Medical Care and your thoughts...

[Zundfolge]

They courts can also rule that one part is unconstitional and leave the rest standing. If they rule that the mandatory purchase part is a no-go they can leave the rest alone. That will just accelerate the end of nongovernment health care, not stop it.

Frankly that's what I expect to happen, and I think that's by design.

The purpose of this health care law is to implode the health insurance industry forcing the government to step in and nationalize the industry and bam, overnight and without voting for it we'll get socialized medicine. Once the people are dependent on the state for their very lives you'll never see small government, pro-liberty constitutionalists in power again. Ever. Period.


Folks I think we have to face the fact that Obama has already "fundamentally transformed this country" beyond the point of no return and the only way to roll this crap back is with some sort of "reset button" (be that a Constitutional Convention or a dissolution of the union ... a con-con will end up making things worse since the progressives will write all sorts of new positive rights and eliminate many rights related to liberty, and secession and/or dissolution isn't going to go any smoother or peacefully than it did last time it was tried).

America is dead ... the corpse just hasn't started stinking yet.

I don't know, I think certain parts (San Francisco, Hollyweird, DC, NYC, etc.) started stinking a long time ago ...

AGREED.

Damn ... I was hoping I'd see a bunch of responses disagreeing with my pessimistic take on things ... telling me to stop being so negative and pointing out how wrong I am.
