Because not everyone reads this blog, yet, there are still plenty of folk out there who continue to believe that Obama’s health initiative is about health. This is simply not true. These poor lambs have been had.
One of today’s astute political observers, Mark Steyn, puts it this way: "The governmentalization of health care is the fastest way to a permanent left-of-center political culture. It redefines the relationship between the citizen and the state in fundamental ways that make limited government all but impossible. Government health care is not about health care, it’s about government." Thank you.
We’ve already looked at the bill in detail, earlier posts; as Buffett and others now understand, it will raise not lower costs, and, break the federal bank in the bargain.
No one argues that the US has the world’s best health care. No one argues that it is expensive, either. But it’s not a secret how to fix that - start with tort reform, then unleash the hand of competition, nationwide. Improve the private health sector incrementally and judiciously, and with the agreement of the majority. To quote Jeff Anderson of the Weekly Std., as a start, "end runaway malpractice lawsuits, allow Americans to buy insurance across state lines, and allow companies to offer lower premiums for healthier lifestyles." These reforms could be implemented independently. Anderson concludes, "All three involve having the government or the legal system get out of the way, thereby enabling health care costs to decline."
Even the far left understand that’s the right way to go. They also understand it does not fit their agenda.
Know what folks? It doesn’t matter one bit if anyone out there wants BO's health initiative or not (and hardly anyone does). Opposition is just noise, a nuisance. Representation is not on the table in Washington. Far-left "representatives" - BO, Pelosi and the rest - are not representatives at all, they are dictators. Theirs is a barely-disguised tyrannical existence with one aim - to effect permanent change by annexing about 16% of the economy to serve their statist agenda.
It is the chance of a lifetime for these extremists, Americans only on paper and patriots not at all.
