Everything is on the table

When you hear these words from a politician, "Everything is on the table", better hold onto the wallet. That means anything and everything they can do to get money from taxpayers to pay for whatever kind of boondoggle they have written is on the table. So tonight we have the ALL BARACK CHANNEL having a infomercial to Obama's Health Care plan, or should we sat the destruction of the US Health Care system as we know it now. All this along with a faultering economy, we are going to destroy the best Health Care system for what???? Obama says to helpe the economy and lower the cost of Health Care. Maybe in an alternate universe. We will have Socialized health Care like Canada and the UK, where if they need some kind of surgery, they come to the US instead of waiting for years for a time to get into the operating room. The Horror stories of the old or obese being denied care bacuse it is not in the Government's bottom line is amazing. And we want to force this on the American Public without any kind of debate or even reading the whole thing before having the chosen ones voting for this, it atrocious. I remember on a cruise with my dad when I was in High School, we were paired up with a doctor from Canada and he had some amazing stories of the abominable care that Canada had and how many doctors left or quit because of the Government run Health Care system.
