Why rush health care?

Hi

Today I am going to express my concern about why the Obama administration is so fiercely pushing health care reform. Am I the only one who questions how a congress made up of 535 members can pass a 2000 page bill within a few days? Why not have the bill studied and examined as to coverage, cost and the effect on the economy? What's the rush.

Of course my hope is that they let the American people have the freedom to pick their own health care choice. What a novel idea, free people making their own life choices. Maybe it can catch on.

It is anecdotal but I would like to relate something I saw on the O'Reilly factor on Fox News. Bill O'Reilly played a 911 call from a woman in a fast food restaurant. It seems that the woman wanted her hamburger order prepared differently than the way it normally is done. When the customer got some static from the burger flipper the woman called 911 to ask the emergency services come to help her. It seems almost comical but here is the more serious thought - the woman needed to rely on a 911 call for help. I don't know about you but I would have just walked out of the restaurant, case over. Why do people feel that they need the government to do every thing for them? Where does it end?

My concern is with the attitude of our populace. Let's get real, Washington cannot solve all of our problems. GOD helps those who help themselves. Get with it. We cannot change the attitude of this lady but we can make sure we don't follow her thought process. Let us all make a New Years Resolution to live our lives with as little government intervention as possible. We all will be better off if we did.

Also please keep your resolve to pray for the safety of our fighting men and women.
GOD Bless
