Federal Health Plans - Pride goes before a fall...

The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of hubris. Hubris denotes a person's overbearing pride evidenced by a superior manner toward inferiors; it is often associated with a lack of humility, not always with the lack of knowledge and often implies that suffering or punishment will follow them. It is the perfect plot for an ancient Greek tragedy....or could that happen now?

The interesting syllogy above forms deductive reasoning consisting of a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion; for example, Pride goes before the fall, the major premise, Obama boasts Hubris, the minor premise, therefore, Obama will fall, the conclusion.

With hubris, Obama promises his cure-all remedies of the "Public Option Plan" choice for patients who are now currently insured can keep their private plans. Obama now brags up the "Socialized Federal Health National Co-Op Plan" choice as the alternative panacea for all of those forgotten "Pre-existing conditions" patients and "Uninsured" patients.

What Obama does not explain to these sub-par inferior patients is that they are about to be thrown away into the National Insurance Industry's dumping grounds. The quality of this new "Socialized Federal Health National Co-Op Plan" is set much lower with single payer rates for all their services. This means less doctor services, less medicine dispensed, less diagnostic tests done and less medical procedures performed. Well, how else can Obama pay for these new patients and services anyway? You have to keep the patient expenses in check to keep those costs down. Pay MORE taxes? Duh, that is a given too! Anyhow, WHO are you to question anything Mr. Obama so beneficently does for you anyway, Huh?

Now wait until the other current patients "under private plans" find out they will be forced into this new "Socialized Federal Health National Co-Op Plan" too! It is going to happen in the blink of an eye!
