I don't trust the government one bit.
Would you trust a government that was screwing you over at every turn?
My biggest issue with health care reform is that the U.S. is in a huge deficit. We cannot afford these things. The first thing we need to do is get out of debt and we aren't going to do that by passing Health Care Reform that will cost us billions of dollars that we simply do not have. I may not have any sort of degree in economics or what not, but I think it's just common sense to say that if you don't have the money don't spend it.
I cannot wait to get out of this country.

So the only option is no health care or more debt? I've got an idea, why don't we fix health care and cut the military budget to make up for the cost?
Shit, Congress is trying to force 18 extra F22 fighters, planes that haven't flown a single mission in either Iraq or Afghanistan, that the military says they don't want. These planes cost like $250 million each and the upkeep on them is expensive as hell. I'm sure we could dig through the military budget and find tons of wasted money to use for health care.
