What’s Taking Shape In Washington, D.C. For Our Health Care Insurance Future
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
Before President Obama appears on our television screens again to further tell us what he has in mind for making his vision of government happen for our benefit, this article in the Washington Post shed some more light on the power playing itself out behind the scenes. I would be the last to suggest that it is the final word or more comprehensive explanation, but it does offer some very solid details that would be worth monitoring for going forward in the continuing saga of bringing about socialized medicine for the United States – first through the process of a system which pays for all health care services/products that government determines us worthy of having and then in the form of Big Brother taking over the actual distribution of the services/products that we will be permitted to have.
A couple of points in the Washington Post story came through as being very key concepts at the heart of the problems U.S. Senators (even those who believe they ought to do to us what they are planning to do to us) are having…
I can’t say that I’m honestly looking forward to the blah, blah, blah of the debate that is still to come before those who are elected to be our representatives do whatever they are going to do to us. I’m certainly not looking forward to the publicity core (I mean the public news media) for President Obama telling us what the President is going to tell us when he comes on TV and then telling us what he told us when he’s done. I’m not looking forward to the hundreds of more times that President Obama is going to be on our TV sets in the coming weeks…
I am looking forward to the 2010 election however and I’m hoping that when we as citizens have the chance to have our say, (with the forum which provides that somebody actually will hear us) that we will bring about the real changes that are needed and get rid of those in our government who are now contemplating doing to us what they ought not be considering or doing.

- The darn wonderful thing they want to enact is going to costs a lot more than they think that they might be able to get away with (which says a lot about how much the darn thing costs); and,
- The idea that the government plan being considered has to include a requirement clause in it (forcing us, by law to have insurance – or else) strikes me as being something less than us living in a free country sort of thing;
