“Something will have to be done when everyone has no healthcare”
But hopefully, conservatives will control congress by then.
——— works so long as you don’t run out of other people’s money.-——
Or so long as The people don’t chop off your head
I wonder how many rights doctors lose under obamacare. I suspect they can’t treat people free if they want. They probably become as helpless of serfs to the government as the patients.
It’s collapse will be blamed on Republicans, corporations, capitalism, talk radio, Bush, Joos.... anything but Obama and Democrats
Cruz America!
I have seen lib comments on other sites longing for German type healthcare. I looked it up and the Germans have to 15.5% of their salary for healthcare.
No, there hundreds that will shift the blame up the contractor chain to the bureaucrat chain where it will be so intense and general there will be no falling on swords.
Obama is not going to have the support he thinks he has. He will be isolated
The world has turned against him and his presstitute minions will too
Yes, when we've finally convinced all the morons of the wisdom of conservative policies, through reasoned debate that leaves out all icky talk of virtue, self-sufficiency, moral hazards, delayed gratification, God....
“But eventually Peter is going to run out of money...”
Okay, but what if Peter gets to print all the money he wants? Will he ever run out? Oh, the money might be useless, but will it run out?

That’s what I’m thinking. As Mark Levin has stressed, “collapse under its own weight” means nothing without a mechanism.
That just brings us back to consequence #2 again...
or the U.S. economy falls apart because of the extreme burden being hoisted on those who are responsible for paying the bill.
(Ping to #15 !!)
The facts are simple and basic and no one talks about them.
1st, the government can not properly manage the most simple thing with which they have been entrusted: Social Security.
Any insurance actuary could get it on its feet, but only so long as the government would give them the power they need and then stay completely out of it.
Social Security is basically the most simple task for the government.
Next is the Post Office. UPS and FedEx have show us that they could run the PO properly, but again it would require that the government stay totally out of it.
Now compare the complexity of the medical profession with the complexity of the two examples above.
The medical profession is probably the most complex profession on the face of the earth. You have everything from the old about to retire university professor looking through his microscope for something no one has every found, and he may not before he retires, to the super medical centers like Johns Hopkins, the many charitable church operated hospitals, the drug manufacturers, the medical equipment manufacturers...from bandaids and stethoscopes to robo artificial limbs....down to the family practitioner.
The very idea that a government agency can manage anything so complex and diverse is so ridiculous that anyone who suggests it should be laughed out of the room.
So obviously we are headed for a disaster far far beyond the problems with the web site, the costs, taxes and even the loss of personal liberty.
The medical profession as we know it will be destroyed.
Your care giver is going to be Kathleen Sebelius.
How does that sound?
there it seems to be going
Libs famously do not know what they’re talking about when they talk about Euro ways of doing things.
Do they talk to Germans?
Do they have German friends? Do they interview people in Hollywood who’ve been there and back?
The Germans - here’s what they do- they pay enormous taxes. Many have one car per family, and they can, because of the way things are set up.
They live for the government. They attend church (every religion except Islam) at a rate of about less than 10% per capita.
They wait on long lists for medical care, they pay their doctors.
They do not give government money to people who don’t work. They wouldn’t allow it, though, when the Wall came down they were not happy to pay for the socialist East Germans not used to working.
They walk and ride bikes everywhere. They don’t live on processed food. They treat their illnesses with natural remedies with much less regulation than we have. They think we are way too fat.
And they don’t give high tech medical care to the elderly.
They do not get married. They are not having kids to replace population.
And they take Sundays off. Everything is closed. This is good for health, god commands it, so it must be good, but they do it as a carry over from former times.
They take much vacation during the year and they are very mindful of reducing stress.
They do all this because it comes naturally to them and also because they are ordered to live like this.
Americans want to do whatever they want and they would reject the German way of being told what to do, in a second. But that’s part of their success, if that’s what it is.
And they don’t have the military expenses we have.
