Don't hate the farmers.

Interesting post up from the White House.

So answer me this. If you are opposed to health care reform, why do you hate farmers?

Ok, so that is a snarky question and I don't expect any answers. The point is that with a little research it isn't hard to find dozens, if not hundreds, of examples like this.

For those of you that want to argue that you "don't want to pay for freeloaders." Well, I hate to break it to you...you already are.

We all know that there are government plans in place currently to help many people that need it. Hard working people that have medical expenses that no normal person can afford. These programs exist for a very, very good reason. Not everyone using government programs is a freeloader. In fact, I think its a safe assumption that the vast majority are hard working people that just need a little help coping with the obscene prices for necessary procedures.

Health care reform is needed. Rates are high to cover unnecessarily expensive procedures that may or may not be covered by your insurance company. Small businesses often can't afford coverage for their employees, which means there are a lot more uncovered people that are relying on the governmental assistance in the case of a tragic need. Do you see where I am going with this?

Without regulation things will never improve.

Agree or disagree?
