I can't believe that despite overwhelming opposition to socializing a huge percentage of our national economy, the government went ahead and passed the health care bill anyway! After really, really, really obvious signs from the people, including the Senate votes in New Jersey, Virginia and even Massachusetts, the government went and rammed through that bill! I disagree with this decision for a few reasons.
- It was majorly disrespectful to the people of the United States to force legislation on us that we so clearly do NOT want.
- It was unconstitutional; there is nothing in the Constitution that allows the government to force citizens to buy a product, nor to take over such a fraction of our economy.
- The government is in serious debt, and they just passed a bill committing it to billions of extra spending. Who's going to pay for it? That's right - We The People of the U.S. The ones who said we didn't want this bill.
- I also believe that this decision will be disasterous to healthcare for the overall healthcare in America, and that it will make health care less accessible to many, and decrease the desirability of a career in medicine.
I think I'll leave the last word to The Onion for this...
