INSURANCE: Health care reform bill is a disaster

Rep. Norm Dicks is convinced that 535 people in Washington, D.C., have the intelligence and right to decide what is acceptable health insurance coverage for every single person in the country. And if you don’t agree to play along with him and his like-minded Democrats, he wants you fined, arrested and put in jail.

Rep. Norm Dicks is convinced that 535 people in Washington, D.C., have the intelligence and right to decide what is acceptable health insurance coverage for every single person in the country. And if you don’t agree to play along with him and his like-minded Democrats, he wants you fined, arrested and put in jail.

He also thinks adding 111 new health commissions and panels, cutting hundreds of billion dollars from elderly health care, increasing an already bankrupt government’s spending obligations $1.6 trillion are the way to fix health care. As more is learned about the requirements of this bill, it is almost beyond belief that anyone would agree that it will be anything but a disaster for America.

Rep. Dicks’ support of this bill is proof that after 30 years in office, he is now just a partisan politician rather than a representative of the people in his district.
