San Diego Republicans Respond to White House Health Care Summit
I don't know how many of you watched the much lauded "Health Care Summit" at the White House today, but I did. I figured I'd "take one for the team" and watch the entire thing. Maybe, just maybe the president would have an open mind and be genuine about wanting to incorporate Republican ideas of how to reform our health care system. Hope springs eternal, right?
Well, I'll tell you. That's six or so hours I'll never get back. It was a total waste of time, and the outcome was predetermined, in that the president and the Democrats had the bill they wanted, and were just looking for some cover to be able to say that they "sat down with" the Republicans. Next we'll see an unprecedented push to shove this bureaucratic nightmare down our collective throats. Just wait.
I can't figure it out. The American people are clearly against the president's plan, but the Democrats just don't seem to care. They're determined to shove this through no matter what. I even saw Senator Barbara Boxer still pushing for a "public option", to lead our country towards a single-payer (i.e. government-run) health care system on the one of the nightly news shows the other day.
The Democrats ignore the will of the American people at their peril, and the blowback will be huge, as I described on KUSI earlier this week. As someone who was born and raised in Sweden, I've seen "free", single-payer, government-run health care in action, and let me tell you; it's not a pretty sight. It's not a system which treats an 82 year old with the same dignity as a 22 year old.
I am committed to doing everything I can to elect common sense, back-to-basics Republicans this year througout San Diego County, and I look forward to working with you to do that. As the year progresses, make sure that you are connected with the party through Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and our email list, and please help spread the word and get others involved and connected too.
[R]EVOLUTION 2010 is coming! I can feel it! Can you?
