This article presents the real danger I see in all this "chicken-little" crapola being espoused by the media and Liberals in Congress about the economy. While many are being distracted with the lunacy of the Pork Barrel stimulus package being forced through Congress without any bi-partisan input, the Leftists are busy stealthily crafting the ultimate Liberal agenda; to nationalize the American healthcare industry.
Don't presume for a minute that Democrats are done ruining the American economy with a $2 trillion deficit and strangling future generations with debt and inflation. This legislation will bury the American people in well beyond the $2 trillion debt we have already been forced to swallow as being needed.
In the end, the plain reality is that the Government will have no other choice than to raise EVERYONE’S taxes in order to pay for the Liberal largess being foist upon the American people using the fraudulent argument that this is the ONLY way Americans can recover.
It may not be an income tax, but be called a healthcare insurance plan much like Social Security Ponzi scheme is called Social Security Insurance.
Europeans, no matter their income levels all pay a 15 to 17% health tax. In addition, their minimum personal tax rates start at around 22%. When you are done adding all the tax bills Europeans pay, it amounts to more than half their income. What do they get for all that largess? Higher unemployment, lower GDP growth and prices double what we currently have in America and the kicker is LESS CHOICE. Why would anyone with a BRAIN want the same as Europe?
Here are some excerpts of the story and a great article of this stealthcare effort by Liberals:
Democratic Stealth Care
With the nation preoccupied by the financial crisis, Democrats have been quietly working to nationalize health care.
Tom Daschle is still waiting to be confirmed as secretary of health and human services, not that he's in any rush. Democrats are already enacting his and Barack Obama's agenda of government-run health care -- entirely on the QT.
This was the real accomplishment of this week's House vote for the $819 billion "stimulus," and is the overriding theme of Congress's first month. With the nation occupied with the financial crisis, and with that crisis providing cover, Democrats have been passing provision after provision to nationalize health care.
If Democrats learned anything from the HillaryCare defeat, it was the danger of admitting to their wish to federalize the health market. Since returning to power, they've pursued a new strategy: to stealthily and incrementally expand government control. "What no one is paying attention to in the [stimulus]," says Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, "is that Democrats are making a big grab at the health-care sector."
It began one week after the swearing-in, when Nancy Pelosi whipped through a big expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program. The Schip bill was Democrats' first stab at stealth expansion, unveiled in 2007, though vetoed by George W. Bush..........
Add it up, and Democrats may move 10 million more Americans under the federal health umbrella -- in just four weeks! Good luck ever cutting off that money. Meanwhile, the Democratic majority is gearing up for a Medicare fight, where it may broach plans to lower the eligibility age to 55. Whatever costs accrue, they'll pay for by slashing the private Medicare Advantage option.
Mr. Obama will, of course, offer his health-care reform at some point. But he's clearly happy to get what he can, when he can. Despite talk of entitlement reform, he's voiced no disapproval of this vast new health-care grab. And don't forget he chose Mr. Daschle, who appreciates stealth himself. In his 2008 book outlining his health-care reform, he offers his party two pieces of political advice: Move fast, before there can be a public debate, and write as vague a bill as possible.
Guiding all of this is the left's hope that by the time America wakes up to what's happening, it'll be too late. Democrats might be on to something.
