Liberal National Health Care Will Destroy Private Care Industry

Here is just one more of the disasters that the "One" has promised to inflect on us when he takes office - it isn't clear just what he will actually do, but we can only 'hope' that he used the same technique that Clinton did back in '92 - that is, tell any lie necessary to get elected and then only do as much as necessary to keep the base Happy.

True, this isn't the 90's and the electorate is fatter and more ready and willing to scum to anything that Obama says is right for them - sigh - and as always when it turns out bad it will so easy to blame Bush. This can go on for decades. Just look how they have vilified Nixon for the last thirty years and still are!

It will be up to the rest of us t0 stop any idiocy that the congress and the 'messiah' come up with that doesn't bode well for the country as a whole - and the way to do this get on the phone and the computer and let your elected officials know that the nonsense won't fly.

Keep the faith - it's up to us now to keep the thief from our door. Arm your self with knowledge and intestinal fortitude.


Health care promises can't be kept
December 30, 2008 By Nathaniel Ward

President-elect Barack Obama cannot possibly keep his health care campaign promises, explains Heritage expert Robert Moffit.

On the campaign trail, Moffit says, the candidate "promised--repeatedly--that Americans who already had health insurance would not face any changes in their coverage and that their costs would go down, saving the typical family $2,500 annually in premiums."

But under the president-elect's proposed health care reforms, "millions of Americans will indeed lose their existing coverage, and the promised premium savings are unlikely to materialize."

What's more, the programs amount to "a Trojan horse for government control and the progressive destruction of Americans' private health insurance coverage."
The incoming administration has suggested a number of radical health care changes:

Establishing a new federally-run national health plan financed by the taxpayers;

Imposing a mandate on employers to offer health insurance to their employees; and

Creating national health insurance exchange in which the public health plan would compete -- unfairly -- with private health insurance.

Because the government's health care plan would likely be less costly up front to consumers, "the result would be a massive crowd-out of private health insurance coverage, especially employer-based coverage."
