Beware the Compromise

[Jim Ostrowski]

You could see this coming a mile away. With the stalling of the "public option," a compromise is being proposed which would expand Medicaid for catastrophic events and pass the bill along to insurance companies. As I think Ayn Rand said, in any compromise between food and poison, poison wins. Any compromise health care bill that moves towards more government control will be a victory for Obama and fully socialized medicine. This proposal will increase the demand for health care, raise prices, and increase the already crushing load of cartelized health insurance, leading to calls for fully socialized medicine in the very near future. Government creates its own demand. Let no one but John McCain be fooled by this Trojan Horse.

The proposal from the lawmaker, Senator Max Baucus, who heads the Finance Committee, would impose new fees on some sectors of the health care industry, but none on individuals, to help offset initial costs estimated at $880 billion over 10 years, according to officials familiar with the outline.

And where does the health care industry get their money?

WOW!!! They really think we're stupid.
