Socialism, Sweden & Three Card Monte

I just watched the president's speech, his 29th speech on health care. First impression: Wow. Does anyone know the words to the Swedish National Anthem? Cause that is where we are heading folks if the president gets his way on health care.

Let me break it down so it could be understood by those of us who are not fluent in socialist dogma:

First if you have existing health care- you get to keep it. Sounds good right? But just like the three- card monte game at Grand Central Station, you can't believe everything you see.

Because while you get to keep your health care, he will rain a sh*tstorm of regulation on the insurance companies that will ensure that a government death panel (I use the phrase to drive the libs nuts) will pull the plug on private companies.

For those who don't have coverage, the president will compel you to buy health care insurance. It will be the law.

But don't worry, if you don't have a lot of money, there will be a public option in which you could pay minimum amounts to get health care.

As the private companies go by the wayside, the public option will grow like a teenage A-Rod on steroids.

Now the most amazing thing is how the president proposes to pay for it: by finding fat/waste in the existing budget.

He is going to take the government couch and rummage through the cushions to find coins to pay for it.

The president will have you believe that his plan will achieve all of the following:

1) People with existing coverage will get better coverage.

2) For those without health care coverage, Moma Government will provide the coverage, through public options, co-ops etc.

3) The better coverage for existing people and new coverage for those without will cost less than what the government spends now on health care.

If you believe that, then follow the red queen at the Grand Central three-card monte game.
