Hats off to Verum Serum for this video montage of “The Single Payer Bunch.” Hellooooo? McFly?!? Do you still believe these people aren’t aiming for a single payer, government run system? I can’t put it better than Morgen at VS:
Watching these clips, and reflecting back on the past 6 months, I still find it hard to believe that this transparent deception hasn’t even warranted a mention outside of conservative media. (And the coverage in conservative media has been considerable.) In the rest of the media, nearly without exception the issue is framed as “critics of the public option claim”…or “conservatives claim”… that it could result in a government takeover of health care.
Uh, note to the media. The people in this video are not “critics” of the public option, and they certainly aren’t conservatives. They are some of the chief promoters of the public option. As I noted in my recent post on the failure of the media, this deception would have been treated like Watergate had a Republican administration been implicated in peddling a deception of this magnitude on the American people. ….

Legislators are debating a program called National Healthcare. It rises from a belief that every man, woman and child walking our land should have health care insurance. Where do we find the source, in our Constitution, for such a law as this? We do not. It sounds like this is great for our people, showing empathy and sympathy. Our legislators care about “their” people, as parents would care for their children. Is it meant to prevent injustice or provide justice? Justice, to them, is equal access to medical practitioners and otherwise expensive medications. Our people will not have to worry about affording the care. Government becomes our caretaker and nanny, and steps on the Constitution.
America did not begin its political life under the rule of a king, queen or Democrat to care for the little people. The little people had to care for themselves and create their own security and prosperity. People created government, but not to do for them what the caring monarch would do. They wanted government to prevent injustice by a close, small, limited organized force. It gave Americans a better life than any kingdom on earth to this point? It gave us a medical care system better than anywhere else on this planet.
Free Americans actually found a better way without guidance from their government. The discovery and manufacture of new medicines improved lifespan for Americans without the caring hand of government. Americans did well without the caring hand of government. Everyone with an illness in the world can come to America and get well. America is the best in the world. So why does government have to “change” what has done so well? What will they do with it when they take over?
The government target is cost containment. It costs too much to have wellness. Government wants to step in and manage health care. When they step in with their army of bureaucrats, the cost will rise at an alarming rate, to pay all these people to adequately care for us, to do for us what we would ordinarily do for ourselves. Bureaucrats will have to decide what medical systems have immediate value and which have limited value. More than half the medical procedures are provided to the elderly, who are closer to the end of life when bodily function failures occur. It is apparent to the bean counters that will be running the new, more caring system that the elderly cost too much to take care of. To contain costs is to deny their access to care. That is a simple solution to the problem of cost containment.
That is their solution to the rising cost of healthcare, the elimination of those who need it most. However, the high cost of the enormous regulating bureaucracy may eat into those savings and require more ingenuity in cost-cutting. Who is next? The next big users of medical care are the unborn and the very young, none of whom has reached a point of being useful. So, the solution is simple, again. Do not treat them or let them go the way of the elderly? Then, how deep and intense should diagnostics really be, when a simple shot-in-the-dark decision can be made by a medical practitioner? If the practitioner is wrong, as might be the case with her youth and lack of experience, what is the worst that can happen? The patient dies!
