Home Depot Co-Founder Says No To Government Healthcare

Bernie Marcus is one of the co founders of Home Depot, along with Arthur Blank, and his life's story is the embodiment of the American dream. He is also one helluva humanitarian, something which those on the left would scoff at since he part of the evil rich, but without people like him things like this would not be possible.

Bernie Marcus and health care are synonymous. With donations of more than $44 million for the Marcus Autism Center, and an added $25 million to fund Autism Speaks.

He's added almost $18 million to support the Shepherd Center and major programs to rehabilitate returning military personnel. Almost $4 million to the CDC Foundation, and $20 million to enhance the Trauma Center at Grady Hospital.

Add to that the fact that he almost single-handedly funded the Georgia Aquarium with a donation of $200 million and you don't have the portrait of some black-hearted corporate thug.

Well, Bernie ain't exactly happy about government control of health care.

But when it comes to the government's health care program, Marcus said, "I see a very bleak future for health care in the United States, if we pass government controlled health care. The Congress, the federal workers do not participate. This is for you and for me. I mean come on, give me a break will you, please."

Marcus says the real need is to curb fraud and limit litigation to bring costs into line.

"I don't support the national health care program. I think it's a disaster. I think we should fight it to the death," he said.

Who would you believe, somebody who came from nothing and accomplished so much and knows the business world inside and out, or a bunch of stuffed shirts who for the most part can only claim drawing a taxpayer paycheck for 40 years as an accomplishment?
