Die quickly

Representative Alan Grayson announced in congress last week that, “The republican health care plan is for the sick to die quickly.”

So what?
Sure Alan Grayson addressed congress with inflammatory words, but this is nothing new to congress. Congress members have been screaming at each other since the beginning.

Instead, let’s ask ourselves the following questions. Is there any truth to Grayson’s words? And what is Grayson’s agenda?

Grayson is clearly attempting to bolster Obama’s healthcare plan while tearing at the Republican’s views. Grayson attempts to present the “Republican heath care plan” by using the classical liberal game plan of no facts and plenty of emotion. He presents three points on a large sheet of paper. They are as follows: “The republican health care plan is 1)Don’t get sick 2)If you get sick 3)Die quickly.”

Grayson is extremely correct with his first point. Republicans would appreciate if American’s could just not get sick. That’s why these darn Republicans keep pushing free market capitalism, and an environment where whoever develops the best cures gets the most recognition. The people with the best technology and surgical equipment get paid the most and get to keep coming up with stuff that will accomplish not “getting sick.”
(Does point one imply that the liberal party wants people to get sick?)

Grayson is also correct in his second point. Yes, Republicans do realize that people will get sick. (Although we wouldn’t mind if Grayson would give a demonstration... say permanent laryngitis?)

Point three, however, is completely incorrect.*
(There may be few potential exceptions)

It can be safely assumed that Grayson is referring to the Republican’s no governmental aid stance for his bright conclusion of “republicans want sick people to die quickly.”

In short Grayson is implying that republicans are Scrooges who sneer at the little boy on crutches.

The leftist stance on the matter (im assuming) would be considered, “wanting the sick to throw down their crutches and leap around in the field of daisies while What a Wonderful World plays in the back ground.

Unfortunately its not this simple.

I don’t know who convinced the American people that government is this wonderful fairy godmother here to take care of our ills and woes. Whoever it is he deserves treatment three. What makes us think that government health insurance will be anymore “honest” that private health care insurance? Obama says that government insurance is going to keep the private health care insurance in check. Who is going to keep government in check? Oh, wait I forgot it’s the health care of the people…never mind, we’re good.

Government run health insurance is sure to have the compassion of the IRS, the efficiency of the post office, and the heavenly atmosphere of the DMV.

As Ronald Regan stated, “Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem.” Government is not going to solve the heath care issues of the poor. The government is not even going to help. It is incapable.

This is an inverse relationship.
The more power we give the US government the less power we have.

The less power the American people have the less free we are.
