I have recently experienced the joy of my free overdraft protection. Yes I must never have read the fine print. You see each usage is nearly 30.00 and when you add it up 13 lovely uses costs an arm and a leg, but hey it was free!
Now lets talk about our brand new free health care. Free health care when the government already reimburses Medicare at less than the cost on many procedures means doctors will take a cut in pay.
If you look closely at information, about 30% of the primary care doctors in America will consider leaving the medical profession. That bit of brightness comes from a survey published by the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine. According to the Medicus Firm, which interviewed more than a thousand American physicians, 55% of them believed that the quality of medical care in America would decline if the Democrats pass the present health care reform proposals. And, apparently, many of them want no part of it.
So what is the cost, only about trillions of dollars. With a shortage in doctors, nurses, and health care professionals you may wait for routine procedures just like they do in Canada and other socialist countries, but don't take my word for it look at what those who have experienced it have to say:

Depending upon which estimate one accepts, the Obama program is projected to cost between $1 trillion and $1.5 trillion during the first ten years of operation. That works out to an average annual cost of $100 billion to $150 billion, or somewhere between $274 million and $411 million a day.
One thing we learned from the Medicare experience is that the original estimates of radical new government programs are vastly understated because of government’s inability to control program costs and the impossibility of imposing price controls (by whatever name) on an entire economy-wide industry. At its inception in 1966, Medicare cost $3 billion a year. At that time, the Ways and Means Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives projected “conservatively” that the program would cost approximately $12 billion a year by 1990. In 1990, the cost of Medicare was actually $107 billion — nine times greater than the Ways and Means estimate.
So lets look at what the cost out of your pocket is:
According to the CBO, by 2016, the cheapest family health care plan that Americans will be required to buy under the law will cost $12,000 per year. The average family plan will cost $15,200. A family of four making $88,201 per year—or more than 400 percent of the poverty level—will not receive any federal subsidy to purchase such a plan. They will pay taxes, however, to subsidize the health care purchases of people earning less than 400 percent of poverty.
Can you afford to pay higher taxes and nearly 12,000 per year out of pocket to insure yourself. Guess what you don't have a choice. Free health care means everybody has to have it. One plan for all Americans and one giant price tag. Sure you won't get to use the benefits because of the waiting list but hey its free. A 1017 page plan with lots of fine print hidden along the way. Fine print that someone forgot to read!
We supposedly live in a democratic republic. A country where we the people are represented by elected officials, and yet polls show that 52% of Americans don't want the reform. Last time I checked majority was 50%. Who represented the majority on this issue?
Lastly, this plan covers abortion. Plain and simple your tax dollars will fund it. Every time I pay my taxes I will be murdering unborn children, every pay check will have a little itemized deduction for this. Sure it will be all in the name of free health care, but how many amazing people will die because I pay my taxes!
Picture these scenarios:
A. The mother of a family of 14 is pregnant again. Her husband — the father of all 14 of these children — has a history of alcohol abuse and mental disorders which frequently causes him to abuse his other children. The mother herself is already worn out from trying to care single-handedly for her large family and doesn't feel she can care for another child at this point. On top of all this, two sons in the family also have a history of alcohol abuse, one of the children is in a mental institution, and none of the other children have steady, dependable jobs with which to support mom and dad. Abortion or Not?
B. A poor black family in the South is expecting a fifth child. This family, because of its skin color, already has difficulty receiving help and are already at the bare minimum poverty level. The outlook for their present children does not look bright. Abortion or Not?
C. A woman is engaged to a man some years older than she; she finds out that she is facing an unplanned pregnancy. The child she is carrying is definitely not the son of her fiancé, and he is worried for her sake and for their repution in their community. This child could put a serious strain on their relationship and on any future children. Abortion or Not?
Okay, everybody finished? Here are the results:
A. If you answered Abortion for A, congratulations! You just aborted Ludwig Van Beethoven!
B. If you answered Abortion for B, again, congratulations! You just aborted Martin Luther King, Jr.
C. If you answered Abortion for C, YOU WIN THE GRAND PRIZE! You, my friend, have just aborted Jesus of Nazareth.
Ephesians 2:8-10
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
However if you read the fine print on grace you find that Jesus died so that you might be saved. What will Obama sacrifice so I can have free health care? Will he even subscribe to my wonderful free plan? We all know the answer to that.................................
