The Obama Care introduced a new era in American society – the era of mandatory participation in government policies.
According to the law passed by Congress yesterday if you don’t have health insurance you will be required to get one:
1. If you are under age of 26 – ask your Mom
2. If you feel like you are poor – check your Medicaid office to see if the government feels the same way about you
3. The rest of you over age of 26 and not poor enough – call the local health insurance companies and buy insurance
4. If you cannot afford to buy – IRS will deduct a $750 penalty from your tax-return
5. If you cannot pay your IRS penalties – you may be serve jail time
... Your despicable lack of health insurance will no longer be a burden for the society – unless you are poor. This brings us to the next step of the totalitarian society: your right to work. Because being poor costs a lot of money to the society and the rest are paying for those who are able but not working. After getting rid of those “freeloaders” without health insurance the government may decide to get rid of those who don’t work and cost us money.
Every totalitarian regime so far introduced the right to work – folks that are able but not working are a burden for the society. In a totalitarian society the government provides you with what you need - you should give according to your abilities. ... if you cannot find any job – you should show up in the morning and Government should give you a broom to sweep and clean the streets or do other community services work like they did in the communist...

And I paid into Medicare since 1965.
I only spend $1300 for groceries....and I still have to weork...

For those that might think this is an exaggeration, I witnessed exactly that (business travel, years ago).
I grew up in the USSR - there was no welfare - there was a broom or shovel for every loser
.....And today is the FIRST DAY of American Revolution, Part 2.
For those that might think this is an exaggeration, I witnessed exactly that (business travel, years ago).
This still goes on. Saw in Azerbaijan most recently. Remember in China it seemed to be a goodly number of peoples job to continually sweep the street. Don’t know how our “racially sensitive” poor will take to doing manual labor, much less menial labor, but I’m sure they will jump to bammy’s command.
What about those of us on the Military’s Tricare for Life? We know it’s getting cut & gutted along with Medicare. Admined out of the same agency. What about those on Tricare Prime?
So what did we learn this weekend? That the health care reform bill is such a big idea that it doesn't matter what's in it. It's such a big idea, in fact, that that's all those dopes voted for - the idea. Because they really don't know what's in the bill anyway. They couldn't have - it's 2,700 pages. This was, essentially, a "yes" vote on Shangri-la.
The argument was never about health care. It was about whether America can survive when strapped with another massive entitlement program, one in which we've been deceived about cost. Essentially Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama (Obamalosi, for short) looked at our crumbling economy, weighed down by three massive entitlement programs (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid), and thought: let's have a fourth. Let's go all in on unfunded entitlements.
The worst part? The lies. Seriously: How can anyone say this is going to save money?
I wanna show you a graph from Nick Gillespie's great piece at Reason.com
Check out the estimated cost of Medicare. 12 billion. Now check out its actual cost. 110 billion. They were only off by 900 percent.
Welcome to Greece, people. Jump in, the water's warm.
Let's look at all arguments for health care. First they tried to sell the thing on moral grounds. Didn't work. Then on efficiency grounds. Still didn't work. Then they switched to saving money. Thirty million new people to insure, and somehow they convinced themselves it'll save us money! Using the same logic, we should insure Canada too! We'd really be saving cash then!
Look - universal health care is a beautiful idea. But so is getting a pony for your fifth birthday.
When daddy argues with little Susie over that pony, she doesn't care about how they're going to afford the pony. She doesn't care if they have to mortgage the house to pay for the pony. She just wants that pony.
But see, daddy is supposed to know that. And daddy isn't supposed to actually buy the pony! And, most of all, he isn't supposed to tell everyone in earshot that it's cheaper having that pony - than having a car.
But he just did. And the media, and the Dems - fell in line like a classroom of five year old girls.
They didn't just buy the pony. They just bought the whole damn farm.
