This is precisely how I wanted to begin my day, trying to figure out what the flow chart for the Democrats' Health Care Reform shows. A whole lot of new bureaucracies! Recall what Congressman Mike Pence said the other night on FoxNews: the reform creates"...33 entitlement programs, creates or expands or extends, 53 additional offices, bureaus, commissions, programs..." (at this point they had only read 317 pages of the more than 1000 page bill). In order to sort out the following chart you need a PHD. I keep hoping that voters would wake up to what it is that the Democrats are trying to create, and it ain't competition in health insurance.
When asked by reporters what it is that HealthCare reform is about, President Obama stresses what it is not, a path to a single payer system such as in Canada or Great Britain. How nice that Congressman Barney Frank has come clean in his goal:
|
…because we don’t have the votes for it. I wish we did. I think if we get a good public option it could lead to single payer, and that’s the best way to reach single payer. Saying you’ll do nothing until you get single payer is a sure way never to get it.

Honesty is the best policy unless you are a politician. The Healthcare Reform is a means to an end, Single Payer HealthCare, it is disingenuous to say otherwise. I pray that while Congress goes out on its annual summer recess they get an earful from their constituents, as that is the only way now to defeat this monstrosity. Otherwise, our economy as well as our Healthcare system are doomed to further erosion.
