Thankfully, the American people aren't quite as gullible as Obama would like for them to be.
As it becomes clearer that The Liberal One really wants the Government to take over our every day lives, Americans are growing skeptical of this approach.
The Post Reports: Splinters in Health Care Debate
Hopefully, we are turning the corner on this wretched idea.
To be sure, there are things the Government can do that will help, such as protecting physicians & hospitals against soaring litigation costs, and streamlining the medical information system to be computerized.
But forcing people to buy health insurance or pay a penalty is a fundamentally bad idea. Forcing businesses to do the same is an even more egregious no-no.
If people opt not to carry coverage when they plainly can afford to do so -- screw 'em if something happens. Those people should not even be allowed to file bankruptcy.
What about the poor people? The working and non-working folks who literally cannot afford coverage? They should be allowed to participate in Medicare on a sliding subsidized scale. How simple is that?
But to allow the Government to set up shop and become the WalMart of health insurers is fundamentally a flawed concept.
Thankfully, people are beginning to see the light - and just in the nick of time.
