At one time I supported the Libertarian movement, working on a few campaigns and newsletters, but I have found it to be too fractured with many self-styled Libertarians wanting to introduce Big Nanny or anarchy into the mix that I have since rejected it.

The nudge that will be a shove is socialized medicine – complete with implanted info and tracking device so Obamas czar in Washington can “advise” your doctor how (or if) to treat you. Think forced abortions (like China) and euthenasia for the old folks. Something for everyone.

The scariest thing to me as a Canadian living with our version of a failed socialized “health care” system is WHERE are we going to go for our health care after Obama destroys yours?

Our failed system, (MM’s Sicko notwithstanding), costs upwards of 50% of the governments budget and still the waiting lines for rationed “care” are growing. People die waiting in emergency rooms. If you can find a doctor who is taking more patients, which is the only way you can see a specialist, you must wait months. MRI’s and CAT scans are not readily available for lack of equipment. Apart from the government spending on this travesty, you also recieve a monthly bill to pay your “share” whether you use their system or not. It is far from free. However, you can pay out of pocket for certain treatments such as iv chelation from a private practitioner (who are vilified by the College of Physicians and Surgeons). We are not allowed to have private insurance to cover the costs. If you or a loved one are hospitalized, you must make sure they get food and clean their room yourself. Recently, alarmed over the rampant number of infections people were subjected to in hospitals – and after months of expensive “study”, the recomendation finally emerged. Hospital staff were instructed to wash their hands! Not sure how many millions this revelation cost.
Drugs and surgery are the automatic treatments of choice – this is where the money is. When our past Liberal government with connections to Connought Laboratorys imported tainted blood from Arkinsaw prisons, (while Clinton was govenor), causing the sickness of hundreds, the government promised compensation. They dragged it on until the majority of these people died.

I’m sorry you’re stuck with Obama and a Dem congress. I’m hoping for impeachment in the near future.
