State of IL holding up payment on health claims because the state has no money. Oh sure they will pay the provider of service interest whenever the money is finally there. The government track record with health care is not good. How about if they first work on fixing what is already broken before they create a mess on top of a mess?

Gloria, thanks for commenting. A mess on top of a mess, that is a nice way of putting it. I would like to see some health care reform, but not the package they are currently trying to pass.
