What are you waiting for?

     On Tuesday, just 36 hours after the House of Representatives voted, President Obama signed into law the massive health care reform bill. Despite its tremendous policy flaws, its lack of bipartisan backing, its widespread public disapproval and its egregious constitutional inadequacies, Obamacare is now the law of the land.

     But we haven't even seen the worst of it. The new bill is undergoing so-called fixes via the reconciliation bill. You may have thought it was impossible to make the policy and process of Obamacare even worse, but that is exactly what the reconciliation bill does.

     According to a new analysis from Americans for Tax Reform, over the course of a decade, the reconciliation bill will add an estimated $52.3 billion in new taxes. These taxes will be levied against employers, the sick, low-income and moderate-income workers, and just about everyone else, regardless of income.

     These so-called fixes are misnomers that actually fracture our economy further instead of repairing it. But even true fixes aren't enough to correct Obamacare. As Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) pointed out, "This bill is unconstitutional and it cannot be fixed. It must be repealed."

     On top of the harm to our economy and harm to our health care that Obamacare will inflict, this liberal success will only fuel the left's agenda to push forward with cap and trade, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and other costly and harmful big-government proposals. These proposals would draw us further away from American principles like self-government and closer to a European welfare state.

     Congressman John Dingell (D-MI), a champion of Obamacare told radio host Paul Smith on WJR in Detroit, " It takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people."

     Our Founding Fathers established a limited government in order to protect our liberties- not to control the American people. When Patrick Henry famously exclaimed 235 years ago, "Give me liberty, or give me death," he was making a statement that has come to define our national character.

     Patrik Henry's sentiments remain very much alive today among the American People. Though under asault from the left, the American love of liberty that prevailed in our founding will prevail once again.

     It is true that the passage of Obamacare opens the doors for the left's radically progressive agenda. But it can also serve to remind Americans of the courage of our Founders as they fought government tyranny. This is especially important as we strive to revive our commitment to liberty and self-government.

     It's not over yet!
