Why Health Care is So Crucial to this Administration

After 14 long, agonizing months, health care reform has come to the finish line. Battered, rejected and defeated in public opinion, it's been raised from the dead any number of times to get to this climatic point. This is now the democrats' final "make or break" week.

And if this bill "makes" it, it may just "break" us as a nation! The debilitating burden of paying for this bill and our nation's burgeoning debt will forcibly go to our children and to their children.

The Administration and Congress have stopped at nothing to force this unpopular bill down our throats. Every week we read of more unethical practices by this Congress, using bribes, kickbacks, and the perverting of the legislative process.

But why?

If the public is so opposed to this bill, why are democrats so intent at falling on their swords to force government-run health care upon us? Why is this Administration pushing an agenda that will cause the economy to suffer catastrophic heart failure?

This is not just about health care. I repeat, this is not just about health care! If it was, there would be a greater flexibility between the political parties to come to a compromise. As it stands now, this is clearly a partisan bill, supported only by President Obama and congressional democrats. The republicans were never given an opportunity to work with the majority party.

I submit that the reason why the left is ignoring public opinion, is simple: It's about an agenda that will change the face of America for all time.

If the bill passes, we will see how the "change" that was promised will dramatically alter the American spirit and culture -- from which there may be no return.

Everything that this administration wants to impose upon this nation, begins and ends here -- in health care. This would be the biggest expansion of government control since the 1960s. Slowly but surely, this administration has been taking more and more control over the private sector, whether it's automobile companies or student bank loans, and now this health-care takeover, which would give the government control over one sixth of the nation's economy, would be the left's crowning achievement.

If this bill passes, there would be no more stopping the erosion of our freedoms and the turning of this nation into a socialist nightmare.

Of course, the behind-the-scenes reason for the president's incessant push for this bill is that his presidency is on the line and it all hinges on this passing. This is again why I say, it's not just about health care.

This is why the stacks are so high and this is why you need to make your voices heard, before it's too late. Once this bill passes, there is no more going back. If you overlook this time for action, you'll one day wake up and regret that you casually ignored your nation's cry for a health care reform that doesn't put America on the gurney!
