What Lesson Have We Learned?

What lesson have we learned over this Death Care debate? A very simple truth that has finally been clearly defined. There is no such animal as a moderate democrat. If there is a D next to the name, they are a radical liberal.

What is my proof? The ease at which it seems that Harry Reid of all people can buy votes from the likes of Ben Nelson and Mary Landrieu. All it took was a couple of million in additional Medicaid funding to grab these idiots who have sold out an entire nation in direct opposition to the wishes of their constituents.

Benny – I have news for you Benny. The people of your state are already planning your political demise because you have turned your back on them in favor of enacting America’s version of Articles 42 and 43 of the Soviet Constitution.

Article 42. Citizens of the USSR have the right to health protection.

This right is ensured by free, qualified medical care provided by state health institutions; by extension of the network of therapeutic and health-building institutions; by the development and improvement of safety and hygiene in industry; by carrying out broad prophylactic measures; by measures to improve the environment; by special care for the health of the rising generation, including prohibition of child labour, excluding the work done by children as part of the school curriculum; and by developing research to prevent and reduce the incidence of disease and ensure citizens a long and active life.

Article 43. Citizens of the USSR have the right to maintenance in old age, in sickness, and in the event of complete or partial disability or loss of the breadwinner.

The right is guaranteed by social insurance of workers and other employees and collective farmers; by allowances for temporary disability; by the provision by the state or by collective farms of retirement pensions, disability pensions, and pensions for loss of the breadwinner; by providing employment for the partially disabled; by care for the elderly and the disabled; and by other forms of social security.

That’s right campers. This whole distorted idea that health care is a right stems from the Soviet Union. It was pushed heavily by the likes of Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton. Many of whom had heavy majorities in both houses of Congress and couldn’t seal the deal. It took a confirmed Communist in the form of Barack Hussein Obama to stick it through to passage.

Even Bill Clinton saw the political death associated with passage of universal health care in 1993 so he shelved Hillarycare. But not Barry. Oh No. Barry made this his one goal. If he could accomplish one item that would do more damage to the nation formally known as the United States he would do it with health care. Because he knew that heath care was the key. It is currently 1/6th of the economy and is about to become a larger share.

Companies whose workers are represented by labor unions are going under at a remarkable pace. Why? The costs of health care are bankrupting these companies. Unions will not budge on them and companies can’t pay for them. So what happens? Unemployment.

There is nothing in the Death Care bill put forth in either chamber that has a hope of lowering costs. If anything, it will dramatically increase the cost of coverage. Why? Because there is nothing reigning in the out of control litigation happy trial attorneys.

Costs are going to rise. Taxes are certain to rise because of this legislation. And as for the uninsured… Well about 24 million of the touted 30 million uninsured will still be uninsured.

This bill is front loaded with taxes to pay for it. And before you buy into the low estimated 10-year costs keep one thing in mind. There is 10 years worth of taxes in that estimate but only 5 years of coverage. The actual costs for 10 years worth of coverage will be about triple the number the CBO scored it at (and this is a conservative estimate).

People between Medicaid, Medicare, and this new sham of a bill, the US health care system will in all likelihood be over 2/3rds of the federal budget by the time this thing is fully implemented. The unfunded liabilities of this nation are staggering. At a point when this nation is in an already deep recession, it is unfathomable that this government is considering – much less implementing – a massive increase in entitlement spending. There is only one department these pinheads ever consider cutting – defense. Can we really afford that in a post September 11th world?
