Universal Health Care

The following paragraph was taken from an article on yahoo. Interesting that in the article it says that the legislation will raise health care costs, not cut them. Democrats decided to go ahead with the legislation. Almost like everything else. Politically they can claim victory while causing Americans to suffer. This is what all politicians have become. They want to gain political victories instead of victories for the American people. They claim its a victory for all Americans, but we are getting hurt. So now we see our energy prices will go up and health care costs going up. Debt is skyrocketing and taxes are going up. If they tax employers more and raise costs on businesses to pay for this stuff then consumer prices will go up too.

Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf warned lawmakers the legislation that he has seen so far would raise costs, not lower them. Elmendorf was asked by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.S., if the bills Congress is considering would "bend the cost curve." The budget director responded: "The curve is being raised."

On the bright side my son had a baseball game on Thursday. He is learning to be a catcher and caught the first inning. He caught well. He also went 3 for 3 with a single and 2 triples. 8 RBI and 3 Runs scored. He pitched 2/3 of an inning striking out one. Band camp starts in 2 weeks.

At church they split our congregation. They have us going by geographic location. My subdivision is on the south side of the border. This means that friends from church a few minutes away go to a different building and at a different time. My only issue is when I need a ride for my kids during activities. I have friends on both sides, just the transportation issue for me is going to make it more difficult.
