During the first Clinton administration we looked at and rejected nationalized health care. We thought it was a bad idea then and feel the same way today. Now the Democrats and the “smartest President ever” are going to force it into law. They are going to pass it without having read the final bill … because there is not one (this trend has to stop), and disregarded the will of the people.
They are betting that after they go against our will that we will find out just how wrong we were about not wanting to nationalize healthcare. They foolishly believe that Americans who have not purchased healthcare insurance in the past will be grateful to be forced to buy insurance now under penalty of law. Americans will have to first pay for health insurance before paying for food, shelter, clothing, utilities, and transportation. Some families don’t buy healthcare insurance by choice because they can afford to pay for their healthcare needs without spending money on insurance. All Americans can purchase healthcare insurance today if they so choose, but they do not. There are several reasons, but mostly because, 1) they don’t want it, (2) they don’t think they need it, or (3) they cannot afford it. Making those that cannot afford it buy it is not going to make their lives any better … in fact, it will add to their burden and cause them even more unhappiness.
It will make insurance providers happy. Anytime the public is forced to buy a product, it creates a revenue stream that did not exist before and it lessens risk and softens business losses. The cost insurance companies take on is more than counter-balanced by the new policies they will sell. Why? … because now you will have to buy healthcare coverage whether your employer offers insurance or not. Many companies will opt to let you buy coverage on your own … Why? … because they will no longer have to offer insurance to retain employees. You will by law have to get it … whether you want to or not. The Democrats (and Republicans, for that matter) are not telling you that. Insurance providers count on you never (or almost never) filing a claim. Most of us, especially younger people, will go months (if not years) with little need of healthcare services. Insurance has always been a product that we purchase to protect ourselves. We don’t buy it to protect others, or to protect other insurance providers, or to protect our government. Nationalized healthcare is all about protecting government interest, not yours.
I will not say that we do not have troubles. Medical cost are high, but nationalizing insurance will not change that. The next step will be to nationalize healthcare providers … that is where cost is most expensive. Here is where government, or I should say the current leadership in DC, is looking at next. Controlling healthcare providers is how Washington will move into directly controlling you. You will be forced to adhere to government standards, just as our men and women in the military are forced too. Once the government is allowed to force you to buy health insurance, they will be able to force you to do anything … that is fundamental change … that, my friends, is tyranny … and that is where we are headed if we do not stop them now.
There you have it.
Pass it along if you like or let me know if I don’t have a clue

As we speak, the AG's from 37 states are preparing to file suit against the Federal government under the Interstate Commerce statute. This is far from over. "We will muster to its bugle as the door of reason closes by the heavy hand of tyranny..." as restated by Gerry Adams, a person who knows a thing or two about tyranny.
