House Health Care Vote This Saturday

Posted by Jeff Dircksen - November 05, 2009

From AP:
The second-ranking House Democrat predicted that historic health care legislation will be passed Saturday, extending coverage to tens of millions of uninsured and banning the industry from turning people away.

Rep. Steny Hoyer told reporters House leaders would have the 218 votes needed to pass the sweeping bill that President Barack Obama has made the defining social goal of his young administration — presuming a couple of final issues are resolved. Hoyer acknowledged that the vote could be tight.
Time is running out! If you have not expressed your opposition to your Members of Congress, now is the time to do so.

I beleive that goverment run health care
means only one thing for me.
The Middle Class. HIGHER COST/TAXES & LESS BENEFITS.

We will be paying for people that are only taking out and not putting anything in.

Alot of these that are not working that and could be.

But why work if someone is going to pay your housing, food and now health care.

Where does it say that our goverment is responsible for our health care.

I also beleive that our federal goverment does a very poor job at running big business.

I will vote against anyone that votes for a goverment run health care plan of any kind.
