TEA Party Set For Saturday In Lakewood
By The Post-Journal StaffThe Southern Tier TEA Party Patriots will hold a TEA Party at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Lakewood Village Hall, 20 W. Summit St.
The "Health Care or Health Control TEA Party" welcomes all to attend an open meeting to all opinions and points of views. The 2000-page bill passed recently in the House of Representatives of government-run health care reform.
"That's debatable," says Bill De La Cerda, vice president of the Southern Tier Tea Party Patriots. "This 20-pound Pelosi bill isn't about reform, but control. Who would call increased mandates, bureaucracies, more interference between you and your doctor, and higher taxes reform except progressives, like Congressman Higgins and Speaker Pelosi? The bill threatens us with fines and imprisonment for not having good enough insurance. If this is reform, who needs tyranny?"
The bill provides the public option with a pledge not to add to the federal deficit.
The TEA Party will include outlining reforms most in Congress have ignored and resisted.
These include addressing tort reform to relieve the huge expense of malpractice insurance on doctors, facilitating measures to enhance the direct relationship between patient and doctor and the freedom to purchase insurance across state lines.

We'll ignore the grammatical deficiencies of "The 2000-page bill passed recently in the House of Representatives of government-run health care reform" for a moment and focus on the content. This bill does NOT include single-payer health care, universal health care or any other government-run health care program other than the public option, which is a choice. The public option is a step in the right direction, but insurance companies will probably continue to profit from the sickness and death of Americans. It's hard to believe that in a country with some of the best health care in the world, so many people are willing to deny their fellow citizens access to it.
