Do not be fooled by a little cut here or a bit of chip off a corner of any government run health care plan. Anything and in any amount that passes, will grow to the point of strangulation within 10 years of less.
This is their plan. Cut it back from 1.5 trillion to 1 trillion or even 650 billion. Makes no difference folks. This is all about controlling you. Call your senator and congressman. Speak up now!
AP Senate Dems pare back health bill
Despite the cost-cutting, the proposal backed by Sen. Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, requires most individuals to purchase coverage and forbids insurance companies from denying it on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions.
The brief outline did not specify how the government's costs would be covered, although Baucus and many Republicans favor a tax on certain employer-provided health benefits. The Montana Democrat has said he intends to hold the cost of the legislation to about $1 trillion, well below the $1.6 trillion estimate the Congressional Budget Office made of an earlier set of options. more
Wow! 1 trillion sounds sooooo much better than 1.6 trillion. I can rest easy now.
'Shock the Monkey' Healthcare
By Andrew Thomas
Unfortunately for all Americans, government-run healthcare has more ominous components. First, it will be impossible to extricate ourselves from it once it is implemented. It will become like the alien in Spider-Man 3, weaving itself into our being, our culture, and our collective psyche. Any attempt from a conservative politician to undo or even modify it will be met by liberal accusations of trying to "deny healthcare to _____". Fill in the blank with "the poor", "minorities", "immigrants", or "all Americans", depending on the target constituency. This has been a very effective liberal fear tactic as used to preserve the imploding Social Security system from those evil Republicans who want to take it away from the elderly.
This foreshadows the truly horrific final destination of government-run healthcare. With prohibitive costs (over $1 Trillion in new taxes to start the program) on top of an already self-destructing economy sagging under the weight of $12 trillion in debt, the result is impossible to ignore. There will be rationing, just like in Jimmy Carter's gas station lines. Talk about "malaise", you ain't seen nothing yet. read the rest

Government guidelines may harm health care
Federal bureaucrats are about to formulate health care guidelines with considerable razzmatazz, and the shining dream subscribed to by many medical economists - and accepted by some politicians - is that complex medical problems can be solved by blue-ribbon panels. read more
