All the king's men won't fix health care again
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, (the best medical care in the world).
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
Not really, the King and the King's men pushed, pulled, bribed, threatened, bought, lied, cheated until they were able to push Humpty Dumpty off so that they would have control of the very most important thing to your life, Health Care!
All the King's men and all of the Kings horses made no effort to save Humpty Dumpty, but laughed derisively at his fall and the destruction of the health system that had the shortest wait for emergency surgery,for heart surgery, for joint replacement, preventative treatment of early stroke, the fastest time for diagnosis and referral of cancer and the best results in the World. But the King and all his men cared nothing about the good care people received, but were only enthralled with how much control (total) that they could have of you and how many taxes they could raise, how big a bureaucracy, how difficult they could make it for everyone to get prompt, excellent care. They embraced mediocrity, failure - and early death!
As you complete the 21 page application for Obamacare, you probably will be struck that most of the questions have to do with how much money everyone in your household earns or gets from any source and to which of the 15 ethnic groups listed you belong. Never can be found anything about your health! I have great concern about the dismantling of our complicated health care system by a "king" whose apparent goal is to destroy his Kingdom and his peasant slaves!
Remember the words of the "Great One":
"Let me be clear! We will insure 30 million more people, it will not cost you one dime more, you can keep your doctor if he doesn't retire early, treatment will still be the high quality it always has been, health insurance premiums will decrease by $2,500 a family, and there will be no new taxes." The best news of all is that the price of "snake oil" will drop a record amount from the longstanding price of $1,000 a bottle to the unheard of low of $999.50!
But we have added a new tax of 10 perfect on it. What a bargain! Aren't you glad I bribed, threatened, coerced, lied, cheated, spent taxpayers money on trips and give-away deals to get it passed by one vote? So you could forever be controlled by me?
Who needs to worry about jobs, I will take care of you. Just "trust me"! Heaven forbid that I should ever do or say any word to mislead you!
I believe that although the above has been oft repeated, it only contains half-truths and lies. There is no truth in it. The statements are crafted to convince those too apathetic to check the true facts, that he has your welfare and interests to his heart. If having a strangle hold on your life is for your best interest, then believe what he, Reid and Pelosi say and may you rest in peace because of your shortened life!
I do not write this in jest - it is in fact no joke - but a deadly story about the plans (and now law) that the "king" has forced upon us. Far worse and more serious than what King George did which resulted in the Revolutionary War!!! Read the Declaration of Independence to see for yourself.
