Still, the letter provides the fullest statement of Mr. Obama’s views on proposals at the heart of legislation to cover all Americans, his top domestic priority. [/blockquote]
And he proposes to tax health benefits as income, which would have to be paid out of already taxed income. So no pressure or coercion here. But not to worry because “Big Brother and the Democrats know best.”
It was said in the 1990s during the HillaryCare days and I’ll say it again, “If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it’s ‘free.'”
OK, so I see a theme and a trend here emerging from health care and the bailout of the motor vehicle industry – – while BHO says he does not want the government to takeover and run private industry, he is definitely setting up government-run companies to compete with private industry. So how did our government respond in the past to other countries’ subsidizing of industries that exported products to our country? So how has it worked out in the past for government companies to compete with private industry? How has it worked out for government to takeover a sector of private industry?

Can the 2010 and 2012 elections come fast enough?
