The unanswerable argument nowadays seems to be, "
They need it."
Whatever designs our rulers have on us, whatever monstrous travesty of
a program they want to pass, the argument is always, "Look at these
poor needy people."
To wit:
Pass health care. For everyone. Let all who are sick and
dying get the same care that [Kennedy] got in his last year. And if you are not
satisfied with what you are hearing or seeing on the news.....then be Americans
and say what you need to say to your elected officials, who say what they need
to say on your behalf. -- Jamie Lee Curtis
In other words, the only way poor people can get medical care, is if
the federal government annexes, nationalizes, assumes total control
over, the medical field.
I seem to remember when the cry "they need it" was raised about
housing. Our rulers managed to pass Section VIII laws without taking
over the entire building-trades industry. So why is annexing the
medical field the only answer to providing medical care for poor
people?
Answer: it isn't. The poor are just a cat's paw, a McGuffin, a pretext
in whose name would-be dictators and governmental "czars" want to take
over the medical field. Now is not the time for appeasement -- let a
dictator invade one industry without resistance, and he'll go for the
whole world.
All the snooty, smart-aleck, elitist do-gooder lefties in the country
are bound and determined to screw up the whole doctor-patient
relationship. (Hillary was the original would-be czarina of the medical
field.) They want to assume total control over us, our doctors, our
medical care, the insurance companies, and everything else, and turn us
into serfs and chattels, receiving whatever care they care to dish out,
like so many pathetic Oliver Twists.
Well as for me, "Please, sir, may I have no more of this sinister plot?"
