The “economy stimulus package” (more appropriately defined as a socialist spending package) contains language that will get us started down the path to an inefficient, expensive, and wholly unnecessary nationalized health care system.
“The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479)…One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective.”
This is *not* an economic stimulus package. It’s a socialist’s dream come true, cloaked by an intentional panicked smokescreen of fear, uncertainty and doubt intended to spook us into allowing it to be passed into law without the critical analysis it needs. Critical analysis that must be avoided lest it bring the bill’s true egregious nature to light.
