Anyone who has really studied the American Revolution and the elections of 1800 would know that this kind of outcry and “politiking” is nothing unusual. It’s called freedom of speech. bill
Manufacturers can’t compete if costs are dictated to by government. The colonists resisted when the Brits imposed taxes on printed materials - (otherwise know as the Stamp Act). And the name calling between the parties in 1799 looks like today.

Congressman Don Manzullo (R-IL) today joined dozens of his colleagues and
thousands of Americans on the steps of the U.S. Capitol for a news conference
to protest Speaker Pelosi’s government takeover of health care.
The House is scheduled to vote Saturday on Speaker Pelosi’s 1,990-page bill,
which would raise taxes $730 billion on Americans, cost 5 million more jobs,
threaten the health insurance of 114 million Americans, and spend more than $1
trillion.
Manzullo supports an alternative Republican bill that the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Office states would reduce health insurance premiums up to
10 percent and cut the deficit by $68 billion without raising taxes and without
threatening the health insurance of millions of Americans.

The Illinois State Medical Society opposes:
- Government-mandated treatment guidelines that interfere with doctors’ clinical decision-making and the doctor-patient partnership.
- A government-subsidized “public option” that would unfairly compete in the health insurance market.
- A “public option” that ties physician reimbursement to Medicare’s inadequate payment rates and/or mandates physician participation.
- A single payor health system. ISMS believes health system reform should improve and expand upon the current public-private system and focus on incremental, evolutionary change.
- Further expansion of Medicaid as a means of covering the uninsured. Given Illinois’ track record of a woefully underfunded Medicaid program, we much prefer subsidies for the private purchase of health insurance by low-income patients.
