From the Horse's Mouth-Socialized Medicine is the Goal

I've argued here, here and here that the Communist Party USA, Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism and the Democratic Socialists of America are the driving force behind the Obama push for healthcare "reform".

I've also argued that the no matter what bill Obama gets passed (if any), it will only be used by the US far left as a stepping stone to fully socialized healthcare.

Phil E. Benjamin is a Senior Editor and a member of the Editorial Collective of Political Affairs, theoretical journal of the Communist Party USA.

Read what he just wrote on the Political Affairs editor's blog and tell me I'm wrong.

It is time to dump the Policy Wonks and Democratic Party wise guys.

Everyone said and now everyone knows that the SIMPLER THE BETTER. The more complicated, the more to make people worried about the details. And, that worry becomes grist for the Republican media machines.

So the first step for health reform is to Dump the Congressional Bills......both of them feed into the Republican machine for 2010 elections. Mass. showed that.

We must propose what we know people want and already like.

1. Maintain and expand the Veterans Medical and Hospitals Systems;

2 Expand the Federally Qualified Community Health Centers;

3. Drop the Medicare age to 55 to 64 ---- Republicans will not mess with that;

4. Elevate Medicaid to 150% of the Federal Poverty Level;

5. Open the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program for non federal employees to join;

6 Eliminate Pre-Existing Conditions Exclusions

By doing these actions; you are dealing with winners and known programs. Each of these programs is supported by those in them.

By dumping the Health Exchanges you eliminate the number one grist for the Republican mills, i.e., forcing people to buy insurance. And, to win working people back, voters they are; Dump the taxing of benefits.

These should be done immediately....no waiting time.

Then in a year or two we do another step.

These can and will lead to larger reforms such as a federally administered Single Payer system; and, toward our ultimate goal of a National Health Service in our country.

Well?

curious,

Everything on here is portrayed in such a sinister manner.

What do you expect people who can't afford corporate health care to do?

What do you make of America's already bloated healthcare budget pre-reform (with inadequate care i might add)?

Why do you differentiate between government and corporate abuse of power if you're such a freedom loving person?

Anonymous - I've lived in the U.S. and in NZ and would take U.S. health care any day over New Zealand's.

In the U.S. there are options for people who cannot afford health insurance...try googling "non profit medical clinics" "low income medical clinics" "christian insurance" "qliance"...citizen initiated health care for the uninsured.

Some examples:

The Progressives push for Universal "Health Care" is sinister. It is less about health care than it is about power and control over the populace. No one in the the U.S. is without Health Care, health insurance maybe but not health care.

It is not Governments job to be in the Health Care industry, or the Auto industry, the banking industry or any industry, read your Constitution, there you will find the answers to Governments role in our society, it is LIMITED.

It was reported to the House Committee Investigations of Tax Free Foundations in 1954 that these Foundations are granted tax exemption so that they may use their grant making powers to alter (CHANGE) life in the U. S. so that it can be merged with the Soviet Union. (That is exactly what has been happening in the U.S. for the last century).

The U.S.S.R. Const. provides that: "the citizen of the U.S.S.R. is entitled to FREE MEDICAL SERVICE"

That is the goal (public policy)that the liberal socialist bloc is striving to achieve, and why.

It is not sinister, it's fact. If the "progressives" really cared about health care, they would never pass this pathetic bill. It's only purpose is as a power and control grab. It is not written to actually improve anything.

Republicans need to oppose everything Obama puts to the house and senate. Lets not forget that the whole sinister red under the bed argument is merely something we sell to the general public as a front to our filibustering of any bill Obama proposes. So lets not get caught up on the emotion of it all and keep things in perspective.
