The media tends to inflate and sensationalize everything it does, often in pushing a personal agenda. You cannot believe that every Democrat and every Republican is a particular way because of what you see on TV or from a Youtube video.
I do not have anything personal against President Obama, and I realize that there are a lot of things working against him. However, I am against the growing of our Federal Government.
I am an Independent and have never been a member of a political party. I have friends from different backgrounds and we can learn from each other without being hateful and using derogatory names. I actually like the Governor of my state, who is a Democrat. He has done a great job and was instrumental in bringing more health care solutions to our state. In my opinion, the state and the local governments know a little better of what its citizens need than the Federal Government does.
My main objection is having more intrusion on my personal liberty on things that the Federal Government has no business doing in the first place. If I would like to purchase health insurance, that should be my choice through my employer or from another company. Moreover, I would like to see market reforms in place so that there is more competition and prices could be better negotiated. Do we really want the IRS, the Secretary of Health and Human Services and other agencies involved in our health care? I had mentioned this last year, but one group that will be exempt from this law will be the Amish. They do not pay for health insurance and generally do just fine. The average citizen may not agree with their lifestyle, but perhaps there is a lesson there somewhere. And as I told another poster when I originally posted it: no, I'm not moving to Lancaster to join the Amish. As free citizens, we should not have to join a special group or move to a deserted island (as was suggested in another recent thread) just to be a free citizen.
To sum it up, I try to have an open mind and listen to everyone's views. I may not have voted for President Obama but he was the choice that was made and we must move on from all the bitterness. This does not mean that we should ignore something that we find objectionable. Perhaps the approach of some is a little out there and does not make sense, but we all need to work together in all this.
The IRS is not looking through your medical records. They are in your business now ANYWAY by snooping around looking in banks accounts and seeing what you withdraw that doesn't add up right. They come after you if you scam them. Stay out of legal trouble... its that simple. Its collecting a small tax of 2% and it may be where people who make under 250,000 are exempt fully which means most of us. There are still medical laws to protect your privacy and the government wouldn't have permission to your medical records unless they were pretty sure you committed some kind of murder or possibly a rape when a child says he was raped and contracted HIV by you and you obviously did it because your DNA was found in his ass right after he cried and told.
My medical records are still personal and would be kept between me and the doctor/hospital and the government just pays funds towards the hospital and manages it. No need for long waits at the doctor's office as conservatives will tell you about Canada and the UK.. There would be a need for more doctors and nurses since more can get treatment... more clinics will be built and the purpose of medicine won't be about $... only about helping the people! TO KEEP US ALIVE AND STRONG.
A Man cried with a sign begging the country he loves so much to save his life and that he was dying and people gave him dirty looks shouting "You're not getting a free lunch here get it somewhere ELSE!!!" It was just cold and harsh... that people could turn someone away like that and not think their life has no value? Is that what we've come down to? Fucking heartless because we pay 2 dollars for every hundred... even if people like me under 250000 even get effected at all? For that small price that pays for something more valuable to treat our citizens with a chance to survive? For Companies to save funds and not pay insurances but a small tax increase of 2%?
