Hey, I’m the first to admit that I’m in absolute overwhelm about this healthcare business. It’s not that I can’t sort out the facts from the fiction..or maybe that’s just the problem.

The republicans tell us we’re selling ourselves down the river to big government…and we’ll have a deeply flawed health care system….maybe the people who have good health care now will end up having to settle for the watered down socialist version…no, not good for the rich.

Meanwhile it seems like the democrats would have us think that our very existence rests on instituting national health care…maybe their existence does..….and of course, do it now! Not next week, not next month…NOW…and don’t even bother reading the bill; just sign the sucker.

You don’t have to be a genius to figure out that a nationally subsidized healthcare system that has doctors making a Mercedes payment for just looking in your mouth is going to shipwreck the economy in no time.

Does citizenship come with a government’s responsibility to care for the health and welfare of each of its citizens? Honestly, I don’t know. I think I’m just kind of hanging out waiting to see if the democrats losing hold of Kennedy’s senate seat is going to create a whole new scenario in Washington. Maybe that’ll sink the deal, or at least change it to make it palatable for both sides of the aisle.

What should it be? What will it be? And What will it mean to me and the people I care about?

I’m waiting….
