    We didn’t need Obama or Obamacare to destroy capitalism. Capitalism is self destructing on it’s own and for some of us it is not a big surprise. It is not a sustainable system and just like peak oil we now have peak capitalism. It is on it’s way out and I say thank God because although some of you think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread, all it has done is make some people very wealthy but always at the expense of the masses. Not much has changed only the titles from Kings to CEOs. We can do better than that.

    I realize that some of you always need to blame someone for the mess we’re in when in reality we are all responsible for this mess. And Wayne no amount of overuse of “isms” will make it so. But what I find despicable is your ever present underlying tone and code words that hide your true intention. Face the ugly truth, even though you don’t know it, you are still a racist, plain and simple. You and the other ugly-american numb nuts currently running don’t even come close to deserving the office of the President of the United States.

    Repent.

    To all of you who are denying the American people this right, I say right because how can you pursue happiness without health, and who fight on the side of this corrupt and way over priced mafia sick care industry, which is why we ended up with the convoluted compromise which you now conveniently call Obamacare, I say shame on you. You are responsible for this mess.

    Oh and by the way!
    A single payer non-profit open healthcare system using the already existing Medicare/Medicaid structure is the easiest and most cost efficient answer.

      LOL!!! If this isn’t a brilliant example of socialistic non-sense then none exists!! LOL!!! “A single payer non-profit open healthcare system using the already existing Medicare/Medicaid structure is the easiest and most cost efficient answer”. LOL!!! Most cost efficient? LOL!!! Where oh where has this little boy been? You are so far out of the ball park you can’t even see the bleachers. Oh yes, I know, I’ve really got you riled up now. Think I’ll just sit back and wait for the fireworks. . . :)

      • Karolyn

        Why couldn’t it work, Sirian, if Medicare and Medicaid were straightened out with regard to all the waste and fraud involved?

    Remember this for all these ObamaCare supporters, this law is not about healthcare, it is all about CONTROL! If this law becomes reality then there is nothing that the Government cannot mandate you to buy. If the all powerful government can get CO2 declared as a pollutant then there is nothing stopping this out of control 5th column in our society. Many more need to wake up before it is too late!

      HMMM. How come all these laws were written by conservatives? Yep, each and every one of the things you complain about. Oh, and unless you actually understand the science and the economics behind them, quit spitting out platitudes and abuse at the wrong people. BTW, all the conservative constitutional scholars happen to disagree with you and the last time I checked that list didn’t include anybody on Fox News. You can’t trust the main stream media, they are complicit in all the skullduggery and they are not part of any liberal bias, what BS.

    The chicken little republicans running in circles lamenting the sky is falling all while opposing any action to help our country recover from the collapse they caused during the Bush administration. Even opposing their own proposals if Obama agrees use that idea

    • s c

      Comrade ‘c,’ when you finally understand the difference between a ‘Republican’ and a conservative, you can come back and try to wow us with you childish mental garbage. Until then, kindly stick it wherever it’s comfy, comrade.
      While you’re at it, learn the difference between facts and opinions. It would be great to have a utopian on this website who knows at least THAT much.

      • nc

        SC, what differences do you know exist between a Republican and a conservative? Who do you consider the leading conservatives in US history?? I’m waiting.

      As I read through the threads of this group, my heart is sickened by the bitterness, anger and hopelessness that I hear. Some hate the Republicans and some hate the Democrats. It is all we have or why don’t some of you start a new political group and work like the devil to get 15 people to follow you. Life is what it is and you either make that which is upon us better or you become a bitter, hateful person to be around. America has turned into a Godless country and that is the #1 problem we have. We have left the God of the rights for doing everything our own way. This country needs to get back to the roots of our forefathers and see the reason and a big need of God. You can talk about a problem until there is nothing else to say or you can pray about that problem and leave it with God and see results happen. It is that simple. The way that is being done is the hardest way to try to live life. In our own efforts. I am active with the Republican Party and they are not perfect because all are just humans. Most of the ones I know are Christians and have a need for someone greater and more capable than they are. I urge you to try it. You are all failing in your own strength and that is the way man is designed to do it. All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way. That is what I hear out of the people on this group. I pray I never get like that because my hope is not in myself but in God to clean up America. When I was growing up, most people saw their need for God. And slowly time eroded that need for so many and now man is going his own way. So we have opinions after opinions but no solutions. Why do you think Obama has failed? He intended to happen what has happened. He came into office to make a socialistic country our of a democracy and so far has failed. But God is giving us another chance to change to turn to Him. We are just like Israel was. But if you don’t get your thinking straight and stop this blame game and just make prayerfully thought out solutions for our country, we will continue to go our own way. I for one don’t intend to do that with any part of my life. I will continue to support the Republican Party with all the different humans and opinions. Who ever told any of you that a political party was the answer. It is the people in that party that come up with answers and hopefully prayerfully. You can scoff all you want but this is the way that seemeth right unto man but the end is death. Death of our Republic. Death of our way of knowing how this wonderful country can be. Pray, pray and pray more and God will deliver us in due time. There is no other way of Obama would have tried it. God bless each of you richly and that these thoughts might get into that hardened heart and seek a better way.

  • Alan Woods

    Hmm, where to start, actually I believe it has to start with Nixon, and taking the US off of the Gold standard. Some could argue that it started in 1913 with the creation of the private bank, “The Federal Reserve”. In this presentation it points to Obama and some balls rolling with the Clinton Administration but the hard truth is that we have been rolling toward this moment for sometime. The common man just had no idea.

    So, to Cliff Cox, no we can’t fix what we have because we, the US, and the World are Bankrupt. Depletion of refined fuel and the production of useable oil will not allow the economies of the world to continue the Infinite Growth Paradigm that the world has followed for centuries. Remember the savings in loan debacle in the late 80’s, a bail out by the government of commercial banks? And the fact of the undeclared wars in Afghanistan and Iraq triggering the bailout of Wall Street under George W Bush and Sec. Treasury Paulson (former CEO of Goldman Sachs) with the Federal Reserve secretly creating Trillions and loaning them to Commercial Banks across the Globe unbeknownst to congress or the public of the United States who are on the hook for all of that money?

    No, a simple election will not solve the problem because the GOP establishment is in just as deep as the Democrats establishment. Look at your 3 GOP hopefuls, more war, big government, and promises to get the economy going… It’s been said that the only difference between Obama and Romney is skin color and hairstyle. And consider, what difference in war or economy between Obama and G. W. Bush?

    Hang on; it’s going to be quite a ride. But hey, I could be wrong

  • Paul

    What a bunch of BS !

  • http://hbledbetter@gmail.com Henry Ledbetter

    Wayne Great post and in my opinion right on target. Obamacare is already being felt in our neck of the woods as cutbacks are already happening but for the most part people here understand who is behind it. We had a lady yesterday that has a nineteen year old son with a disability that has $700 drugs that have been cut off. At least she understands it is Obamacare that is pulling the strings. I will try and find a natural remedy that can help him but even they may be to costly for some. I would recommend everyone get as healthy as possible and get off all drugs if possible. My wife and I are drug free and are still uncovering natural remedies that can help us remain that way. We asked The Lord for His Wisdom and believe He has given it to us. “We have not because we ask not.or we ask amiss to consume it on our own lust.”

  • Power To The People

    I too believe Obummercare is unconstitutional and should be struck down by the court. Many ills of our current medical insurance system could be addressed via restructuring of the insurance offerings back to some personal liability for the day to day office visits and providing “major medical” for the emergencies and major illness…much like the policies offered in the 60′s.

    Frankly, there are no easy solutions. There are far too many people who refuse to take any personal responsibility for their welfare; the truly poor who can’t afford medical insurance; the people who want it all but don’t want to pay the freight. These are tough issues….but are they issues the government directs us how to solve?

    • http://www.facebook.com/rstsummers Rebecca Turley-Summers

      Do you have any idea how much money you would need to make to afford medical care under that model? More than you’ll ever see.

      • Windrinker

        When the government got involved in medical care, the costs to the patients sky-rocketed! Believe it!

      • Myra Zuckerman

        Hi- Actually this is to WINDRINKER. I am one of the unwashed masses. Except I do shower daily, have one 40 hour week job and 2 part time jobs. So no freeloading here. I will not collect social security until 70 years old, and will be working for the rest of my life God willing my health remains. Currently I am 60 years old.

        I have worked all of my adult life except when I was unemployed. During that time I collected 256 a week and worked part-time—applied to 100′s of jobs, many many rejections;.. All people I know and have known have worked hard to get employment during unemployment . It is a frightening experience. Who can live on unemployment???? I also used retirement funds during that time with basic expenses. Where are these ideas coming from about people who are unemployed? And all these people getting hand-outs?

        For people who have to worry about themselves or loved ones not getting good health care the new health care reform is deeply deeply appreciated.

    • Karolyn

      We have a non-profit medical corporation here with, I believe, 8 offices that is thriving while servings thousands of people in this lower socio-economic area. They charge on a sliding scale for those with no insurance and offcer a wide variety of services. When I arrived here with no money and in need of assistance, I was able to avail myself of a doctor, counselor and get bloodwork done for $15, as long as it was all done in one day. I was even able to get an ultrasound done for $15. It has gone up to $20 over the past 7 years. The corporation is doing very well and stands as a model for how things can be done.

  • Myra Zuckerman

    Before the new health care reform bill I had “preexisting conditions” of a Caesarean at my daughter’s birth and was refused admission into Harvard Pilgrim. When I became pregnant in mid April my new insurance began May 1st. My pregnancy was called a pre-existing condition and I was told the whole pregnancy would not be covered by my policy. Ten phone calls later I managed to get my pregnancy covered with much fighting

    I know what it is like not to be covered. It is frightening and believe me no one cares if you are not getting the necessary care and you must be a real fighter to get care.

    Many people simply will not get care, die, or remain unwell when there is care available that they can’t get for themselves or their families.

    I am a fighter, born in this country, very educated. If I was less of a fighter I would not have had my pregnancy covered. At the time I had my own business and was working 60 plus hours weekly. How would you have helped? I would have been on my own and in big trouble.

    • bigjeff1

      Myra,

      Unfortunately there is an underlying theme behind all of these attacks on “Obamacare”. It is a bizarre notion that none of us has any responsibility for anyone but ourselves and that somehow we are entitled to great care without paying to establish a system that can provide it. There is also this strange suggestion that those without insurance can get great care from clinics and pharmacies. Add the nonsense that people who are healthy today should not carry insurance until they get sick (Scalia) and it is no wonder we see people willing to throw others under the bus and blame them for getting run over.

      • Windrinker

        bigjeff, did you get your government check this month? Just checking…

        ObamaSCARE has you reprogrammed and it is obvious that you know nothing of which you speak. Quit embarrassing yourself. ObamaSCARE is only for the unwashed masses, no one of any consequences will have to use it… You HAD the best healthcare system in the World. You won’t have the care you could get from a Vet School Dropout, with obamaSCARE…..if you can even get that.

        And, YES, this country was built on personal integrity and taking care of one’s own responsibilities. You communists feel that you are entitled to sit and do nothing, while everyone else provides for you…Get off your butt and pay your own bills. No one wants to take care of you..

    • mags

      I am truly sorry for your plight, but really do you really thnk you are going to be anymore covered with this obama care. As a new senior I am frightened because he is going to ration our health care If you listen to the news they are already reprogramming us about healthcare, telling us we don’t need to have a mammogram every year or a pap smear how do you feel about that rationing is going to happen and if you become a senior chances are you are not going to have much insurance but will have to pay thru your nose to be covered.

    • Elevenarrows

      Myra,
      My husband and I are small business owners and have eleven children. We have no health insurance. We have interviewed several companies, but we would have premiums (for the most basic policy) of $2000 per month with a $10,000 deductible. That means that we would have to spend $34,000 before receiving any benefits and even then, only catastrophic injuries would be covered. We could not afford to do that. So, we pay out of our own pockets (gasp) for any surgeries, etc. we have to have. My husband has a $15,000 + kidney stone every 5 years…you could set your clocks by it.

      The point I’m making, Myra, is that yes, it is upsetting to not have coverage. It is disturbing to know that with one tragic car wreck, we could have multiple family members injured which would be upsetting…and costly. However, we are not willing to stomp on others freedoms (or our own) in order to demand the government provide us with things they were never intended to give us. We want our government to do the job they were designed to do: defend us from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. I don’t want them to feed the poor or give us insurance or free education…or health care. I don’t want them to manage my retirement fund. They will never perform any of those functions as well as churches and charitable organizations and families can.

      If you will study history, you will see that all these needs were met (and quite well) before the government usurped those functions. I don’t think you intend to want handouts. I suspect that you paid for insurance and wanted it to cover your pregnancy. I completely get that. I, too, have had my share of fights with insurance companies prior to us starting our own business and not having insurance. However, we have got to get past demanding that government solve our problems. From a purely business standpoint, surely you can see that if insurance companies are forced to accept any and all pre-existing conditions, their costs will dramatically increase. It will become difficult for some companies to remain solvent. Companies will fail. When there is little competition left, the consumer will have fewer options. Before long, almost all Americans would be forced to rely on government-provided healthcare. I assure you, that would be a far more disturbing scenario than you have just faced.

      Americans have got to get to the point where we look at the big picture and put responsibility back where it belongs….on “We the people”. The only real responsibility government has to us is to protect us and they are so busy doing everything else that they are doing a HORRIBLE job in the most important task they have.

      • Donna Sangsiri

        your comments were very well written and I enjoyed reading what you had to say. If everyone felt the way you do we wouldn’t be in the fix that we are in now. It’s too late to do anything. The writings on the wall but unfortunately only a few of us are able to read. Thank you for taking the time to write.

    • Karolyn

      mags – If you did a little research, you would find that all the testing that is done is not necessary and can, in fact, be harmful; so limiting testing is a good thing. Another thing is that if we each take responsibility for our own health, do the research necessary and treat our bodies right, we don’t need healthcare. The human body is designed to heal itself given the right circumstances. I can tell you from experience that much of what doctors want us to do or take is absolutely not necessary. Upon finding out I had Hepatitis C over 10 years ago, I was urged by a gastro to take chemo. After doing my research, I refused and began a regimen of supplements and vitamins, as well as changing my diet. The only reason I go to the doctor is for yearly bloodwork to be sure my liver is functioning properly; and it hasn’t let me down yet. There are so many ways to treat illness and disease other than buying into Big Pharma. Attitude alone is half the battle in winning over disease. There is a proven mind-body connection. I recently turned 65 and declined Medicare Part B for $96 per month. Besides the fact that my income is rather on the low side, I just don’t believe in it. As far as any prescription plan goes, screw that! I refuse to bend to the belief that we all have to be on drugs for one thing or another. Bottom line is that people need to be better educated and NOT listen to everything a doctor says. They are not God like that gastro I had thought he was.

      • One-Angel

        I agree with you Karolyn, and I work in healthcare. The best doctors are telling people how to stay healthy and keep from getting sick, and when they do get sick they are telling them how to get well without all the drugs, surgeries, etc. Getting older does not have to mean getting sick and decrepid. The overwhelming majority of illness is lifestyle related–easy to fix if one is motivated enough. I look to much older people who are healthy, vital, fit and still contributing to society. My favorite is model Oleda Baker who at 77 looks like she’s in her 40′s, still rides horses, paints, and runs her own beauty company. She has not had a face lift, and has the excellent health of a young woman in her 20′s and 30′s. She has nurtured herself well. Information and images of Oleda can be found on the net if anyone needs inspiration. Or, Dr.Bob Delmontique who is OMG hubba hubba at 85! I look to doctors like Dr.Joseph Mercola and Dr.Michael Cutler, Dr.Stephen Sinatra and Dr. Whitaker for REAL healthcare, not the overwhelming majority of doctors in the U.S. who just practice disease management and help you heal absolutely nothing. You want a really good, healthy life? Do your best to stay out of clinics and hospitals that practice conventional medicine. And, Obamacare needs to go to H E double hockey sticks.

        And, Louis Lemieux, what color is the sun on your planet?

      • Daniel from TN

        Decreased medical testing will not endanger anyone’s health. For many years doctors have been practicing what has come to be known as “defensive medicine.” The extra testing had nothing to do with diagnosis and treatment of patients, but to prevent medical malpractice lawsuits against doctors.
        FYI. A few states now limit the amount of punitive punishment that can be awarded in medical malpractice lawsuits. By some strange coincidence the cost of health care has decreased and the quality of health care has increased in those states.

  • Randy131

    I just watched an interview of Nancy Pelosi, where she says she told her Republican friends, which she claims she has many of, that they need to take their Party back from the radicals that are controling it now. Then I remembered what she said to Congress before the vote on Obamacare, that they had to vote on it in order to find out what was in it. How more radical can it be than to make the representatives of the people to vote on a bill that they are not allowed to read until they vote on it first? Her reasoning is simply, if they read the bill, they would fear what their constituents might do to their careers in the next election, having known what is in the bill they would probably not vote for it, knowing their constituents would find out after it was passed. And thats exactly what happened in the blood bath the Democrats took in the next midterm election, for not a single Republican voted for the bill and they won re-election handily, but not so Nancy Pelosi’s Democratic Party cohorts, who she forced to vote for a bill she would not let them read, to prevent them from knowing what was in it, that they would know their constituents were against. The CBO projects the bankruptcy of Medicare and Medicaid by 2020, and Social Security by 2030, if they are not reformed, but if Obamacare kicks in in 2014, with what they now know will be a trillion dollars added to the deficits each year, the country will not make it pass 2015 before it goes bankrupt, no matter any reforms to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Have you asked your friends and neighbors what they are going to do when the US Dollar is worthless on the global market, and how they will survive when that Dollar will pay for nothing? The national debt is projected to be 17 trillion dollars at the end of Obama’s first term, what will it be by the end of an Obama second term, if the USA survives that long? The radicals aren’t the Republicans, and since polls show that 72% of the American people are against Obamacare, they know who the true radicals are.

    • mags

      I could not have said it better. Amen tthat Randy.

    • nc

      Randy, how many Republicans would you guess, since 1860, have voted for bills that they had no idea what ALL they contained? Had not read every word or any word before they cast their ballots “for it”? Don’t blame Nancy for something that had gone on long before the heath care bill was called to a vote! I’m quite there are some Republicans and Democrats in the history of the House who have said later,”My Lord, I didn’t know I was voting for (or against) that.”

      • afdbghq

        nc, what happened to Obamas promise to have the most transparent administration ever? If he had kept the promise (which he never intended to do in the first place) he would have allowed congress and the American people plenty of time to read the bill before bringing it up for a vote. He also would not have conducted all the closed door/back room deals in order to bribe his own party to vote for the health care bill.

        This man (and I use the word man with a grain of salt) has lied to the American people from the first time he entered political life. His only goal is to expand the federal government and force it into every aspect of the American way of life.

        This liar-in-chief or pretender-in-chief is the worst president this country has ever elected. Way too many people fell for his rhetoric of hope and change without looking at exactly what hope and change he was talking about. The real meaning of his hope and change was that he hoped the American people would remain asleep until he changed the greatest/freest country in the world into a socialist third world country. Well, congratulations, he is well on his way to achieving his goal.

      • Daniel from TN

        You are correct, up to a point. There so many bills pending at any one time (over 10,000) that it is impossible for a representative or senator to read every single one of them personally. That’s what staffers are for. The difference between this and Nancy Pelosi is that her statement actually encouraged members of Congress to NOT read the bill. Pelosi and the Liberals placed the bill, all 2700 pages, on the House floor at 2:00 AM and wanted Republicans to have it read and be ready to vote on it just five hours later. Even a speed reader coldn’t read it that fast.

    Root’s credentials label him as a whack job radical right wing pseudo-conservative, which, quite frankly renders anything he says as hugely suspect.
    This guy is in the same league as Glen Beck, Laura Ingram and Rush Limbaugh who will say/do anything to keep their listening base riled up and tuned in. For them, it’s ll about the bottom line. Their bottom line.
    Until they prove to me they have the country’s best interest at heart, I must suspect anyone who makes a 6 figure income telling people what they want to hear, regardless of the facts.

      I tell ya DAvid you can’t be real smart. You are jealous that they make lots of money. You can’t stand it. Get real we are not here to hand out anything. They earned that money and you would love nothing better than to sit on your butt and have them hand you the money.

      “If you allow the banks to control the currency, them and the corporations that grow up around THEM, will be a bigger threat to your freedom than any standing army.”

      We’re getting a taste of what our founding fathers warned us about! The Fed and the mega ‘corrupt’ corporations they fostered. (not to be confused with normal corporations).

      • Windrinker

        The “privately owned” Federal Reserve Banks are one of this country’s greatest enemies and should be abolished! These global elite, multi-Billionaires own this country and we must buy our Dollars from them… They are the “Shadow Government” that runs this country.
        The reason people are paying attention to them now, is because they have decided it is time to break the back of our country and pave the way for the NWO. They have “their boy” in the oval office and they control our economy. They are devaluating our Dollar and stealing wealth out of this country by causing inflation.

    • Nancy in Nebraska

      David, someday you are going to wake up and realize that you’ve lost EVERYTHING! Then you will wish that we’d ALL listened to Glen Beck, Laura Ingraham and Rush Limbaugh. It’s a very unpleasant message that they have to deliver but true nonetheless. The things they’ve been saying are already coming true but you refuse to see! You are suffering from “cognitive dissonance”. It is a condition where you hear something so horrible that your mind just can’t accept the possibility that it is true. Study more, research, eventually your brain will be able to accept what is right before you. I’m not joking and I’m not trying to insult you. The more you research you will come to accept the truth. Don’t listen to the evil people who keep telling you over and over that which you KNOW is not true.

        Yes, I cannot believe how people are expressing such uninformed opinions on such important matters. The woolly, system-conditioned and illogical arguments are so symptomatic of how it is that someone like Obama and all his very bad ‘Skull & Bones’ predecessors were ever able to be successfully elected. If our leaders wanted world peace it could be achieved very quickly, if they truly believed in good government they would not be doing any of this stuff. Just look at the press from whom so many people on this forum are deriving their ridiculous ‘arguments’. it is all government-sanctioned propaganda. The press is not free, it is owned by 5 corporations, all government sponsored. Look at the alternative media everyone, it will change your life forever. And by the way, everyone needs to know that Obama, like bush senior are CIA. Don’t just say ‘birthers’ are nuts. Check out the evidence and get some facts. All his records are sealed – that alone should tell you something. The press will not touch it with a barge pole -ever wondered why? Wake up everyone!

    When we say that we need to have government intervention in any we start the snowball effect that cannot be stopped. Yes the health care in this country is expensive but if we can’t afford because we cannot make money and we suffer under the heavy weight of h\taxes and the unconstitutional weight of government mandated programs what is the use of having their help in any form. The only way is to trust in God for your health and be generous to the poor and give tithes. The government intervention with debt is twice as wicked when we as the people are silent about it. This Obamacare no matter what form is an utter failure. Thank you for letting me rant, Keep up the good work.

    All we need to do is put a price freeze on what doctors can charge. If they don’t like it they can go to another country to practice. The main reason we can’t cover indigents is because we don’t have the jobs. If we had the jobs everything would fall in place. This is another prime example of Obama trying to derail capitalism.

    • Windrinker

      Cliff, how about keeping this a sovereign country and “close our borders!” Don’t let every indigent in the world come here to suck all the benefits out of the system. Lets take care of Americans, the ones that have worked and paid into the pool, the ones that have earned what they get!

      You know, just because someone manages to get one foot on this land, doesn’t give them the right to everything for “free!” I don’t want to pay to raise other people’s kids, educate them, feed them, and pay for all their needs and more. Get everyone off the “tit” that doesn’t belong and there would be plenty of money in the system. We are top heavy with those that “don’t/won’t ever pay” anything into the system…It is unsustainable!

        It does not matter who is elected as president or to Congress anymore or governor or state legislature. All most people elected to office want to do is to become rich at the expense of the average American. They do not care what happens to our retirement systems, health care systems, living standards, etc. because they exempt themselves from all of these. They have their own retirement system and health care system. What needs to be done is to make these people fall under the same retirement system (Social Security for example) and health care system (ACA) they put in place for the rest of us. Take away all their perks and make them follow all the laws the average person has to follow (no insider trading, etc.). Do this and see how fast they actually fix the problems facing this country instead of giving lip service to them.

    • Windrinker

      Eric, most doctors are scrimping to try to take care of people. When you get paid $5.00 to treat a patient, that doesn’t keep the lights on or pay employees.

      We had the greatest healthcare in the world, what was to FIX? People from all over the world come to this country to be healed, because they know something that “you don’t know!”

      If people want the brightest and the best educated men and women in charge of keeping them alive and healthy…care-givers must be able to realize a reward for their efforts!

      Sure, there was some fraud, in the Medicaid and Medicare system, but with a little effort, that was easily stopped. There was no reason to throw the best healthcare in the world into the garbage! What you are going to get with obamaSCARE will be a government run fiasco, with rampant fraud and mediocre, if not worse, medical care.

      But I digress, this is has nothing to do with healthcare, and all about taking control of this country and every dollar created.

    • Nancy in Nebraska

      I think what we have to remember is that there are no “good guys or bad guys” in all of this. Both sides have conspired to bring us to where we are. It used to be that medical care was offered on a non profit basis. Hospitals were not allowed to profit and were required to show “need” for expansion or the purchase of major equipment. There were boards that would decide if a hospital needed to raise it’s prices to meet the needs or if they were just trying to compete and grow. Now, I’m all for capitalism. But not in health care. The leeches took over and got all of the “non profit” rules tossed out. Once health care came under the unbridled capitalists that’s where we became doomed. I think when it comes to absolutely necessary services, such as health care, utilities, etc… There needs to be regulation to prevent what has happened now. They can charge outlandish prices because everybody needs health care. They get together and “fix” the prices then all they have to do is wheel and deal with the insurance companies. None of them care about us, they just want as much money as they can squeeze out of us. And we don’t have much choice do we? It’s a matter of life and death. I think they need to go back to health care being operated as non profits!

      • Ron

        Thank you for a little common sense. America has swung so far to the right that we’re now privatizing the prison system, accountable not to society but to shareholders, while private prison corporations plunge their profits back into lobbying for “get tough” legislation among Republican candidates who can then look tough on crime while creating more “customers” for the private corporate prison business. The net result: We lock up more of our citizens than any other western nation, and for good reason–there’s money to be made off of incarcerating Americans! We’re once again Big Corporate’s personal ATM machine, and plenty of people on this site seem to think that’s a wonderful idea.

        And people on here are spinning in circles on Obama’s secret FEMA/concentration/extermination/incineration camps while they’re blind to the corporate concentration camp system set up right under their noses–all for profit.

        Privatizing the space program is a brilliant idea–should’ve been done years ago…but we don’t need to invest zero accountability in those institutions which hold the power of life and death over us, whether medical or penal. In time we’ve become slaves to the greedy institutions we’re willing to die to protect.

        That ought to be a no-brainer, but if you’re a corporate jihadi, any act of disagreement is the mark of the infidel.

    • Daniel from TN

      ObamaCare has bureaucrats making health care decisions, not me and my doctor. There is a lifetime dollar amount limit of health care I can receive: After that I am NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED to receive anymore treatment. I can only be a part of a government “approved”
      health care plan even if I find a better, less expensive plan that is not approved.
      Doc you’re missing one important thing. ObamaCare is NOT about health care at all. It is about control of the money associated with health care, and consequently, the people. 80% of the public are already covered by health insurance. If the government would just pay the insurance premiums of the other 20% the cost to taxpayers would be less than one thousandth the projected cost of ObamaCare. Everything in ObamaCare has already been tried in other countries…..and failed. Besides, everything “promised” in ObamaCare is already available at a public health clinic, including birth control.
      One last thing, Doc. I suggest you go to a library and actually read the legislation paying close attention to the parts of the legislation that have absolutely nothing to do with health care. I did. I thought I was reading a Stephen King horror novel.

    • http://Yahoo.com David E. Bahner

      Doc,
      “Implemented correctly” is the challenge. How many Federal Government programs sold as the
      answer to whatever ill was being attacked at the time have been implemented correctly. How about Carter’s Department of Energy? Johnson’s Great Society, our wonderful Department of
      Education, Homeland Security, HUD, Social Security fund, Medicare, keeping our borders secure, and the list goes on. Trillions wasted to produce a worse outcome than we had before. I for one do not want to be subject to the Obamacare Death Panel decisions or have my bank account drawn on at the whim of the Bureacrats. Obamacare is a another program designed to destroy this country and our freedoms that was passed using bribery and intimidation without
      even being read by the billionaire Nancy Pelosi who exempted herself from the fiasco. Obamacare is unconstitutional and must go along with Obama.

      • Tim L.

        If you are going to argue against something, at least get your facts straight: There are no death panels. You’re still clinging to a stupid statement made by Sarah Palin. Obviously, you love the current system, under which, your fate is decided by the insurance company, and a catastrophic illness could cost you your home.

      • Nancy in Nebraska

        Tim L., you say there will be no “death panel”. This is a term that Sarah Palin used to get the most attention. It won’t be called a “death panel” but it does exist in obamacare. There will be a panel that decides how to “ration” healthcare. Do some fact checking. They will decide who gets what treatment. Using cancer as an example, they know which chemo drugs work and which do not. The ones that work are terribly expensive. If you are past a certain age of productivity (50? 60? 70?) you will not receive the expensive drug that they know works. You will be given a less expensive drug that they know has a lesser survival rate. I read that they are setting an age, after which you would receive no treatment at all. There will be a whole range of services that will be tied to age ranges. They will also look at a younger person’s overall health and ability to be a “productive” citizen. Even children will be denied services if they decide that it doesn’t provide a “good return”. Do you want someone else deciding whether or how much treatment you or your loved ones receive? Keep in mind, you would not be allowed to seek out and pay for these services on your own because they have decided that there are a limited amount of resources that must go to the most “worthy”among us. This is is what Sarah Palin refers to as the “death panel”. And it IS part of obummercare!

      • eddie47d

        The real death panel is from the insurance companies who deny people coverage or drop them if they become really ill. Few people can predict that they will be the ones who end up with a catastrophic illness. Yet the insurance companies play God and have booted those people off of their rolls. Even when you faithfully have paid your premiums they can find reasons to deny you. Private companies can’t always be trusted and have their own death panel categories which keeps millions out of their healthcare system. The Life Insurance business can also set up legal contracts and set a given amount. Yet years into a concrete policy they change the rules and force you to pay more or drop the contract on you. This one gentleman the story was about had a lifetime policy and now was quite old but had a few more years on him. The insurance company demanded $50,000 a YEAR more from him or else be dropped. If he didn’t renew he would also loose any premiums paid in even though it was a lifetime contract. There are several stories like this where private companies don’t deliver on what they promised so why should they be trusted to come through.

      • Ron

        We’ve had death panels for decades. They’re called insurance companies, and they regularly decide who lives and dies, based on how much money they can make off of them.

        We’ve been liberated from the evilduerness of “Big Government”.

        And we were sold to Big Corporate, who demands every day that we cede more of our lives to them and remove what few protections from their bottomless greed the government still provides.

      • afdbghq

        Nancy in Nebraska says: “It won’t be called a “death panel” but it does exist in obamacare. There will be a panel that decides how to “ration” healthcare. Do some fact checking. They will decide who gets what treatment.”

        You are right. These panels will determine how much productive lifetime (how many more years they will be able to work and pay taxes) a person has. If they determine that the cost of a health care solution is more than the persons expected return by paying taxes the coverage will be denied. This will result in people over a certain age (based on health of individual) to be denied coverage.

        The other thing that I think will be coming will be permits for people to have children. DNA testing will be required and if it is determined that the person is likely to have a child with a mental and/or physical condition the person will be refused the permit to have a child. Also people who are below a certain educational and.or financial level will not be allowed to have children (they cannot educate and/or provide for them at a level the government says they must be able to do in order to insure the child has a good chance to succeed). Also every pregnant woman will be required to undergo medical tests to determine if there is any medical/physical defects with the unborn. If it is determined that there is there will, be a forced abortion.

        I could go on with many other things the POLITICAL panels will be allowed to do.

        People will probably tell me I am out to lunch but just wait and see if I am not correct if Obamacare stands.

      • Daniel from TN

        Some of the things you “prophesied” in you post are already in ObamaCare. Here’s one you missed, and it’s actually in the legislation. Each person will be allowed a lifetime dollar limit to the amount of health care he/she can receive. After you have reached that limit, you cannot legally receive anymore care, even if you pay for it out of your own pocket.

    • mags

      there is no way that that will save money. come into the real world and wake up. You need to read behind the lines here.

There is already too much.

      Why not just force auto insurance on those, say, about 12 yrs old. This way, they can “give more care to All people. Good for America.”, and get a good dose of “hopium and changium” well before they are able to vote. With 6 years of good ol’ indoctrination, they’ll be sure to start ratcheting down the age of requirement so that within a generation a parent will be taxed, oops, “mandated” to pay auto insurance on those who won’t sit behind the wheel of an maobama-mobile for another 16 years at the birth of their own children. There’s nothing like a socialist panacea full of jackasses who think they can manage everyone else’s life.

    • http://donbosch.wordpress.com donbosch

      Doc,

      Here is a challenge for you. In the last 20 years, name me one government program that was “implemented correctly” , has been wildly successful and has come in at the cost estimates that were originally stated, and that has been beneficial to all Americans, not just those who do nothing to contribute to the system. That should keep you busy for a long while.

      • eddie47d

        The success of the Internet can be directly traced back to the government and with wild success at that. NASA programs in launching communication satellites also helped bring the world closer and many private companies were spin offs. The Interstate System covered every corner of this country and brought a boom to cities,tourism,commerce and transportation. Even Social Security is popular and widely accepted and a necessity for most who retire,(even after the few in government who syphoned funds from it). National Parks are a blessing that can’t be measured in dollars in protecting our air,water,animal species and quality of life. Everyone benefits even those who don’t use the parks but those who do have to pay a fee. A national healthcare plan can also work if properly administered and considering that private companies are still on board it could be a good partnership. Unless those private companies try and gouge the public again. I’d keep a close eye on those private companies if i were you.

      • Daniel from TN

        eddie – Have you actuallt read the legislation? Or are you just accepting the word of what some Liberal told you about the legislation. I suggest you go to a library and read it for yourself.

    • Windrinker

      Doc, you are parroting when you have been told. The cost of obamaSCARE has already doubled to nearly TWO TRILLION Dollars. And, you are wrong when you say that it will give all people free healthcare! There won’t be any care unless your are “worthy.” Your “worth” will be decided by politicians that could care less whether you live or die.
      In fact, they are ready to get rid of all the “dead weight.” If you are on these blogs you probably qualify as “dead weight!” Besides you completely ignore the fact that this is NOT about healthcare…

      Government employees, muslims, big businesses that buy out, special interest groups, etc. will all be “exempt!” Face it, obamaSCARE is for the unwashed masses!
      It is not for anyone with connections, government employees, or the very wealthy!

      The excuse for creating obamaSCARE was to cover the 35 Million people that were without insurance (notice I didn’t say Americans or citizens.) We could have given each one a Million Dollars and that would have cost us $35 Million, instead of TWO TRILLION!
      Which would you rather pay….you probably don’t pay….that is your problem

  • Louis Lemieux

    Moderate socialism is welcome! Outright capitalism with no restrictions has the tendency of getting the money supply concentrated in one spot, just like in a game of monopoly.
    Those without insurance generally seek it at emergency rooms where it is much more expensive and when it is often too late for effective treatment. All of us who pay our insurance premiums and/or pay our taxes pay for this and other tremendous inefficiencies now. We pay our share AND we pay for those without insurance by paying our higher taxes and the higher insurance premiums caused by the uninsured. This is fact.

    • http://none Summertime

      There are clinics for the poor in every main city in the county. Even drug stores sponser certain things. They do not need to wait and go the the emergency room. Most people who carry their own weight and do all the right things, do not understand that the poor have a lot of resources available to them. I know this because my daughter lives that type of life. She has a job but doesn’t make more than $150 a week. There is a Christian sponsored clinic that she goes to that has 5 doctors and 5 nurses and they see people that do not make enough $ to afford insurance or medical care. They also give prescription medicines out and help them get free drugs from the pharmaceutical companies. If she didn’t make any money at all, there is another clinic she used to go to that was sponsored by the local hospitals and doctors of the area. There are EKG, blood pressure, flu shots, diagnostic medical vans that are sponsored by various drug stores in our area. There is always the Free clinic and then the Abortion Clinics that say they are there to help wormen and give physicals and pap smears or breast cancer screens. Then lets talk about all the Christian groups that specifically target the Hispanic culture and give them all sorts of free medical care, medicine and groceries. Then lets talk about the County/City government who gives Medicaid.
      All in all, they have more free help than my generation ever had and it’s funny, but I grew up poor and had no health coverage. I’m 65 years old and still alive. Don’t tell me that poor people have no alternative but to go to the hopsital, they are just lazy about going to the places where there is free help.

      • Louis Lemieux

        The US is a rich country, 24% of World Gross Domestic Product and 5% of world population.Where do you think most of the money is going? Ask the Koch brothers. There are intrinsic administrative malfunctions in the US social system and they need to be fixed. All Americans should be entitled to healthcare, a basic need. The enormous stress this causes on many individuals and families is itself a health issue and eventually raises the cost of healthcare.

        I’m all in favor of the Affordable Care Act because it’s not normal for so many millions of Americans not to be able to afford healthcare insurance and opponents don’t have any true solutions.Even Romney believes In the Affordable Care Act at the state level. Collective freedom starts where individual freedom stops and collective sharing should start where individual greed should stop.

      • Chester

        Apparently you have never, and I do mean NEVER, tried to use one of those “free” clinics. Granted, there is no cash outlay for the clinic visit, if you can get in in the first place, but you do have to know where and when it is, then be able to afford transportation to get you to it. Just because there is a free clinic or two within a hundred miles of you has nothing to do with whether or not you can get to it, or if you will be seen when and if you do get there. Most of these clinics are so over-utilized and underfunded that their hours are extremely limited, as are the number of patients they can see. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on when you get there, they don’t do triage, but first in, first out. This means the kid with the cut finger that was there waiting when the doors opened is more likely to be seen and treated than the lady with heart problems who arrives ten minutes before closing time.

      • absolutely amazed

        What you call “free health care” is not true. We all pay for that care, since those giveaways must be covered by increasing the rates the rest of us pay. So that economic argument does not hold.

        Now if you promise the rest of us that you will always remain healthy and never ever access the health care system, or if you do, you pay every cent up front for your care, I’ll welcome you in with no insurance purchased since you will promise to self insure yourself. There is a 50/50 chance you will get Alzheimers, more than a 20% chance you will have a heart attack or similar, the same for cancer. As long as you put away the hundreds of thousands of dollars, or more, that it will take you to pay for that care, you are welcome in. But you have to assure someone somewhere that you have the money put away in a medical care lockbox that only you can use, if you get sick, you must not access the US health care system at any level unless you pay up front, just as you must assure the car dealership that you are going to pay for your car, etc. Otherwise, you must stay out our go to Mexico or somewhere to beg for care there. No problems if you promise to do that – you won’t be a burden to the rest of us when you need care. Under no circumstance obligate the rest of us to pay for your personal, independent choice that will keep you free of the tyranny of the health care system.

      • Windrinker

        Louis L. You are certainly correct when you said that it is unusual for there to be so many people (I didn’t say citizens or Americans) in this country without healthcare!
        What do you expect when the Socialist State has created a “dependent class” of half this Nation!! These are the obama supporters that now have “both” hands out for an increase in benefits. Then, people like you come along and bemoan about these poor creatures and their “right to healthcare.” Find a new “cause” of interest. How about the “cause” of getting these people off the “collective tit” and paying their own bills.

        When nearly half of the population refuses to work and pay their own way…it IS a big problem..but the “problem” is for the rest of us that actually work for a living!

        It is the “creeping socialism” causing the problem,,,you got it wrong. Capitalism, those evil people that work and pay the bills, are the ones that have the solution. Put those freeloaders to work. We don’t need obamaSCARE that is about total control of every aspect of our lives, not about healthcare.

        If it is about healthcare, why does obamaSCARE fund obama’s private “civilian Army!” I suppose that is about caring for the sick!

        Don’t ya see Summertime?!! Thus the problem with our system! Although, you are correct, there are places to go, (I would have everybody notice how many of these organizations that help the down-trodden and poor are CHRISTIAN organizations! You don’t see too many New-Age soup kitchens do ya?!!) medical expences have become so ARTIFICIALLY inflated that in order to pay for an accident or illness you MUST have insurance or face the threat of losing EVERYTHING you own. And insurance companys don’t make fortunes insuring sick people! So the only ones who get it are the chosen, healthy, and/or well to do. This isn’t health care!!! It’s extortion and social GENICIDE!!! Jesus WILL NOT forgive us for leaving our poor and destitude in neglect! READ MATT. 25:31-46!!! If you go to the doctor and pay cash, they charge you a different fee than if you were to file it on your insurance! I understand that the paperwork is a headache and requires more labor, but this shouldn’t be!!! It breeds corruption! It’s not the entitlement, it’s all the corruption that goes along with it that is THE PROBLEM!!! I too remember as a kid, growing up in a below poverty line household, getting sick and going to the doctor when dad was able to pay the bill outta pocket! Who could even imagine trying to do that today!!! If a doctor knows that you’re covered, they MILK it, and even some of your more unscruppless ones will treat you for things that don’t even exist!

        absolutely: “There is a 50/50 chance you will get Alzheimers, more than a 20% chance you will have a heart attack or similar, the same for cancer.”

        Could you cite where you got this info from? Never heard of the 50/50 chance of alzheimers, and I think that is outright wrong! Also, if everyone took responsibility for his or her own health, less people would get sick; and even if they did, they could treat themselves. The human body is designed to heal itself, given the proper conditions (and “conditions” doesn’t translate into “pharmaceuticals.”

        Everything you stated is absolutely true. We always had hospitals that treated the poor even if they held a job. No one that I have witness throughout the coarse of my life were ever turned away. But I can tell you this much; hospitals became a big business venture.

        My niece and I were at a hospital in West Virgina to see her daughter; while there, my niece experienced a severe headache, at which time I asked the nurse for an asperin. Later, when my niece’s husband received the hospital bill, the one single asperin I had asked for cost $50 dollars and I kid you not.

        The total bill came to well over $18,000.00 dollars for a hospital stay of eleven days. A hotel bill would have been a lot cheaper.

      There is no such thing as “moderate” socialism, any more than there is such a thing as a moderate bite from a rattlesnake. All socialism, by definition is totalitarian in nature. Their ultimate objective is the destruction of our republic, and the system of free enterprise that fuels it.

      The only acceptable form of government is one that supports, fosters, and guarantees INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY and PERSONAL FREEDOM OF CHOICE.

      • Louis Lemieux

        Anyone can use his personal freedom to step on his neighbor’s freedom! My freedom stops where my neighbor’s freedom starts and much of this is determined by free elections. Even if you don’t vote for a president who gets elected, you still have to live under him and his administration.

      • Louis Lemieux

        Windrinkler, if you vote for a candidate who doesn’t get elected president, you still have to live under the one that does get elected even if he’s not your choice. What I’m getting at is that individual freedom and freedom of choice is not absolute. Obviously the more one cares about his compatriots in need and the more he wants to collectively help them, not judge them, the more freedom he enjoys!

      What people with your view do not seem to understand is that capitalsm is not a political doctrine like socialism, capitalism is a basic building block of any kind of economy. Without people making things, inventing things, selling things and employing people there would be no economy of any kind. Socialism can only exist where such a system is there in the first place. Socialism is a parasitic political doctrine which survives on repression, greed, theft and envy. That is why it never works. Sooner or later it runs out of other peoples’ money. While I would agree that ‘bad Capitalism’ leads to crony capitalism and ultimately facism, that can only happen where the economy is subverted for political aims. The injustices you are talking about are just such a subversion. Capitalism does not tax people, governments tax people. Unless you want to live on fresh air don’t blame capitalism, criticize governments who try to subvert it in order to derail it and get more control over everyone. Put it this way, you may have heard about the recent piece of legislation passed by Obama saying that he can take control of every resource in the country including citizens. ‘Civilian labor inmate camps’ anyone’? Tell me, would you like to work in that kind of a collectivist workforce in the kind of communist economy that Obama envisages where no-one has any choice or would you prefer a free captitalist economy where you can participate as a free citizen as you wish with some kind of control over who you work for, when and for how much? You might like to consider that before advocating a system of which you undoubtedly have no experience.

        Very well explained Amanda. I would like to pass on three philosophies by Ronald Reagan….

        “There can be no prosperity or even freedom for our people if we ever abandon the competitive economic system that transferred this country into the strongest nation in the world.

        History makes it plain that unless restrained, government proliferates to a point where its cost bankrupts the people at the same time it robs them of their freedom.

        The American dream that we have nursed for so long in this country, and lately neglected, is not that every man must be level with every other man. The American dream is that every man must be free to become whatever God intends he should become.”

        Amanda, I believe the above coincides with your statement or very close to it.

    • Dorian Douglas

      To Louis Lemieux, but others need to read this too

      There are inequities in our old medical insurance system, that needed to be addressed. I put forward a plan nearly 25 years ago to do it. But doing it requires getting rid of Progressive legislators in Washington. Who set up the old system??? Congress! And we want congress to fix it???? They are making money off the old system, and will off the new (until our economic system collapses, and they will be in a position to capitalize on that). That is what Cloward & Piven were about, elitists who know better than we do how to run our lives, so “they” need to control the rest of us.

      Also remember what else Beck discovered. Congress didn’t write the ACA! It was written by one of Geo Soros’ financially-backed organizations. Neither Congress nor Obama ever saw it before it was passed. No wonder Obama could never it explain what was in it. No wonder Pelosi said “We have to pass it to find out what’s in it”. (She was probably drunk when she let it slip, but she was telling the truth for once.)

      Cloward & Piven just wrote the last of 3 “how to” playbooks to destroy America (updated in the ’90s by the husband of a sitting congresswoman from Illinois, while he was in prison!). But Progressives started destroying America with Federal Aid to Education in the 1940′s and 1950′s, then demanding the destruction of our education system, and replacing what was good with what would eventually destroy us. Once colleges & universities were hooked on the money, they acquieced to the changes demanded by Progressives in the federal Dept of Ed, in order to continue receiving the money. Any wonder that the education dept and the journalism dept were the first to be “improved”????

      “Destroy the value system of the new teachers, and the new journalists. Then we can more easily control most of the populations in years to come!”

      Finally, Progressives have taken over both Dems & Reps parties. There are currently about 40 Dem senators, and about 30 Rep senators who are Progressives masquerading as something they’re not. They are like magicians, always misdirecting our attention away from what they are really doing. It is Progressives, not liberals or conservatives who are running, and destroying, the country. Progressives are the “unseen” third rail to our political system. And like the subway systems in this analogy, the 3rd rail drives the train.

      Louis Lemieux, moderate socialism?

      Moderate socialism is Fabian Socialism. You could say that Obama is a Fabian Socialist…relentless cultural and journalistic attacks on everything that is, and then a hard pitch for the hope of what might be. Basically it is a plan for society where a democratic Government strictly controls the economy, and enforces humanitarian practices. Believes in protecting the working class and economic equality.

      Stop Blaming Capitalism, for Socialism’s Failures! Do you understand how crony-capitalism has assumed the identity of capitalism? Without the blessing of government this ruse could not exist.

      HMOs, the health care crisis, strip mining, robber barons, deforestation, SUVs, “global warming”, world hunger, unemployment, inflation, periodic recession/depression…what all have in common is that Big Government is the cause, but your economic freedom is blamed.

      Politicians tend to force bad government programs on us, which then have destructive side-effects, usually the opposite of what’s intended, and then saying the effects were caused by whatever freedom of choice is left over, and trying to take that away.

      Louis L,
      When are you lefties going to stop using that misnomer “Affordable Health Care Act”? These liberal politicians sure are good at naming their acts just the opposite of what they truly are. Affordable? I’m not old enough for medicare yet, but the quote they gave me before Obamacare was $150 a month, to be deducted from Soc.Sec. With the passage of Obummercare it is now closer to $350 a month thanks to them robbing $500 billion out of Medicare to help pay the cost of it. Just like another misnomer the “Employee Free Choice Act” which would have taken away an employee’s right to a secret ballot regarding joining a union. The unions would then be able to have their thugs standing over an employee’s shoulder and intimitading them to sign. Fortuneatly, the Act failed.

      • Karolyn

        You pay nothing for Medicare Part A (hospitalization). I was told $96 for Part B (doctors) and didn’t even look at Part ? for prescription drug.

      • http://gravatar.com/hattles JeffH

        Karolyn says, “You pay nothing for Medicare Part A (hospitalization).” I beg to differ Karolyn…to say you pay nothing is a misnomer, it is “pre-paid coverage” for those who qualify to recieve it…even you know that nothing is free in this world…Part A is paid for by a portion of Social Security taxes. Generally, people who are over age 65 and getting Social Security automatically qualify for Medicare Parts A and B.

      Louis Lemieux, You do know that if one doesn’t have healthcare they pay a fine. If you can’t pay the fine you go to jail (welcome to debtors prison). Do you support this as well?

      Since this illegal prez pissed off the Supreme Court with his arrogant attempt to bully and intimidate them, I hope they show him who is who and what is what. And it is up to us, We The People, to show this great liar the door in November…that is if the electoral college doesn’t outvote us.

      • Louis Lemieux

        Moonbeam, the government will help you pay your health insurance depending on your level of income and hardship situation.

      • Daniel from TN

        That is only a partial truth, which is the ONLY truth Liberals will ever tell. 80% of the people are already covered by health insurance, a truth Liberals refuse to reveal. If the government would just pay the health insurance premiums for the other 20%, and forget all the bureaucratic garbage, then the cost to taxpayers would be less than one-thousandth of one per cent of the projected cost of ObamaCare. This has already been confirmed by the CBO.
        ObamaCare is NOT about health care. It is about controlling the money spent for health care, thereby increasing direct control of the people.

    • DaveH

      Louis Lemieux says — “Moderate socialism is welcome! Outright capitalism with no restrictions has the tendency of getting the money supply concentrated in one spot, just like in a game of monopoly.
      Those without insurance generally seek it at emergency rooms where it is much more expensive and when it is often too late for effective treatment. All of us who pay our insurance premiums and/or pay our taxes pay for this and other tremendous inefficiencies now. We pay our share AND we pay for those without insurance by paying our higher taxes and the higher insurance premiums caused by the uninsured. This is fact”.
      No, Louis, what is fact is that Government, thanks to Liberals like yourself, has forced us to pay for those without Insurance. This is how Progressives work, Folks. First they whine and cry that we must help others. Then when we meekly allow them to get their foot in the door and things start degenerating, instead of admitting that the Marketplace distortions are a result of their own meddling, they blame it on Free Enterprise and offer us more of their same Poison as a solution.
      We need to excise the Cancer that is Progressivism. They have gotten away with their trickery for long enough. Anybody, who thinks Big Government is the solution, needs merely to peruse this list of countries that are ranked by their Economic Freedom (Less Government). This is actual Experience, Folks, you know — Our Best Teacher.

People have different values and we make personal choices that shape our lives. One of my values will always be that money exists for us and not us for money!

      • absolutely amazed

        Absolutely circular logic, Dave. It is the insurance companies and hospitals, which are not controlled by the government, that force us to pay for the uninsured. Someone shows up with no insurance, and they are cared for. That costs money. Where in the hell do you thank that money will come from – Saturn or Venus? If everyone was in the system and had insurance, then we could figure out how to deliver care and control the costs. Now if the uninsured, for example the healthy trying to beat the odds, don’t want to pay for health insurance, and do in fact get their leukemia or have their heart attack ,just like student loans, their health-related debts should never be forgiven. They played the odds, they lost, too bad. The Republicans proposed mandated health insurance long ago, but once taken up by the Democrats, it became, of course, a communist plot. Those damned communists are everywhere now – traffic lights at intersections, stop signs where we don’t want them in school zones, protecting the food supply from salmonella. Before long, they’ll even tell women they can join the work force and have their children looked after in day care, which, as we all know, are indoctrination camps where they might possibly learn the ABCs and math, think about going to college, and even become scientists who might claim that the earth did come into instant existence those 7 days 6016 years ago and the dinosaur fossils were planted in the rocks to fool us all, and that putting a man on the moon to beat those Russkie communists there was just a wider plot that those devious and lying, college educated, smart-ass snobbish scientists foisted on us. Got to watch out for those communists – they are around every corner now, wanting their kids educated and their food safe, and the next thing you know, they will want to have their own guns in their own homes. Now that would just not be acceptable, would it.

      Louis, you are describing crony capitalism, or fascism, not pure capitalism. Capitalism, in theory, would allow competitors to challenge any monopolistic tendencies. In the real world, the successful (whatever their ideological leanings) invest time and money in getting legislators to pass regulations that benefit them and knock out the competition. Socialism, if you think about it, is merely a populist face on the exact same system as crony capitalism/fascism. In all these instances, government interferes with the free exchange of goods and services among free individuals. What’s needed is not socialism-lite, where more political and economic power is concentrated in the hands of a few, but a renewed commitment to founding principles and separation and balancing of power.

  • Sirian

    Wayne,
    Outstanding point and I’m thankful that you have brought it up. It most certainly sheds a great deal of light on the subversive perpetrators behind the ObummerCare fiasco. Glenn Beck was talking of this and had pointed Cloward & Piven’s plan out at least two, possibly three years past. That couple, well, solo Piven now since Cloward has gone off to the great Socialist hunting grounds in the sky, were also, partnered behind the scenes, with the Clintons back in their lovely years. Yes, their plan was also one of the base units behind HillaryCare. You’ve hit the target dead center but you’re just a wee bit behind. A wee bit behind or not, it is still a vitally important point to continue relaying to the public so they’ll understand the prime intent of Obummer and his useful idiots galore.
    Hat’s off to you, please don’t stop, people need the truth from a source that is unquestionably reliable – the more the merrier!!! :)

    • Tom W.

      Hear, hear, Sirian! You said everything I was going to about Wayne’s video today (He still reminds me of a vacuum cleaner salesman! LOL!!!) It is good to see these facts finally coming out in the public forum! I believe it was about 2 1/2 yrs. ago when Glenn spent about a month on the history of Cloward and Piven! As a matter of fact, Glenn was on the forefront (A main stream Alex Jones, if you will!) of alot of the revelations that are JUST NOW coming out about this administration and deserves tremendous credit for getting alot of people to open their eyes! I miss his show and pray that God blesses him in ALL of his future endeavors, In my opinion, he (I do realise that he’s a bit touched, but ain’t we all?!!) is a modern day hero for bringing the things that he exposed to the light! I already spend too much time behind this stupid keyboard and don’t have two hours a day to devote to his new format, but I do wish him the best! Even though his show was a bit outlandish at times and definately over the top, I found it quite educational! Even thuogh, he could go on a tirade every now and then. I think FNC made a big mistake when they let him get away and the show that they’ve replaced him with “The Five”, although quite entertaining sometimes, is more or less a news parody show on a major news channel, on at an hour that should be reserved for serious news matters! I love Glenn, even though he is a heretic!
      Everything this administration (This has been coming on for quite a while and is by no way solely to blamed on this administration or the Democratic party itself! If there is any blame, let it be placed on US for falling asleep and allowing the fox to come into charge of the chicken coup!) does goes RIGHT ALONG with Saul Allinski’s “Rules For Radicals” playbook! Bottom up, top down, and inside out!!! They’re not even trying to disguise their tactics!!! Right along with the playbook, step by step! Kinda LAZY, don’t ya think?!! But then again, what would ya expect?!!

        Sir, you left out “Communist Rule for Revolution,” for which, was designed to corrupt and destroy our young’s faith in religion, their parents, authority, etc. Today, our young know nothing of American history, the U.S. Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence. They know more about sex and drugs than they do about their country’s history.

        Also included in the “Communist Rule for Revolution” is what we witness almost on the daily basis; “Destroy the people’s faith in their national leaders by holding the latter up to contempt and ridicule.” You’ve seen what they did with Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann. Members of the Communist Democratic Party made full use of this “Communist Rule for Revolution” as a tool for “Character Assassination.”

        The “Communist Rule for Revolution” was obtained by the Armed Forces in Dusseldorf in May of 1919, for which, had later spread and infected the United States of America by members of the Socialist Party in the early 1920s, and continued to grow like an invisible cancer ever since. And we can’t say we weren’t warned over the years by prominent leaders, only Americans themselves left their country unguarded. People heard them, but they didn’t listen. I did!

        Mental note: The John Birch Society and Ron Paul along with countless others have been warning us for decades of the political, social and moral break down of our country. Glenn Beck has been able to pick up the ball and continue the warning and enlightenment. I do stress that as much as I love Glenn Beck’s message I have put him on the back burner after he has “bore false witness against ” Ron Paul. I have no idea why, they are both libertarians, and Ron Paul supports Israel through common sense and the Constitution not through the UN or our Crime Inc. bosses in D.C. and else where. I trust Ron Paul because he has been talking and walking Liberty, common sense and upholding our Constitutional rights for 30+ years. I would say Glenn is riding on the coattails of those who have gone before him yet now is slandering. Non-interventionism and Isolationism are apples and oranges. Ron Paul supporters are not only decent, law-abiding and incredible people, but they are leaders, true patriots and one by one trying to save our country while so many others just gripe, are deceived or close their eyes to the cause of liberty and truth. Ron Paul said it’s not about him, he does not want to be king it is about the message………………

      • HAPPYRWE

        @ Jerry Glenn Beck is not a visionary man, he simply is repeating what John Birch Society, Ayn Rand, Ron Paul, and countless others have warned for decades. He has been given a powerful soapbox and I am grateful that so many can learn what millions have known for years, but slandering Ron Paul has me questioning him. False claims, slander and negativity toward good law-abiding and honest supporters is just as wrong as the left attacking the Tea Party supporters around the country. I don’t know why he is doing it. I also don’t believe in being (once again) scared into war and submission by yet another “boogeyman” so that we can put more of our finest men and women into war again. Socialism and Communism are deeply rooted in the game of deception, and “even the very elect” will be deceived. I put my faith in God, Family and Country, in the Constitution and in the American people who are willing to speak out in defense of our country and fix us first. Our cash is worth near zero yet we are willing to print more debt and use our soldiers as UN/ Big Government collateral damage again……

The old capitalist system of a supply and demand market has been scrapped and a new totally fascistic structure put in its place: looting taxpayer money to give to financial institutions, with fat-cats receiving obscene multi-million dollar salaries and bonuses accompanied by a systematic genocide of workers.

        “History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments . . .”

        Mr. Root; Yesterday Mr Myer’s warned us of the potential disaster of the possibility of China dumping 300 billion in treasuries on the open market and today you have managed to trump that with 17 trillion, and 87 trillion respectively, which is impresseive fear mongering until we get to the 791 trillion in unregulated derivatives, created by the unregulated capitalist system……you are so concerned about preserving.

        All in 6+ minutes of rhetoric, whose justification seems to be that most americans are
        happy with what they have……and amazingly you do this on behalf of Personal Liberty,
        which spends much of it’s time and energy making the point, that the medical establishment is dangerous…….which would seem to suggest that your attempted justification, seems willing to accept that those happy americans…are clueless and ignorant of these dangers…..in a system which has nothing to do with “health” and actually kills 750,00 to one million a year, iatrogenically, making it the leading cause of death in
        the U.S.

        The reality is, that the bill was crafted by the health insurance industry and drug companies…..an actual socialist bill would have been single payer….and since we do not have that, the bill simply guarantees profits for the private ( capitalist ) insurers,
        while the reforms required to correct the irresponsibility of the medical professionals
        and drug companies, go unaddressed……..and yes there will be debt, but my friend
        that is what the american capitalist system is based on…….

        The problem with people who babble for a living, preaching to their respective choirs of ignorance, is the obvious self contradiction that is so readily apparent to anyone with a moderate amount of intelligence and minimal degree of skepticism.

        Fortunately, the reality is….change is far more rapid, than in previous times and information challenging the mythology of “history written by the victors” is rapidly taking hold…..so you have a choice, you can continue to babble and be part of the problem, protecting what ever it is you are afraid of losing……in which case, you will in the end simply be exposed for what you are…..and discarded.

        For those here, who would like to understand what “american capitalism” is…..here is
        another myth busting ball against the wall of willfull ignorance……

        Good point, Ben. When they run out of other peoples’ money they’re screwed.

      • DaveH

        Galt repeats his ignorant statement about derivatives from yesterday — “which is impresseive fear mongering until we get to the 791 trillion in unregulated derivatives”.
        And as I said yesterday, derivatives, like all financial instruments, are heavily regulated. And nobody has to participate in the Derivatives’ markets if they don’t want. For some reason, Derivatives have become the new Liberal whipping boys. Maybe because most people don’t understand what they are? At any rate, if you’re in that category read this:

      • DaveH

        Galt says — “The reality is, that the bill was crafted by the health insurance industry and drug companies…..an actual socialist bill would have been single payer”.
        It doesn’t matter what you call it, Socialism or Fascism, it is still detrimental to the citizens to have the disinterested middle-man (Government) involved in our voluntary medical decisions. How could it possibly be healthy for the citizens to have an expensive middle-man with the Power of Force intervening in our medical decisions and deciding who gets what scarce medical resources? And that middle-man, once established will be almost impossible to fire if we don’t like the outcome. We can’t just switch plans like one could do in a Free Enterprise situation. I love voluntary transactions. In fact, I just fired my satellite provider and switched to another because I wasn’t happy with them. I can’t offer a similar example for Health Care Insurance because I don’t buy any. I don’t bet against the probabilities that I will suffer misfortune — which is the only way I can get rewarded financially (not a very desirable event).
        Free Choice — what every Liberal claims they have a right to when it comes to killing babies. But for some strange inconsistent reason they don’t allow us that same Free Choice about our own bodies. Of course those of us, who can actually think, know that what the Liberals really want is our money.

      • GALT

        The amazing reasoning of DavidH. 300 billion of U.S. Treasuries dumped on the open
        ( free? ) market could cause a catastrophe according to the fear mongering Myer’s,
        17 trillion in possible debt, to 87 trillion because of “socialist Obama Care” which is actually as explained a capialist bill, preserving profits for insurance and drug companies,
        these too present huge problems…….791 trillion in UNREGULATED DERIVATIVES,
        not a problem…….but Mr. DavidH, fails to identify the REGULATOR”S AGAIN.

        And he seems to have forgotten very recent history, the nobel prize winning quants, who founded Long Tern Capital Management ( the inventors of derivatives ) and single handedly almost crashed the U.S. Market BEFORE Glass Stegal was repealed…..and after that lesson, the crash of 2008 was caused by UNREGULATED DERIVATIVES….and that isn’t over yet…..

        And you are growing tiresome….so please note the following, all my posts here are directed at the author of the main piece…..and they are, of course free to respond…but
        this won’t happen…..and it won’t be done well if it is…..

        Whatever your purpose here sir, and whatever you have that you think is being threatened……you appear to be a person who is so locked into a position, that in order for the world to move forward, we shall just have to wait until you die…….not that you actually have any power, intellectually or otherwise…..

        The saddest part of all of this is that you seem to be somewhat clueless as to the actual positions of your host…..so you might want to run through his suggested reading list,
        because a few of the selections will be a shock for you……as I said, when you are engaged in the babble business……you just have to keep talking…..unfortunately,
        this tends to lead to mistakes and inconsistencies…..especially if your agenda, conflicts with reality or distorts it.

        You do not have this problem, David…..your reality is one framed by a philosophy which was never valid, supported by a history which never happened and since you will do nothing to change this or risk the possibility of changing it, your mind is closed…and discussion is pointless.

        Typical LIB-TARD to use the “party line” to pass blame onto those TRYING to PRESERVE this Republic, while he’s busy ‘occupying’ something!
        At least he got his name, personality crisis, correct!
        Hey, LACK of personality, why not go back to your ILLEGAL anarchist occupying rallies, and leave the IMPORTANT discussion to the ADULTS!
        Who lets these MORONS into this site, anyway?

      • absolutely amazed

        Check out GALT below – he is right on the truth of what has happened and is happening. You all have fallen for the Koch Brothers/Tea Party line that will insure that the rich get very, very rich, and the insurance companies will own us all. that is called captialo-fascism, and that is where we are headed – ala Hitler, Mussolin, Tojo, Idi Amin. You asked for it, you’ll get it, and you 99%ers will suffer beyond human comprehension. I wish it were just the Kochs and the Tea Partiers who would suffer, but you greed and fear mongers will bring us all down.

        Sir, I gather from your statement that you are incapable of rendering constructive criticism. In this case, I suspect you are a typical uneducated American who follows the path of the Marxist Doctrine, which has the tendency of leading the human brian to go numb. Through the philosophy of the Marxist Doctrine, some individuals succumb to the three easy steps of liberalism, socialism, and then, the final stage and normalization of communism. This is when the human brain is buried in a concrete block where nothing of “sound reasoning” will ever get through. Popularly known as “brain-washing.”

        Allow me to put it in the following simple verbal formula you may be able to understand….

        Marxist Doctrine = *liberalism + socialism = communism* This how the “Communist Rule for Revolution” guide book sucks the life out of the feeble-minded human brain. Promise them anything and they will come running like little sheeps.

        @personalitycrisis2: appropriately named! Who are you calling “winged”? Liberalism is a disease; symptoms include stupid!

      • Obamanator

        Hey PC2. You say nothing of value. Just hurl insults with no substance. Typical liberal trollism. You prove Michael Savage correct when he says liberalism is a form of mental illness… and I don’t care to listen to him either. That’s because he sounds like the right wing version of YOU! That’s something to think about. Now I’ll have to watch Mr. Roots presentation. Have a great day.

      Obamacare’s purpose has always been to take over 1/6th of the US economy. Uninsured people won’t be healthier once they become insured. We already have proof of that with Romneycare. In fact, people who go to the doctor more frequently are more likely to be given worthless drugs (Ie: statins, acid reducers,etc) that cause many new health issues. If preventive medicine actually worked, every person who goes for an annual physical would be in great health. Instead, our health has deteriorated in the 30 years since this foolish idea took over our health industry. Previously, we went to the doctor if we were sick or injured only, so we had very few health claims. Now, we go for multiple preventive issues (physical, mammogram, pap smear, etc) each year. With all these additional claims, our premiums had to increase. How can anyone be confused about why our health insurance costs so much now? Worse, providing ‘free’ preventive care for an additional 30 million people will raise our premiums higher. Does anyone in America think anymore?

      • Jerry

        Ellen, let’s not forget about the LEFTIST’S bed partners, the Trial Lawyers, who just LOVE to sue anyone involved in health care!
        Trial Lawyers, and the rash of lawsuits have made medicine a DEFENSIVE proposition, and the medical professionals are paying half of their earnings just in malpractice insurance, to defend themselves against the hungry sharks!
        TORT REFORM would go a LONG WAY in lowering health care costs, but this has been the LEFT’S plan for decades; drive up the costs, through frivolous lawsuits, and then have the Government come to the rescue!

      • absolutely amazed

        Bull roar – the health insurance companies control 1/16th of the economy, and the $50 aspirin tablet someone is bitching about is a product of their collusion with the hospital monopoly. The government can’t do worse than that no matter how hard it tried.
