Health Care/Insurance Reform, Consequences?

I’ve been sitting back watching the debacle of this so called reform bill and have been wondering what the consequences will be. I think we are starting to see the big sales job and a lot of intimidation from our government. I would like to think that Henry Waxman is calling the CEO’s in to see where the Congress went wrong with their numbers, but I am more suspicious of him than that. I really think he is going to challenge them. The Administration is already saying that it is just a bunch of Republican CEO’s trying to scare the American people. While it seems that all but one of the CEO’s is a Republican it is also true, that by law they must report the financial impact of any legislation to their bottom line. If they don’t then the FTC is all over them and they risk a legal situation and fines. I think the effects of this bill are going to be far reaching and will impact American business and the average person in extremely negative way.

This Administration and the leadership in Congress have put into effect a law that by all accounts is going to be very costly. I’ve been against this bill from the beginning simply because I believe the cost of entitlements are way to high, have a tendency to grow exponentially over time and once in place are almost never repealed or replace. When the full effect of this bill is felt several years from now people will be surprised at how it will affect the bottom line of their own budgets.

I don’t believe for one minute this bill will be repealed, we are going to have health care reform and will see the consequences of rushing a bad bill through the legislative process on a straight party line vote. I also believe their success will cause them to push several other big ticket bills through in the same manner further increasing the deficit and the debt. Representative Charles Gonzales of the 20th district in San Antonio TX. tells me this is a mortgage he is willing to live with, well it’s easy to incur debt with other peoples money.

I guess we will just have to wait and see who is right about the effects and benefits of this bill. I suspect it will not improve the health care delivery system nor lower costs for the average American.
