Yesterday was a truly bizarre day. Senate Finance Chairman Sen. Baucus released his health care bill, only to have Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader say that it won’t work for Nevada. That doesn’t make any sense.
Here’s Harry’s quote:
“While this draft bill is a good starting point, it needs improvement before it will work for Nevada," Reid said in a statement. "During this time of economic crisis, our state cannot afford to shoulder the second highest increase in Medicaid funding."
I’m not a Democrat, but if I were, I’d be ticked off at these guys. How could Baucus not get the Senate Majority Leader onboard before releasing his bill. I thought this bill was a priority. It’s like they are acting like they don’t want to pass a health care reform bill…
The answer is simple. The elitists financiers of “Move-On” and multiple tax-payer funded “community organizations” have overplayed their hand in their rush toward “National Socialism for the USA and maybe the world” their abject contempt for the common man (taxpayers) has blinded them into a sanctimoniou heady euphoria of being above the law and common decency ad nauseum. When their victims (us) resist their societal garote, they unleash their professional race baiters to put the stifling boot on the neck of the uppity malcontents to try to finish us off. It is indeed nauseating what political operatives have made of the political parties. Change we can do without.
This is exactly why we need to slow this President and his policies down until the 2010 elections so we will be more balanced (as I believe most Americans are sick and tired of this administration. Where in the Constitution does it say that the Congress is allowed in our Health Care? Answer: It doesn’t. Let’s face it, Medicare & Medicaid are broke and over the years the Federal Government has stolen most of Social Security so, I have no confidence that they are capable of running Health Care any better.
The reality is that government spending on MediCare and MediCaid represents 50% of total healthcare spending. Government has two choices in order to rein in costs…. one, get out and let the private sector run itself or take healthcare over. Government’s inclination is always to expand their power over the citizenry.
Pure private sector healthcare with respect for plastic surgery and lasic surgery clearly shows that market efficiencies will always prevail when there is no insurance available for these medical procedures. Costs for plastic surgery and lasic have come down over the past decade as new technology has allowed for lower prices per procedure from a decade ago.
Government chooses to ignore the truth instead plowing ahead with their singular mission being to have more power over all of us.
Every day the obese are under attack. We hear how the obese must do this and do that…. well, it would be real nice to see the same judgements drawn on those capable of working who instead collect welfare and remain on the public dole for years.
