What's In The Bill ?

Shock: Inside the Healthcare Bill

Inside the language of the bill --- It’s filled with references to “underrepresented minority groups” and designed to encourage federal grantees and contractors to get their numbers right. Racism, but good racism.

Following the mad recommendations of Peter Singer made in NYT's Sunday magazine, it pays to take a look at what is actually in the healthcare bill.

It's worse than you can possibly imagine. Somehow, it manages to be Singer on steroids. Who wrote this bill. It has Singer's footprints all over it.

Here's the full Health Care bill that sits in the House.

England's Socialized Medicine

What do all socialist schemes to run health care have in common -- They all result in rationing. In fact everything run by government, results in rationing. Why, because when things are free, or at least appear to be free, then the only result is a bottomless pit of insatiable demand. It's like some law of the jungle that when supply is artificially constrained people will wait in longer and longer lines to get the few that remain.

The Soviet Union of old tried this, and it resulted in the entire country doing nothing more than waiting in long lines, for everything.

We would be wise to pay attention to the English socialized health care before we ram head on into the same dead end. The headline shows how supply is being rationed, not as many beds. A major decrease in quality while at the same time, constricting supply.

NHS hospitals lose 32,000 beds in a decade

More than 30,000 hospital beds have been lost since Labour came to power, with record cuts in NHS wards last year. The Department of Health claims bed numbers have fallen because hospitals are more efficient, with patients staying for shorter periods

The cutbacks mean increasing numbers of hospitals are going on "black alert" – which involves closing their doors to new patients because they are full.

Patients' groups described the loss of the beds, at a time when overcrowded wards have seen soaring rates of killer infections, as "a national scandal".

The reduction contradicts a pledge from Tony Blair at the turn of the century that there would be 7,000 more NHS beds by 2010. New figures, seen by The Telegraph, show that the number of health service beds fell more than 8,000 last year, as the NHS began a reorganisation process which will mean the closure of dozens of hospitals.

More than 40 per cent of maternity units turned away women in labour last year because they had no room.

Meanwhile, ambulances have been forced to queue outside overstretched hospitals, treating patients in car parks just yards from accident and emergency departments. The new statistics, revealed in response to a parliamentary question by Ed Vaizey, the Conservative MP, show that almost 32,000 NHS hospital beds went between 1997, when Labour took office, and 2007.

Costs sky-rocket with insatiable demand, the only possible solution is to cut back the number that can be taken in at a time -- Meaning, lengthen the lines.

Nothing complicated about it. Free is never free, no matter who tells you otherwise. The only thing absolutely free in the world is ignorance, and that we seem to have in never ending abundant supply.

When you give up your responsibilities you will have no more rights.

Blame Washington, Not Oil Companies

Senate Democrats, dragging executives from five major U.S. oil companies before them for a second day, say they're alarmed by our "failed" oil markets. What they should be is ashamed.

After all, it's mostly the fault of the Congress that we're in this mess. True, the Big 5 announced profits of $36 billion in the first quarter, as oil breached $100 a barrel and just kept going. This prompted nothing but contempt from Illinois Sen. Richard Durbin this week: "Where is your corporate conscience?" he asked the oil executives, forced to sit and listen.

Well, markets have failed. But the failure is due to Congress' refusal to let oil companies drill on federal lands, thereby cutting sharply into our supply of crude as world demand grows and prices soar both here and abroad

So ... exactly what do we replace markets with Sen Durbin? Tell us, don't try and hide, be like Maxine Waters did Wednesday, be up front with the plan -- SOCIALISM, right Senator? Socialism, the biggest failure ever known.

The markets did not fail, the have been forced to restrict supply because of government. It's becoming obvious that the Democrat Socialists in Congress want to nationalize oil companies and take over the energy business, what for you ask, as a way of controlling people.

A direct assault on capitalism and the free markets, followed by an assault on individual freedom of Americans. Why do you think these Democrat Socialists attack Walmart, big health care, the mortgage industry ... all an attempt to get you to support them taking over control of industries.
