Good Komrades of Minnesota...

Before reading this post, in order to get full flavor of message, please to cue the music!

Now, on to the business of the State, good Komrades!

A good source from opposition tells me that Minnesota House passed version of womb-to-tomb centralized, state-run health care!

Last night the House passed their version of the health care reform bill. While less bad than the Senate’s version (which carries with it a $40 million tax increase to pay for all kinds of programs designed to save us from ourselves), the House bill doesn’t bring us any closer to the kinds of free market reforms our health care system needs. Aside from the tax increase, the other reason why the House bill could be considered an improvement over the Senate’s version is the Senate’s creation of a politburo-style Health Care Transformation Commission. In the Senate’s bill, the HCTC would be responsible for passing judgment on and implementing new rules and regulations for hospitals and health care plans. At least the House decided not to abrogate their oversight
responsibility and require that all new rules must get legislative approval. But what the hey, right? Why not give a small, unelected body control over 1/6 of our state’s economy? What could possibly go wrong with that?

So it’s off to the conference committee for the two bills. And what comes out nobody knows.

All is coming together according to plan, dear Komrades...Note that we needed to start small, as in MinnCare; for we must boil frog slowly, dear komrades, lest it notice that it is being boiled. Then we get public used to more and more government run health care, and package it as "free!"

And now, onto total government-run health care, and we, dear komrades, are on our way to our socialist, womb-to-tomb utopia!

GOD bless Karl Marx!
