So called health care reform

Okay, I guess it is time for some politics.

I feel all of the points of debate, when it comes to this "reform", are actually a distraction from the most important two things being pushed and supported by both democrats and republicans. These two things are very important to think about and consider how they impact your freedom!

1) A core piece of this (again, supported by both dems and repubs) is using some sort of unified national (government?) digital (computer database) system for all medical records. This allows the state to know all of the details about you as a living organism. To put it another way, even if you are within a private health care insurance policy, your records will still be in this system overlorded by big brother.

2) Obama even repeated this tonight in his speech to the joint houses of Congress. Companies AND INDIVIDUALS will be REQUIRED to have health insurance, as he said, just like people are required to have auto insurance. Excuse me? Is this MY body and life or am I owned by the state? What if I don't want health insurance? Again, Obama even said this as well, I will be fined. Beside this being ABSURD, I am left to wonder, how will the state know whether I am insured or not and how will they impose such a fine upon me?

Put these two together and how is this anything less than a system to turn the United States into a completely managed society where all people are enrolled into a federal/global system and tracked and monitored by big brother? Excuse me. Am I a child, are we all children? Do I not have my own free will? To use the words of pro-choice activists: It is MY CHOICE, is it not? Or does such a concept only apply to abortion rhetoric?

As already noted, these provisions have bipartisan support. Why? Because these are the core global authoritarian goals which both major parties are working toward. A system of total management of our lives. How can it be characterised any other way when what we are talking about is our bodies? Our individual freedoms and right to privacy are soon to be a vague past memory. Something our grandchildren will have a hard time believing we ever had, as they are taught how barbaric things were back before Aldous Huxley's Brave New World was realized.
