US News snakes around the truth....

Take your time and read the article that is linked to the header of this piece... don't worry... I'll wait.

Done? Not yet? That's okay....

How about now?

You are? Great!!!!

So don't you feel re-assured?

Let me look on this article thru reality-colored glasses and translate:

1) Public Option - Far from a certainty that there will be no public option, it's something that liberals are anxious to insert it, and it's VERY likely a major push will be done to do just that.

Right now, in the absence of a corporation-killing addition like that business will have to go up for the insurance companies, even as employees are looking around for whatever industry that ISN'T health care will hire them.

2) The Federal Budget - It's rather comforting to know that one of the many provisions for how the deficit can go down is in new taxes. Spending nearly a trillion dollars and keeping the budget deficit low by increasing everyone's taxes is a real interesting idea. In fact it's such a good idea it makes you wonder why president hussein's campaign wasn't run on "I will spend Trillions of Dollars and you will pay for it for me". It's kind of catchy and it's a change I believe is real.

3) Doctors will revolt - I'm really liking this one. Did you catch the tone of the article? If you DON'T go along with us you're screwed. You wasted your education and several thousands of dollars to get that education and you now have to decide to play ball or take a menial job.

Our government is so in love with our Doctors that they should not feel at all at risk of being thrown in gulags. No... really... in fact you can even keep working if you play ball with them.

4) Business will suffer - Another fun one to re-examine. The tone on this is positively gladiatorial. If you're strong enough you can fight in our arena and maybe survive. If not, along with those pesky Christians (and let's not forget hussein's pals the Jews...) you could find yourself thrown to the lions. All very bread and circuses... who wouldn't feel their patriotism swell with pride after that.

5) Socialized medicine - Individuals will have no say in their health care coverage as a rule. But they usually don't when it's employer-provided. So the employer will look at his skyrocketing costs for private insurance and start looking at the cheaper (and I mean CHEAP...) government-supplied coverage. This is a tired argument and not even worthy of being put in place here.

Let's face it. This is pure hatred for Americans. You get to be gladiators for hussein's pleasure. You have choice - fight for him or perish. Your doctor has a choice - do his bidding or run a fast-food joint.

America smells more like ancient Rome... doesn't it?

I'm Dr. Calamity and I approve this message.
