Earlier tonight the new president of the United States gave his first speech to a joint session of Congress.  It was a predictable blueprint for the expansion of government.  He discussed his plans for energy reform, for so-called “job creation,” his view of defense reform, among other things, but maybe the most alarming topic he discussed was his plans for health care reform.  The President’s speech is certainly seen by Liberals as a speech with a “bipartisan” message, but it is clear that it was definitely a speech of Liberal principle.  One of the most Liberal aspects of this bill was Obama’s statement on Universal Healthcare.  Barack Obama warned Americans during the campaign that he wanted Universal Healthcare, and now our nation will reap the benefits.  Obama is handing the American people a hard pill to swallow, a pill filled with lots and lots of unnecessary aspects, and universal healthcare is certainly an aspect of this.  During the speech the President said thus on health care:

I suffer no illusions that this will be an easy process.  It will be hard.  But I also know that nearly a century after Teddy Roosevelt first called for reform, the cost of our health care has weighed down our economy and the conscience of our nation long enough.  So let there be no doubt: health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year.

Uh oh!  Here it comes…  Obama is going to expand government’s interference into your doctor’s office.  Government will tell you what you can and cannot get at the doctor’s office.  Obama, Dodd, Kennedy, Pelosi, Reid, and Biden, just a few of the people who will be out their telling you what you’re healthcare benefits will be.  President Obama has told us that he wants to boost the economy, but when he talks about universal healthcare all he is discussing is a government monopoly of the healthcare industry; meaning a loss of jobs and a major dent in the economy, not to mention policy commonly described as typical socialism.  Because the government will monopolize the health industry, different aspects of good healthcare will become harder to afford, or at least worse in quality.  So Americans, hold onto your health, because socialized medicine for all is on the way…
