Does Healthcare Really Need A Major Overhaul?

As the healthcare debate rages on and President Obama and Congress plot on yet another way to take even more of our money, a few things are starting to become pretty clear. First of all just about every poll conducted shows that most Americans are AGAINST a major overhaul of the entire healthcare system.
Consider this. U.S. Census reports and a poll conducted by the Kaiser Foundation find that approximately 87% of Americans have some form of healthcare and the vast majority of them (89%) are happy with what they have. Of the 13% of the population that have no healthcare almost half of them claim that they CHOOSE not to have healthcare and pay out of pocket when illnesses or injury occur! That leaves approximately 6-7% of our population that wishes to have healthcare but do not. Now I ask you ..while the system isn't perfect and I'm sure some adjustments can (and should) be made, do we really need a massive multi billion dollar government run overhaul of the entire healthcare system to satisfy 6-7% of the population?
Let's look at this whole healthcare charade by Obama and Congressional Democrats and call it what it really is...more class warfare, and yet another multi billion dollar attempted money grab on the achievers, higher income earners and business owners in this country as they try to get them to foot the bill for a small percentage of people ...most of whom have never lifted a finger to help themselves or anyone else...and that's what shim sez.
