Stop the government takeover of health care. I think we can all agree that the system needs some serious reforms. I do not believe government control or intervention is the proper method to correct the system. Putting politics and government bureaucrats in charge of my health care is a bad idea.
Just look at postal service, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and every other government run system that's in effect; all are drowning in debt that we cannot afford. Should we provide help to those who are in need? Absolutely, but the plan being acted upon is not right. Right now in Florida, taxpayers are spending about $165 million to provide healthcare to illegal aliens, is that good use of your hard earned tax money? Call your elected representative and tell them to vote "no" on government health care reform.
