Democrats have done a great job of making someone who is not even on the ballot, President Donald Trump, a major issue in the midterm elections. But they’ve done an even better job of hiding their plans to vastly expand our already bloated federal spending on healthcare and, with it, government control over your life, if they win.
Haven’t heard about this?
We only know of it because of a memo boringly titled: “Cost-of-Living Healthcare Working Group Memo on Democratic Healthcare Action for the First 100 Hours, First 100 Days, and First Year of the 120th Congress.”
Asleep yet? There are literally modernist poems shorter than that title. But it’s what it represents that is a danger. And it’s far from just about “healthcare.”
“The document is revealing,” Christopher Jacobs, author of “The Case Against Single Payer,” writes in The Federalist. “In the span of an 84-page paper, Democrats use the word ‘establish’ (as in ‘create new programs’) 64 times, some variation of ‘expand’ (as in ‘enlarge existing programs’) more than 100 separate times, and some variation of ‘require’ (as in ‘impose new federal mandates’) over and over. These word choices speak volumes as to the party’s philosophy of (big) government.”
In short, more spending, more bureaucracy, less choice, higher costs, and lower quality healthcare. This is what Obamacare has already delivered, despite solemn promises that health insurance premiums would decline $2,500, and quality care would be available to all.
In fact, 28 million people still lack insurance. And premium costs have exploded.
