OF all the wishful thinking, denial of realities and bla tantly false assertions that surround President Obama's push for government-dominated health care, the biggest whopper is the claim that public administration will be more efficient than private health plans.

Well, I know the left will call me a racist, but with the government $12,000,000,000,000 in debt, why is is Obama thinks they will be able to do better than the private sector. Especially since the government is pretty much a monopoly.
We need to vote people in who will cut - not increase - government involvement in everything that the private sector could be doing. The only way to get smaller government is to actually make it smaller.
What, 0 found a whole section of people who will work for free?
Oh, it isn't for profit, it's the government, 'for profit' only applies when you can't print your own money?
And the truly agonizing thing is that there is a HUGE number of Americans who must believe this m0ronic nonsense, because they don't believe it's a deliberate deception.
Why do you think they set the “tax” at 8% if you do not offer Ins. To your ee’s? I doubt if it could be because it would be cheaper to drop the plan and force the ee’s in to government rationed health insurace. No they would never lie to us.
Just another move to punish those evil businesses and grow government. It should be unconstitutional to tax any business for any purpose.
They just believe whatever the Dhimmis throw at them because they are so grateful to them for the miserable government checks they receive, which they are always being told that the Republicans want to cut.
