I have a few questions

The Health Care Bill (HCB) has been signed in to law. I have heard some of my friends and family say things like, "Well, at least they are doing something", "At least they are moving in the right direction", "finally, Congress has done something". Well, I have a few questions:

1. If the HCB is so good, why did the Congressional leaders and the President have to coerce and/or bribe members of their own party to get the bill passed?

2. Why are most of the benefits delayed until 2014? Some are delayed until 2018.

3. Why is the President and some members of Congress and their staff's exempt?

4. Now that the Federal government can force us all to purchase something, what will they try to force us to buy next? A GM car?

5. What ever happened to the land of the free? I don't think Francis Scott Key meant the land of free health care (which isn't really free).

6. Why are those who usually love to refer to the separation of church and state, the same people who quote Jesus' statements about helping the needy to back up their support of the HCB?

7. Why is it considered theft if my neighbor, who needs health care, comes to me and demands I pay for it at the point of a gun, but when the IRS comes to my door to demand the same thing, it is to fulfill someone's idea of compassion?

8. Why am I considered to be a racist, if I disagree with the policies of the first black President? I'm sorry, the second black President. Bill Clinton was the first.

9. Why are Student Loans part of the HCB? So, some of the cost of this bill is being put on the backs of students paying off their student loans.

10. Why do we trust the CBO to accurately predict the future cost of the HCB? They certainly do not have a very good track record of predicting the cost of other bills. Take Medicare for example. The actual costs are about 10 times what was estimated.

11. Did anyone who voted on the HCB actually read the bill? This is the really scary part for me. How can anyone vote for a bill if they don't even know what is in it?

12. Why do we trust the same people who run the Post Office and Amtrak to run our health care system? The HCB gives new definition to "all aboard".

13. Why can't the supporters of the HCB be generous with their own money and keep their mits off of my wallet? There should be a line on the Federal Tax Return, "Do you want to contribute to the health care costs of others?" "If so, how much?" Then they can pay more in taxes and leave the rest of us alone.

14. Why must the Vice President drop the f*** bomb in public?

15. How did they come up with the age of 26 for children to be covered on their parent's insurance? Why not, 27, or 37, or 57? Why put any age limit on it? I want my mommy to pay for my insurance. If I had a 26 year old child still living at my house, they would need health insurance :)

I am sure there will be more questions to follow.
