Project 365 ~ Day 52 (February 21, 2009)

I cannot help but wonder what's going on with our country that we are slowly losing our freedoms. This is happening right under our noses and we are so oblivious to what's going on or is it that we just don't care? Why can't we speak up and let our voices be heard? Our country is turning into a country of socialism; we are losing our freedom as individuals. With the plans to make health insurance a government choice and not an individual's choice, we are slowly beginning to fade. If a procedure is needed to prolong life, the government will have a say as to whether or not it is worth it according to how long that person's life will be prolonged and so on. We won't have the choice of paying out of pocket as europeans do because the government won't allow those who have the most money to pay for the best care. We also depend on imports and exports and when other countries get wind of us becoming socialists, they won't want to trade with us and we'll be doomed. And once our government takes away our freedoms to choose our own healthcare, there will be no turning back as we won't have any other option open to us. What is happening to our freedom of choice? Somehow, someway, we need to let our voices be heard!
