How ungrateful we are! Liberals go through all the trouble of coming up with ways to save us from ourselves, and we stubbornly refuse to fall in line.
Health care bloggers
Vito Grasso and Elizabeth Swain have been interrupted from rubbing their hands together at the prospect of a Democrat achieving the “moral imperative” of universal health care coverage by their worry that people still won’t be served due to a shortage of primary care physicians. They have alerted Huffington Post readers to an alarming statistic: 24% of Medicare patients (fully insured by the federal government) cannot find a doctor to treat them.
Their solution: “universal access.” (Liberalspeak for: “How we try to force people to become government-employed doctors).
It seems that people are not lining up to fill the government slots on offer. Mr. Grasso and Ms. Swain offer two (they boil down to one) reasons for this puzzling situation. Low reimbursement rates (the government doesn’t spend enough, and physicians are greedy), and better pay in specialties (hit the greedy doctors again).
It is truly vexing when people reject or ignore liberal plans for their betterment.
Despite the moral imperative, people don’t seem that enthusiastic about investing an average of 10 years of preparation and indebting themselves well into 6 figures to serve as government filters for health care. Go figure.
Of course, all of these obstacles could be flattened out if only everyone would sit still in their government schools and be educated in the liberal faith. (See
Dinesh D’Souza's "Athiest Indoctrination Project")
But in another unforseen rebellion, some people are opting out – insisting on religious schools or even…home schooling. This wave of obstinacy is so shocking to liberal sensibilities that Christiane Amanpour felt compelled to alert her notoriously impartial CNN audience to the dangerous nonconformists in their midst in the Christian segment of her transparently anti-religious
“God’s Warriors” series. She closed the three-part series by warning her viewers that religious people “are certain they know how to make the world right. We cannot and should not ignore them.”
Though many of us instinctively duck when liberals start throwing around terms like “moral imperative,” we’d best look up and pay attention to what they come up with to combat our lack of cooperation. As Ms. Amanpour projected onto the religious, liberals “are certain they know how to make the world right. " If only it weren't for those pesky obstacles.
