A picture is worth a thousand words, in this case a thousand bureaucratic nightmares. Received late night in my email from Our Country Deserves Better PAC, the chart was obtained by Congressman Kevin Brady. It obviously shows the peril - the incongruent myriad of moving parts that the Feds assume that they can harness and manage with their so-called plan. What do you think?
Yesterday here in the New York Times, a Mr. Peter Singer argued for health-care rationing. After reading most of the piece, again here, I came away with several gut feelings, being -
a). Secular progressives actually want to control the life and death of Americans, they think that they know best. In the history of the world, what is this eerily reminiscent of?
b). Secular, godless progressives believe that socialized medicine or the 'public option' is an end-all to control costs in medicine by rationing. The NYT piece implicitly states this.
c). The same man, this Mr. Singer is professor of bioethics at Princeton University and authored a book titled, "The Life You Can Save : Acting Now To End World Poverty."
Yes folks, The Life You Can Save : Acting Now To End World Poverty. How is it that I can already guess the contents of this so called book? Do you think that he offers freedom and open markets to end world poverty? How about the dignity of the individual? The sanctity of life? So the same man, an intelligentsia egghead, arguing for rationing in health care also thinks that he has the 
answer to end world poverty. There is a spiritual component to every political problem we face in our country.
Every major horror of history was committed in the name of an altruistic motive.

Never underestimate the American people. I don't say it enough but it's true, (at least sometimes). Today a Rasmussen poll here showing that 78% of US voters think that health care reform will likely result in higher taxes on the middle class.
And I'll leave you today on a note of humor - God knows we need it. Hat-tip to Reason.com for putting a sattircal spin on the health care nonsense thrust upon us. Enjoy.

Love the video. I'm totally stealing it.....
@ goddess - We need the humor!
Awesome. Thanks for the pick-me-up. I go cross eyed everytime I look at that chart.
Laugh or cry. Thanks for the giggle.
There is so much waste on this chart, and it's obvious this is bait for illegal aliens and the hispanic community to embrace the Democrats.
They say that humor always contains a grain of truth. Unfortunately, that applies to the chart.
You made me smile!!!
I heard today that the house version contains wording that companies will not be allowed to give insurance to anyone who has not already being covered starting in January. I need to look into that more. That is totally scary, so thanks for making light of this horror show.
LCR, I'm speechless. The horror never stops. I feel like I'm living that movie of the book "1984." Witnessing this destruction of our Republic is like watching a house burn down. I don't like it but feel powerless to stop it.
I wish some strong conservative leader would rally the base, give us hope and come out swinging.
Great Post LCR, I was going to do something similar...I think you have it covered.
Looking at and trying to understand that chart...That hurts my brain and my wallet. How lng will I have to wait for relief from the headache?
Got yet another call last night from the GOP asking for money. Their sense of timing is just absurd. I’m sitting in my chair watching Republican senators getting ready to vote FOR a Supreme Court nominee who had shown herself to be a liar and a bigot, because, as the puppet press would have use believe, her nomination was a lock, and any vote against her would show Republicans to be bigoted and they would lose Hispanic votes.
What tripe.
So I hung up on them. There’s a first time for everything.
Many times I have given money and many times I have not. But I always talked with them and the caller at least seemed to listened.
Not this time. This time I wanted to send a message loud and click.
I will not support these wimps. I can’t. Until I see some “stones” up on capital hill I won’t be sending my hard earned money.
I love their line, "But we need you now more than ever!" Sorry Miss Telemarketer, that line is reserved for regestered Republicans. we just can't seem to find any one willing to take the arrows f leadership.
@ Kris - me too, imagine that it represents life and death decisions for us, (potentially)
@ Ananda - both!
@ BBill - You do know that illegals will be put on this 'system'?
@ Consgirl - It is scary stuff!
@ Stogie - I agree, when will this madness stop
@ KOOK - Thanks, you can repost this if you want to!
@ Eman - There are millions that feel just as you do - it's why McCain lost the base and lost the election!
