President Obama’s Health Care Bill: Is It a Government Takeover Plan?

It worries me that many in America are blindly buying into everything that President Obama is pushing when it is obvious to many with common sense and who educate themselves with credible facts, that he seems to have no idea what he is doing, or if he does, has a hidden agenda. There is a wrong way and a right to govern in America. The right way is to listen to the people and work to get a consensus. The wrong way is to relegate those who speak their opinions against government control as mobs, brown shirts and conservative extremists.

Many of Obama’s supporters have never experienced hard times and live with a false sense of security. They have no idea that governments can fall overnight without anyone firing a shot. Most are young and feel that America’s health care programs, including medicare and medicaid are issues that do not affect them. So the argument that Obama wants to take complete control over them is not anything that worries these followers. Unfortunately, everyone gets old and reality will set in someday. These followers are mesmerized by Obama’s elegant speaking skills, his youth and attractiveness. It’s called “blind faith.”

Then there are those who believe the government should take care of them, from providing them with homes, health care to cars and the like at little to no cost. Many – not all – think they should not have to exert much effort in getting whatever they can get for free.

I faught a war for my country and have worked hard to try to secure comfort and security in my life and am proud to be an American, but ashamed that we have a president opologizing to our enemies for America’s past efforts. It worries me that many in America are blindly buying into everything that Obama is pushing when it is obvious to many with common sense and who strive to educate themselves with credible facts, that he seems to have no idea what he is doing, or if he does, has a hidden agenda. Many democrats and liberals will argue that those who argue against the proposed government health care bill are recists because they are not going along with Obama.  I don’t care what color or gender my president is, I will support someone who can properly lead, based on the principles of our constitution. My suggestion is that the American people better wake up before our country is destroyed from within.

    Why is it, then, that the more educated people support the President’s plan?
