That is hardly what the health bill is about! It is about infinitely more government. It is about more government employees. It is about new bureaucracies, and 16,000 new IRS employees to go around and enforce the fact that whether you want to of not, you MUST buy health insurance. You are 25, in excellent health, and don’t want nor need health insurance? Too bad Buster, you will buy it or be fined. It is about giving health insurance to the illegals. It is about imitating the Brits and Europe, and waiting long periods of time to get any treatment. It is about docs leaving America, or going underground. Let’s talk about the docs first.
My Doc is in his mid 40’s probably, has a large practice, and is a heck of a nice guy, even though I don’t need him, because I don’t get sick. We go to the same church and are good friends. His Medicare rates will be cut so low, that he can’t even break even with a Medicare patient. If you try to augment his rate, he could go to jail, and if you went in and skipped Medicare, he can’t do it legally. What is he to do? Stop taking oldsters? They’re the ones getting sick! Honestly now, what would you do? He’s gone through medical school, still has some student loan to repay, and his profession just had an arrow shot through it. Now, illegals will be getting free care, and the supposed 32 million additional people seeking medical care via the Democrat law, leaves the docs stuck taking more patients at below cost. Where will the hospital space come from? Make sense to you Democrats? The drug makers rejoice, because of all the additional drugs they can and will sell.
What the libs and Obama want, is nationalized health care. It’s all so simple! The first phase went into effect in 1965, when Medicare was passed. The camel had his foot in the tent. What just happened, is just a natural progression of more and more government, and less and less freedom. THE MORE GOVERNMENT THERE IS, THE LESS FREEDOM WE HAVE. That is a non-arguable point. And pray tell me, what have we had in the last 77 years? More and more government, and less and less freedom.
We now have an illegal President, who was born in Africa, has no right being the President, has never released his birth certificate, schooling grades or other educational records, has never released his health records, and can’t take his wife with him to a Muslim nation, because he is a Muslim, and they don’t like women other than for sexual reasons it seems, nor will they permit them in official places. No government estimate of costs has EVER proven even remotely accurate. Obama says in ten years it will save $100 billion, which is half of last month’s deficit. In reality, this atrocity will cost trillions, ruin the medical profession, and further enslave America.
Some say the insurance industry benefits from this thing, but I say it will bankrupt them. Forced to take on those with pre-existing conditions, it will break them. Go to Archives and read my column of September 8, 2009. Picture it. “Hello? Insurance Center? I have cancer, and I want a health policy which covers me.” Or maybe, “Hello Purple Cross? My whole family seems to be sick. My son has polio, my daughter is pregnant, and my smoking husband has lung cancer. I need a hysterectomy because I can’t stop bleeding, so I won’t get pregnant again. Please sign me up under the government program.”
The cost of this legislation is absolutely unimaginable. Just think of the Democrat scalawags who voted for this unconstitutional mish mash. The tens of thousands who will be hired to administer and police this nightmare will cost in the hundreds of millions a year. We will see the best doctors go to some place that is relatively free, so they can practice and earn a decent living. The paperwork, forms, and typical bureaucratese will be another nightmare, not counting the fraud, theft, payoffs, and endless cheating which will happen. I fear for my nation!
The whole thing is blatantly unconstitutional, unless you think the Constitution allows government to force you to buy something you don’t want. Will the Supremes throw it out? Will Obama try to get a retirement on the Court so he can insert a blatant liberal who will say it is Constitutional? Already, many states have sworn to sue if this passes, and many have said that they will not allow it in their state.
We, in my opinion, have reached the point at which there will be mass disobedience. Millions have, and will fill out their census forms giving the Constitutionally required number of people living there only, and leaving the rest blank. Will the feds sue and arrest millions? If an IRS agent tries to arrest someone who didn’t buy insurance, will the sheriff throw the IRS agent out? Remember, the county sheriff is the most powerful law enforcement officer there is. There are already Supreme Court rulings that basically says a state does not have to obey federal mandates.
Just because no Republican voted for the health juggernaut, doesn’t mean that most of them shouldn’t be expunged from the House and Senate in November. 95% of Republicans and 100% of Democrats vote for endless earmarks, welfare, handouts, and subsidies which have ruined America. Republicans have sent us to war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and George Bush and Sir Alan Greenscam (new way to spell him) destroyed much of the economy before Obama continued and increased the rate of dollar failure. Do I miss George Bush? Hell no! George Bush was only slightly better than Obama, and his Republicans voted for most of what he proposed, which was more government. Actually, all we can do is vote correctly, spread the word, because November is eight long months away.
Between now and November, Obama, his speech writers and teleprompter crew, will roam the US on Air Force One, at taxpayer expense, and lie to everyone about how wonderful socialized, expensive, government dictated, health care is. When he gave his prepared speech after the House approved the Senate health atrocity, his face went from left to right endlessly, as he read the speech from the teleprompters. As the White House camera moved away, I could picture the crew on either side moving the teleprompters away so no one could see them. Joke which has been around a lot: Know why Obama can’t pray? Because you can’t read a teleprompter with your eyes closed.
Why would a business hire anyone, full or part time, if they could possibly do without, since the cost of compulsory health insurance would raise the employee’s cost so much? They’ll get a tax break? B.S. Washington is total B.S. Prepare yourself for chaos in the health industry, which eventually won’t even be an industry, but a massive, money grubbing, totally inefficient bureaucracy. Protect yourself, because I’ll guarantee you that government won’t.
