Obamacare

Obamacare

Or How are You feeling Today

A new president came into office with a sagging economy, rising unemployment, a financial crisis brought on in large part by federal government interference in the free (such as it is) market and the failure of federal agencies to regulate properly, a continuing War on Terror, and a host of other pressing problems. So what does the new president tackle?


Health care.

Say what?

Health care.

President Obama decided to concentrate his energy, time, and political capital on health care just as the Clintons focused on health care in the early 1990s.

Why?

Power.

Control.

Are two reasons Obama selected health care because health care is the fastest way for a socialist to take complete control of the American economy. This complete control is what the Clintons wanted and is what every socialist wants so people’s lives can be planned, organized, controlled, directed, and managed by a Big Brother government in Washington, D. C.

It is not reform and Obama has no plan for health care. Where is the plan he talks of in speeches? Senator Max Baucus just released a “plan” he developed over the past few weeks. It is not the Obama Plan for there is no Obama Plan. But any plan that empowers faceless bureaucrats in DC is one Obama will sign. Obama wants to extend the government’s nose farther into the health care tent in order to control people’s lives.

The federal government recently offered a “Cash for Clunkers” program to encourage folks to trade in old gas guzzlers for modern vehicles with higher CAFÉ standards. The feds spent $3 Billion in this effort to clean up the highways and stimulate the automobile economy. However, most dealers complain of no/late payments from the feds for the thousands of old cars they accepted and paid the buyers.

If the feds cannot operate a simple “Cash for Clunkers” program, why should we Americans expect the feds to run a health care system?

During the 2009 August Congressional recess millions of Americans expressed their opposition to the feds taking over health care. Surveys show that most people are happy with their health care coverage and want no changes to it. Many exercised their right of speech at town hall meetings and told their elected federal officials they wanted no federal government takeover of their health care system.

In turn these folks were criticized, called rioters, radical right wingers, extremists, organized by the Republican opposition. The media played from the Obama handbook and joined in the bashing of people freely speaking their minds .

In a few months we went from adoring a politician who cut his teeth on ACORN –a community organizer- to condemning folks for self organizing and expressing their views to their elected representatives.

Change! You asked for it!

To paraphrase PJ O’Rourke, if you think health care is expensive now, wait until it is free!
