George – the first domino fell a long long time ago, The current domino number is beyond my ability to count.

Another thing Obama care would mean is the first domino has fallen. As a portent of things to come, passage of the bill would inspire further iron-fisted attempts to demonstrate the will of the government. As unappealing as correspondence with idiot shirkers is (is it wrong to use the cognomen in my correspondence if it’s objectively true?), I’ll let them know how I feel… without expletives… I hope.

Clearly, this is not about health care, but about taking over the economy. Everything is related to health care – from the food we eat to the cars we drive. So in the guise of keeping us healthy, the government will limit our choices. They will “ram it down our throats” as a leftist I know once said. And that is how they think – they know better how we should live, how our money should be spent, and soon how we should die.

While it looks bleak now, actions least to reactions. This is not only true in the Newtonian sense, but in the human sphere of interactions as well. Linear extrapolations of the future based on trends in the present are only accurate for short periods of time.

So while we know the actions of Congress we do not know the reactions of the people. The first of these reactions will occur on election day Tuesday. Others will come along.

Of course, government should have NO role in how people take care of their individual medical decisions. I think that Obama and his crew want single payer – but realizing that it can’t be done, they will add more nonsense to the already overburdened bureaucratic health-mess:

Union plans, public options, federal mandates, Romneycare, Health-Savings-Accounts, HMO’s, PPO’s, networked coverage, “Cafeteria plans”, Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP, supplemental coverage, Kennedy-Kassebaum, Dole-care, catastrophic plans, deductibles, Prescription drug plans, optical plans, dental plans, fixed fees, state mandates, free clinics, malpractice-based defensive medicine, vaccine rationing, licensing, ….

After employing 40% of the workforce of the country just managing this godforsaken mess, the “single payer” plan will eventually come in as a “simplification”. By then, medical decisions will be controlled by the World Government / International Monetary Fund since the national government will be in Chapter 11. I just hope that the scheduled “voluntary” Assisted Suicide care will be quick and painless.
