Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. – Albert Einstein
It takes a lot of energy to move forward day after day being wrong in every respect. To lie about every detail of your ideal and slander your opponent, creating boogeymen to fear and hate, is really a lot of work. In the coming days and weeks, you are going to see the creators of Astroturf ( Obama’s advisors et al) gin up dozens or hundreds of pro ObamaCare conflagrations. They will not be spontaneous. They will not be genuine. They will be paid for by BigPharma, BigUnion, and Big Industries that want to see government take over their burden of paying for health care for their employees.
Possibly the most frightening, and offensive speak from these groups is “Medicare for all”. This is total reality avoidance. Right now, 140 million pay 2.9% of their wages and salaries for 42 million mostly older Americans. Where oh where do these people think the money is going to come from? By 2019 it will be close to 11%. If these people get their way, you will be doing nothing but working and handing your check over to the government to pay for your health care, or someone elses. This isn’t rocket science. You just have to work it out.
Well-funded Fraser Institute is paid to knock public health care. They have had quite a history of misleading citizens who were hoping to obtain accurate information:
