They aren't *my* beliefs, they're my husband's beliefs. We're without insurane and I can't see a doctor for my hypothyrodism, asthma, and fibromyalgia for fear of them being listed as pre-existing if we're in a position to get re-insured. And god forbid if anything happens to my kids before we're reinsured. We can't afford the CHIP in our state because we make too much for the discounted version and we can't afford the version that is available to us. And you want to know why our insurance was $1k a month? Because I had post-partum depression with my first child and was on zolft for 7 months, went uninsured, got re-insured, and the new insurance considered me a RISK and therefore not eligible for their normal rates. I would frakkin LOVE to be insured again. My only legitimate concern is that the new bill will make things worse for us financially since we can't afford to insure ourselves, let alone future employees, and we'll likely be fined for it, which again, we can't afford.

But I digress; My main argument is that I am just sick of seeing a people with LEGITIMATE reasons for being opposed to big government spending, including the new health care reform bill, as being depicted as a bunch of ass-backward conservative racist yokels. That would be like saying that all of the people in favour of it are Obama-loving bleeding-heart liberal Jews and former hippies who want to legalize recreational drugs and gay marriage the world over. True in some, perhaps many, cases, but certainly not all!
