And By Protecting Choice We Mean, Getting Rid Of Choice

And by getting rid of choice we mean giving the American people a permanent bureaucracy that will be responsible for shortening their lives to help pay for social security.

Investors Business Daily is doing the heavy lifting - they are reading the Health Care For All Americans bill.

Most conservatives suspected this legislation is a big step to eliminating private insurance - even over President Obama's vociferous claims otherwise.

Given that pretext, you would think these pricks would at least try and hide their real objectives. Well, you would be wrong.

It turns out we were right: The provision would indeed outlaw individual private coverage. Under the Orwellian header of "Protecting The Choice To Keep Current Coverage," the "Limitation On New Enrollment" section of the bill clearly states:

"Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day" of the year the legislation becomes law.

...

It took just 16 pages of reading to find this naked attempt by the political powers to increase their reach. It's scary to think how many more breaches of liberty we'll come across in the final 1,002.
