While everyone here should celebrate, and this is indeed good news, keep this in mind:
Obama and his bots intend for this health care legislation to fail.
He has stated before, (I’ve even heard the speech several times) that he is in favor of single-payer health care for all and nothing less will be his goal.
The legislation that was passed, now commonly referred to as “Obamacare,” was intended to be a giant clusterf*ck.
That was the plan. Create a creeping govt takeover that is bound to be atrocious. When the system becomes really bad, the govt can step in with an “I told you private involvement will harm the US healthcare system.”
Suddenly we find ourselves with a government run plan.
I wouldn’t celebrate until after the looney left is out in 2012.
I agree.
However the mode of the bill was to poison the profitability of private healthcare.
I can go into detail as to how this is to occur, but leave it to be that the war is a financial one, and if successful (even if its repealed, much of the private healthcare industry is starting to crumble due to the last 15+ years of gov involvement as a payer) and the federal gov will be left with a decision on whether or not to “bail out” the private healthcare industry.
A capitalization program that would require more ink than the pacific ocean and would make all previous bail out and recapitalization plans look like pocket change.
If national bankruptcy was a concept, it will be a cold hard reality when trying to recapitalize healthcare.
