HillaryHealthCare = [/Freedom]
let us count the ways
Bear with me a moment; I know this sounds like Chicken Little squawking. But as I wandered through my day, I came to realize that little that I did—or thought of doing—could not conceivably be related to my Health.
What I ate, whether and how much I exercised, what actually qualified as ‘exercise’ vs what’s just normal work, how fast I drove, what I drove, where I drove and when, how I chose to spend my leisure time, how much leisure time I actually had, my stress levels, its origins and they way I handled it—everything down to the danged shooooz I chose [heels are dangerous, yanno] and whether or not I wore a coat and scarf are all related in some way to my health.
Once Hillary is allowed to reach into my wallet/bank account to grab whatever amount she chooses in order to force all of this "shared responsibility" on me, I am responsible—like it or not. Now that fathead in the car next to me slamming down his normal three doubledouble cheezeburger lunch is facing his bypass on my dime. And when I trip over a crack in the sidewalk in my fabu new pumps, my busted leg is on his dime.
"Shared responsibility" means I’ve not only got Hillary up my sleeve, but every Tom, Dick and Harriette she has forced into sharing responsibility for me with me. And vice versa.
Seems like the ultimate in “camel’s nose in the tent” to me.
A wise friend of mine said, “If you think health care is expensive now, wait till it’s free”.
What the government giveth (as they say), the government can taketh away, and more likely, the government can ration - as they do in Canada and England.
Hillary studied well under Saul Alinksy. (And Obama worked with his disciples.)
