The health care debate is front and center of the news, and is stirring up people who have never been politically active in their life. Despite a concerted effort by the President and Democrats in Congress, the American people just don't seem to be buying it. And that's a good thing, as a government take-over of health care is the most Anti-American proposal the Democrats have put forth yet.

The far left is painting the health care debate as something that will "level the playing field," and are suggesting that anyone who opposes the health care bill is either selfish (because they don't want to provide health care for all), a paid shill (because the opposition is not a real grass-roots opposition, it is being organized and paid for by special interests), or is making their decision on misinformation spread by special interests who oppose the idea.

I will be blogging on this in future posts, because if I tried to frame all my arguments against this bill, and in defense of those who oppose it, would take many many pages and result in blog post longer than the health care bill itself.

I would like to bring up one thing now that no one seems to be saying as of yet. The administration cloaks the health care reform as being good for all Americans, and if it was done right, it could be. But the government should be left out of it. What happens if the government takes over health care? All the money that currently goes to private insurance companies will now be funneled through the government. Trillions of dollars. It's the ultimate tax and spend situation, so much so that the very thought of it is like pornography for progressives.
