Well, we've had national healthcare for 3 days now and what do we get? At least 7 states are considering suing the federal government claiming the new law is unconstitutional. Polls would tell us that over 60% of the American people didn't want it before and now that we can read it, they still don't want it. We get the opportunity to pay higher taxes now for something that we can't use for 3 years. I guess this new president who was going to be so bipartisan and bring healing to the nation is doing just the opposite. Georgia was voting on March 24 to allow health insurance providers to sell policies across state lines, but it was defeated or at least tabled. One of the arguments made against it was that we still don't know where this healthcare plan is going and how we will be affected. So, even though the federal bill was signed into law, we don't have unity, we don't have consensus, the American people are divided, taxes are going up, but the health care improvements are delayed. Well, if you voted for Obama hoping for change, I hope you understand why the rest of us didn't. However, November is coming and we have the opportunity to begin the correction of these misguided leaders. There is still hope that as Americans and individuals we can reach for the heights of success.
