The Wall Street Journal Looks Behind Obamacare

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Today's Wall Street Journal posted an article about the two hidden motives involved in the quest to pass Congress' healthcare bill.  John Cassidy at the New Yorker points out that Congress is creating a new entitlement program that once it is put into place will be impossible to undo. 

The article states:

"...according to Mr. Cassidy, ObamaCare serves the twin goals of "making the United States a more equitable country" and furthering the Democrats' "political calculus." In other words, the purpose is to further redistribute income by putting health care further under government control, and in the process making the middle class more dependent on government. As the party of government, Democrats will benefit over the long run."

The passage of ObamaCare will create a permanent welfare state.  The money needed to support 'the public option' will be money taken from people who work hard to get ahead and create wealth for themselves and others and given to people who choose not to work.  It will also mean the cutting of medical care for the elderly of our country and an unfair tax burden on the people just entering the work force in order to pay for the program.  If the policies of the Obama Administration in healthcare and cap and trade are enacted, we can expect a permanent unemployment rate of over 10 per cent.
