The most recent compromise regarding the new Health care legislation is sponsored by Harry Reid which is proposing to expand Medicare to people 55 years old.
With all due respect Senator Reid, Are you out of your mind?
You want to expand a program which currently is running on approximately 73 Billion dollars in unfunded liability. A program which reimburses at a lower rate than the cost of service. A program which is projected to be bankrupt in about 10 years. Also, a program which is riddled with fraud. All in the name of competition for insurance companies?
Here is a video by 60 minutes which describes the scope of Medicare fraud. It is excellent. It will make you wonder who is getting more competition, the insurance companies or the taxpayers?

5 Things you can do to support the Constitution
1. Read It!2. Speak out! Exercise you freedom of speech when you see the Constitution being violated.
3. Write! Your congressional representative and ask them to protect your right to property by not raising your taxes.
4. Practice the 2nd Amendment! (This comes from my husband: Get you concealed weapons permit)
5. Vote! Only for those representatives who vow to uphold and defend the Constitution.
