I find myself agreeing more with those at Fox news than MSNBC about health care reform.  I do believe that everyone should have affordable health care available to them.  But at what cost?

Why do those in the ruling party have to make exclusive deals to get this done?  The folks in Louisiana and Nebraska get special consideration over residents of other states to achieve this reform.  Why?  If it doesn't stand on it's own merits than maybe it deserves more scrutiny.  Unfortunately, many who are close to me really don't care that much about it.  Alot of apathy.  This may be the reason the Democrats can do what they are doing.

Again, I believe that we should all have access to the best health care available.  But should health care insurance be required?  And what does that mean?  If I am having difficulty paying my mortgage, the government is going to fine me if I can't afford premiums?The maximum fine would be about 180 dollars a month.  Insurance for my family currently costs about $1350.00.  A big difference between the two.  So if I can't afford coverage for my family, I get fined to help cover some one else.  Perhaps an illegal immigrant.  Perhaps a non-working wealthfare recipient.  Doesn't seem right.  But maybe it's the only way for everyone to get health care. 

Tomorrow is Christmas.  Merry Christmas to all!  We'll visit health care again Saturday.  If anyone is listening, write me back!
