Obama Not So Smart on Healthcare

- Scott Miller

My apologies for being “out of the pocket” the past couple days… between the job that pays, two great kids that deserve a Dad’s attention, and a couple days of R&R where I started reading the Great One’s, Mark Levin’s, newest masterpiece “Liberty and Tyranny” (book review coming soon… let me just say, you have to buy this book) … getting in front of the laptop was tough to do.

That said, I’m back and ready to take on the statists, as they are on the verge to attempting to ram through socialized healthcare and a huge national energy tax that the eco-commies are pushing hard.

Today Obama held (surprise) another press conference where he said amongst other things, this:

Now, I’ve always though that Obama was a relatively bright guy, but I gotta’ tell ya’, I’m not so sure after hearing this answer. Can it be that his blinding love for all things government has his common sense this cloudy?

He thinks he’s being clever when he mock the critics saying that ‘they’re afraid of competing with a public option and yet they say government can’t run anything… that doesn’t make logical sense to him’… I really don’t think he gets it.

Of course anyone with a shred common sense can see that if a so-called “public option” (read government healthcare) were allowed to compete with private insurers, private insurers will be out of business in no time. Why? It’s simple…. the government doesn’t have to make a profit to stay in business. Period. Look around… Obama thinks he can spend and print as much money as he wants, national debt be damned. So what’s to keep the government insurance company (who said Obama’s not a socialist) from putting up a gold-plated plan at a very low cost, subsidizing the cost through government debt… which will ultimately force private profit-driven insurance companies out of business.

This is their real plan… this is how they plan to backdoor a national, one size fit all, rationing, poor quality, socialized medicine plan in America. They know the American people wouldn’t go for a Canadian/Britain style plan if they try to do it on the up-and-up, so the statists scheme to backdoor socialized medicine through the innocuous sounding “public option” plan.

Don’t believe me? Here’s a Democrat Congresswoman, Jan Schakowsky from Chicago, saying essentially the same thing… from Breitbart.tv:

Dem Congresswoman Admits Obama Health Care Plan Will Destroy Private Health Insurance Industry

“I know many of you here today are single payer advocates and so am I … and those of us who are pushing for a public health insurance don’t disagree with this goal. This is not a principled fight. This is a fight about strategy for getting there and I believe we will,”

Interesting that the YouTube video of her admitting the strategy has been pulled down… hmmmm.

Here’s the Heritage foundation explaining how their backdoor plan is currently structured:

Morning Bell: The Unprincipled Fight for Government-Run Health Care

Recent SCHIP expansion and additional Medicaid funding in the stimulus package made a substantial down payment on major expansion of government run health programs. Established research shows that a public health plan will ”crowd out” private insurance, forcing millions of Americans off their current plans, and away from their family doctors. A public health plan, coupled with Comparative Effectiveness Research, would engineer artificially lower prices for medical services through the imposition of Medicare-style price controls. Such Medicare-style payment levels would undercut the market share of existing private health plans, and, combined with a mandate on employers, stack the incentives against workers in private employer-based health insurance by encouraging their employers to dump them into a new government-run health plan. Watch the video of Rep. Schakowksy’s statements on The Foundry. She clearly admits that the purpose of the government run option is to kill private insurance so everyone eventually is forced into government-run health care.

Moving all Americans into a government-run health care system will not only bankrupt our country, but will lead to less innovation in the health care sector and lower quality care for all Americans. There is an alternative. Some of which the Obama Administration even supports like removing the tax benefit of employer-sponsored health care coverage which will untie Americans health care coverage from their employers and help move the country towards a truly market based consumer driven health care model. Health care coverage can be expanded in a cost efficient manner, but only by empowering Americans to make health care decisions with their doctors.

Now watch that clip again, and see if you find Obama credible when he say ‘oh yeah… you’ll be able to keep your private plan… no problem’…

Obama Not So Smart on Healthcare

Obama Decries “Fear-Mongering” on Healthcare, as He Fear-Mongers Himself

- Scott Miller

This guys is too much… the Statist is always in a hurry, and Obama is no different. As he races to socialize our healthcare system, today he is in front of the American Medical Association. From his speech we get these two headlines… this from the AP:

Obama hits ‘fear-mongering’ on health care changes

CHICAGO – Pushing again to get the health care system overhauled, President Barack Obama is arguing that people must beware of “scare tactics and fear-mongering” that have killed such efforts in the past.

Obama said “we know there are those who will try to scuttle” the program no matter what. He said that “because these fear tactics have worked, things have kept getting worse.”

Then there is this one from Reuters:

Obama: Government could go broke if healthcare not fixed

CHICAGO (Reuters) – President Barack Obama, making his case for healthcare reform to America’s doctors, said on Monday the U.S. government could suffer the same fate as troubled automaker General Motors and go broke if the healthcare system is not fixed.

“When it comes to the cost of our health care,” Obama told the American Medical Association, “the status quo is unsustainable.”

So in the same speech the Obamarxist on one hand decries “fear-mongering” by his opponents, and on the other hand fear-mongers himself. This from the guy who has perfected the art of political fear-mongering to get his agenda passed.

Plus, note to Obama THE GOVERNMENT IS ALREADY FREAKIN’ BROKE!… or did you somehow miss your $2 trillion deficit?

Hugo Chavez Mocks “Comrade Obama” for Nationalizing GM

- Scott Miller

Last week we had Pravda calling Obama a Marxist, and this week we have Hugo “if it moves nationalize it” Chavez mocking Obama… ‘hey Fidel, careful or we’ll be to the right of Obama soon’… too funny… this is a must watch:

Obama Bails Out GM with Our Tax Dollars, Who Will Bailout America?

- Scott Miller

Today Obama used our kids future paychecks to bailout the UAW and GM. During his teleprompter-fed speech today, Obama said this:

Promising “the beginning of a new GM,” President Obama today announced that General Motors was entering bankruptcy protection, and that the federal government was giving it an additional $30 billion, making taxpayers a 60% owner of the auto giant. “Understand we’re making these investments not because I want to spend the American people’s tax dollars, but because I want to protect them. Instead of taking so much stock in GM, we could have simply offered the company more loans.”

Obama continued, “But for years, GM has been buried under an unsustainable mountain of debt. And piling an irresponsibly large debt on top of the new GM would mean simply repeating the mistakes of the past. So we are acting as reluctant shareholders — because that is the only way to help GM succeed.”

The president also stressed that he has no interest in running GM. “GM will be run by a private board of directors and management team with a track record in American manufacturing that reflects a commitment to innovation and quality,” he said. “They — and not the government — will call the shots and make the decisions about how to turn this company around.”

Sooo… let me ask this really silly question… how is it that the brilliant Obama (savior of the world…  able to leap over buildings… sorry got of track there) suddenly seems to understand how detrimental massive debt can be? I mean seriously, for fun, let’s swap out the word “America” for “GM”… it would sound like this:

“But for years, America has been buried under an unsustainable mountain of debt. And piling an irresponsibly large debt on top of the new America would mean simply repeating the mistakes of the past. So we are acting as reluctant shareholders — because that is the only way to help America succeed.”

You see, in Obamaland it’s OK to bury the country in debt (as he piles another $10 trillion in Obama debt on the shoulders of our kids) because we can just turn on the printing presses, right? Wrong. The same economic principles about unsustainable debtload that applies to GM, applies to the United States government. So the question must be asked… who will bailout America?

Also, calling the new GM board a  “private board of directors”, is an out-and-out lie. With the American and Canadian governments appointing the vast majority of the directors to the board, there is nothing “private” about it. He just wants to be able to blame someone else, “the private board”, when this whole thing fails again.

Obama is so arrogant with his say-one-thing-and-do-another approach, it’s just plain silly now. How he can think anyone, other than Pravda (our MSM), believes him when he says ‘he doesn’t want to run GM’ is beyond me… that is exactly what he wants to do, and that is exactly what he will be doing.

And at the end of the day, this is just delaying the inevitable… GM is toast, both the old GM and the new GM. Americans will instinctively turn away from buying vehicles made by the government… same holds for the new Chrysler. Our tax dollars are being thrown down a rat-hole.

Seems to me Ford has a tremendous opportunity to gain mega market share here… let’s see if they can get their act together enough to capitalize on it.

You Know It’s Bad When Pravda Calls Obama a Marxist

- Scott Miller

If you are a regular reader of this site, you know I call our so-called “main stream media”, Pravda. I do so because they are so in the tank for the Democrat party, that they are just another appendage of the party… a state run media if you will, or Pravda.

So when Drudge had an op-ed headline on his site from the real Pravda (Russian state-run paper), it caught my eye, and is an excellent 3rd party look at America’s quick move toward Marxism under president Obama.

I am reprinting the piece in it’s entirety, as it provides a perspective that all Americans should read… this from the real Pravda

American capitalism gone with a whimper

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their “right” to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our “democracy”. Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different “branches and denominations” were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the “winning” side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the “winning” side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America’s short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama’s command that GM’s (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of “pure” free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a “bold” move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK’s Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our “wise” Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper…but a “freeman” whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set “fair” maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.  

In their own quirky way, Pravda has hit on many salient points, and Americans would do well to heed the warnings of those who know what it is like to live under the tyranny of a Marxist regime.

The rest is here:
You Know It’s Bad When Pravda Calls Obama a Marxist

Looking to Foreign Press for Truth About America’s Economic Condition

- Scott Miller

With Pravda slobbering all over themselves to get into Obama’s good graces, we have to look to the foreign press for the straight story about the dangerous debtload that Obama and the other statists in Congress are heaping on this nation. This from the Financial Times:

Exploding debt threatens America

Under President Barack Obama’s budget plan, the federal debt is exploding. To be precise, it is rising – and will continue to rise – much faster than gross domestic product, a measure of America’s ability to service it. The federal debt was equivalent to 41 per cent of GDP at the end of 2008; the Congressional Budget Office projects it will increase to 82 per cent of GDP in 10 years. With no change in policy, it could hit 100 per cent of GDP in just another five years.

“A government debt burden of that [100 per cent] level, if sustained, would in Standard & Poor’s view be incompatible with a triple A rating,” as the risk rating agency stated last week.

I believe the risk posed by this debt is systemic and could do more damage to the economy than the recent financial crisis. To understand the size of the risk, take a look at the numbers that Standard and Poor’s considers. The deficit in 2019 is expected by the CBO to be $1,200bn (€859bn, £754bn). Income tax revenues are expected to be about $2,000bn that year, so a permanent 60 per cent across-the-board tax increase would be required to balance the budget. Clearly this will not and should not happen. So how else can debt service payments be brought down as a share of GDP?

Inflation will do it. But how much? To bring the debt-to-GDP ratio down to the same level as at the end of 2008 would take a doubling of prices. That 100 per cent increase would make nominal GDP twice as high and thus cut the debt-to-GDP ratio in half, back to 41 from 82 per cent. A 100 per cent increase in the price level means about 10 per cent inflation for 10 years. But it would not be that smooth – probably more like the great inflation of the late 1960s and 1970s with boom followed by bust and recession every three or four years, and a successively higher inflation rate after each recession.

The fact that the Federal Reserve is now buying longer-term Treasuries in an effort to keep Treasury yields low adds credibility to this scary story, because it suggests that the debt will be monetised. That the Fed may have a difficult task reducing its own ballooning balance sheet to prevent inflation increases the risks considerably. And 100 per cent inflation would, of course, mean a 100 per cent depreciation of the dollar. Americans would have to pay $2.80 for a euro; the Japanese could buy a dollar for Y50; and gold would be $2,000 per ounce. This is not a forecast, because policy can change; rather it is an indication of how much systemic risk the government is now creating.

Why might Washington sleep through this wake-up call? You can already hear the excuses.

“We have an unprecedented financial crisis and we must run unprecedented deficits.” While there is debate about whether a large deficit today provides economic stimulus, there is no economic theory or evidence that shows that deficits in five or 10 years will help to get us out of this recession. Such thinking is irresponsible. If you believe deficits are good in bad times, then the responsible policy is to try to balance the budget in good times. The CBO projects that the economy will be back to delivering on its potential growth by 2014. A responsible budget would lay out proposals for balancing the budget by then rather than aim for trillion-dollar deficits.

“But we will cut the deficit in half.” CBO analysts project that the deficit will be the same in 2019 as the administration estimates for 2010, a zero per cent cut.

“We inherited this mess.” The debt was 41 per cent of GDP at the end of 1988, President Ronald Reagan’s last year in office, the same as at the end of 2008, President George W.?Bush’s last year in office. If one thinks policies from Reagan to Bush were mistakes does it make any sense to double down on those mistakes, as with the 80 per cent debt-to-GDP level projected when Mr Obama leaves office?

The time for such excuses is over. They paint a picture of a government that is not working, one that creates risks rather than reduces them. Good government should be a nonpartisan issue. I have written that government actions and interventions in the past several years caused, prolonged and worsened the financial crisis. The problem is that policy is getting worse not better. Top government officials, including the heads of the US Treasury, the Fed, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Securities and Exchange Commission are calling for the creation of a powerful systemic risk regulator to reign in systemic risk in the private sector. But their government is now the most serious source of systemic risk.

The good news is that it is not too late. There is time to wake up, to make a mid-course correction, to get back on track. Many blame the rating agencies for not telling us about systemic risks in the private sector that lead to this crisis. Let us not ignore them when they try to tell us about the risks in the government sector that will lead to the next one.

Excellent take. Americans need to wake up and start getting active. We need to at least take back control of the House of Representatives, and make a sizable dent in the statist majority in the Senate. Let’s get to work.

Obama: The First Black Jimmy Carter

- Scott Miller

When you think of Jimmy Carter, aside from a rabid anti-semite, what do you think?

For me, its:

• double digit unemployment
• double digit inflation,
• double digit interest rates (20%+)
• high taxes
• an onerous government
• high energy prices
• incoherent energy policy
• price controls
• weak on defense
• disastrous foreign policy
• and a blame America first mentality

Things were so bad economically during the Carter years that a new measurement of economic conditions was born, the Misery Index. It measures the toxic combination of high unemployment and high inflation… a one-two punch that leaves Americans facing the toughest real economic challenges… no jobs, and the cost of everything is outrageously expensive.

And since Pravda, and the Obama administration itself, can’t seem to keep his race out of national discussion… we’ll play along with their terms and call Obama the first black Jimmy Carter. I mean the guy seems to have taken all of Jimmy Carter policies, and put them on steroids.

Do we have double digit inflation yet… no, not yet, but it’s coming. Do we have double digit unemployment? Almost, and we are heading there shortly. This the AP:

Obama warns U.S. may face long-term joblessness

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Americans could face higher unemployment for some time to come, President Barack Obama warned on Wednesday, underscoring the tough challenges the country faces even as the economy shows signs of stabilizing.

“One of the things that we’re wrestling is how do we deal with job creation and employment,” Obama said.

“The concern that we have is that even in a stabilizing situation there is the prospect of higher unemployment for some time to come,” Obama said, noting the decline of U.S. manufacturing and changes in the global economic picture.

The U.S. unemployment rate rose to 8.9 percent in April, the highest since 1983, following months of heavy job losses stemming from the global financial crisis.

You see, Obama is so arrogant he thinks that he can defy history. I mean, all he has to do is look to the Reagan years to see what policies lead to economic growth and job creation. Personal tax cuts. Business tax cuts. Reducing the burden of government regulation, etc.

Obama is moving in the exact opposite direction, yet expecting the same results that Reagan got. It won’t happen, and it defies logic.

Obama simply can not talk his way out of the laws of economics. When he forecasts doubling our nations debt over the next 8 year, an addition $10 trillion, there is simply no way to get out from under that massive of a debt, other than monetizing the debt (printing your way out of debt).

And by monetizing debt (massively devaluing the dollar), we will see massive inflation, and double digit interest rates… Obama’s own version of the Misery Index will be well in place by the end of his first, and as I predict, his only term.

Obama’s New Car Tax: That’s $1,300 More Per Car You’ll Be Paying

- Scott Miller

I don’t remember Obama promising to raise the cost of the average car by $1,300  if he was elected… do you? But that is exactly what he proposed today this from the AP:

Obama takes aim at climate-warming car emissions

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama took aim at climate-warming greenhouse gases on Tuesday and ordered the struggling auto industry to make more fuel-efficient cars under tough new national standards to cut emissions and increase gas mileage.

Growing public support for efforts to battle climate change and the weakened state of the U.S. auto industry, which is staying afloat through federal bailouts and restructuring at the government’s direction, gave Obama a window of opportunity to impose the rules.

First of all, what a dumb-ass headline… I like mine much better. This is not at all about “climate change”. This is all about government control over another sector of our economy with a bunch of no-nothing politicians central planning our lives away.

Secondly, these lib-hacks at Pravda just make crap up to try to propagandize to the average American. There is no evidence of  ”growing support for efforts to battle climate change”, but that doesn’t stop the dumb-ass reporter from pulling that out of his fat keister. In fact the exact opposite is true. This from Rassmussen:

 The new survey also finds that 39% of voters believe global warming is caused by human activity, up from 34% in April. However, 44% say long-term planetary trends are most to blame for global warming. Last month, 48% cited this reason.

Despite the rise in voters who say human activity is to blame, the overall results represent a complete reversal from a year ago, when 47% blamed human activity and only 34% blamed planetary trends.

Then we have Obama today promising that you will pay an extra $1,300 for your next car, which will be an equavalent of a modified golf cart:

The plan was praised by automakers, environmentalists and an array of politicians, but it will mean higher price tags for consumers. The new program will add about $1,300 to the price of producing a vehicle.

Obama said car buyers would recoup the money with the lower fuel costs realized under more efficient mileage standards.

“Over the life of a vehicle, the typical driver would save about $2,800 by getting better gas mileage,” he said.

Boy those central planner in the White House are brilliant are they not… “hey, hey Rahm! I’ve got a great idea! Who cares if auto sales are down 50% from last year, lets raise the cost of a car by $1,300!… It’ll be great… the eco-commies will love us!”

So you pay $1,300 more NOW, and get the promise of a politician that it’ll save you more than that over the life of the car…. because they are just so good about predicting the future cost of things right? Guess this gang never heard of the old saying “A bird in the hand (keeping my $1,300 thanks very much), is worth two in the bush (supposed saving down the road). “

Obama’s New Car Tax: That’s $1,300 More Per Car You’ll Be Paying

Obama’s Schitzo-Economics

- Scott Miller

This from Bloomberg.com

Obama Says U.S. Long-Term Debt Load ‘Unsustainable’

May 14 (Bloomberg) — President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries.

“We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children’s future with more and more debt.”

Holders of U.S. debt will eventually “get tired” of buying it, causing interest rates on everything from auto loans to home mortgages to increase, Obama said. “It will have a dampening effect on our economy.”

Earlier this week, the Obama administration revised its own budget estimates and raised the projected deficit for this year to a record $1.84 trillion, up 5 percent from the February estimate. The revision for the 2010 fiscal year estimated the deficit at $1.26 trillion, up 7.4 percent from the February figure. The White House Office of Management and Budget also projected next year’s budget will end up at $3.59 trillion, compared with the $3.55 trillion it estimated previously.

Two weeks ago, the president proposed $17 billion in budget cuts, with plans to eliminate or reduce 121 federal programs. Republicans ridiculed the amount, saying that it represented one-half of 1 percent of the entire budget. They noted that Obama is seeking an $81 billion increase in other spending.

Entitlement Programs

In his New Mexico appearance, the president pledged to work with Congress to shore up entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare. He also said he was confident that the House and Senate would pass health-care overhaul bills by August.

“Most of what is driving us into debt is health care, so we have to drive down costs,” he said.

So Obama supported the $700 billion Bank bailout that Bush signed. Then comes into office and immediately pushes a bill to spend another $1.3 trillion as a payoff to all his constituencies under the guise of a “stimulus” plan. Then he sends to Congress a $3.6 trillion one year budget… and now suddenly he begins to get the hangover from his massive spending binge, and he is calling for spending restraint? Talk about schitzo-economics!

But the last line is extremely telling… “Most of what is driving us into debt is health care, so we have to drive down costs.” So medicare and medicaid are driving us into debt, but these are entirely government run healthcare programs. According to Obama’s twisted liberal logic, having government take over everyone’s healthcare will somehow miracuolously bring down costs with no impact on quality. If gov’t run healthcare costs are out of control now, just wait until they get their hands on the whole system.

The fact that our existing gov’t entitlement programs are driving us into debt doesn’t deter the statist, no he wants to create the mother of all entitlements with a national healthcare entitlement. Somehow the statist believes that he’s got a better plan. A plan that will defy the history of every other nation that has gone down the road of national healthcare. It won’t.

The fact is that national healthcare system are systems of inferior care, they are systems of long waits for basic treatment,  denial of life saving treatments, and rationed care for all. This is inevitable because the only way that the government can effectively control costs on such as massive entitlement is to limit care. It is what they are doing today with medicare, and it is what they will do with a national healthcare system.
