Re: Obama Zeroes In on Health-Care Coverage With Stimulus ...

[Guest guest]

Nationalized health care isn't about looking after the people: it is all about power and control.

If the government controls health care, it has the ultimate power of life and death over the people. Government can ration care any way it wants, giving more to its supporters and denying it to those who oppose the government. You can bet whatever the care that the elites will have access to whatever they want, including the new treatments that will come from stem cell research and all, but the rest of us can just go die.

What do I see happening?

1. All private insurance is outlawed or made prohibitively expensive. You many be able to pay out of pocket, but that will simply drive people into crushing debt and some kind of government dependency, which is the plan.

2. Alternative therapies and treatments will be banned, maybe even over the counter medicines in time. Why? Alternative therapies might actually work better and more safely that the drugs the big companies the government would probably by this time own do. Also, if every time you have an ache or pain you have to get treatment for it at a clinic, the government can track you and finally decide that you are "too sick" and cut off coverage.

Other things too, but I'm not going into that right now.

How is Obama going to pay for this?

WITH MORE DEBT!!!

Obama is going to pay for all of this the same way bad leaders have always paid for their grandiose schemes: he's going to fire up the printing presses. They'll print until inflation because painfully obvious to everyone. Then they'll print more to make up for the inflation, which of course only makes the inflation worse because there is so more money chasing fewer and fewer goods and services. Once that current estimate of $65 Trillion of government obligation starts kicking in its going to stomp on the economy and grind its foot. And the way things are going, that $65 Trillion is going to be $100 trillion within two years. Don't scoff: it already doubled from $30 trillion in 2000 and Obama got an easy $1 trillion this week alone between his stimulus package and the mortgage bailout.

How did people not think this was going to happen? All of these commercials on TV about getting the government to pay for everything from Diabetes testing stuff to powerchairs and scooters? How did people think that the government was going to pay for their retirement through Social Security when they could see their own parents and grandparents getting a pittance from it? I can tell you from my mother's experience that Medicare wouldn't pay squat for you for anything serious, but it will pay out for little things. I guess maybe that was because she "had too much money and assets," which is a big joke.

Well, maybe they can use some of that money to pipe in a laugh track and the "Hey, Hey, Hey, Goodbye" song at the hospitals when all these people who voted for all of this get denied care.
