Pay More. Get Less. Wait Longer.

The Senate is having a vote today, currently scheduled at 8pm, to see if they’ll proceed on debating the Disastercare bill.  They’ve been buying off fence-sitters left and right, and the tactic here is to get the ball rolling on the bill before everyone goes home and gets blasted by their constituents.  That nearly worked in the House, but Speaker Botox was more scary than the constituents a lot of Democrats betrayed with their vote on this monster.

I don’t care how they spin it.  Anyone who did anything to let this bill go forward will be at fault if it becomes law.  That includes the mislabeled Democrats in the Republican Party who helped it along, like Snowe.

I could go through the lengthy list of what this power grab will do if it passes, but its effect on health care in this country can be summed up in six words:

Pay more.  Get less.  Wait longer.

We’ve seen this in Massachusetts.  We’ve seen it in other countries with nationalized health care.  If we don’t defeat this bill, we’ll see it here too.  Rationed, lower quality health care that costs more so that the Democrats can have their power grab and Obama his giant legislative “accomplishment”.  All assertions to any benevolent intentions supporters may make to the contrary are just spin.  This bill is bad for America and for you.
