Universal Health Care Truths
Gee, what a shock. Government in Hawaii JUST discovered that socialized, universal, government health care is a total and complete failure. The fools in government that set this up were somehow shocked that a number of people, when they found out government was offering coverage for FREE, suddenly stopped buying health care and enrolled in the free system.
It’s amazing that there are still such incredibly foolish people in government positions. I’ll say it again for those (like Obama and all his supporters) that don’t understand: when you offer something at no cost to the recipient, MORE PEOPLE WILL WANT IT. It really doesn’t matter what it is. If you open up a stall on the street and offer ANYTHING for free, people will show up and get as many as you will give them. It doesn’t matter if it’s gasoline, health care, jobs, or toothpicks. If it’s at zero cost, people WILL want more of it.
This is the primary reason that “universal” healthcare not only has failed every time it’s been tried, but it absolutely WILL continue to fail. In health care, there needs to be a cost to the user. If there isn’t, you get the nightmare that is healthcare in Canada — waiting times of years for minor problems because the demand is high. If you charge money for it, less people will use it, period.
This works with everything. Recently, there were gas shortages in the southeast and many gas stations in the Charlotte area ran out of gas. Want to know why? Nope, it had NOTHING to do with the hurricane. It was because of government. Governor Easley threatened to arrest and jail any gas station that raised their prices. Therefore, the price of gasoline was kept artificially low. People did what the always do when something is offered at a lower price than the market can bear — they bought as much as they could as often as they could. That caused the companies to run out of gasoline.
The free market will work — and it has worked every time it’s tried. At the same time, government regulated markets always fail — look at the banks and mortgage markets — those were all completely artificial markets, created by government and look how they turned out.
Oh, how I yearn for freedom!

Democrat Fairness
So, what does a Democrat mean when they say they want things to be “fair?” Of course, that means they want to win, no matter how it happens. Take, for example, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner. She claims that if you attempt to identify a voter, that’s “disenfranchising voters.” And this is after her office has identified at least 200,000 voter records who are inaccurate.
Yes, you’re reading that correctly. Her very office reported that at least 200,000 voter registration records appear to be inaccurate — but any attempts, including judicial orders, that actually attempt to FIX those records, or identify which are fraud and which are valid voters, is “disenfranchising voters.” Welcome to 1984 — land of political lies.
