The current "healthcare bill" proposes the biggest increase of Federal control since FDR. It will cost each of us thousands annually, and is unprecedented in requiring Americans to buy something which should be optional and voluntary: this is a statist theft of liberty, and is patently unconstitutional.
The bill’s proponents claim they want to help uninsured millions who are "denied" care, but I myself am uninsured and recently received excellent care for a back injury at MUSC in Charleston. The hospital's private charity covered 95% of my cost, and my friends, family, and church community helped with living expenses until I returned to work. This kind of private solution is what Americans need, not government interference and control. I am healthy and rarely visit a doctor; I don't want to be forced to buy insurance, wasting a percentage of my income to effectively pay for sick people for whom I am not responsible. It is more efficient for me to pay out of pocket and be helped by my private community. Let the private sector work; more government bureaucracy is the last thing we need. This disastrous bill will only further bankrupt America.
