Voting Against Government-Run Health Care
By Senator Tom Coburn
This
vote is indeed historic. This Congress will be remembered for its
arrogance, corruption and stupidity. In the year of 2009, a Congress
ignored the coming economic storm and impending bankruptcy of our
entitlement programs and embarked on an ideological crusade to bring
our nation as close to single-payer, government-run health care as
possible. If this bill becomes law, future generations will rue this
day and I will do everything in my power to work toward its repeal.
This bill will ration care, cut Medicare, increase premiums, fund
abortion and bury our children in debt.
This process was not compromise. This process was corruption. This
bill passed because votes were bought and sold using the issue of
abortion as a bargaining chip. The abortion provision alone makes this
bill the most arrogant piece of legislation I have seen in Congress.
Only the most condescending politician can believe it is appropriate to
force Americans to pay for other people's abortions and to coerce
medical professional to take the lives of unborn children.
