Reagan's Warning on Obama Care: He Predicted This

Our great president Ronald Reagan passed away in 2004, but he said something that still resonates today.


Reagan said: " One of the traditional methods of imposing  statism or socialism on people has been by way of medicine.It's very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can't afford it."

Boy does that resonate!

It sure sounds like Reagan had the foresight to see the dangers of Obamacare.

Even more amazing is that Ronald Reagan spoke those words in 1961, before he ever ran for office.

But Reagan's comments are not surprising if you understand liberalism.

Creating a national healthcare system has been a major priority for the left wing for over 50 years! Time and again the Congress and the American people have rejected socialized medicine.
Now Obama is pushing  for a radical takeover of one-sixth  of the U.S. economy.

But Obama is perhaps the most clever liberal ever. He knows the American people will never go for a national system like they have in Britain or Canada. So his plan calls for several steps for Obamacare  to become reality.
 
First, he lies and tells people "you keep your doctor, you keep your insurer." At the same time he creates a "public option"-- allowing  any business to move its employees into the public system.He knows what you know-- this will create a mass exodus from private insurers to the cheaper, taxpayer subsidized public system.

Meanwhile, he plans to add 50 million new patients--INCLUDING ILLEGAL ALIENS-- to the system.

Reagan understood that schemes like Obama's are not about providing quality health care. It is about statism. It is about government control and dependence. It is a threat to your freedom.

As i write this, millions of Americans are going on vacation. But Obama and his allies are preparing for a major assault on Congress next week. He has called for a dramatic full session of Congress. He is not calling this session to offer compromise. He plans on using his national address to Congress as a giant pep rally to ram his radical program through Congress.

He wants the hoopla of a Congressional speech to overshadow his plummeting poll numbers,the mass protests we saw this summer at town halls across the nation and growing anger toward his plan by Seniors.

We can't compromise with Obama and the radical Democrats.

As Reagan said:" If not us, who? If  not now, when?"
