Barack Obama's Health Care Fantasy
Barack Obama's Health Care Fantasy ^ | 07/16/2009 | Admin

Posted on 07/16/2009 8:41:52 AM PDT by BigKahuna

Barack Obama’s health care fantasy, one in which we ALL will play a mandatory — though extremely subsidiary — role, is seemingly upon us. Since his return from his overseas “journey of repentance” (which shall be discussed in a later post), he has issued orders to his minions and supernumeraries in the Congress to get a plan done before the Congress recesses for August.

Accordingly, at least two of the five committees attempting to craft a plan acceptable to the President and, hopefully, the American people (though this doesn’t appear to be the case, as yet) have put forth plans that are stunning in their implications for how we receive and pay for our health care.

It would be an understatement, to say the least, that neither of these plans (nor any of the other three currently in the works) would be acceptable from the perspective of any reasonable person, were he or she allowed to participate in the decision-making process in the Congress. That the average citizen will have no say in the outcome that Barack Obama hopes for (a healthcare system that is de facto nationalized, with a so-called “public” (i.e. government-led) option) is painfully clear from any intelligent reading of the situation currently at hand.

In a report in today’s New York Post (here), the paper pointed out that a new tax rate of 57% will affect top earners within the state should certain plans being formulated within the Congress come to fruition. The headline reads: “Dem health prescription a poison pill in New York.”

Just pop over to Steny Hoyer’s page and check out the poll. Last I looked it was 68% against gov’t run health care and 31% for. Feel free to freep the poll!

The atrocity continues — pray the Blue Dog Dems stop this radical disaster of a socialist power-grab upon the American people.

In a country of 300 million people with an alleged 40+ million who don't have insurance, why do all 300 million of us have to alter our entire healthcare system to solve a problem affecting 1/6th of the population????

THAT's the question to pose to your Congrescritter!!

Just did it. Freepers unite! Fight the good fight and go down swinging, at least. This can be stopped if everybody hangs together. If not, we’ll all hang separately (to quote Patrick Henry).

First understand that O is an NWO stooge (as are most of government and media).

U.S. Healthcare is being ‘reformed’ for NWO purposes. That’s why it is being done in such a hurry. Once people understand how they will be negatively impacted, it won’t fly. That was the lesson of the Clintoon attempt and will be avoided in this attempt. The NWO boys ain’t stupid.

The ultimate goal of healthcare ‘reform’ is long-term cost-containment. That sounds counterintuitive because costs will rise significantly in the short-term, but all you need do is look at U.K. and E.U. for the future of restricted availability.

Once healthcare supply is restricted, it will not rise in response to increased demand as it does now. With the government firmly in control of price, the normal supply-demand curve no longer applies. Supply will be restricted over the long-term such that overall healthcare costs become a smaller percentage of the cost of doing business, increasing profits. This is why big business isn’t squawking about it. It will save them big bucks (just like illegal immigration) and they know the plan.

Sick people will go on waiting lists and simply die before they can receive their ‘healthcare’. It’s a simple as that. Long-term, this is good for business as the ever-escalating cost of healthcare will be contained, sick individuals will die-off instead of being maintained with expensive healthcare and the NWO boys will have a smaller, healthier group of slaves to make them richer.

This is one of the ways that the ‘kings of the earth’ become wealthy.

Watch it happen.

Exactly.

By the way....uhbama's so called fantasy of driving health care through our pocketbooks, putting all of us at the mercy of a few folks chosen to determine who lives and who dies instead of doctors, etc., doctors who will have to follow the government rules for who gets what, that is, is not a fantasy at all.

Let's call a spade a spade FOR ONCE!

It is a nightmare.

And it is APPARENTLY SUCH A BAD DEAL THAT THE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE AND ESPECIALLY THE PRESIDENT HAVE, BY LAW, EXEMPTED THEMSELVES FROM HAVING TO PAY FOR AND BE UNDER THE SAME HEALTH CARE RULES AS THE NATION.

Something is VERY ROTTEN in Denmark.

Uhbama is an asshole.
