Stop for a moment and think about the impact to our already fragile health care system of the double tsunami of amnesty for millions of illegal aliens and nationalized health care advocated by the Democrat Party.
Today the millions of illegal aliens are "living in the shadows" and fear seeking medical attention because they fear deportation. The moment these illegal aliens are given legal resident status in the US, all the pent-up demand for health care will be released and there will be a flood of people seeking out medical care in our already overwhelmed Emergency Rooms. Even today, sane US citizens who pay taxes and follow all the rules avoid Emergency Rooms like the plague because they are overcrowded, dirty, and we know that it will take hours to receive any kind of reasonable care. Luckily the free market is responding to this need and providing private emergency clinics.
However, soon after the Democrat Party takes control over the White House and increases majorities in the 2008 elections, we will see the implementation of a national health care/single payer system and those of us who want to pay for medical care will be unable to do so (it will be criminalized) and we will end up sitting in line behind hundreds of other people just to get a modicum of care. Our smart doctors will leave for some other country where they can ply their trade without these restrictions.
