Yes! We are tired of reading proposed legislation that requires legal interpretation, especially the rambling idiocy of HR 3200 and 1000+ pages. At least the proposed health care legislation by Senator Max Baucus is only about 230 pages (Use the link below.) Don't jump for joy. All the interpretation and arguments are yet to come and I suspect even more nonsense. It's dubbed "America's Healthy Future Act of 2009."

One thing this bill does prove is that "there is no such thing as a free lunch" and certainly not free health care. The first ten year estimate is $856 billion. And the cost is all ours. (Read the full text of the Baucus bill). Posted by The New York Times.

The experts are already saying that insurance companies will be heavily taxed. And who are they kidding? That's a pass-along expense. Individuals will be taxed for all sorts of reasons — if you have coverage. If you don't have coverage. If you have really good coverage. If you don't want coverage. By taxing and penalizing us for anything and everything, and forcing insurance companies to adhere to rules that dictate kinds of coverage, you basically have a government take-over of the insurance industry and our health care as well.

There is some progress in that illegal aliens are not covered and neither is abortion, but we shall see. It has reached the point where a fine tooth comb can't even find the truth in these documents. Of course, once something like this starts winding its way through Congress, amendments can change everything.

Remember, this evolved from a gang of six members of the Senate, supposedly three Democrats and three Republicans. It is hardly a fair group considering that Olympia Snowe is one of them, the so-called Republican who seems to enjoy casting liberal votes. 

Excessive taxation and penalties imposed by government can force government control of just about anything. So let's do the homework, listen to the pros and cons, consider all aspects and then draw our own grass roots conclusions.
