November 7, 2009

If you ever read history, you'll find that where it is recorded, like during many Roman administrations, grand economic schemes and experiments proved disastrous. Now liberals are going to enact the worst bill ever, again.

This is an economic bill. It is more like wage or price fixing and currency inflation. That is the kind of effect it will have in the end. We can say goodbye to all the medical talent just like other socialist countries have done. Real medicine will probably go the the SE Pacific. Why can't data and facts replace rhetoric when politicians face the people? Has any of these harebrained ideas ever worked in the history of the world? For example, is China's economy now doing as well as it recently is, apart from the beneficial and fundamental free-market forces that true communism supposedly fights against? No. China, despite its radical and bloodied past, had to get practical.

If you think medicine costs too much now, thank the past US federal governments controlled by the liberals throughout our short history. Every economic scheme since our nation's founding has been a disaster, including the "New Deal". Our national debt is the legacy. Our bloated federal agencies, and the high cost of living are caused by all of this. Medical expenses are driven high by the courts, and also by the effects of many ignorant regulations. There are many regulations that are redundant when there is a free-market and freedom of press. (The courts have blocked the spread of bad reputations in business, so blatant lying is mostly protected now.)

Company provided insurance first became popular only because the government tried to freeze wages in the past. If third-party payers had never caught on, we would be just fine right now.

I will rather not vote at all, than ever vote for a candidate who has, or in my opinion ever will support such an absurdity as this bill. Obviously if this passes, I will be looking to support and vote for candidates who will promise to repeal it at the earliest opportunity.
