How many of them would feel comfortable voting on a Sense of the Senate Resolution such as this one?
Whereas; Any government administered health care insurance program is commonly refereed to by some as "socialized medicine" and
Whereas; Some assert that the true health care interests of our citizens can be better served by private insurance corporations than by officials who are directly accountable to our own freely elected representatives and
Whereas; Any government administered health care insurance option is repeatedly characterized by some as "a government takeover of heath care" and
Whereas; Medicare is a government administered health care insurance program and
Whereas; America's senior citizens are deeply honored by the U.S. Senate for their long life times of service to this nation, for their numerous life accomplishments, and for their accumulated wisdom upon which we so frequently depend and
Whereas; Tens of millions of senior citizen Americans to this day receive their health care insurance through government administered Medicare and
Whereas; it has been asserted that Medicare was an unwarranted government takeover of health care for the elderly:
Therefore; Be it resolved today that the U.S. Senate shall establish as it's goal the complete privatization of the Medicare insurance program currently covering millions of Senior Americans by the fall of 2010.
What is your pleasure Senators? Stand up and be counted! Yea or Nay?
