DNC issues memo on protesters


The DNC issues a memo labeling protesters “extreme” and “thuggish”. The memo shares 5 key points:
1. “These disruptions are being funded and organized by out-of-district special-interest groups and insurance companies…”
2. "People are scared because they are being fed frightening lies."
3. "Their actions are getting more extreme."
4. "Their goal is to disrupt and shut down legitimate conversation."
5. "Republican leadership is irresponsibly cheering on the thuggish crowds."
I have some simple questions for healthcare reformists:
1. Why is congress exempt from this program?
2. What's the big hurry?
3. Isn't it better to get it right than to rush it through?
4. Why are you attacking those who are against it?
5. Considering past government programs, do you think opponents have valid fears?
I invite you, to feel free to add to the list of questions...

By the way, I happen to believe that one of the many reasons healthcare is so expensive in the US is because the people who pay the hospitals and doctors are ALREADY PAYING FOR those who don't or can't... it's called overhead and it's passed along to the paying consumer, just like taxes...but I wouldn't expect a career politician to relate to real life business!

but I could be wrong,

Health care costs are rising, because it is a growth industry.

Each year, new and better treatments are developed for just about any condition. This is a good thing.

Think of all the things that have been developed in the last fifty years. Folks regularly died of heart disease and cancer, but also such simple things as infections.

We now have Cscans, MRIs, etc, etc, etc; a multitude of tests, in order to diagnose almost any condition.

Does anyone REALLY think costs of health care would not skyrocket with this plethora of new and better testing and treatment options?

The simple fact is, each American should be able to decide what level, if any, of health care he or she wishes. It should NOT be up to Big Brother to decide.

Therefore, I do not have any questions for government reps. I have a statement:

STAY OUT OF MY LIFE!!!
