Twelve years ago America said no to a Clinton plan to create a massive bureaucracy and lower the standard of medical care by giving every American health care. The plan was slapped down by a prudent and economically sound Republican congress. But now the ugly monster of universal health care has reared it's ugly head again.

Oregon Birkenstock wearing Senator Ron Wyden is offering a plan to provide health care for everyone, whether they are stockbrokers or employed hobos living under the docks. The only people who would not be covered by his “private coverage” plan are people who get Medicare or are in the military.

Okay. Now back to reality. Wyden is a member of the Senate Finance health care subcommittee, so he thinks he has the power to introduce bills that will ruin America. He has called the plan the “Healthy Americans Act” and believes it will not cost more money than what the country currently spends.

The plan has drawn support from different sides of the business community. The Service Employees International Union and Safeway, Inc. both believe the health care plan is a smart move. When everyone agrees on something it is communism. We are in deep shit here.

Currently 46 million Americans are happily uninsured. They go about their lives, some working full time jobs, joyfully understanding they are not living under the oppression of socialism.

Wyden’s plan allows workers to transfer their health insurance from job to job. Employers would terminate their existing plans and pay the amount saved directly to workers. Workers would then have to buy health insurance from a pool of private plans. After two years, employers would no longer pay their employees the insurance money and would instead pay it directly into the insurance pool. Then America would collapse.
