Congressman Tim Bishop has some nerve telling us that those against Obama's health insurance plan are engaging in misinformation when nobody knows the details of the plan. If Bishop and his gang would take the time to let everybody see the details then maybe we wouldn't be so misinformed. Instead they want to ram this thing down our throats as fast as possible before anyone finds out what's in it. What's the hurry? The plan, according to rumor, doesn't take effect until 2013. (conveniently after the 2012 presidential election so that people don't see the ill effects until after they re-elect Obama) Also, according to some reports, the plan requires people to have insurance. Just what right does the Government have to tell us we have to buy anything? I know we have to have insurance if we want to drive our cars, but this is more like the Government telling us we have to buy the car. If this plan is so great, why wait so long for it to take effect? If it is so wonderful, why are Congress and the President exempt from it? If this bill passes we must study it and, if necessary as I suspect, work to repeal it. Until then we must repeal Tim Bishop in November for puting us in this position.
