U.S. House Prepares to Vote on Health Care Bill

As I write this piece, the House of Representatives is debating the Senate health care bill in preparation of a vote later tonight. While the quality of the U.S. health care is the best in the world, there is still some opportunity to make some improvements.
The premiums are too expensive, and households can save some money on their monthly payments if the ban on interstate competition between health insurance companies is lifted. Secondly, people should not be dropped from their coverage when they get sick (or because of pre-existing conditions) after making their premium payments. Thirdly, my tax money should not be used to pay for abortion, the extermination of unborn Americans. It shouldn’t be a crime if I chose not to purchase health insurance. That is just plainly unconstitutional. These are the three main reasons why I oppose this bill.

Although majority of Americans are against this bill, the Democrats will likely pass this bill “by any means necessary”, because they have an overwhelming control of both houses of Congress. Therefore, the Republicans cannot stop this bill. Only the American people can stop this bill once the Democrats pass it.

I suspect we have not heard the last from the American people. They will speak to the politicians on the campaign trail, and on November 2.
