If you read my articles periodically, you will find that I have been opposed to the government runned health care bill from the start. My reasons have always been rooted in substance. At this moment, most Americans are feeling sick right now, and on the flip side, some people are feeling pretty good now. But will the moment’s feelings carry on for years to come?
This bill was just another indicator that showed us where our current elected official’s loyalties lie. They are...

I encourage everyone who opposed this bill to send this article to the people you know who supported this bill, or simply ask them if they really thought it was worth what's coming?
It will totally screw us since we are with a great Medicare Advantage company that will be put thwm out of business since they are a non profit and the Advantage programs are their only business and the are a non profit.
Russian quip from the fifties..”They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work”......if not actually recalled or known, it will come to pass here quite naturally anyway. “There is no cure for a fatal disease” (did Yogi Berra say that?)is self-evident.
I imagine I’ll benefit by having considerably less disposable incoming to worry about saving.
As a productive citizen of the former United States of America, there’s ABSOLUTELY NO UPSIDE to the passage of this bill. It’s 100% bad news.
The problem with this Democratic scheme of socialized medical welfare is, to quote Abraham Lincoln, “there are too many pigs for the teats.”
The ones I know honestly don't think that that way. And I'm talking about the smart well-educated productive ones. They tend to be rather emotional when it comes to being jealous of the "rich" even if they themselves live in the upper-middle class. They think the "rich" are screwing everybody over. That most of their fellow white people are racist. That there should be permanent job security (on their six-figure income jobs). It's not rational and it feels like a waste of time to try to even use rational arguements with them.
Yes. I am mostly surrounded by these types as well. God help us!
You need a better class of friends and associates
The problem with this Democratic scheme of socialized medical welfare is, to quote Abraham Lincoln, “there are too many pigs for the teats.”
These people are not democrats , they are communist.
If you want to fully understand their plans read Bill Ayers communist manifesto “Prairie Fire” He estimates they will need to kill 25,000,000 Americans to fully accomplish their goals.
Any guesses who they sit on those death panels?
America better wake up ... we are sort of lucky the actual health care in this bill doesn’t start for 4 more years.
It’s a sign of the times. When you stated that, “It’s not rational and it feels like a waste of time to try to even use rational arguements with them.” you so laid into something very dynamic.
-When you replace rationale for blind loyalty, you become a follower, a “useful idiot” if you will.
-When you replace substance with style, your decisions become cosmetic.
-When you replace God with self, you get no solid foundation for anything, and begin being driven towards the image of the light, driven by God’s greatest adversary.
-When you replace wisdom with foolishness, you become easily convinced that your delusions are actual reality.
Those are associates. Like I said, these are the well-educated ones (engineers, MBAs). And old enough that they should know better. Surprisingly, the younger ones (20’s), and foreign-born are more conservative. They know that socialism fails in other nations.
Are the younger, foreign born conservatives from nations where all of this crap is in full effect? My sister’s boyfriend is from Germany, and he has a lot of interesting things to say about it. He has cap and trade, health care, the whole thing. When he met my parents for the first time, he was surprised at how much stuff we owned. The fact that we had all that we had was very foreign to him. We take it for granted. If we want to buy something, we buy that something.
But my question to you is, are they conservative because of experience, or are they learning it the hard way, knowing all that will be required of them if socialism is enacted?
IMHO, younger people tend to be more idealistic, so many are learning from experience. Some, like friends from India or China know what full on communist society was like (even if they were just children at the time, or learned it from their parents). Their homelands are moving toward more greater freedom albeit slowly.
I’ve met a few from Scandinavian countries who dislikethe US’s “excess”. They are minds are full fledged socialist.
