In other words, O'BomberCare IS Socialism in action.But what other kind of health care could you expect from the Marxist Socialist Progressive O'Bomber and his Socialist comrades in Congress? So just stop lying about it Socialists. Be proud that you've lied your Socialist health care debacle into law....and, buckle up for the deluge in 2014 and 2016 by which time up to 100,000,000 more Americans will have lost the insurance policies they liked and the doctors they liked. The pheasants are getting ready to rain on your parade. White House Memo Don’t Dare Call the Health Law ‘Redistribution’ JOHN HARWOOD November 23, 2013 WASHINGTON — Rebecca M. Blank was a top candidate in 2011 to lead President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, but then the White House turned up something politically dangerous. “A commitment to economic justice necessarily implies a commitment to the redistribution of economic resources, so that the poor and the dispossessed are more fully included in the economic system,” Ms. Blank, a noted poverty researcher, wrote in 1992. With advisers wary of airing those views in a nomination fight, Mr. Obama passed over Ms. Blank, then a top Commerce Department official and now the chancellor of the University of Wisconsin. Instead he chose Alan Krueger, a Princeton economist. “Redistribution is a loaded word that conjures up all sorts of unfairness in people’s minds,” said William M. Daley, who was Mr. Obama’s chief of staff at the time. Republicans wield it “as a hammer” against Democrats, he said, adding, “It’s a word that, in the political world, you just don’t use.” These days the word is particularly toxic at the White House, where it has been hidden away to make the Affordable Care Act more palatable to the public and less a target for Republicans, who have long accused Democrats of seeking “socialized medicine.” But the redistribution of wealth has always been a central feature of the law and lies at the heart of the insurance market disruptions driving political attacks this fall. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/24/us/dont-dare-call-the-health-law-redistribution.html?_r=0 IP: Logged |

Jwhop, you've long had trouble with the definition of Socialism (whose criteria this doesn't meet on many levels). Second, this was a Conservative idea as we all well know by now.IP: Logged |

"Jwhop, you've long had trouble with the definition of Socialism (whose criteria this doesn't meet on many levels).

O'BomberCare was hatched...not by Republicans but by far left loons who couldn't find their own as$es with both hands and passed by moron leftists who never read the bill. WE HAVE TO PASS O'BOMBERCARE TO FIND OUT WHAT'S IN IT. Nancy Pee-Lousy O'BomberCare is ALL about redistribution of wealth...admitted to by demoscats....Socialism. IP: Logged |

Well, despite your denial, this plan is basically National Romneycare, hatched by the Heritage grouo, who are funded by the Waltons and Kochs, not well-known for their Socialist tendencies last I looked. Romney hailed the mandate as the "elimination of free-riders" who dragged everyone else down. The people of Massachussetts don't consider it "socialized medicine", BEcause It's Not. IP: Logged |

" The people of Massachussetts don't consider it "socialized medicine"..Catalina/katatonicWho cares what the loony-tunes in the state of Taxxachussetts think about anything? Not me. The basic tenet of Socialism is to take wealth from those who have some and redistribute that wealth to those who have less. This is exactly what O'BomberCare does on a grand scale. Young and healthy Americans are being charged an arm and leg...overcharged to pay for older less healthy Americans who are likely to cost insurance companies more money as insured. So far, the young and healthy aren't buying the O'BomberCare scam. Which proves the youngers are a hell of a lot smarter than the Marxist Messiah and his Socialist goons who are trying to rip them off. IP: Logged |

There is no "leftist" definition of Socialism. Even if there were, you would want to go with that one as you accuse them of being Socialists anyway. If the people are [supposedly] something, they should know what the definition of that something is. "Obamacare" was conceived by Republicans. quote: Who cares what the loony-tunes in the state of Taxxachussetts think about anything?Not me.
Who cares what the looney-tunes of the state of Florida thing about anything? Not us. quote: The basic tenet of Socialism is to take wealth from those who have some and redistribute that wealth to those who have less.
Oddly, that "basic tenet" hasn't found its way into ANY definition of Socialism. You could achieve one definition of Socialism if your premise were to be all-inclusive; if all the money were taken and redistributed "according to need." That's not the primary tenet, though. quote: Young and healthy Americans are being charged an arm and leg...overcharged to pay for older less healthy Americans who are likely to cost insurance companies more money as insured.
$60/month is an arm and a leg? That's the number I came up with for a 27 year old Californian making $30k who wants to no deductible, taking into account the subsidy that may be available to such person per Covered California. IP: Logged |

Excuse me moronic Socialists who don't even know the premises of Socialist doctrine. And, you think you're educated? Don't make me laugh. "FROM EACH ACCORDING TO HIS ABILITY.

^^_^^= zero responsibility. Throughout your time here it has become ~as per~ usual, to never recognize your own style. - Everyone else is the hater [not you]
- Everyone else are blind sheeple [not you]
- Everyone else are bullies [not you]
One of these days you will see the mirror. One of these days that mirror will reflect, and you will truly see your on-line persona. I find it unfortunate that the far right strangle hold on GU has reduced interaction to but a few Knowflakes. The dearth of posting, is a direct result of people feeling they will not be heard, [and that] they will not be respected as humans either. Tis a shame. I find it a shame also, that those posting with the voice of the far right want what is least practical for the U.S. IP: Logged |

Hardly. You guys think Obama is a socialist, that shows how far right you are. Have you now written off the Pope as a Commie too? He has a lot less time for the breadheads than Obama does It must be really hard for Ted Cruz and Paul Ryan to swallow the condemnation of trickle-down that just came out of the Vatican. IP: Logged |

O'Bomber IS a Socialist of the Marxist variety.However, for purposes of discussion, what do you consider to be far right policy and discussion points? Do you consider adherence to the US Constitution to be far right? Go you consider advocating for balanced budgets, low taxation and lower government spending to be far right policy? Do you consider getting and keeping government out of individuals decision making to be far right policy? Do you consider ripping government/presidents for spending taxpayer money to enrich political supporters...for example, Solyndra and other so called green energy companies, labor unions and organizations like Planned Parenthood and ACORN to be far right policy? Do you consider ripping O'Bomber for Fast and Furious...a scheme to violate US and International law by running guns across the Mexican border to drug cartels to be far right policy. There's lots more but let's start you with these and see how you do. IP: Logged |

No one here is far right. We definitely have some from the far left, though. I am just right of center. Speaking of wealth redistribution, there's a great income tax discussion on the Carson thread, Jwhop. IP: Logged |

Jwhop if your people meant what they say I would agree with them but they are a cover for big business to sew up the market, they want to invade people's privacy but in a different way than the "left" and their trickle down ideology has just made them greedier.I don't actually like big gov much. But the right has grown government while letting the wolves watch the henhouse. Most of the.things you complain about, your wonderful right has done, just more sneakily. The insurance biz has been given a yard (more customers) and decidrd to take the Whole nine by capitaluzing on people's confusion over the law to raise premiums unnecessarily, instead of making it easy for people to join they have made a mess. As far as I'm concerned redistribution by sucking up people's pensions etc is still redistribution and you guys hsve bought a false premise hook line & stinker IP: Logged |

This isn't socialism. We should be so lucky! This is corporate malfeasance. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/11/12/at-least-one-group-americans-loves-obamacare/ "For those on the left who thought that ObamaCare would mean large health insurance companies might get their comeuppance, they might want to look at UnitedHealth. Wall Street analysts expect the giant to see its stock price rise 40 percent over the next two years, thanks to expanding profit margins. The company has also won big contracts to help implement the rollout. Quality Software Services, Inc., a major contractor for Healthcare.gov, is a subsidiary of UnitedHealth. One of President Obama’s most reliable fundraisers in both 2008 and 2012 was Anthony Welters, executive vice president of UnitedHealth. He raised more than $500,000 for the 2012 election, according to opensecrets.org Another big ObamaCare winner is tech giant Qualcomm. In 2011, the company created a subsidiary called Qualcomm Life specifically designed to profit off ObamaCare changes. The company offers products to securely transfer data between wireless health care devices. Thanks to ObamaCare, company executives believe that “wireless solutions are going to be looked at more prominently.” Former Qualcomm Chairman Irwin Jacobs raised more than $500,000 for Obama’s re-election in 2012."
