Few things government does well. Most things, those things it has no buisness doing in the first place, it does poorly. To add Universal Health Care to the list would be one of those things it would do poorly.

Think about what it does. Think about what you have to go through when you have to interact with your government for services. Do you really want this same government managing your heath care?

Maggie Gallagher sheds some light on the real deal in Truth About Nationalized Health Care

How hard can it be to offer a universal health care plan? “John Edwards had a plan, I had a plan, Chris Dodd had a plan, Dennis Kucinich had a plan, Bill Richardson had a plan. Because we’re Democrats …” Clinton said.

But Obama, in his Bob the Builder campaign designed to appeal to the toddler in every American, offers a plan that is all gain and no pain: subsidized health insurance for anyone who wants to buy it, whenever they want to buy it. More money, more choice, no cost. Gee, what’s not to like?

Nothing, except that Hillary is correct. Obamacare can’t possibly work, because it doesn’t make sense to buy insurance when you are young and healthy if you are guaranteed access anyway when you are older and sicker.

When a politician offers to do something for me, I always ask how much freedom is it going to cost me?

One more thing, deny this fact and you are only fooling yourself.

Here’s the other dirty little secret: National health insurance is going to cost Brandy and other taxpayers a whole lot more than either Hillary or Obama admits. Just ask Gov. Deval Patrick in Massachusetts, where just two years into operation, the state’s mandatory health insurance plan is already costing $400 million more than budgeted.

I think John Edwards just split his pants to the point that they cannot be repaired.

He is proposing in a new commercial that if Congress does not pass Universal Health Care he will take it away from Congress out of spite. The problem is, he can’t do that.

What an idiot!

He is the extreme of the democrats and fortunately for us all, has not a chance in Hell of ever being president.

It seems the democrats will try again to expand a decent program into a disaster. Even though I have issues with the current program. To expand it to include less than deserving people is just too much.

This was a mistake in the first place. Thanks Republicans. To allow it to expand even more just puts us all that much closer to Universal Health Care. To fund it with extreme taxes on cigarettes is the biggest problem of all. Where do you think the funding will come from when that well drys up? They certainly won’t cut funding. They never do.
