You Will Do What You’re Told – Or Else Pay...

By:  Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President

An unfortunate reality for social engineering by an all-knowing government is that compliance and participation cannot be a voluntary action.  We must do what we’re told because it’s for our own good that our elected leaders have mandated the destined outcome.

It is against this backdrop that the truth of the contemplated nationalized health care plan takes shape in Washington, D.C.  It is sort of interesting that the normally compliant “news” media would be so blatant in their account of what’s actually on the drawing board.  Is it because the majority party can now count to 60 loyal “yes” votes or are there ways of spinning these points that we haven’t figured out?

We read with interest provisions like:
  • A provision would require companies with 25 or more employees to offer health benefits to employees or pay an annual fee of $750 per worker that would be used to provide coverage to the uninsured. Companies would also be required to pay at least 60% of premiums.
  • The new legislation would provide subsidies to fewer moderate-income people to help pay for insurance. Income eligibility levels would increase to 400% of poverty, or about $88,000 for a family of four, from the 500%, or $110,000, that had been called for in an earlier draft.
It could possibly be that these bullets will be used in the majority party’s class warfare strategy of pitting those who receive the benefits of Uncle Sam’s larges because of the strong-arm of big government authority to take from those who have to pay.  The “haves” vs “the have nots” always makes for good theater and drama for creating victims that only a “just” federal authority can rectify.  

Thank you Uncle Sam – May I Have Another!
