The whole Healthcare bill does nothing to reduce healthcare cost; it increases the cost to healthcare. The middle class is going to be hit hard with new taxes to pay for this government-run healthcare. This Healthcare bill is just an expansion of government and control of one sixth of the economy. There are three major areas that would cut the cost of Healthcare. First, Tort Reform to help fight frivolous law suits. Second, portability would give consumers the ability to purchase a healthcare policy across state lines. Third, empowerment to the consumer and doctor, giving payment control to the consumer through Medical Savings Accounts, and giving the doctors the power to treat patients without government restrictions. These are the real key issues to create higher quality Healthcare and reduce cost, yet none of these cost reduction issues are in any of the Democratic Healthcare bills.

This is one of the saddest days in History now that the House has just past one of the worst bills in Congress. . . . It is not over yet; we still a great fight waiting in the U.S. SENATE to battle.  There are still many on the sidelines that better wake up and join me and the Tea Party movement to STOP this Health Care bill in the U.S. SENATE. For all the House members that voted for HR 3962, the “Countdown to Judgment Day” is coming too you in 2010.
