Not Essential? Oh, Please...!

In case you weren't yet persuaded, here is yet another video compilation showing Democrat after Democrat plainly professing the desire to have a single payer (i.e. government controlled) health care system:

Anyone who stands in their way -- like insurance companies or the American people -- gets demonized and attacked to try to bludgeon them into line. For example:

Democrats on a House committee are seeking detailed financial records from dozens of large insurance companies, officials disclosed Tuesday, part of an investigation into "executive compensation and other business practices" in an industry opposed to President Barack Obama's plan to overhaul health care.

The request included records relating to compensation of highly paid employees, documents relating to companies' premium income and claims payments, and information on expenses stemming from any event held outside company facilities in the past 2 1/2 years.

The requests were made in letters signed by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., who guided a portion of health care legislation through the House Energy and Commerce Committee last month as chairman, and Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., who heads the Energy and Commerce investigations and oversight subcommittee.

They wrote that the committee was "examining executive compensation and other business practices in the health insurance industry." The Associated Press obtained a copy.

The requests were issued at a time when Obama's health care proposal is under intense attack from Republicans and other critics, including the health insurance industry. Much of the opposition focuses on proposals for the government to sell insurance in competition with private carriers.

What would the government need with insurance companies' financial records? Is it too much to ask why the government is looking for this information while the insurance industry is fighting against a bill that would essentially wipe it out?

Hmmm...

It's Chicago-style Obama politics in action. Hope! Change!

There's my two cents.
