The ObamaCare farrago has revealed what Liberalism is all about: ordering everyone else around.
It used to be, if one quested Obama policies, well....you were a racist.
Question ObamaCare and it's 'you don't want poor folks to have healthcare.'
How about thinking individuals simply want to make their own decisions.
So says Larry Kudlow:
1. "May I ask this question? Why is it that Americans don't have the freedom to choose their own health insurance?.... Why must the liberal nanny state make decisions for us?"
2. So why must the government tell me and everyone else what we can and cannot buy?
3. Charles Krauthammer and the Wall Street Journal's Dan Henninger noted in excellent recent columns that this whole Obamacare business represents the greatest-ever expansion of the liberal entitlement-state dream. But I don't want that dream. And you shouldn't either.
4. ...what else I don't want: As a 60-something, relatively healthy person, I don't want lactation and maternity services, abortion services, speech therapy, mammograms, fertility treatments or Viagra.
[When the full-court press for the scam began, many of us on the right pointed to two simple fixes: allow us to purchase insurance across state lines.....and drop the mandates that are part of state law.]
5. ....services I don't need or want?
Why? Because Team Obama says I have to. And that's not much of a reason. It's not freedom.....this is federal coercion at its worst. And that's why the public is turning against it.
It's not freedom.
6. ...NBC News pulled the plug this past week on President Barack Obama's promise that "if you like your own plan, you can keep it." Ditto for keeping your own doctor. The plug was pulled because NBC learned that Team Obama knewfor three yearsthat stiff new regulations would prevent the grandfathering of existing health-care plans. And not just a few plans. But plans that could affect as many as 15 million individuals.
[What do you call one who 'speaks with forked tongue'? Oh....right...a snake.]
7. ....equally punitive regulations will hit more than 90 million employer-sponsored health plans next year. ... replacing these plans with much more expensive products will constitute a major tax hike on the entire economy.

Did I mention what a snake he is?]
8. .... younger healthy people are not going to subsidize older sicker folks. We should take care of the latter with transparent government subsidies, and not by trying to redistribute resources (again) from the young to the old.
9. Between the president's broken promises, the millions of policy cancellations, the continued website breakdowns and the unaffordable, unfair con game between the healthy young and the sicker old, this Obamacare monster is well on its way to collapsing of its own weight.
10. It's the elections of 2014 and 2016 that will allow citizens to reject this Soviet-style planning. ...Obamacare represents the greatest-ever expansion of the liberal entitlement-state dream.....crumbling and dissolving before our very eyes."
Kudlow: Liberal entitlement-state dream is crumbling
Can I get an "amen"!
