Current health care bill that is proposed for all Americans

There is no question why everyone has an opinion on the current health care bill that is proposed for all Americans.

Yes there are people that cannot afford health insurance; but is not 47 million or 57 million that congress and the “talking heads” claim. Let’s be realistic. There are people between 28 and 35 that can afford health insurance premiums; but, chose not to buy it.  Subtract out approximately 20 million people form this group. Now there are 10 to 20 million illegal’s according to some sources also in the total mix. Subtract the illegals from this BIG NUMBER. That leaves a hard-core 20 million plus of minus that need health insurance. These are the people that should be helped.

The government’s proper role is to subsidize those that cannot afford health insurance.  The government should not create a stat-run market that will limit competition, inflate costs and prevent innovation.  Over 80% of us who have employer group health plans or individual plans like what we have and fear what the “fed” will created.  WE wish to be in control and want to choose the most affordable plan(s) for ourselves, our families and our business’s.
