All Aboard! ObamaCare: One Step Closer to World Peace

President Barack Obama promised "Universal Health Care" to all during his campaign.. and now, it seems that the Democrat-run Legislature intends to carryout his wishes. But what does this mean for you? Will this health care bill really do what Obama and the media say it will?

SOCIALISM
Absolutely not. First of all, let's analyze what "Universal Health Care" really is. It's government-run health care, right? The government will nationally own and administrate hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, etc.. Hmm.. That sounds a bit like..
1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods"

AKA Socialism. So, if firing CEOs of car companies, buying car companies, buying banks, appointing czars, etc.. doesn't prove that Obama has a socialist agenda, then you've got to admit that "socializing" medicine is.. well, socialist.

This is completely antithetical of how democracy.. how capitalism functions. It's a well-known FACT that capitalist systems are much more efficient and democratic than are command economic systems, in which resources are allocated by a central government. So, why should we expect Obama's socialist Health Care Reform to be any different?


HEALTH CARE MONOPOLY
What would happen if the referee of a football game decided to play? What if he played on the other team? Would you speak up, and complain that it's not fair?

This parallels what ObamaCare will do to private companies and health insurance. Right now, the government regulates health care-- referees. If they jump in the game, not only do they get to set the rules of the game, but since it's government-run, they don't have to make a profit. How is this fair for private industry? It isn't. Most health care providers WILL get shafted. That's right. You will lose your job. Who can compete with someone who makes all the rules and doesn't have to turn a profit?

How about a Doctor's take?


INEFFICIENCY AND POOR SERVICE
What government-run agency is efficient and/or quick to get through? Ever been to the DMV?

If you seriously think ObamaCare will be "better" than what you already have now, then you're in for quite a surprise. First of all, the only people who benefit from this bill (Yes, there are a few) are the extremely poor people who cannot afford any health care... because ObamaCare will be free of charge. So, about how many people is that?

...even the liberal Kaiser Family Foundation puts the number of uninsured Americans who don't qualify for government programs and make less than $50,000 a year between 8.2 million and 13.9 million.

Whoa! That's a staggering 3.33% of the US!

Okay, fine.. So it's more like communism.. I actually do want to work hard, and pay for those who sit on their ass all day popping babies out every 9 months. But, what will the service be like?

Well, let's think logically.. In the private sector, doctors strive to be the best.. Why? Well, we're still a semi-capitalist nation.. Hard work typically ushers in success, more patients, and a larger pay-check. Basically, if a doctor can save your life, then he makes more money. His pay is directly proportionally to how hard he works, and how well he does. Not so much in a socialist system... In a government-run system, mediocre doctors will be hired, doctors will be paid less, and service will be much worse. The government employees will all be paid the same.. regardless of whether you live or die.. In fact, they will probably try to rush you in and out as fast as possible.. overlook a few minor details.. which in turn could lead to cancer or other life-threatening circumstances. But, enough of me ranting.. why don't you see for yourself?
Here's a cool two minute video that sums it up with legos!

ObamaCare: A real-life trip to a country with socialized medicine.

ObamaCare bill tells seniors to "drop dead".


OKAY THE SERVICE IS BAD, BUT MOST AMERICANS FAVOR THE BILL ANYWAY, RIGHT?
Oh?
53% of Americans oppose ObamaCare

Why are Democrats Rushing to Saddle America With an Unwanted Health Care Overhaul?

Wake-up. Think for yourself, and stop letting the media run your life.

WHO BENEFITS?
As I said earlier, the 3.33% of Americans who cannot afford health care will benefit from this plan, as YOU will be paying for their healthcare as well. The middle class will be most affected. 83 million would lose private coverage. Taxes would need to be raised to afford such a massive transition into socialized healthcare.. Not only federal income taxes, but also state taxes as well.. We're in the middle of a recession, mind you.. One that Obama promised to fix, and create new jobs within months.. but that's a completely different issue. Anyway, YOU will get shafted. The majority of Americans. Why? Because, you will be paying for the healthcare through taxes.. and the few private healthcare providers that survive will be extremely expensive (Due to the loss of clientele, rise in prices of materials, etc.) and only the super-rich Americans will be able to afford it. So, basically.. You will be paying more for a crappy system which takes forever, has terrible service, and you will be unable to do anything about it. What are you going to do? You wont be able to afford private health care anymore.. And do you really want the government telling you what you can go to the health clinic for? Yearly checkups? Don't make me laugh. You will only be admitted if you're dead or dying, and still you will have to take a number and wait.


---------------------------------------------------
So what's this all mean for you? Well, Obama is trying to run his bill through congress as fast as possible so you can't stand up for yourself and voice your own opinion.

What are you still doing? Think for yourself, dammit. Don't let the Mainstream Media think for you. You're an intelligent human being. Think for yourself-- Understand that your president is forcing socialism down your throat.. If you're okay with socialism, and you don't mind busting your ass so others can sit on theirs, then you have nothing to worry about. Change is indeed coming. Otherwise, you need to do something. Notify your congressman, spread the word, or something. Don't just assume someone else will-- What if everyone thinks like this? What if everyone just steps back and waits for other people to take the initiative? No. Stand up, spread the word, and let people know that this is a terrible idea. Don't let Orwell's dystopia become reality.
