Setting up more straw men to knock down, Primate Butt? I never wrote that anyone who doesn’t buy the libertarian line is Marxist. I was very clear that I consider “Progressives” like YOU and OBAMA to be Marxists. 

This isn’t a new formulation on my part, self described Marxists have admitted that they’ve called themselves “Progressives” for at least 100 years. They used the name because of the very negative connotations that the names Communist, Socialist, and Marxist rightfully have in our country. 

And the only reason Medicare has risen more slowly than private sector healthcare is OBVIOUS to anyone with at least half a brain, so it’s not surprising that you don’t get it. The private sector has been forced by law to subsidize the government system, and the private providers have been handcuffed with price controls on Medicare and Medicaid patients. So, while Medicare pays providers pennies on the dollar, providers are forced to increase prices on the private side to make up the difference. And the more Medicare and Medicaid patients cram into these programs, the more private sector prices will skyrocket to compensate for the losses incurred by the increase in government mandated services that must be provided far below market prices. My God you’re stupid for not understanding this. Putting ALL healthcare under government will not solve this problem, it will aggravate it, but pinheads like you will never grasp such an economical fundamental, because you’re always too busy trying to shove the square peg in the round hole.

So, why don’t YOU pull out Mao’s little red book and get all hot and bothered yourself.

And…that article was “remarkably accurate,” huh? How amusing. I couldn’t find a single prediction the guy made that has actually come true, unless you count rising costs and ignore the fact that Medicare have risen more slowly than costs in the private sector — which is, of course, exactly the opposite of what he predicted.

Go reread the John Galt monologue and get all hot and bothered. Or, better yet, go join a Tea Party before it’s too late; there are still a few of those losers left.  

So, yeah, of course, the Clintons are rejoicing. They live in the real world, not NQ/PUMA fantasyland. And in the real world, this bill’s success is a gigantic victory for the progressive causes for which Hillary has worked her entire life. I expect libertarians like Onofre to cry in their soup over this bill. Anyone who calls themselves a Hillary fan or any kind of progressive or liberal should be rejoicing.
