The Health Care Stepping Stone

Why the full court press on " Health Care" reform by the Obama administration and democrats in congress? What's the hurry? Why is there such obfuscation and disinformation on the primary bill in the US House of Representatives (HR. 3200)?

The reality for me on this issue is less about the details of a 1018 page bill that most house members have not read, but the seeming desire of this administration to push through a massive and costly government takeover of the health care industry. This take over is the cornerstone of this administration in their incremental march to take over the US Economy.

Lets be very clear about something. In order to achieve their vision of America, they need almost absolute control over the US Economy. Former president bush, unwittingly of not, handed to them the financial sector on a silver platter by signing the first bailout bill.

Take a look at the steps taken by this current administration just since February. The passage of the TARP program, which essentially gave the Treasury department control of the Financial sector of the US economy. This was followed by an almost complete takeover of the domestic auto industry wherein 2/3Rd's of of US automakers are now under the control of this administration either explicitly (GM) or implicitly (Chrysler).

When you add the health care industry in with the automotive and financial industries, you represent a large portion of US GDP that is either directly or indirectly controlled by this administration. This kind of makes the idea of a "Free Market" economy a joke.

Health care reform, if passed, paves the way for Congress and the President to re-introduce and pass "Cap and Trade" which is another way of defining a massive nationalization of the Energy sector of the US economy. This policy would put the administration in the position of being able to "Dictate" who in the manufacturing industry and produce and who gets penalized. The overall consequences on domestic manufacturing would be catastrophic both for the average consumer and the US Economy.

This administration and the democrats in congress see this as a necessity. Control, power, subjugation, consolidation of power. Health care reform passage makes the rest of their socialist agenda easier to be forced on the American public. The speed at which they are trying to move is indicative of their own understanding that the vast majority of Americans won't accept their version of this country and will show their displeasure at the ballot box in 2009/2010. My friends it is time to write your elected representatives NOW and urge in the strongest way possible that they defeat the passage of the Health Care bill as we currently know it.
