The Health Care Bill...

...begins with the words:

"To provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans and reduce the growth in health care spending, and for other purposes."

Being a 1990-page bill, it makes a person wonder if most of it isn't filled with other purposes. You can see for yourself here. And yes, abortion is in it (pg. 110), as is another interesting detail: a prohibition of the sale of private individual health insurance policies, beginning in 2013, forcing individuals to purchase coverage through the federal government (pg.94). And as always, new taxes on pretty much everyone.

Sweet. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be listening to the sounds of our forefathers rolling in their graves.
