Don’t say we didn’t warn you if Obama gets elected and tries the same sort of thing:
Hawaii is dropping the only state universal child health care program in the country just seven months after it launched.
Gov. Linda Lingle’s administration cited budget shortfalls and other available health care options for eliminating funding for the program. A state official said families were dropping private coverage so their children would be eligible for the subsidized plan.
“People who were already able to afford health care began to stop paying for it so they could get it for free,” said Dr. Kenny Fink, the administrator for Med-QUEST at the Department of Human Services. “I don’t believe that was the intent of the program.”
Wow, if you give something away for free, people won’t want to pay for it anymore! Nobody could possibly have seen that one coming.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
SCHIP
JLenardDetroit (Diary) Tuesday, October 21st at 8:21PM EST (link)and as WE all recall (Dem’s didn’t care about truth behind) what was going on with the SCHIP expansion. If we do not stop Obama, they will glide right past the “incremental” implementation of complete Socialized HC and on to the real thing.

TheAdmiral (Diary) Tuesday, October 21st at 10:10PM EST (link)Update
It’s from March but looks like what’s happening in Mass. is what’s happened when it’s been tried other places around the world. Participants overload the system so benefits excee the money coming into the system. You either have to raise taxes to provide more funding or you ration care. It’s what will happen under Obama’s plan. McCain’s plan makes much more sense. The fact that we can’t shop health insurance across state lines like car insurance is just mind boggling.

The problem with states
ColoKid Tuesday, October 21st at 10:55PM EST (link)trying to handle health care programs is that they have limited resources. As everyone knows, these programs will work at the federal level, because the feds have UNlimited resources. For example, Obama could finance his universal healthcare plan by borrowing from the Social Security Trust Fund. Hey, it’s still got eight more years of positive cash flow, so why not? No? Okay, here’s a better idea: we’ll just print more money to cover the cost. That’s sure something a state can’t do. Too inflationary, you say? Wait! Wait! Here we go — we’ll just give everyone who signs up for the program a “tax cut”! Obamanomics Lesson 1:”Tax cuts” will pay for everything.
