With the advent of more social policies such as health-care added to the current social programs, Will it end capitalism forever?
The US government already knows how much money we make, where we spend it and every single bank and investment account that we have. Makes me wonder why we have to file returns.
Now with the national health information going electronic and national they will have access to every aspect of your health life as well. Even your DNA or every health concern you ever have confided in to your own physician will be on file for anyone to access.
Do you suppose that the nationalization of private companies like GM will create further companies to be overtaken in a similar fashion? How far can we let our government go when it comes to such things? How could we stop the progress(?) of such actions if we were to deem them an infringement into our private lives?
During the recent health care push our very own democratically elected representatives acted like mobsters out of a movie. They threatened, bribed and did every thing it took to get this socializing of our medical system under their control. They did it in the name of helping the uninsured, is that the real reason? If so then why ignore the calls for malpractice reform? Why do the lawyers get to make 35% of what they bilk from lawsuits directed at OUR insurance money?
As long as you hold a worthy cause before you like the needy without health insurance, does that mean that no one can challenge what you do or how you do it? Is it fair for our very own elected government representatives to ignore the very people that elected them?
So David where exactly did you get the lawsuit percentage? And if as you think my question has no merit did you respond so arrogantly? Why bother at all?
Innocent
Bankruptcy.
Look at the PORK 1.6 billion a year in the Health Care Bill.
41% of the Cost of the Health Care Program is administrative and those new Jobs are going to be out sourced to a company from India.
Fed Up
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Lawsuits represent about 2% of all medical spending. The rest of this question is such a paraniod load of BULL CRAP that it is not worth responding to.

This is a good and thoughtful question. Sadly, it seems the long, slow and inexorable progression of our society and government (which simply reflects "us") is toward a de-emphasis on personal responsibility and self reliance and an increasing desire to have the government take care of us and tell us what to do and not do. Entitlement programs that pay people for doing nothing encourage people to do more of that - nothing. The less productive work we do, the poorer we become as a nation.
The Left has control of the Federal government at the moment. With any luck, we will change that this Fall by depriving them of the House and maybe even the Senate. That should stem the tide until we can (hopefully) retire Mr. Obama as a "one termer".
No, it isn't fair that our elected representatives ignore the will of the electorate - we must hold them accountable at the ballot box.
