This Health-Care Reform Might Tax Us to Death
SmartMoney ^ | uly 17, 2009 | Donald Luskin

Just how bad IS the new proposed legislation on so-called health-care reform for investors? Well, how much time do you have?

Let's start with the price. This thing is going to cost trillions of dollars. And how do you think it's going to get paid for?

Investors are going to get taxed. You are going to get taxed. It's that simple. The people without health insurance -- the very people whom this is supposed to help -- are going to get taxed too. And millions of them will be left without insurance (even though they have to pay higher taxes).

At least the lazy, the crack ho’s, the brood sows and the poor illegals will still get free (to them) health care.

Sniff, sniff, sniff.
What would these poor unfortunates do without the democrats and RINO’s?

/sarcasm off/

There is more to it than taxes, but that’s what very outlet seems to take up as the main problem to confront. But...

This bill is LOSS OF PERSONAL FREEDOM.

The government wants real time access to all financial accounts and also insists on sticking their noses in Power of Attorney and living wills. .

Surely, some of us know that even firearms in the home with children are now becoming a “childrens health issue”..do any of us believe we will have any freedom left if this passes?

This plan is not about health. It is about the acquisition of POWER AND CONTROL over American citizens and the medical industry, 20% of our economy. In his recent “news conference”, Obama talked for an hour, LIED for an hour, and was totally vague about any details of a subversive plan to destroy the best health care system in the world and put in its place, a destructive and dangerous Euro-like socialist mess. THERE IS NO OTHER NEED to destroy what we have. Yes, it needs to be overhauled, BUT it does not need to be replaced by a MASSIVE, UNAFFORDABLE, SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT plan that pretends to be health care.

The rationing of health care, the killing of senior citizens, and denial of services is NOT THE AMERICAN WAY and is NOT NECESSARY to our health care system. It is egregious, draconian, and again nothing but a MASSIVE SOCIALIST POWER GRAB by OBAMA!!!!!

Here's a large image of the Democratic (Obama) Health Plan empty promise. Email the link or the image to everyone you know. This puts the lie to Obama's rambling, smoke screens regarding his health plan disaster.

Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

Also the “Feds” will monitor in what we eat.. We all see it coming in the news every day - Do you have a page number in the bill that alludes to this? I'd love to have it and pass it along.

Just go to any mall or WalMart near the US-Canada border. You will find tons of Canadians parked there, buying up stuff to smuggle home to avoid paying the confiscatory 15% GST sales tax that they use to fund their “free” health-care.

The new conference was a farce. Softball questions followed by rambling, incoherent, contentless droning.

I'm sure its in there somewhere. Disguised, of course. Your statement left me curious enough to check it out. If I find something, I'll post.
