I Welcome Our New Czar Overlords (Healthcare)
For the first time in my life I now fully understand lemmings, and why these fur balls run off the cliff.
Because that is what America is about to do by passing this healthcare bill.
(Politico) The Democratic Party’s decades-long push to remake the U.S. health care system cleared a major hurdle early Monday morning, with the Senate voting to advance a massive $871 billion bill to extend coverage to nearly all Americans and tighten regulations on private insurers.
Less than two days after releasing a bill with 383 pages of changes, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) corralled his politically diverse caucus and delivered the 60 votes necessary for the most crucial test vote in the legislative process so far–effectively assuring the reform package will clear the Senate later this week.
Whether or not universal healthcare (government style) is a glorious endeavor for the masses I’ll leave for the pundits to decide (even though I’m strongly against government healthcare given their long track of failure with everything save the mail & military).
But enacting this now in the middle of a recession is fiscal suicide.
One that makes me want to dust off the passport again, as living through an eternal recession is not my idea of what a glorious future looks like.
