Communism is NOT Compassion

During Obama’s campaign of undefined change, he, when finally outed as a socialist, joked that the next thing that would be discovered is that he was a communist in first grade because he shared his toys. Obviously, he’s using the lie that has been perpetuated by power hungry socialists ever since Marxism’s been penned. And that is, it’s compassionate to forcibly take someone’s stuff and give it to another while keeping a lot for yourself.

In reality, Obama’s joke will play out on the American people in the worst way. Communism is not about willingly “sharing yo stuff”. Instead it’s about having stuff forcibly taken because the government thinks someone has too much. In Obama’s first grade example, it would be Obama’s teacher who determined that a student had too many toys and so took them away.

And if that child didn’t like it, he would be severely punished until he got his mind right. But communists always forget that part never mentioning that hundreds of millions of people who lost their lives in the last century because they refused to accept their way. Didn’t Obama’s buddy, Bill Ayers, suggest 25 million Americans would have to go to “Gitmo like Gulags” in the prairie?

In the stupid phraseology of Senator Ted “Hiccup” Kennedy (D-MA), “Sadly, Bush’s Gitmo will be closed only to be reopened under new management, Obama’s. Closer to home and imprisoning not terrorists but the real evildoers in the world, capitalists!”

Yes, Democrats have created the perfect situation to finally implement their socialist dream that will only work in one place, nowhere. Only they’ll try it here, and when it produces the economic disaster that it always does, it’ll be Bush’s fault. Yeah, Bush has screwed up the economy so bad that even the messiah needs multiple terms maybe a lifetime to fix it.

Fix it, or put it forever in a fix. The leftward lurch has begun with the S-CHIP (State Children’s Health Insurance Program) expansion already passed in congress. Twice President Bush vetoed this extension because he’s mean spirited. After all, any impediment to the goosestep march into socialism especially against children is played in the DNC media as utterly uncompassionate.

Master of Bloviation, John Kerry (D-MA), failed 2004 presidential candidate and paragon of loser-ness, responded, “We must not further delay its reauthorization while millions of children are without health care.” Communism must advance for the children even though it’ll starve many of them.

What this expansion does is increase the eligibility to children of families in the upper middle class. Sounds good until one realizes that you don’t get something for nothing. While the tax dollars expended will definitely increase the already burgeoning deficits and cost job creation in the private sector (not government it only grows), premiums for families already covered on private insurance will skyrocket.

It all has to do with that “when people receive something not caring about the price because it’s free thing.” It’s that supply and demand thing that liberals believe is nothing but a capitalist lie. So, when health care costs rise, premiums to cover those increases go up as well.

Some will opt out of private insurance for the “free” socialist insurance like in Hawaii, which didn’t factor that into its cost estimates. After only 7 months and insuring just 2000 of the estimated 3,500 to 16,000 uninsured children, Hawaii ended its child universal healthcare because up to 60% of the enrollees had dropped their private coverage.

Others losing their health insurance due to higher costs will be gleefully added to that oft quoted and every time it’s larger statistic, “The gazillion un-insured.” But Democrats aren’t waiting to have a separate vote on a big healthcare bill. They’ve learned their lesson in 1993 that too many Americans would oppose it.

Comrade Pelosi (D-CA), Squeaker of the House, recently claimed that “500 million” jobs are lost every month the Democrat’s stimulus plan is delayed. However, this plan contains secret provisions that will vastly change how America’s healthcare system works. For example, it will force doctors to comply with mandated choices such as considering a patient’s life expectancy to a treatment’s cost. Bottom line: Don’t get old.

The plan also creates the “National Coordinator of Health Information Technology.” This bureaucracy will electronically track treatments with digitized medical records at the federal level. According to Betsy McCaughey, in a commentary at Bloomberg.com, this bill now law is the biggest takeover of the healthcare system to date.

Doctors must join a federal community, which will strictly enforce treatment uniformity. She writes, but it “goes too far.” For hospitals and doctors that resist being “meaningful users,” which incidentally isn’t defined, will face stiff penalties. So, how soon will Americans long for the good old days of free market healthcare?
