Government takeover?
Hardly.
The Obama HC bill was the greatest gift our government could have given to FOR PROFIT insurance companies.
The fact that the Republicans didn't want Obama to get a political win, doesn't in any way change the fact that all Obama's so-called solution really did was make the government SUGARDADDY to a PRIVATE INDUSTRY.
That's not socialism, folks, that's pure GRAFT masquerading as government-sponsored social welfare.
Absoultely right! If they had done something to change the delivery of care, this might not have stunk so accutely of the bare faced grab of money that it is, but it didn't.
All this does is put the government in the pay line between the patient and the doctor and the thieves who have done so much for us in terms of graft, corruption, bribes and pay offs will now have a new revenue stream to steal from.
If they wanted to provide paid for health care for the 30% of Americans who do not have paid for health care, it seems that a good place to start might be to provide paid for healthcare for the 30% of Americans that don't have paid for health care.
That they chose to steal from the money that pays for the paid for healthcare of the other 70% of Americans, lied about this throughout the debate, continue to lie about it today, will not actually divulge the details until the Waivers are granted and will not actually define the changes for the average guy tells all you need to know.
What will it cost the $20K/year income guy with two kids to buy the mandated policy?
