As the dust from the election continues its clearing, we are now beginning to get a feel for how the respective sides are responding in the form of manufactured talking points. The Conservatives are claiming the overall victory, The hard-left Liberals appear mad at the Messiah himself, while a number of establishment Republicans are miffed at the Tea Party's ascendency. The few moderate Democrats who are left are still stumbling around in confused shock, unable to get a secure handle on the newly formed reality--so what happened? In that same vein, when we look at the extreme overreaching of our Government, over the last several years, many often wonder "how" exactly America got to this particular point in our history, which seems to dovetail quite nicely with the 2010 election results. The actual answers are not that hard to figure out, for those who are grounded in history.

Think about it, we have--since the total ascendency of both the President and the Democrats--declared what amounted to anti-constitutional moratoriums against a number of US companies trying to perform the very thing that keeps them in business, we have had attack after attack by Democrat directed Government forces across a wide range of industries from Banking to Insurance to energy companies and numerous others scattered in between--even states, for Heaven's sake, to the point that we now have nearly half of all states suing the Federeal Government.  We have even had a wide range of attacks against industry professionals themselves.

These attacks range from doctors and medical professionals to news and talk show anchormen, bankers and stockbrokers. We have even had attacks on the Media itself. While the "Wizards of Wall Street" may have deserved a generous portion of negative criticism, a large proportion of those financial professionals under attack did absolutely nothing wrong, but separation via the broad brush-stroke is a normally utilized tool to the professional "Community Organizer."

Transformers III: A Glimpse of the Future

The clincher, however, was the actual takeover and nationalization of a number of banks, Freddie Mae and Fannie Mac, the student loan program, and of course automobile manufacturers. When one stops and looks at how these takeovers occurred, the most common answer is "well the Government had to."  Oh, really?  Not necessarily.  One of the major points, once again, of a Government's transformation from free-market Capitalism to Statism is, actually, the takeover by authorities of certain targeted key industries, often under the auspices of the "Greater Good."

Health Insurance Companies were initially targeted for a complete transformation to a single payer system; when that didn't work, Obama and the Democrats opted for the second best available alternative--that being--driving these companies out of business by setting up rules and regulations which would eventually snuff out the various companies' abilities to realize net operating increase over expenses.  This is already happening to many carriers, as certain parts of the healthcare law are being set into motion, and they are even now dropping out of group health coverage.

When we look at where we are today as it regards healthcare, without a large number of changes being implemented, if not actually repealing healthcare altogether, these companies will, in effect, go out of business.  This will leave the Government free to take over the entire system and then control medicine completely via the purse strings. Once this happens, you will see costs increase without any private forces available to reign them in via marketplace competitiveness itself.  As these costs increase, the Government will then begin cutting reimbursements (which has already begun).  As these reimbursements are slashed, a large number of providers will simply be unable to operate at required income levels, and you will then have many simply bailing out of the medical professions, be they doctors, special services or the myriad other such providers that exist today.  In other words, that Urgent Care Center that you have down the street from your home will shut down--never mind your doctor's office.

Physician "Heel" Thyself

In fact, there are already a significant number of doctors who refuse to accept both Medicare and Medicaid simply because the costs of treating these patients is prohibitive and the Government pays when and what the Government decides to pay.  While the Democrats and Obama might tell you that medical professionals are greedy and want too much, they invariably fail to tell you about the costs these doctors and others incur in malpractice insurance, education, and training, and the cost to acquire those personnel proficient enough to keep doctors from being sued down to their underpants. Which brings us to Tort Reform.

One thing that you will not find in the new Healthcare Law is any sort of  "actual"  Tort Reform.  Tort Reform would, in large part, address the problems which physicians have in paying their often crippling insurance premiums.  So what's the problem?  Glad you asked.  One of Obama's and the Democrats' greatest benefactors is the trial lawyers.  It would go against the trial lawyers' impressive income streams to lessen jury awards; therefore, the lawyers' various pacs donate huge sums to the Democrats in order to maintain the status quo.  So while you might hear both Obama and the Democrats giving impressive lip-service to how they care about the little man, their hands, and therefore their intent, remain in the pockets of the big men and so it has been for some time.  Change we can believe in?  Pish-posh.

Fear not, however, for the lawyer's time is at hand, as well.  You see, once healthcare is completely nationalized in just a few years, the Statists will grow impatient at the havoc in Government costs that are caused by lawyers who will be, by that point, taking extreme advantage of a medical system which will be operating within a far lesser level of proficiency than previously because of the aforementioned ravages by Government--which will result in?  You guessed it!  Large jury awards due to sub-par diagnosis and treatment.  The result will then be a rash of claims which will drive so many more providers out of business and increase Government costs to the point that severe action will be required in the form of  mitigating torts.

Sorry! I Just Torted...

So how does one mitigate torts?  Voila' --Tort Reform's time has now come. You see, once the takeover of the medical professions is completed, the Government will have hired a substantial number of medical personnel for themselves, and these personnel will be members of what Union?  Bingo!  The Service International Employees Union (SEIU).  And who is the army which Obama and the Democrats have hired to perform their thuggery all over the star spangled plain?  The SEIU.

The operative point here being SEIU members, at this point, will be required to donate lavishly to their Democratic Benefactors to a degree that the trial lawyers' money will eventually amount to less than a pittance in comparison.

At this particular juncture, many might begin to wonder how in the world did we get to this abominable point in America?  Simple.  The Daisy Chain of events outlined above contains all sorts of less distinctive but no less important variety of "Daisy Chains" fractily associated with it.  But the signatory event which caused all of this mayhem was the election of our President, Barrack Hussein Obama, during a crisis that shook the foundation of this country down to its core. 

Out of America's rubble arose an individual who was not, as we all can now see, what he appeared to be--at least as far as the Mainstream Media is concerned, though many of us saw a host of unvetted problems from the beginning. The President's anti-Constitutional rampage, which was sanctioned by both Houses of Congress, is the simple and telling reason for the election results of 2010.

The people are not stupid.
