.Have your done your laundry yet?
What if you were to go down the cellar, open the hatch to your Maytag top-loader, and fill 'er up? It would work fine - it was designed for just that.
Now let's say after you start the machine, you decide to give it a test: you re-open the lid, and slowly, you add a pair of socks to the wash cycle; then a pair of underwear; then a T-shirt; now a towel.
Suddenly, the agitator begins to churn more slowly.
But you go on: you add another pair of socks; another T-shirt; and then, after a wash cloth, the poor machine is now heaving noticeably - making ominous groaning noises.
But you decide to go for broke: in goes another T-shirt; another wash cloth, and then, after adding a pair of jeans - zzzzzzssst! - the washer suddenly stops, with bluish smoke emerging from underneath - the HD electric motor has died.
Then on the door hatch, you notice the warning at the bottom: "DO NOT OVERLOAD!"
But is this not the perfect analogy for our fine-running, WORLD-LEADING already-existing US healthcare system? - and what's about to happen to it?
What if you woke up with a severe earache? Would you not be able to get in to see your doctor, probably within a few hours? - if not sooner?
And even if one had no regular family doctor, could you not just as easily peruse the "otolaryngologists" section of the yellow pages, and make an appointment for that SAME DAY?
And even if it were a Sunday/holiday, could you not expect treatment at some local emergency room, before you went insane with the pain? Ear aches are nothing to fool with!
But on March 21, 2010, 219 democrats callously decided to fool with 300 million Americans' lives - taking away their freedom to choose not only one's doctor, but what kind of treatment one shall receive, and WHEN one can obtain it - the essence of government-run healthcare.
Indeed, starting in 2014, God have mercy on ANYONE who wakes up with a severe pain, and expects treatment that day.
By then, hundreds of thousands of US doctors will have retired - unwilling to cede their judgment, their liberty, and well-deserved incomes. Emergency rooms will experience such crowding that average waiting times may exceed 18-24 hours - even longer!
And who cares? After all, it's the government in charge, with no incentive to do anything right, or within its proper time span.
Indeed, if you thought calling the Social Security office and/or Bureau of Motor Vehicles was fun, you'll have a blast once the federal government runs the colossus of 17% of the economy- the US medical establishment.
Think about it: an uncaring, unfeeling, slovenly bureaucrat, in charge of every US hospital... overseeing every doctor, and lording over every health insurer!
How's that for starters? Now add 47 million "disadvantaged' coming out the wood work, getting in line (in front of YOU) for FREE healthcare.
Currently, the uninsured simply refrain from doctors save for a major emergency. But with Obamacare, you'll have all of these people going on a regular basis. It’s like giving everyone free bus passes, but there are only a few buses, in need of repair.
Inner city patients - where aids, VD, diabetes and drug addiction are rampant - will totally overwelm the current system; within months it will mean declining services for everyone. It will totally shock those who thought they had still had alternatives: you will NOT!
Remember, now that Obamacare is the law of the land, there are NO exits. One must accept what the feds offer you. They are in total control of YOUR life. No one is permitted to go “outside” the system and pay for services not covered by the government!
Costa Rica anyone?
Now let's revisit our washing machine analogy:
The very word "rationing" is a political poison pill. No politician will EVER mention it. But they need not. It's in the law.
With tens of millions of illegals and "disadvataged" - now flashing their new healthcare cards - along with the inevitable DECREASE in the supply of US physicians (and nurses), what then?
The health care system (washing machine) begins groaning. And after a few years of overloading- it STOPS! Ergo, rationing will automatically come to the fore, leaving you, or your elderly parents, or your handicapped child OUT!
Rationing healthcare - which is intentionally withholding at least some useful treatment from at least some people who would benefit - is absolutely unavoidable in ANY publicly funded healthcare program.
Sure. Everyone will be covered under Obamacare. But what good is "being covered" if one can't receive proper treatment, or within a reasonable time-span?
You will suffer. You will die.
That's right fellow Americans - if you wake up and discover some strange lump, or blood in your urine, or have an overwhelming cluster headache (ominous signs of a brain tumor), what then?
You may NOT be able to see the urologist or oncologist on time. There no longer may even be one in your area. You will be denied diagnostic procedures (CAT- scan, X-ray, MRI, radio-assay) because some faraway Washington bureaucrat deemed it "too costly."
The one unavoidable outcome of rationing is that it soon begins to feed on itself:
In a physician survey (conducted December 2009 by The Medicus Firm) 24.7% of physicians stated that they would "retire early" if Obamacare is implemented. An additional 21.0% of respondents stated that they would quit practicing medicine, even though they are nowhere near retirement.
With more physicians retiring because of lower incomes, who will want to become doctors? While at the same time, a burgeoning US population - bolstered by proliferating minority births- will place huge new demands on the system for health services.
What then?
Does anyone recall when demand outstrips supply? Either costs go up or services decline - or both! With any government-run system, one gets the WORST of both worlds.
Imagine: tens of millions of new patients, and 1/3 of the doctors leave? Does that not portend pandemonium in everyone's healthcare future?
And even if every doctor stayed, consider the long lines: all the new "customers" entering the system, with no concomitant increase in care providers nor hospitals.
Once again, we're talking about 47 million "disadvantaged" - paid for by people who work- yet everyone will receive the same level of disservice.
The tragedy of all this is that millions of Americans - who've paid into Medicare (all of their lives) - have officially been swindled by the democrats. They'll now have their benefits reduced; and those who've never paid a dime into the system will have "healthcare for all."
Now examine the code phrase "benefits reduced." Is that not another meaning for rationing? Does it not imply pulling the plug on grandma? Or denying treatment to grandpa altogether for his prostate cancer, because some chart indicates he's beyond his "useful years?"
Can't we see the utter totalitarianism that is about to descend upon us?
What will happen to America in another decade under socialized medicine? What will become of our families? Is this not why 70% of us are experiencing disquiet in our outlook, now that Obamacare has been forced upon us?
And with 2700 pages of legal jargon, can anyone predict the future disruption, or answer the plethora of questions that will certainly emerge within the next few years?
What about dentists? What about veternarians? What about your chiropractor, the only one who knows how to keep the pain of your bad back in check?
What shall become of them?
And what about osteopaths? Or those who practice naturopathic (herbal-vitamin) medicine? How many will fall by the wayside because of the totaltarian collar placed over them under Obamacare?
And what about physical therapists? Or home health care aids? Or nursing home employees? Or hospice workers?
With the stark inevitability of rationing, how many hundreds of thousands of "unnecessary" medical jobs will be eliminated, as the government is forced to save money - brought on by the exponential increase in demand for services, with only incremental means of increasing revenue (taxation) into the system.
Obamacare's numbers make no sense. What were these democrats thinking? Who amongst us can believe that that the government can cover 47 million more people with better quality care at lower cost?
Democrats have yet to explain how - even with the current number of physicians and nurses - they can cover so many more people while lowering costs at the same time.
And by 2015, when all the pandemonium and misery ensue, what will have become of these same democrats who have legislated this horror upon us? - yet they've conviently exempted themselves, their families, and their overloaded staffs.
Indeed, there are a lot of things they refuse to explain, with NONE of them having read the bill - uncaring of its totalitarian consequences.
Is this not the ultimate hypocrisy?
But why would anyone be willing to unravel the world's non-pareil medical establishment, and impose an imcompetent, blood-sucking, deficit-building, non-functioning anti-healthcare system upon the great unwashed masses?
That's right America. That's exactly how these radical leftist ideologues see every one of us. They are socialists. They view us with contempt. They believe that by imposing government -run healthcare, we are getting what we deserve: totalitarian control over every aspect of our lives.
But how they got this way is anyone's guess. But nonetheless, they have put in place a system that will slowly eat away at the American dream - rendering us all miserable serfs, at the mercy of some easy-living government vassal.
Recall the old saying...(quote) "When you have your health, you have everything."
But in a few short years - with the government in charge - if one gets sick, can we trust that we will ever regain our health? Will some uncaring bureaucrat condemn us to a life of misery- denying care for a badly arthritic hip? - or a severely-disfunctional knee?
Or if a mother should raise an autistic-plagued child, or bear a Down's syndrome baby, what shall become of them when their lives are regarded as useless: i.e. that they could never grow up and become a productive (i.e. tax-paying) worker - another cog in the socialist gears of society.
But this is what Socialism and government-run healthcare are about - redistributing the wealth: reducing America into a mere shadow of Her once-mighty self.
The democrats have outdone themselves. They've accomplished the near-impossible: they have enslaved a free nation by convincing them that indeed - they CAN get something for nothing: the "right" to government-run healthcare.
But as an old conservative once said: "If you think healthcare is expensive, just wait until it's free..."
-You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by taxing the wealthy.
-The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from someone else.
-You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
(QUOTE)..."We cannot expect the Americans to jump from Capitalism to Communism,
but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of Socialism - until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism."

Thaks a lot Mr. Obama: here's to your health.
