Healthcare Charade


Today, the administration will put on another show for the American people. The nationalized healthcare naysayers have been summoned to the White House to give their ideas on healthcare reform. Yet, the President announced his newly packaged plan days ago. So what’s the point?

Is this a meeting to exchange ideas and move forward in a bipartisan manner or a meeting to say this is my plan, get on board or get out of the way?

The American people see this meeting for what it is.

But, what I don’t understand is how this administration can continue to think that the people aren’t smart enough to see that for themselves.

We keep hearing that the White House has an open door and that this is the most transparent Congress in the history of our country. The door may be ceremonially open, but the window to hear the people must be closed.

The public has overwhelmingly rejected the idea that the government knows what is best for the rest of us.

Congressman Ted Poe
