Government Health Care for All, and Other Fairy Tales


Government-run health care is a hopium smoker's pipe dream

Do Obama and the Pelosicrats think we're fools? Ordinary Americans know there's no such thing as a free lunch. Here's a quote from the Wicked Witch of the West Coast's spokesmouth:


 The Pelosi camp, for its part, sees no reason to be discouraged.“The Congress will pass and the president will sign this year health insurance reform that will lower costs, retain choice, improve quality and expand coverage,” said Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami. (The Hill)
... And this just in! 
The Tooth Fairy has announced she's now paying $1000 per tooth and Santa's elves are working overtime to meet Jolly Old St. Nick's pledge to double the amount of goodies under out trees this year!

Meanwhile, back in the real world, congressmen are listening to a burgeoning cohort of constituents who don't believe this crap anymore.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A leader of a pivotal group of moderate House Democrats says he can no longer support a new public insurance plan in a health overhaul bill. [...]

But Ross said that after hearing from constituents over the recess he could not support a bill with a public plan. (AP-Breitbart)
The following Democratic lawmakers have indicated opposition to the healthcare plan moving through the House. (The Hill)

John Adler (N.J.)
Jason Altmire (Pa.)
John Barrow (Ga.)
Dan Boren (Okla.)
Rick Boucher (Va.)
Allen Boyd (Fla.)
Bobby Bright (Ala.)
Travis Childers (Miss.)
Jim Costa (Calif.)
Henry Cuellar (Texas)
Parker Griffith (Ala.)
Frank Kratovil (Md.)
Betsy Markey (Colo.)
Eric Massa (N.Y.)
Jim Matheson (Utah)
Charlie Melancon (La.)
Walt Minnick (Idaho)
Tom Perriello (Va.)
Earl Pomeroy (N.D.)
Heath Shuler (N.C.)
Bart Stupak (Mich.)
John Tanner (Tenn.)

When you run as a "Conservative Democrat," your constituents expect you to vote like one.
