Why Obama must be stopped on healthcare

I watched the hearings last week where Obama met with both Republicans and Democrats in an attempt to gain common ground and to push his leftist healthcare agenda. There was no common ground that I could detect. The divide went to the core of how each party views the central role of government. The Republicans had little interest in having the US government massively expanded in an attempt to provide premium healthcare to every “warm body” in the US.

One of the democratic congressmen most illustrated the deep divide with his comments. The congressman said that health care is analogous to discrimination in that certain Americans get health care while others do not, (this is not true in principal) thus certain Americans are “victims of discrimination” in the United States because they don’t receive free health care.

Nothing could be more preposterous. Does this congressman also believe that unequal income levels in the US are evidence of discrimination? How about the quality of an individual’s car? Is an old car versus a new Mercedes evidence of discrimination? How about housing, bank accounts, property in general?

This is a scary leftist premise, and has been tried many times throughout history when the left gains control of the government. I am sure that the congressman would find a group of fans in the Bolsheviks of the October revolution. All people were forced to be THE SAME by law in Russia in 1917. History is very clear on this subject: Everyone becomes uniformly POOR as a result of leftist government action.

What amazes me is that leftist experiments continue to be promoted from time to time in government! I realize these leftist ideas have some popular (foolish) appeal, but to my knowledge none have ever worked!

Leftism causes poverty
Free market solutions cause prosperity

Can anyone show me an example of a leftist experiment ever working? I don’t know of a single one that has ever worked. I do however know of many free market solutions that have escalated the lives of common citizens. Since China adopted free market economics I believe that 300 million people have been brought into the middle class in China as a result of free market economics being implemented. Mao’s leftist policies caused 100’s of millions of people to live in poverty and government enslavement while Deng’s free market policies have caused 100’s of millions of Chinese to be vaulted into prosperity and freedom. Let me think Mr. Obama, which way should the US be moving?

Leftist socialized health care solutions in the US must be stopped.

Free market Health Care Solutions must be embraced in the US and most importantly, “deregulation of health care” needs to be adopted. (See my other blogs on this subject.)
