So Democrats in general would want a “two payer system” of health care in order to have options, right? I’m thinking that we need to really pay attention to what they have said because inevitably, I believe we would end up with the single payer(government/state run) health care system. Want proof? Ok.

In this video, Obama says he supports the single payer health care system.

However, in this video, he supports the 2 payer system… kinda. This is what he is selling to everyone in America right now.

However, if you remember one of his attacks on John McCain in the 08 presidential race was that John McCain was going to tax health care benefits that you receive from your employer? You don’t remember? Here, let me refresh your memory.

But when asked if taxing health care was on the table, this sure seems to be worse than the “read my lips” speech by George H.W. Bush in 1988. It may be necessary to tax employer-sponsored health care to expand coverage? I thought this was what they rode John McCain’s ass about during the campaign.

So what happens if the average citizen has the option to be taxed more or to take the government health care? It’s almost a no brainer to those who think that medicare is a horrible health care system. Pay the taxes. However, employers may be taxed even more and withdraw. Less customers means higher risk, higher premiums in any insurance company. In that case the government simply has to undercut the private companies. If that happens, how long will the private insurance companies be in business?

Maybe we should just watch another video of another prominent Democrat talk about health care reform.

Just discuss this on the phatooine.net forums.

Ok, I’ve been busy and have done what many have asked, giving PresBO a chance and it’s time for me to start talking again. Lots of things have happened in the last 6+ months, and a lot of it doesn’t really matter but some does.

First off, we were told that we had to bail out Chrysler and GM because the economy would be so much worse with them in bankruptcy and we couldn’t afford that. Yeah, looks like we are still here even though they are both in bankruptcy. Is it too late to get my taxes back? What does it mean? It’s all really simple, when the government tells you that they MUST do something, don’t believe it and tell your Congressman and Senators that you do not support bailing out any company. As soon as the government gives money, it wants something back and it isn’t the money, it is control.

Apparently, global warming isn’t enough to melt a glacier in Argentina. It’s a shame that this is the first report I have seen about glaciers advancing during winter. Now if they would just realize that ice forms in the winter and melts in the summer.

Of course we had some nut shoot up the holocaust museum, we had another guy kill a later term abortion doctor and it is blamed on the “right wing”. Never mind that von Brunn was about to go to a conservative magazine and start shooting because it was run by “neocons”. Wait, wasn’t there a shooting in Little Rock, Arkansas? Yeah, there was. It seems like there was a black Muslim who was opposed to the wars and decided that shooting a recruiter and a young soldier was the right thing to do, but then again there is no mention of that is there?

President Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Seems like having a person who has most of her decisions overturned by the SCOTUS, thinks that policy should be made on the Federal Appeals Court, and that just because you are a hispanic woman you will reach a better conclusion than a white man means that you are the best candidate to be a Supreme Court Justice.

Already there has been a lot of racism cries from liberals saying that any opposition to Sotomayor is race based. Nevermind that we all forget what happened to Justice Janice Rogers Brown and Miguel Estrada.

Iran had elections and, surprise, there are allegations of fraud. Their aspiring nuclear buddies, North Korea are no longer using their reactors for power but to make even more weapons grade fuel and testing rockets almost daily. Didn’t PresBO just cut funding on a missile defense shield or something?

Funny how VP Biden is saying that “everyone guessed wrong” on the unemployment numbers. Really? This is the same guy whose economic advisor has some cockamamie way of showing how many jobs have been saved while at the same time announces more job losses. The stimulus has had no effect except inflation, own it and stop blaming Bush. No, that’s not going to happen, 4 years from now we will still be told that it is Bush’s fault. Get over it, he’s not in office anymore.

Anyways, I better wrap it up for today. More to come soon. In the meantime, discuss these topics on the phatooine.net forums
