Health Care Reform

I am tired of the term "Health care Reform". What is that supposed to mean? What are we going to reform? We have the best health care system in the world. Is health care reform going to cost us less? The current plan for health care reform in the administration is going to cost taxpayers $1.5 trillion. How much does the current system cost taxpayers? How about nothing. It is paid for by you personally, not with by taxing you more.

In order to try to cover costs for the plan the administration is considering levying taxes on items the "government" has determined are unhealthy for you. Do you really want the government deciding what is good for you or not? Are you willing to pay extra taxes on alcohol, or soft drinks? How about when they decide fast food should have more tax because they think it is unhealthy? I bet if the media started telling America that the government is about to add significant taxes to alcohol there would be such an uprising against "health care reform"or public health care that it would have strong resistance.

It the government can decide what you should and should not eat, they will certainly decide what medical treatment you need.
