“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”The Big Lie started with the idea Universal Healthcare of this sort would work fluidly to provide coverage for people NOT WANTING coverage. It’s not a chance for the underprivileged to gain insurance coverage as it’s the state providing assurances healthcare will be available to anybody needing it. We already had that. It’s called Medicaid. For the elderly it’s called Medicare. It’s been asked repeatedly; where are the medically untreated masses turned away from healthcare facilities under emergency conditions? Answer: there have been none and there still are none. Hospitals MUST treat under emergency conditions. Then the patient can be transferred to a non-emergency facility for continued care. In Louisiana we call that system the CHARITY HOSPITAL SYSTEM. But, in an effort to force private industry (something socialists and Marxists accept nothing from because of their “inherent evils”) to shoulder the load for treatment when 15% of the nation doesn’t even want to be covered. Then, the program is to be administered through insecure and unsecured (security- wise) computer programs. The key thing to be remembered is the machines can only operate properly if they’re administered over by competent, qualified individuals. And Obama and his administration, so far, have not displayed either competence or qualification to control this program. You can’t be competent at administering capitalist programs you’ve never been a part of in the past. And that’s where we have a problem with unemotional machines, looking like humans, robotically repeating ideologies proven impracticable in operation. Just because ObamaBots keep repeating the BIG LIE doesn’t make it true. Think about it. Thanks for listening
