“liberal pipe dreams”
I think fascist super-Romneycare has a good chance of passing. There is little outrage in the so-called “conservative” opposition. Little, that is, after the phony public option “threat” fell away. Once that went, mostly crickets.
There are the Rushbots who got whipped up into a frenzy to be misled about the real bill. But I concluded there are a lot of self-identified conservatives who are really economic fascists, they love anything that enriches their business cult CEO idols. The health bill is a public/private partnership with the federal government working as tax collector/jailer for those who do not buy insurance. These people do not mind the idea of their tax money going to private companies, with a skim kicked back to the politicians as campaign contributions and otherwise, in order to buy insurance for other people.
For the whole series of Zero dollar bills, go here:
Yep. They sacrifice us so the Crats won’t have health care for an issue anymore. Then whine cause we won’t support RINOS. Ughhh! They make me sick.
Anyone who can read, comprehend, and is not a socialist can see that the house bill would be a disaster. Proponents of national healthcare have talked of a public “option”. Looking closely at the house bill, it’s not so optional. It starts out optional but after a period of time, individuals and employers have to show they’ve switched to a govt approved plan and the premiums are quite high.
There are lot of valid criticisms of nationalized healthcare. 1) Why would employers NOT drop health insurance coverage for their employees under a system where the govt will force everyone not covered to buy insurance? 2) How do private ins companies compete with an entity that has an unlimited amount of money via deficit spending? 3) How many people will decide to go into medicine once most everyone is in a single payer system? The reason so many doctors do not accept medicaid and medicare is because the amount paid to doctors is so little. People are not willing to invest their time, money, and tireless efforts to be paid peanuts and we will end up with a serious shortage of high quality doctors like what has happened to Canada. There are so many problems with this that I’d be typing all night to respond to your post.
