First I will tell you who will not benefit, the working, productive, American Tax payer. Now the rest of the story.
What if, the federal government forced everyone to buy a particular manufactured product and then promised to subsidize a new product for those that could not afford to comply with such a mandate? Who would pay for the subsidies and who would benefit financially from such a mandate?
This scenario is a perfect picture of health care reform, and it reveals how the new health care reform will work. If the federal government forced everyone in America to purchase a certain product, there would undoubtedly be some who would not be able to afford this product. The government would then establish a subsidized program that would allow those "less fortunate," to have the same product. The funding for this program would come from tax payer dollars.
Although, the above scenario is a far stretch, albeit possible, this is exactly what will take place under OBAMACARE. Millions of tax payers will be forced to purchase a plan that the government mandates from a private insurer. These same Americans will then incur excess taxes, these taxes will be used to help "those less fortunate," purchase the same product. This is an example of wealth redistribution and corporate fascism.
Despite the absurdity of this measure there is still an elephant in the room that nobody seems to notice. Who stands to benefit from such a program? The answer is twofold, and quite shocking.
The Federal Government and the health industry!
How?
1. The federal government will expand and assume control over 1/6th of our economy, we will find that this expansion of government will lead to mass intrusion of our individual liberty and privacy. In the end, the federal government, under the guise of helping those who can't help themselves, will essentially have greater control over our lives, further eroding liberty. The primary means and purpose of this agenda is CONTROL, do not be fooled by the false compassion of the progressives nor their utopian visions.
2. The health industry is actually a huge supporter of this movement and despite the rhetoric of the president, he too is in bed with these "fat cat" lobbyist. During the 2008 election cycle, employees and executives at HMO's gave 5.7 million dollars to "Big Business," Republicans while dolling out a staggering 8.6 million to "Big Government" Democrats.
Screeeeeeeeeeeeechhhhhhh! Wait a minute! Lets get this straight, Democrats received more money from HMO's than did the "evil" Republicans? Yes, and it doesn't end there. During the same election campaign, hospitals and nursing homes contributed 3 times more to the Democrats, in fact Barack Hussein Obama received 19.4 million from the Health Care Sector alone, more than any candidate has ever received from that sector in the history of American politics!
Just in case your wondering, the Presidents total of 19.4 million was more than the top 10 Republican recipients COMBINED! Now, let me ask the question, Who is in bed with big business? The common response that Republicans are big business supporters doesn't hold water in light of the big business connections of modern day progressives. We are witnessing the merger of government and corporations and have been for several years. To ignorantly assume that one party is not affiliated with this fascistic growth of government is absurd and deserving of a mental examination!
So, let me summarize. The president wants to "reform" the best system in the world, although flawed, just because he is compassionate for the "common people." By doing so, he is going to come to the rescue by forcing every American to have health insurance. Naturally, everyone will not be able to afford this socialist dream come true, so the government will have to subsidize this program with tax payer dollars. But don't worry, only those super rich people, you know the ones that pay taxes, they will take care of it...........
The insurance companies, HMO's, big Pharma, hospitals, nursing homes etc, are now lining up with their hands out for these government subsidies. According to James Carlson, CEO of Amerigroup Corp., this new program could bring in over 10 million new "customers," is it any wonder that Carlson said, "most of what we're reading would grow our business dramatically."
If you still think that the president is dedicated to ending "politics as usual, " consider this, the very corporations that are benefiting from these programs are among the largest lobbying groups in Washington. Instead of being the "special interests" that rail against change, they are actually lobbying for CHANGE and reform. After all, what company wouldn't want the government to force everyone to buy their product?
