My assertion has been that if Barack Obama and his band of neosocialist followers want a European style socialism, they should move to France, rather than trying to enslave all Americans under that system. It appears, I have an answer on why they don’t move. France is now trying to be more like America with an American-style health care system.
The Wall Street Journal reported
In recent months, France imposed American-style “co-pays” on patients to try to throttle back prescription-drug costs and forced state hospitals to crack down on expenses. “A hospital doesn’t need to be money-losing to provide good-quality treatment,” President Nicolas Sarkozy thundered in a recent speech to doctors.
So, now the new question is, why would Obama and his haughty backup singers want to give us a system that is demonstrably failing?
I believe the answer is simple. I said it before. I repeat it now. This has nothing to do with health. If Congress cared about your health, they would put themselves under the same plan. This has always been and will always be about greater government control of each person’s life. We see by the way Congress acts, they do not believe laws pertain to them. They take their bribes, circumvent the Constitution, pollute/use more energy than 98% of Americans. This is one more case where they will be above the laws intended to crush the will of the people.
When the government controls health care, it will be able to successfully legislate every aspect of our lives. Take for example the abuse of the Interstate Commerce Clause. After perverting it, Congress discovered it had the power to regulate how much wheat a farmer can grow for his personal consumption. If they pass this health care, they will be able to decide how many children you have. The czar of Obamaland’s Ministry of Health can say, “Besides adding to your carbon footprint, having children costs the government a lot of money. You have had two children already. We’re afraid we must perform an abortion so that other women with less children can have another. It’s only fair.” On top of that, when government controls all health care, they can and will use the ”cost-cutting” argument as they reach into other non-related things. For example, by banning Twinkies from store shelves (or any food, drink or drug from a manufacturer who does not give a large enough bribe), Congress is saving taxpayers money by preventing the overweight people from getting heavier and having heart attacks. See how much they love us? Of course, their congressional closets will be jam packed with Twinkies, Hoho’s, Suzy-Q’s, chicken fried in trans fat, cigarettes, cigars, dip, snuff, beer, bourbon, life-saving meds, and a bunch more. We can’t expect the laws to apply to them. They are there protecting us from ourselves and (insert evil corporation name or industry here). Part of defending us from our desires means they must take every measure necessary. As for those things in the closet, you needn’t even look at them or give them a second thought… they are there for research purposes only.
