I really want to read and understand the US healthcare reform bill. However, with over 1,000 pages, that's not going to happen any time soon. Fortunately, someone read through the bill and posted their summary. You'll be shocked to see what is in this bill!
Here are a few highlights:
Page 203: "The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax."
Page 59: The federal government will have direct, real-time access to all individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer.
Page 50: All non-US citizens, illegal or not, will be provided with free healthcare services.
Page 272: Cancer patients: welcome to the wonderful world of rationing!
Page 427: Government mandates program that orders end-of-life treatment; government dictates how your life ends.
Page 429: Advance Care Planning Consult will be used to dictate treatment as patient's health deteriorates. This can include an ORDER for end-of-life plans. An ORDER from the GOVERNMENT.

Thanks to Karl Rove for pointing out some enlightening information about the health care debate in America. He notes that Survey USA and Rasmussen were the more accurate polsters in Virginia and New Jersey elections. Both groups also report that most Americans do not favor government health care reform. I think we should believe them.

Check out what the Dems have in store:
Mrs. Pelosi's bill will drive up premiums. A family of four with an income of $ 78,000 would pay $ 13,800 for insurance a year by 2016, according to CBO. Their tab would average $ 11,000 without the bill.
Every American would be required to buy health insurance or be fined up to 2.5% of their income.

I love that I work at a school with influence. On Nov. 3, LU students (about 1,000) voted overwhelmingly to elect Scott Garrett over incumbant Shannon Valentine. Garrett pulled off the victory by just over 200 votes. LU cancelled classes and offered bus service to the polls for students on election day.
Our students made a great difference this week - voting for life and liberty. It makes me proud to work here. I am thankful to have a chancellor who realizes the responsibility of citizens to be a part of electing their leaders. That's why this country was started. My one disappointment from Tuesday, is that out of 3,200 eligible students, only about 1,000 are reported to have voted. I hope and pray that our young people will not need a drastic failure of government to realize the importance of their involvement.
