Democrats’ healthcare scheme is pure insanity
By Kyle-Anne Shiver
Whole industries and banks are biting the dust; unemployment lingers close to double-digits; government deficits rise like a mountain of nuclear waste; the communist Chinese are buying up our debt in anticipation of God knows what kind of future demands upon us; and more soldiers die needlessly while the President dithers with his golf game. Purely mad social engineers — Obama, Pelosi & Reid — are on a determined march toward nationalizing one-sixth of the entire American economy. Their scheme will have far-reaching effects on 100 percent of the men, women and children in this Country. The whole idea is patently ridiculous, especially in light of the host of other impending disasters.
But the fact that these Democrat power-mongers are attempting to foist upon us a system already tried-and-failed so many times in so many places pushes the current national healthcare debate into the realm of pure lunacy.
As one of Einstein’s most oft-quoted bits of genius reminds us, doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results, is insanity.
In his determined efforts to persuade a resistant public, President Obama has offered exaggerated horror stories about our own healthcare system. He has cited phantom doctors amputating healthy limbs for profit, doctors unnecessarily removing children’s tonsils, as well as a few sordid stories about the failure of health insurance companies to deliver on their promises. But turning doctors into greedy villains and insurance companies into monsters has proved a bit difficult, since more than 80% of Americans consistently report satisfaction with both.
It’s much easier to find horror stories from the medical delivery systems being touted by Democrats as the far warmer and fuzzier “options.” Those models often cited include Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Japan and New Zealand. Amy Ridenour and Ryan Balis, of the National Center for Public Policy Research highlighted 100 individual nightmares rendered by these failing healthcare systems in their book, “Shattered Lives.”

I just hope we are able to make some money off the paper wasted writing this convoluted, hypocritical, outrageous, humiliating attempt to swindle all Americans.
I’m sure this was said about Medicare in the past. Not one elderly person would be willing to give up medicare for private health insurance today. Health care should not be something that is only for the wealthy.
Well, Judy, if this new proposal becomes effective, Medicare will be supplanted.
Medicare is a program we invested in throughout our life and that is the crux of the matter, not that the seniors want to cast it aside, we paricipated in it and without private insurance backing it up, it amounts to very little from its original intent.
It was put in to protect us when we grew old, but has evolved into a system which is unregulated by those entrusted to oversee it.
It and SS is the Enron of government programs. Blame is on both parties shoulders.
Seems that there is alot of “visitors” making their way to the back door of the White House these days. Alot of Socialists and Marxists to. Even Bill Ayers, who Obama doesn’t really know! Below is the website that show who logged into the WH.
