We are being crushed by big government

5 Comments

It will get bigger

People need an education about the ramifications of much of Obama's agenda. His health care plan is the conception of socialism in American society. These blind followers in unions do not realize that his proposal passively diminishes their collective bargaining. As BO said everyone that "doesn't like their plan can join the same plan that Senator McCain and I enjoy".
Problems:
1. We taxpayers foot the bill for that one.
2. Health insurance is a free enterprise, the US has 2 national plans Medicare and the Veteran's Administration.
3. His proposal will devastate health insurance companies.
4. As proposed, employers will be encouraged to offer substandard health plans so tha employees will opt for the government plan. This is simple business economics.
5. This reduces the labor unions bargaining clout for health benefits, which is always a point of negotiation.
6. The plan infringes on state's rights, since each state legislates their insurance.
7. Health care insurers are both nonprofit and proprietary. Proprietary plans are public entities with stockholders their loss will once again effect the economy. Nonprofits are the generators of health insurance.
8. The financial debacle will impact the economy and employment.
9. It creates a further disparity in healthcare for Medicare and Medicaid recipients.
10. This plan will create astronomical financial and tax burdens for his precious middle class (us).

I wish we could get a grass roots campaign to get this message out! This reality might change minds!
AND as an FYI,
BO did not come up with the electronic medical record (EMR). It was incorporated into the Medication Error Reduction Act (MERA) in 2001 by a republican congress.

Thank you for your comment. I run a site called liberal-education.com and a blog called http://liberaledu.wordpress.com/
both are about exposing liberal bias in colleges.

I would love to post your comment as a guest blog if that is okay with you. Your comments just make Obama's plan seem that much more dangerous. Thanks again.

Feel Free too pass it on...

Sorry,computer meltdown.

Here is more info:
The Council on Medical Education (2003) not a 54% decline in enrollment for primary care physicians and a similar decline for internal medicine. This means that healthcare access will diminish because of lack of providers and a converse incrase in "Baby Boomer" patients.
Socialized medicine will make the breadlines of the depression look short. Obama wants quantity over quality.
It did not work in Canada, it failed in Germany, and it will delay medical advances.

I posted your blog at liberaledu.wordpress.com. What do you think of all the stuff about Obama possibly not being a citizen?

It's a hoax

Nothing would surprise me!
