The number greatly being thrown around is that there are 45 million Americans without health insurance. Let's examine that. Of that 45 million, about half are young adults who have consciously decided they don't want health insurance. About 10-11 million are people here illegally. Another portion is people who are between jobs and will have coverage within the next 30-60 days. Yet another portion are children who were pulled off of their parent's policies to be put on a state sponsored policy. That leaves about 10 million Americans who are uninsured. The flip side is that 290 million are insured (or fall into one of the categories above).

So let me get this straight...the administration wants to turn our health care system upside down for approximately 3% of the population?

There is absolutely no logic at all to doing that. Not to mention the fact that most...if not all...major government run organizations are on the verge of bankruptcy: Fannie and Freddie, the Postal Service, Medicare, Social Security...to name a few. It is obvious that the answer is not more government control. Do you want the government to decide if you can give birth in a hospital or not? Do you want the government to decide if you can get timely treatment for cancer?

Another lie we are supposed to swallow in this debate is that government run health care will not add to a deficit that has already been quadrupled in the last year!

The disregard by the administration, the senators and the congressmen and women of what the American people want is outrageous. That band of liars has definitely forgotten who they serve...they work for US!
