Considering that you, dear reader, are supposed to report to flag@whitehouse.gov any “false” information about the Left’s new healthcare power-tool you might find on the Internet, that you might hear (or misconstrue) in conversations you overhear among strangers, or, I must assume, that the voices in your head speak to you, I’m posting this (slightly edited) exchange I had with a friend over on Facebook. Obviously, too few people can read what I post on Facebook, so I’m sticking it over here where the search engines can find it! I want to be on the list!
But I digress. My friend is convinced that there is nothing to fear from what Congress is about to do to all of us, to take away from all of us, in regard to our being caretakers for our own bodies, of our own humanity in regard to our healthcare freedoms and I beg to differ. By the way, I’ve been involved professionally with the business of healthcare for the past 20 years and have experience in the political, government hospital and medical business sides of the issue. I hope I understand at least something more than 98% or so of Congress that has not shared even a smidgen of my experience:
I’m tired of dealing with folks who just can’t figure out how this all is being set up to work. They are fools. They simply trust the legislative sewage being poured upon them and reflexively, parroting their caretakers, insist that anyone who dares to question or doubt any single part of the bill must be a member of some grand conspiracy, a tool of big business interests or some other such bogeymen. In their shriveled little minds, nobody with a heart or a mind could hate their pet legislation. I have both a mind and a heart, but I’m not dumb enough to let my heart follow lemmings off a cliff. So, I’ve read several sections of the bill and my analysis falls in line with a copy of a letter I received that was written to Senator Birch Bayh by Steven Fraser, M.D. of Indianapolis. I’ve random checked his points and find none that are in error.
The left will deny each of Dr. Fraser’s points because the bill is constructed replete with what I call “weasel words” so that each point gives liberals plausible deniability - they can say that the bill doesn’t mean what Dr. Fraser explains, and if all considerations of political leverage are dismissed they might be telling the most explicit truth. But no - zero, none, zilch - considerations of political leverage can be ruled out here; the best guide for reviewing things like this is to learn from history.
History says when either party gets the leverage of majority along with electoral “mandate” or other viable wedge issue, it will always attempt the most risky things it might desire as soon as possible. That way enough time is placed between its actions and our results. The early-bird party with leverage has time and room to misdirect, redefine and obfuscate when schemes go awry. It’s how a “war to get and destroy weapons of mass destruction” becomes a “war for liberation and democracy.” It is a calculated wager that The People will forget missteps - or mis-remember them - so that the political cost is mitigated before the next election.
So, as prudent Citizens, we must consider each potentiality brought forth from this Congress in the light of its worst possible implementation. If you take the time to actually read the drivel these boobs have thrown together, it is hard not to feel as though Congress and this President view us all with contempt, as if we are incapable of doing much of anything on our own without some big, honkin, nanny government bureaucrat there to “help” us. Of course, the contempt coming from our leaders is stronger toward some of us than it is for others because the true intent - as always from the left - is not to maintain liberty but to redistribute outcomes so that all results are equal, with no regard for talent, ability, heritage, work ethic and… particularly of late… faith.
