I've seen polls form 60% to 80% against, but they still voted for their own agendas and ignored the voters' word.
ReplyDeleteNow another 16% of our economy is going to be taken out of our checks until they will really have to start paying for reality when they will have free reign to pull more money out of your check to make up for their fraud and overpayment.
Prepare for your lack of saving for any retirement whatsoever, and clown down to believe that Uncle Sam will take good care of you in your retirement after he takes your house away.
You are entitled to something, the politicians say, simply because it exists and you want or need it -- period. You are entitled to be given it by the government. Where does the government get it from? What does the government have to do to private citizens -- to their individual rights -- to their real rights -- in order to carry out the promise of showering free services on the people?
ReplyDeleteThe answers are obvious. The newfangled rights wipe out real rights -- and turn the people who actually create the goods and services involved into servants of the state. The Russians tried this exact system for many decades. Unfortunately, we have not learned from their experience. Yet the meaning of socialism (this is the right name for Clinton's medical plan) is clearly evident in any field at all -- you don't need to think of health care as a special case; it is just as apparent if the government were to proclaim a universal right to food, or to a vacation, or to a haircut. I mean: a right in the new sense: not that you are free to earn these things by your own effort and trade, but that you have a moral claim to be given these things free of charge, with no action on your part, simply as handouts from a benevolent government.

If you are in generally good health, drop your insurance, pay the fine of 2% of income, negotiate with your doctor for routine office visit costs,pay cash out of pocket, and get treated as necessary with $4 a month generics.
ReplyDeleteStash the $500 a month you'd spend on insurance.
When and if catastrophic illness befalls you, go out and buy insurance, unencumbered by restrictions on coverage based on a "preexisting condition"
Screw the government.
