March 30, 2010 - Waking up...

I saw on the internet the other day where a congressman stated that if the mandate to purchase health insurance was not deemed unconstitutional by the courts, that the government would then have free reign to "mandate", order, whatever, us to purchase things we may or may not want, such as an energy saving vehicle from G(overnment) M(otors), and if we didn't do that by a certain time, they would penalize us for disobeying them.
For some reason, people don't believe they would actually do this. Then, I ask, why are they doing it now? It was passed under the guise of Health Care Reform. Now people say we have socialized medicine. No, we don't. What we have is the first step to allow government to control our lives in detail. If they can force you to do this, they can force you to do anything.
Universal Healthcare is not mandating everyone to buy health insurance. Universal Healthcare is where anyone, anyone at all, can walk into a doctors office, hospital, doc-in-a-box, wherever, and receive healthcare. It is paid for by everyone who pays taxes through the government. The government pays the doctors and nurses salaries, they don't mandate that the doctors must see people and then receive only a fraction of the cost to do so, which allows the doctors to say "we're not going to see anymore of these people."
Universal Healthcare does no allow Pharmaceutical companies to continue to gouge customers in this country while selling the same drugs to foreign customers for a fraction of what we have to pay.
No, we do not have Universal Healthcare, and we are not heading in that direction. We have government control disguised as Healthcare, and it's just the first step.
Another congressman was asked why it took four years before it took total effect. His response? Because it will take that long to create the administration necessary TO CONTROL THE PEOPLE!
Wake up, America... or we're going down for the count.
