Barack Obama took some heat from House liberals yesterday on healthcare reform. One interesting exchange took place between Obama and Rep. Barbara Lee. Lee is upset because a government option does not appear in the Senate bill, which the president has endorsed. According to Lee, Obama said that he still "strongly supports" a government option, but that there aren't enough votes to get it passed. But then Obama went on to say this ... Obama said that the current healthcare legislation is a "foundation," and that he would work with the Congressional Black Caucus "on the next effort."â¨
â¨What has your friend the Talkmaster been telling you? It's clear that the Statists can't get everything they want right now ... so they have crafted a bill designed to put the seeds of destruction into our present health care system. Once the mandates, the penalties and other onerous restrictions and demands of ObamaCare go to work on our present system the collapse will be inevitable. In just a few years the Democrats believe they would be able to say to the American people "See, we tried! We tried halfway measures to reform health care, but they didn't work. Now we have no choice but to go the distance ... to move to a single payer plan."
You do know what single payer is, don't you? Just a clever, non-threatening way to say "government takeover."
It is a testament to the success of government education that the vast majority of the American people don't realize what is actually going on here. The dumb asses .. the government-educated dumb asses ... don't realize that this isn't about providing you with health care. It's about controlling your health care. When the government controls your health care, the government controls you.
