The Hypocrisy and High Stakes of Healthcare Reform

This is a big fight for a reason, and it's not children and cookies.

If the federal government has the power to run health care it has the power to run everything and that's the end of a republic with a constitution and a free people.

At least half the nation wants "free" health care. That's because that half pays nothing now and for them it's free.

Insurers are doing what they can, but the government is actively rigging the game to make sure insurers can't make money to pave the way for a "public" option.

Hillarycare sank under the waves in 1994 when enough people looked at the byzantine flowchart of the program and said "this is madness." 15 years later, the byzantine chart still exists but more people are looking for "reform," a word that is repeated endlessly in this article and in the propaganda pushing this reform.

Kicking the can down the road is done because sometimes it's better than reform.

Talking Heads Sink Stocks

The markets boom when Obama is out of the country and sink when he gives a speech back in the good old USA. Can't Obama spend more time in Europe where he is universally loved?
