Be forewarned, Democrats in Congress are meeting in secret to develop their next assault on our freedom and wallets. It is apparent that they are going to propose a universal government health insurance program.

My prediction, if this passes we will see the following: 1) because this program will be paid by businesses in the form of much higher taxes all businesses, including mine, will drop company sponsored plans; 2) there will be no choice because the government sponsored program will be able to unfairly compete given the ability to use our tax dollars; 3) when they experience ever increasing costs associated with the program we will begin to experience rationing of health care services as government employees begin to decide the cost and benefit; 4) there will be a shortage of doctors that will accept government insurance patients and they will go to concierge programs that only the wealthy can afford; 5) state and federal employees (including those in Congress) will be exempted and will still be able to get their current insurance programs; and 6) the poor, low-income working and middle class will be screwed once again but Dems will find some way to blame greedy doctors or Republicans and the sycophantic media will play their role as useful idiots as usual.

Hound, make a note of my prediction. By the way, I just spent several days in our Toronto office and the horror stories of the Canadian health care system were amazing. Yet they all said, but its free! I pointed out the confiscatory taxes they pay and they said, yeah, there is that problem. This is what happens when you get a majority of people suckling at the government teet, it changes the electoral dynamics and gives power to big government.

Finally, despite the claims of bipartisanship there is not one single Republican involved in these discussions......unless you count Benedict Specter who can't remember what side he is on.
