Even Conservatives Betray America On Health Care

Exclusive: Dr. Lee Hieb shows why Obamacare battle too little, too late

So, Warren Buffet woke up and called foul to Obamacare. John Boehner finally found a spine and tried to call a halt to Obamacare. But does it matter? Isn’t it all too little, too late?

For years Warren Buffet, a man touted for his business savvy, has been supporting the Democratic Party, which, for over 50 years, has been spending like drunken sailors –with my apologies, as Ronald Reagan said, to drunken sailors: at least they sober up.

How could Buffet not have known during all those years he was coughing up millions to the Dems, that the statist policies of the Democrats – dictatorially raising minimum wage, overregulation of business practices, wanton taxation of corporate profit and dis-incentivizing accomplishment through progressive private income taxation, not to mention the demonization of corporations themselves – would be bad for business?

I presume that the “Wizard of Omaha,” whose house I pass frequently on my way to and from shopping, is not stupid financially. He presumably gets the idea that you cannot spend more than you make, nor can you pay people to be idle. At least you cannot do that for 50 years without your business failing. Why then does he accept this nonsense if it is practiced by the government? Does he give them a pass because they are spending other people’s money? He fights his own tax bill. Does he not think every working American is tired of a system based on theft of income?

And then there is Mr. Boehner, the honorable speaker of the House, who with his other Republican cronies have sold the American people down the river by veering far off the constitutional authority of Congress, continuing to vote for Medicare and Medicaid and now Obamacare.

News flash: There is no authority written in the Constitution that gives Mr. Boehner or anyone else in Congress the authority to pay for, dispense, withhold or in anyway regulate medical care.

They have voted repeatedly – even my own representative, fairly conservative Congressman Steve King, for programs that confiscate tax dollars by force from some people in order to dispense care as they see fit using the rules of Health and Human Services.

The result is a system of health care that is priced out of reach of the average person. Certainly it is priced out of reach for anyone who wants to pay with cash. The result too, is out of control “regulopathy” – a disease of overregulation that increases costs everywhere in the production chain of medicine, creates shortages and creates waiting lists for care due to shortages of providers and supplies.
