Between the inevitable rationing of care and the massive disincentives it will create for medical care innovators, Obamacare at Y+20 will have killed more people than all American wars combined.

MacAoidh (Diary) Sunday, December 13th at 10:20PM EST (link)…piece at PowerLine wherein a GOP Senate source talks about why they haven’t played all their objection cards yet which seems to make some sense.
But I am simply not confident. I can’t help but think they’re going to force this thing down the throat of the American people. It might not be everything Obama wants, and they might have to water it down, but they’re going to force that camel’s nose under the tent.

I'm not confident, either.

The camel’s nose has been under the tent for quite a while with the incremental entitlement creep. I do think this power grab will ultimately unravel, but literally, only God knows what the next disaster will be.
On another note, I pray our nation reawakens its love for liberty soon and in a big way before next November.

Not a bad analogy between ObamaCare and the Hindenburg, but...
civil truth (Diary) Monday, December 14th at 12:48AM EST (link)unfortunately, it’s not clear just who are the passengers: the Democratic congressional leadership or the American people.
In either case, it’s not an exactly sterling accomplishment on the part of the crew – Obama and his gang.
The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis

Legitimate concerns not just rhetoric
NicholasMoore Monday, December 14th at 3:37AM EST (link)I still don’t know what “ObamaCare” is… but here’s what I gather, and maybe a more knowledgeable libertarian out there can help me understand this.
The left is proposing a plan that favors prescription drug companies and hurts insurance providers, but with the belief this will also help consumers.
The right seems to be focused on the public option part which harms the insurance carriers, with the belief that they’re helping consumers.
Now, I don’t trust any politician… and I’m sure the left are pushing their plan because they’re funded by the drug lobby and the right is shooting it down because they funded by the insurance lobby. Now I have no proof, b/c if it were available it would be all over the internet… is there any politician, dem or rep that’s standing up to this pandering?
I remember reading reports about how during the debates both sides have basically been reading talking points, prepared not by congressional staffers but by the opposing lobbies. this doesn’t surprise me, it just makes me lose more trust in a system that is basically bankrupt of trust. Is there anyone in congress that’s exposing this show for what it is? (i.e. calling out both sides for being horribly corrupt)
Also, why is it called ObamaCare? I thought Obama made an interesting political move by starting out his term saying that he wasn’t going to draft a policy for the congress to decide on, rather he wanted them to work together to come up with a policy… the 2 bills before both houses were not drafted by the executive branch, but rather the independent houses of congress… so why are we calling it ObamaCare?
also, since it’s happened before, i’m not some liberal troll… i hate vegetarian, pot-smoking, hippies that make up global temperature data and love the smell of their own farts while they dutch-oven their Prius. I think the green industry is a sham to exploit the uninformed masses (i’m talking about Whole Foods and the exploiters behind cap and trade)… so go ahead and call me a liberal for asking questions that i’m surprised more libertarians aren’t asking… if this isn’t the forum for libertarians then what is?
Really? Why is it called ObamaCare?
gunnerbs (Diary) Monday, December 14th at 6:26AM EST (link)Really?
You don’t remember the “historic”, “unprecedented” address to a joint session of Congress last summer by…now, who was that?…oh yeah! President Obama? The one where Rep Joe Wilson was skewered for rightly calling out Pres Obama on a lie?
Do you remember what that speech was about?
National Healthcare!
This is Obamba’s baby, all the way. Every time you turn on the TV you hear some talking head ask, wringing thier hands, “Will Congress have a bill on the President’s desk in time for Christmas, like he wants?”
You found it an interesting “political move” that Obama publicly stated he wouldn’t draft a policy for congress to decide on? How Constitutional of him to let the legislators legislate.
You don’t fool anyone with your “Legitimate Concerns” title. You’ve been registered 2 years, this is your second comment (the other being two days old), you’ve shown leanings as a paul-bot, you favor amnesty for illegals. Heck you even called ColdWarrior a moderate in a comment to his post about being a CONSERVATIVE precinct committeman. You may fancy yourself a libertarian, but you are certainly on the Liberal end of libertarianism if you are.
And no, this isn’t the forum for libertarians. It is a forum for Conservatives. Try Reason.com.
I start with the premise that NO ONE has a right to my Life, Liberty, or Property. Beyond that I’m open to discussion.

Warrior (Diary) Monday, December 14th at 11:46AM EST (link)Give me a break with that “shills” for the _______ (fill in the blank) nonesense.
The only reason we have ANY problems with healthcare now is gubmint involvement. They control one third of the healthcare economy tail which wags two thirds of the insurance/pharma/consumer dog.
This is just one more misguided piece of “it’s not fair” crybaby legislation “needed” to ensure that abosolutely NO ONE can benefit from their own exertions, just like everything else Dear Leader Obamy does. If the LCD in the inner city can’t have it, then YOU can’t have it — it’s not FAIR, don’t you know.
(Of course, rich liberals, tenured academics, pro-sports players, Hollywood types and all the rest get a pass because they are SPECIAL — they are the ELITES — they know better than you and me and they DESERVE it. Remember how HARD “Call me Senator” Babs Boxer WORKED to get where she is. Yes, being a left wing piece of trash and giving away other people’s money IS hard work.)

Richard Mullins (Diary) Monday, December 14th at 12:08PM EST (link)If you have I haven’t seen it yet. The reason it called ObamaCare is due to who is championing it the most(e.g HillaryCare in 1993). It doesn’t change much but leftists just don’t like the US.
