"The Needs of the Many..."

"...Outweigh the needs of the few."- Spock

"Or the one."- James Kirk

This is inherently logical and inarguably true.

Unfortunately, Bara Bama 's health care debacle will inevitably do harm to the majority for the sake of the minority.

Contrary to popular belief, health care is not a right (not yet, anyway), and is not a service provided to the public free of charge. Someone has to pay the bill. Today, about 85% percent of Americans have health insurance,and almost every one of them has a plan that is partially subsidized by their employer. To what extent varies from plan to plan and employer to employer, with larger corporations generally leveraging their employee base for volume discounts. This is considered a benefit of employment, and is unlikely to be interchangeable with higher pay. Private companies in America invest hundreds of billions of dollars every year in insurance premium subsidies for their employees, cost that will be absorbed by American taxpayers when Bama's plan is made law.

Because the president's plan forces those who currently have insurance to sign on to the government option in the event of a change to their existing plan, individuals will lose their subsidized health insurance in favor of the new national health care coverage. A new Health Care Tax WILL happen - there is no other way to pay for it. The president wants to tax families making more than $350,000 a year for starters, but remember that only covers 16 million Americans, not the 100 million or more that will be forced into the public option in the next 5 years. This is Socialism by any definition, but in order to cover the new cost that will no longer be subsidized by private companies, Bama will tax every working American. And again, because the cost is unsubsidized, all of us will pay more on average than we pay today.

Democrats will try to sell us on the idea that a health care tax is the same as a health insurance premium, but it isn't, because we will have no choice in plans to choose a plan that makes sense for each family or individual. You'll get to pay your tax and you will like what you get for it. You will like it, citizen!

Bama has some insane agenda to get this done immediately, with as little oversight and review as possible, for reasons unknown except that he "gets letters everyday."

There is no doubt that, as a liberal par excellence, Bama is an emotional thinker - all liberals are. His emotional reaction to this issue drives his decision-making, so that he is blind to logic or even rational thought.

Clearly, emotion dictates that the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many, and many will suffer for the choice of the one.
