Barack Obama's healthcare bill was passed by Congress on March 22, 2010. Thousand of protestors gathered outside Congress at that weekend was shouted “Kill the Bill”, some was shouted “Faggot” at Democratic Congressman Barney Frank. Why did they angry? Because this new law is over tax increase, represents an unconstitutional attempt to abide, drive up costs increase the Texas budget deficit, against individual right of free choice and self determination.
First, the new law increase the medicare payroll tax on employee wages and salaries from 1.5 to 2.35% on earnings. Starting in 2014, the law require Americans who continuous go without coverage will have to pay penalty to IRS, fine base on income and family size. A person making 45,000 would pay extra $ 1,125.00 taxes. Upper income taxpayers will be increase 15 to 20% next years then 23.8% rate for later.
Why anyone in Texas would say “no” to healthcare reform? The measure that healthcare reform will cost Texas billions of dollars. Tom Sueh's estimate that reform will cost Texas $ 27 billions over 10 years. Texas Republicans is filing a lawsuit that says reform violates the U.S. Constitution and Unconstitutionally infringes upon Texans individual liberties. Texas is bigger which is larger percentage of uninsured adults and children. Can you imagine the medical academic would gear up for the rising need for primary care doctors. Is it doctors waiting room already crowed enough? Maybe we have to make appointments 6 months ahead to see doctors. Moreover, people already have healthcare coverage would drop their health plans and apply with the help of government subsided healthcare.
Last, health insurance is to expensive to force people to buy it. We think America is a freedom country. We have the right to make the decisions for ourself but Obama healthcare bill would compulsory. There are people who believe in acupuncture treatment and herb medicine with no side effect. For the individual right of free choice those people who do not like to buy insurance. Should we repeal the healthcare reform?
