Obama and his greedy administration are all living in a 'dream world!' Taxpayers hope they come back to earth, shortly, and eliminate and cut everything in government, including politicians. Common sense tells everyone that Americans are going to have to go back to the 'PAY AS YOU GO' for everything, including healthcare and medicine! Taxpayers need to seek out a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer to run this country like a business before it's too late. It's a known fact the politicians have entirely too much time on their hands and this, Folks, has put America into bankruptcy!

'Pair ready to tackle health care overhaul', states Ms. Sebelius and Ms. DeParle! Why haven't they already 'overhauled' this system! They've been around the DC block a time or two! Taxpayers say 'thanks, but no thanks!' These seasoned politicians know it won't work. They have too much time on their hands. It's obvious this led Freddie, Fannie, HUD, AIG, Automakers, and anyone else taking Taxpayers' money, for endless money pits, into
bankruptcy!

It's time to go back to the 'pay as you go' for doctors and hospitals! 'Fair Tax', to include property, should be top priority! Everyone must pay their share, including politicians! Otherwise, it's 'Discrimination against Taxpayers!'

Politicians salaries and retirements should be cut to $12,000.00 yearly! If this isn't acceptable, then Taxpayers will sell them a one-way ticket to the foreign country they sold America to, take assets to pay the trillions they've
borrowed without Taxpayers' consent! After bankrupting America, these are the only options; unless, of course, they prefer to be sent to Guantanamoas some politicians are no better than the ones sitting in prisons; therefore,
along with rest of killers, rapists, and thieves, of all races, this is where they need to be!

"Putting the cart before the horse"! When politicians took over, the Moonshiners' stills, for the revenue of course, started bottling, selling the booze, locking you up for drinking it, and furnishing a tax-paid attorney, clothes, medicine, and food. Exorbitant costs and an endless money pit for Taxpayers, wouldn't you say? Politicians, now, want to build infrastructures without having textile and manufacturing jobs in America!
Another 'Cart before the horse' hair-brained scheme!

Taxpayers want Obama to live up to his stated 'he'd go over line by line and eliminate the endless money pits!' Well, what's he waiting for?

Having just returned from a trip to Europe, it strikes me that all those who wish to minic the "grand" system of European and Canadian health care should do some homework before committing the US to such a system. In the "Irish Examiner" (Cork, Ireland), June 15, 2009, pg. 22, there is a "rate of tax,levy, health contribution and PRSI payable with effect as of May 1 this year". These rates are for a single person, and in Euro, which I will convert as $1.40 = 1 Euro.

Oh, and did I mention that auto licensing and insurance is very expensive? And that VAT (value added tax) is added to almost everything that one uses on a daily basis...16%!! And that almost everyone has PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE in order, as my friend explained," to be at the head of the line and not to be at the end of a very long line for anything...tests, going into hospital, procedures, etc. The line may take months!" Oh, and did I mention that due to physicians and nurses being unionized, "help when one is in hospital over a weekend or holiday is non-existant", again according to my Irish friend.
When we lived in Buffalo, NY some years ago, our hospitals in Buffalo were filled with patients from Canada, who didn't want to wait for months for tests, procedures and other medical interventions. They flocked to the US and paid their bills themselves.
Yes, my friends, we have improvements to be made in how our health care is paid for, but placing the government in charge of monitoring and delivery of health care is not prudent or wise. I fear government intervention, and see a "medical czar" looming on Obama's horizon. Let our voices be heard...........NOW!
