While there is a larger supply of homes and american made automobiles currently on the market than the public wishes to consume, health care is still seemingly in short supply. Through government sponsored insurance programs, Obama and his accessories would like to offer a portion of that supply to those that don’t currently have insurance. The “problem” they say is that the less fortunate can’t afford it. Actually that is only half the problem. The other half of the problem is that there isn’t enough health care being produced to MAKE it more affordable. Artificially allowing more people to take part in consuming the current supply must cause it to become more in demand. Unless the price goes up the “health care” industry itself will see no financial gain because the current supply of care will just be divided up between more patients, which will necessarily take more time. With no financial gain there is no incentive for any members of the industry to produce more of what the people want. The democrats like to use the word “hope”. Maybe if we all hope really hard the laws of economics can be ignored without consequence just this once.

If this Government Sponsored health plan is passed i believe it to be the begining of socialization. If we go back to the days when Fidel Castro took over Cuba, you will see the same happening in this country. Try to go to a town hall meeting here in town….you can’t!! because our fearless Senator “Dingy” Harry Ried mandated it to be over the phone instead of in person. This way they can screen your calls and mute you if you get through. The Dictatorship is here. I hope the people that voted for President Obama are happy. Welcome to Cuba. I can’t wait until they go for our guns next. I’m moving to Thailand.
I’m afraid that the beginning of the socialization of the United States started many many years ago. Socialism is like a disease, that left untreated will eventually become total communism. “Graduated income tax”, “central bank”, and “public education for all children” are planks of Karl Marx’ “communist manifesto”. They are some of the basic underpinnings of socialism, but they have been in effect for so long in our country that most people accept them as part of a free society.
