“As the vote on health insurance reform approaches, I've become increasingly troubled at the things that this bill fails to do. Despite claims to the contrary, the Democrat bill fails to decrease health care costs. We keep hearing about how people are being cost out of the market; they can't afford their health care, but it does not decrease health care costs. In fact, the bill would increase the cost of health care in the form of higher premiums and exorbitant new taxes on families. Furthermore, it will not prevent funds from going to illegal aliens or abortions. So that's what it doesn't do. What does it do? Well, this legislation will make sure the American people are more addicted to socialism because we will be more dependent on the Federal bureaucracy. What it will do is create a $1 trillion new program, even when we can't afford the current programs. Well, what we need to do is to make sure that we come up with a list of reforms that is a bipartisan list.”
