Rep. Foxx Fears 'Obamacare' More Than Terrorist Attack

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) warned on the House floor today that the country has more to fear from health care reform than from terrorism. Here's the quote and the clip.
 
"Everywhere I go in my district, people tell me they are frightened. … I share that fear, and I believe they should be fearful. And I believe the greatest fear that we all should have to our freedom comes from this room — this very room — and what may happen later this week in terms of a tax increase bill masquerading as a health care bill. I believe we have more to fear from the potential of that bill passing than we do from any terrorist right now in any country."

I just love my choice to have health insurance or not to have health insurance. My life is what I make of it. There has been times I have gone with out. But there has never been a time when I did not have health insurance, that I was not seen by a doctor when I needed one. The doctor understood my financial situation and we always worked out a deal. So, it's not like there is not already a system that can work for us. Obama, leave health care alone please. I don't want to be a communist nation.

Notice the Liberal Bloggers are back in force today? (maybe a little sting from yesterdays election) They spend more time on Fox then most of us. And it's because they can not stand any opinion that differs from theirs...Libs are tollerant only to the point where you disagree or say something unkind about dear leader or his policies. These are a real bunch of angry people, Remember Obama's "clinging to guns and religion" line? It's the same with these libs. Rearrange the deck chairs, cling to the company line no matter what. You don't have to be factual, just yell loud and stomp your feet. And show your true hattred of anything conservative...NO debate, just yelling...My favorite today is George, he tells us to "move" if we don't like whats happening..I am not moving, nor giving up my principals to someone like George or his dear leader. George I remember Alec Baldwin say he would leave the county if George Bush were elected..is'nt that him on 30 Rock? didn't leave did he?. It was all liberal show, like this administration. No George I am not moving, Nor am I going to accept things like Obamacare, or cap and trade,or any other foolishness that Nancy, Harry and the rest of these boneheads dream up. Your party is going in so many directions at once they can not function on any level. Scream on George..you only make yourself look foolish.

Virginia Foxx is right.
For me, it's not the money that government run health care will cost that bothers me.

It's the freedom that it will cost.

First, total take over of healthcare is just stupid. Please name one government entitlement that ever worked without going approximately 7 times over budget.

Healthcare can be fixed without a takeover. If I had control of the trillion you mention, most of it would go back to payoff national debt, not create more debt. Healthcare can, and should be fixed, but with rules, not muti-trillion dollar takeovers!

well, if you were SMART, you'd spend it on OUR TROOPS since they are actually fighting the war RIGHT NOW.
then , you would see how you could CUT COSTS of healthcare without revamping the whole entire system.

When the public option puts private insurers out of business, we will have no option. Government will control medical care and costs. We will be at their mercy. When we are sick or hurt and accept government medical care, we will "owe" them (they'll decide how much). To recoup costs for our care, they will come after everything we have, including our homes. It's part of the overall plan to destroy private property rights and redistribute the wealth.
