How Government Health Care Will Take Over Your Life

Maybe you have seen that email that has been floating around for years. It involves a guy who is trying to order a pizza and have it delivered. The person taking the order at the other end already has all of his personal information, and after advising him on menu and topping choices that have been cleared by his health program, he is informed that he cannot place the order because he only has 2.75 in his bank account.

Seemed pretty funny the first time I read it about 5 years ago, but then it was a far off future fantasy. Today, it could very well be reality.

Giving government control of health care is the first step in giving them control over every aspect of your life. Wait until you go to the movies and try to order those nacho grande, and are told that nacho cheese is loaded with trans fat and has been banned by the government because trans fat raises cholesterol which causes heart disease wich raised the cost of health care per person. Try the toffu instead.

Health care gives the government the keys to the kingdom, what you eat, how you drive, where you vacation, what sports you play. President Obama wants control of everything.

It should be fun living in a perfectly sterile environment.

"We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science.

There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever."

-George Orwell (1984)
