So far there are as many myths, or at least semi-truths, about the president's Health Care Reform circulating as there are facts. You can go to numerous websites, listen to conservative (which I happen to be) commentaries, or even the news media and read or hear dozens of them:
Euthanasia committees, no option to keep your private health care plan, how it will be paid for, rationing of care, government access to private account records of those participating in the plan, and on and on.
What's really troubling about all the hype is that so far there hasn't been any single autoritative source to either quiet the rumors or confirm them, AND back it up with the actual reference in the bill. And to read the nearly 1,000 page document would require nothing less than a law degree to really understand the legalese in which it is written.
If the president is convinced that this health care reform is needed, then he should stand before this country and with the document in hand, prove or disprove each and every concern, citing the page and paragraph to back his claims, so that we may then read it and understand it for ourselves.
I'm not even sure he's read the bill he's trying so hard to push.
Until and unless that happens, there is NO WAY that anyone should support the reform.
Would you sign a contract that you didn't understand? If so, go ahead and support the bill. As for me, I kinda like knowing what I'm getting into.
