The Obama Health Care Plan - Socialized Medicine

For 17 months or so, Obama and his followers have been raving how he is going to provide health care for every American. Trouble is that until now, no one has had a clue as to how he plans to do it. Well, here it is as outlined in today's WSJ.:

This is what is troubling:

The Obama-Baucus solution to this slow-motion catastrophe is to add tens of millions more people to the federal balance sheet. Because the public option will enjoy taxpayer sponsorship, it will offer generous packages to consumers that no private company could ever afford or justify. And because federal officials will run not only the new plan but also the "market" in which it "competes" with private programs -- like playing both umpire and one of the teams on the field -- they will crowd out private alternatives and gradually assume a health-care monopoly.

I guess for some folks who voted for Obama and pray to him because he's the messiah this is ok, but the reality of it all is that his plan is simply socialized medicine folks. And who's going to be running this system? Folks that make Barney Fife look like Albert Einstein ... heck I'd prefer Barney Fife over Barney Frank ... but this government run healthcare is frightening folks ....
