The Dirty Little Secret

A healthcare plan has passed a key committee in the house and headed to the floor for debate and vote in September. Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that any such bill will be "Paid for". The President says that he will not sign any bill that adds to the deficit.

This apparently tell us the the President and the Speaker know how much it will cost. Also they must know the actual revenue from new taxes enacted to "Pay" for it.

The dirty little secret is that they both have no idea how much it will cost or how much revenue is needed to pay for it.

The argument about health care is not about health care. No one in his right mind would advocate a health care system that has never succeeded in providing excellent health care.

It is about control, it is about making government bigger, more government jobs, more voters on the puplic payroll, more advocates of big government.

Until they address the problems of health care the fight is about control. Who controls you? You or the government. It is your call.
