Maggie's Farm

If my memory serves me [and it usually does] the Democratic party technique is to invent a crisis, blather about it in the supine media, and then offer a 'big government' solution which will drop the country even deeper in debt. That's the Liberal way.
The so-called 'health crisis' is an excellent example. If you will direct your memory to those golden days before Obama swanned into town, most of us adult citizens were not really all that discontented with Medicare. We figured it needed some tweaking, but by-and-large it served us fairly well. After all, we as adults are used to paying the bills we are presented with using our own money. Now, with the Obamacare staring us in the face, we know we are in deep trouble.

Mr. Obama's "solution" to the made-up "healthcare crisis" is to get the elderly folks to die quickly, [death panels manned by untrained busybodies] and use the money the Medicare system uses for elderly folks, to add thousands and thousands of uninsured people to the already overburdened system.

The Democrats deliberately ignored the present health system which already covers illegals and the jobless who turn up at emergency rooms which by law have to treat them. That's an awkward fact, since it removes the emergency from "the health emergency."
