Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

The plan to reach Socialized Medicine

Barney Frank says: "I think if we get a good public option it could lead to single payer, and that's the best way to reach single payer."

Obama isn't telling the truth when he is trying to sell this thing.

His Hopeful Changeness may be lying about his plans, but a lot of us have known all along that he and his supporters are headed for single-payer, which some of us think will lead to single-provider. The Post Office as Dr. Welby.
Even if it would be cheap (it will be expensive) and it worked well (it will be swamped with administrative elements and delays) it would still violate the Constitution and founding principles. Private sector business belongs in the private sector.

Buddy, Let's abscond from this foolishness. I have a single-payer plan that I think will work good. I will give you all my tax money and you can be my doctor.

Do you want to be my doctor and receive my tax monies?

Circle one: YES NO

Dr. Buddy,

I have a sore throat. What shall I do? It might be my tonsils. Do you have a telescopic probe? I tried looking but I can't see them. And don't tell me to gargle with warm salt water because I already tried. Molasses didn't help at all.

ow. :(
