Reform: Millions of Americans finally got to hear the Democrats' pitch on health care reform, made by their top salesman. But they heard nothing new — just a lot of discredited myths recycled as the truth.

IBD Exclusive Series: Government-Run Healthcare: A Prescription For Failure

---

For the record, we support improving our health care system. As is, it has too many rules, too much government spending and too few market forces to keep costs low and quality high.

We spend north of $2 trillion every year on health care — 17% of our GDP, the most of any wealthy nation. If that sounds like a lot, remember this: An estimated 47% of that already is spent by the government. And government's share will grow even without "reform."

Look closely at the plans so far to emerge from Congress. What the Democrats have proposed, in essence, is a government takeover of nearly one-fifth of our nation's economy. When brought up in Congress, this idea has been rejected repeatedly. Yet, somehow, the idea never dies.

That's why the president's speech Wednesday night was a big disappointment.

Salesman?... Obama is simply a con man.. He says nothing substantial..
He is vague on purpose.. When he is NOT vague it is almost ALWAYS a lie..

People will believe a lie if the lie is BIG ENOUGH..
Like democracy... Democracy is a lie..
No democracy has ever yet been democratic..
People want it to be so, so they believe it..

Democracy is now and always has been in literally every example MOB Rule. by mobsters..
And Socialism is the Mobs Protection Scam.. to protect you from THEM..

0bama is a charlatan. 0bama is like the Pied Piper of Hamelin who lead all the children to disaster. Except America is the children and we are the parents who must prevent him from leading this great country to disaster

My brother, a liberal, says _any_ new health care solution is better than the one we have. The mind boggles.

Obama’s speeches on healthcare is the new rickroll.

The article’s conclusion:

“A bill for comprehensive care reform was first introduced by John Dingell Sr. in 1943,” he also pointed out. “Sixty-five years later, his son (Rep. John Dingell, Michigan Democrat now in his 28th term) continues to introduce that same bill at the beginning of each session.”

Could it be, we wonder, that the reason why health reform of the kind the Dingells and Democrats have been pushing for 100 years has gone nowhere is that Americans want nothing to do with it? What is it about “No!” that they don’t understand?
