The "progressive" goal on health care

So what the hell are "progressives" trying to accomplish with nationalized health care?

Here's the words right from a blue blooded liberal..............

The typical argument for ObamaCare is that it will offer better medical care for everyone and cost less to do it, but occasionally a supporter lets the mask slip and reveals the real political motivation. So let's give credit to John Cassidy, part of the left-wing stable at the New Yorker, who wrote last week on its Web site that "it's important to be clear about what the reform amounts to."

Mr. Cassidy is more honest than the politicians whose dishonesty he supports. "The U.S. government is making a costly and open-ended commitment," he writes. "Let's not pretend that it isn't a big deal, or that it will be self-financing, or that it will work out exactly as planned. It won't. What is really unfolding, I suspect, is the scenario that many conservatives feared. The Obama Administration . . . is creating a new entitlement program, which, once established, will be virtually impossible to rescind."

Why are they doing it? Because, 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.

This explains why Nancy Pelosi is willing to risk the seats of so many Blue Dog Democrats by forcing such an unpopular bill through Congress on a narrow, partisan vote: You have to break a few eggs to make a permanent welfare state. As Mr. Cassidy concludes, "Putting on my amateur historian's cap, I might even claim that some subterfuge is historically necessary to get great reforms enacted."

What's most humorous is the left characterization of conservatives as simply parroting the rush Limbaugh/Glenn Beck marching orders; yet they have no problems participating in a lie perpetrated by the left's hierarchy and simply parroting that knowing the fallout.

It's almost as if the lefties are saying "we know this is a bad idea that will wreck our economy but at least everyone will have the same level of care; albeit crappy for everyone and we're more than willing to perpetuate the lies to smoke screen this issue to our dumb ass constituencies."

How's that Hope and Change working for you now?
