What's frightening about this legislation is that it focuses on expanding government entitlement programs and insurance coverage. Health care reform should first and foremost focus on health care costs (overuse of the system by consumers...tort reform for lawsuits...sharing of costs). If we have no "skin in the game", then there is no incentive to reduce usage (and costs). As more people use the system, you can bet that several more zeroes will need to be added to the cost of this proposal.

The president is calling for an "up or down" vote on the package, saying those voting no are against health care reform.  That's wrong...they're just against this mistake of a health care bill.  There are better ways to proceed.
