The big vote is tomorrow

There will be a vote tomorrow on wether to even open debate on the health care bill. Reid needs 60 to vote in favor to even open it up for discussion. Do you think he can get them? I hope not. Why? Well because of some of the things in the bill. Like: 1. IT would make it mandatory for EVERYONE to buy health insurance. If you don't you get fined. "The bill would require individuals to buy health insurance, with a fine for non-compliance of $95 in the first year that would escalate to $750 by 2016" This was put in to make the insurance company lobbyists happy. If everyone is required to have it....think of all the money they will make. Tons of it. Pay day for the insurance companies. Nice to know that all the money they threw at our elected officals worked and take more money out of our pockets and into theirs.So either buy their plans or now you are a criminal. The insurance companies would then have the government as their "muscle" to make you pay up. 2. The bill includes a 5% tax increase on the cost of "elective cosmetic surgery". Why it is their job to pay higher taxes on their surgury to pay for everyone elses medical care? Simply put....its not. 3. The bill includes a range of tax increases and new fees. The Medicare payroll tax on individuals earning $200,000 a year and couples earning $250,000 a year would increase by half a percentage point, from the current 1.45 percent to 1.95 percent. In addition, insurers providing costly health coverage -- known as "Cadillac" plans -- would face a 40 percent tax on policies worth more than $8,500 for individuals and $23,000 for families. Yep you heard that right 40 PERCENT tax on their plans. That is outragous. If they put a 40% tax on milk you would see everyone up in arms. Or 40% on just about anything that MOST poeple use you would see them up in arms. How about a 40% tax when you buy a car? THis is beyond rediculous. I know this is long. Thanks for sticking with me. There is tons wrong with THIS bill. This is just a few of them. SOrry I can't add them all or we would be here all day and this post would be a monster. So given the problems with this bill, do you support it? Is it going to get it 60 votes to open the discussion? Are you going to call your elected officials and tell them to vote NO tomorrow morning? If so the time is now.....
