Deep Breaths...

     I've been putting this post off for a few days now because I wanted to give myself a chance to cool off a little bit.  As it turns out, I didn't.  


    Remember when Obama was running for office, and he kept telling us how he couldn't be successful if he only appealed to the Democrats, and how badly the nation needed to be united in cause, apparently implying that he was the man for the job? Well he definitely appealed to both parties when ZERO Republicans voted for his health care bill.  Not only that, but he lost 34 of his own party's votes.  


    This bill is going to affect everything from now on.  Really, everything.  Everybody living in America is going to experience serious repercussions, whether its small business owners, pre-med students, heart patients, expectant mothers, everyone will feel the ill-effects of the health care bill.  


   Small tangent: If I see anyone else on facebook saying that they are glad the health care bill passed because now people won't call them lazy for not having insurance??? This is your reason for celebration? Now that the quality of health care in America is going to dangerously decrease, let's see how celebratory you are when you need an emergency open heart surgery.  


    That WAS why America was so great.  When have you ever heard anyone say "I need to have life-saving surgery, I'm going to go to Canada."  A girl on facebook really said to me "why are you so mad? Other countries with socialized health care are doing great, you don't see them complaining." I'm sorry, other countries with socialized health care are doing great?? That's news to me considering how many people COME to AMERICA to get surgery or receive treatment! When is the last time we've celebrated Finland for their amazing medical advances? 


    I can't believe how terrible this bill is.  Just judging by how quickly so many states have filed lawsuits against the United States Government may just be a small indicator about how we as a people feel about this.  Hopefully the cases will make it to the Supreme Court, but still, who knows what will happen?  Even if the Republicans get control of Congress in November and repeal it, then Obama is not going to sign off on it, and we'll need a 2/3 majority to really get rid of it.  Everybody pray hard. 


    I'm so frustrated with the people who voted for change.  Well at least he was true to his word right?
