In a ceremony at the US Capitol by Speaker Pelosi, that could only be attended by those on the invited guest list, the Democrats unveiled 1,990 pages of legislation intended by the Majority in the Congress to lead to a government take over of health care. The public option is government healthcare. Away with private insurance, and private "pay as you go" healthcare with options and welcome to Medicare and Medicaid on steroids.
What is the option? The Republicans, who have been systematically denied access to the closed door Democrat negotiations among the Pelosi lead Congress, have some ideas. www.healthcare.gop.gov
And Minority Leader Boehner (with a video clip) on the 1,900 page health care bill.
The health care bill debate goes to the floor on the Congress. And the American people should very afraid of the government plans to reduce present program (cost cutting), increase premiums (more coverage to more folks with less money to pay), expand coverage (anyone, including non-residents) and increased government controls (under the guise of streamlining the system). Let's see what other government success stories we have? The Post Office? Nope. The GSE's (Fanny Mae or Freddie Mac)? Nope, they went broke. What about Indian Health Care? Nope, it is not working very well. What about Amtrack? Nope, keeps losing money, even with increased subsidies.
So now the Democrats in Congress want to take over healthcare in the US? Now is the time for the American people to say: No, not this time.

Tom Mullins for Congress
Tom Mullins for Congress
On Saturday, October 17th, Tom Mullins announced his intention to run as a Republican candidate for the 3rd Congressional district in New Mexico. He is challenging the freshman Democrat Congressman, Ben Ray Lujan, Jr, son of the current NM Speaker of the House, Ben Lujan. Tom Mullins is a graduate of Colorado Schools of Mines and he is a registered professional engineer, who resides and works in Farmington, NM. Mr. Mullins has served as the past president of the Independent Petroleum Association of New Mexico (IPANM), and he is an owner in Synergy Operating, LLC and his professional consulting practice Mullins Energy, Inc.
According to recent press reports, the 40-year-old Mullins announced in Santa Fe, NM (introduced by Representative Tom Taylor, R-Farmington) and he will also announce on Sunday night October 18th in Farmington, NM.
Bloggers note: I have personally known Tom for the past 8 years, and I have found Tom to be one of most well read, well educated and hard working people that I’ve met here in New Mexico. His ability to understand issues, work with other people and get things done will serve the citizens in New Mexico well, when he is elected to Congress.
