Conservative Refocus

By Barry Secrest

So, how do Conservatives define outrage in this day and time, when we are being deluged with one imbecilic insult after another, and on such a painfully consistent basis? Unfortunate as it is, we must, over time, develop callouses in order to keep from becoming ideologically insane, especially for those of us who are required to pay abject attention, whether we really always want to or not.

In that vein and recently, I found that not even my over-developed callouses could protect me from a work in writing that seems to overly represent the reason our nation is faltering under the deranged speciousness of flocking, Left-Wing  imbeciles.

You see, journalist Rick Unger got a great deal of readable mileage from an article he wrote in which he revered the fact that the profit component of healthcare would soon be pretty much eliminated, since profit has no place within the medical system, according to him. He was speaking to the bomb which was supplanted in Obamacare, and which would soon be going off in the form of required ratios of minimal operating expenses and overhead, which speaks to a company's overall profit or the lack thereof.  Currently, and according to a recent industry report, most companies have either met or would have exceeded these new guidelines for 2010. However, this is before the full ravages of Obamacare continue to be adjusted into the marketplace.

So, what happens in 2011 and 2012 or even further down the road?  Well, that's where things begin to get a bit sticky, because already some of the smaller group markets and carriers have been forced out of offering coverage due to this rule. This will, therefore, mean that, overtime, there will inevitably be fewer and fewer players except for the behemoth insurance companies who will be able to weather the storm of a still-faltering financial system. This, inevitably, will more often than not result in a diminishment of services and an eventual exodus out of the market for the remaining minor players, if everything stays regulatorily, the same. So what happens later?

Well, then you will have exactly what the US Government has been fighting against in the corporate world, with but a few major health insurance players remaining who will become...wait for it... "Too Big To Fail" (Ya just can't make this stuff up), if in fact they do manage to stay in business. But the other side of this coin speaks to financial investments in which these various health companies invest billions into the stock market and various funds. What happens if these funds go south in an atmosphere similar to what we saw in 2008 and 2009? Gee, now where have we heard that one before? Um...can you say "A.I.G ?" Yeah, it would be priceless if it weren't so dire.  We have already seen a severe decline in the number of employers offering health care as a benefit since Obamacare was passed, and if fewer employers are offering the coverage then this will mean that there will be fewer companies left to administer it.

New Oxy-Moron: Liberal Sage

Therefore, this Liberal idiot, in Unger, who hales, unsurprisingly, from California, and who represents a cross-section of other Left-Wing anti-capitalists, totally misses the deeper science involved within free market economics and a free capital system.

We wonder also if this simplistic  sage of liberaldom, in Rick Unger, would also apply his motley theories to his act of article writing, as well? Would you, Rick, be willing to give up your singular profit component of payment for your articles, despite often being suffused with spoor, which you moronically craft?

If so, my left-leaning friend, what would happen is quite simple in theory.
