Brown Wins!! What Now for Healthcare?

So, if you haven't been up to date on the election for Senator in Massachusetts, you might want to read THIS ARTICLE. Being stay at home moms, we often don't get to just flip on the tv/radio/internet whenever we want. We're BUSY! Anyway, my husband and I have been following this election for the past few days and it'll be interesting to see what Washington does with healthcare now. The tables have turned.

Let me set the record straight by saying that I haven't been for free healthcare, EVER. Do you want to know why? Because it starts with healthcare and then goes from there in terms of government control. We're already in so much debt as a country. When you have other countries buying major companies and buildings (hello, New York!) from you just so you can keep your businesses afloat...ug. Not good. Now, we're still spending out the ying-yang and heathcare isn't going to help. Listen closely as I tell you that my own parents who are entrepeneurs (my father has run his own business for 30+ years) don't have good healthcare and no dental. But they're not in favor of free healthcare. It's just another step in the direction of more government control. We're losing our freedom little by little as we continue to stay uniformed and uneducated about these topics.

I think we all got a glimpse of reality when Massachusetts, who is a primarily Democratic state and has been since the seventies, voted in a Republican Senator to take Kennedy's spot!!! That says something!!! Democrats are voting Republican because they're tired of Obama and Washington making promises to be open about certain policies by posting them on the internet for all American to see, when they haven't. They don't want government run healthcare and their voices are going to be heard.

We shall see when this Senator is seated. All eyes are watching and Washington wouldn't dare postpone this. We'll see what drastic measures they take to continue to try and pass their healthcare plan.

I'm so glad that our country is still free and that as voters, our voices can still be (and will be) heard!
