As bits and pieces of this abomination called health care reform filtered out into the light of day, it became obvious that the big rush for it was to make it law before people learned too much about it. Public was wary ..... but

One by one, major industries, organizations, commercial interprises, began to endorse it - even though it is NOT in their best interest. Why? I really do believe that is what broke the citizens' backs.
1. Our elected officials were not representing us.
2. Our courts refused to help in any way.
3. The media was shilling for the socialization of medical care.
4. And then finally the big buys in business caved in.
5. We knew then that it was we, the public, who had to jam the brakes on, or allow this abomination of a bill to go through.
6. The real kicker is that it surprised our elected officials that we would actually refuse to lie down on the road to be run over. These people in DC are dumb-founded to say the least. -

"Obama is now on the wrong side of a genuine grass-roots revolt by people who feel ignored by everyone who is supposed to be representing them. Consider the AARP."

I'm a "senior" who belonged to AARP for a few years, was pleased to find a much better deal for truck insurance via Hartford.
But AARP, in doing it's job as perceived by AARP, also pushed for governmental rules to give a disparate advantage to seniors, to be paid for by stealing from others.
So when even AARP isn't buying this Obamacare redistribution-by-force scheme, that serves as a good clue to the citizens.
We don't need reform, but we do need Congress to be honest enough to fix the wrongs within unfunded Medicare/Medicaid. That will in itself be a rude awakening about the true costs of collectivism in terms of Liberty. -

The Democrats thought that they could sneak the health care "reform" through without revealing the dirty little details - but that won't happen now. People showing up at townhalls want answers, not spin.

Expand coverage and lower costs without sacrificing quality and availability of medical care - it just doesn't add up, and everyone knows it. The goal of the Democrats is to take over health care from the "greedy" private sector, not to save money or improve service. If they succeed, expect a medical care system as efficient as the Post Office and as compassionate as the IRS.
