Are the Dems going to sacrifice one of their own to force socialized medicine on us?

Here is a link.

Here is another.

This has to do with Rep. Eric Massa, (D-NY) who claims that the House "ethics" committee is investigating him as a way for the democrat leadership to force him to resign because he has said he will vote "no" on destroying health care in the US.

From the article:

"Mine is now the deciding vote on the health care bill," Massa, who on Friday announced his intention to resign, said during a long monologue on radio station WKPQ. "And this administration and this House leadership have said, quote-unquote, they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill. And now they've gotten rid of me, and it will pass. You connect the dots."

I don't know if he really planned to vote "no". I don't know if that is the reason for the investigation. If he was planning on voting to save the US then I wouldn't be surprised at anything the democrat leadership might do to get him out of the way. I do find it entertaining that a democrat came out with this story. If Massa were a Republican the LWM would rake him over the coals for starting a story like this. Of course, if a Republican had a name like "Massa" the LWM would play the race card and the guy would never win.

I think that some form of socialized medicine will be passed and that it will destroy our health care system. I think that destruction is the purpose. This is like stepping off a thousand foot cliff in that once you go over the edge there is no way back and the landing is not going to be pretty.

Don't kid yourself into thinking that a "government option" will not destroy private insurance. Private insurance will be prohibitively expensive except for people with an income up in the Opra Winfrey/Bill Gates level. The rest of us that work for a living will lose whatever private insurance we have now and we will end up buried in red tape from the government.

You think your private health insurance sucks? You can't even imagine how bad it will be under government control.

There is no way that private insurance can compete in the market with government insurance. Why not? Because government does not have to make a profit to stay in business. When the socialized medicine program goes $10 billion in the red the government will just raise taxes, or print more money to cover it. Blue Cross doesn't have that option.
