Among the many items in so-called health care reform never discussed by the traditional (read: brainwashed, complicit liberal) media is the start date of ALL the health care plans circulating through Congress–2013.

The obvious reason for this is that the Demofiends don’t want to inflict the pain inherent in their reform plans until after Barak Obama (oh, sorrowful day) is re-elected president. Of course, it could just as easily be Sarah Palin and a Republican Congress in 2013, but you can’t accuse the Demobastards of not at least aiming high.

The less obvious, and also never discussed, aspect of this start date is the Nigeran 419 aspect of health care reform.

A brief primer on the Nigerian 419 scam: You receive an e-mail stating that somehow millions of dollars have been left in your name in some (non-existent) Nigerian bank. Send $25,000, and the e-mail sender will negotiate for the release of the money. Of course, it’s pretty easy to see what happens next. Nothing. You’ve just lost $25,000.

Health care reform hinges on a similar principle. To make "universal" health care appear affordable, the measures are all loaded with up-front revenue enhancers, whether in the form of taxes or fees or some other euphemism for taxation and a government raid of your income, that kick in immediately. The Feds are thereby able to build up a war chest (in theory anyway since in practice the money would be immediately spent) for 2013 when the costs of implementing health care reform kick in. And these costs will be huge and quickly runaway from projections (see Massachusetts, Tennesse, etc.).

Like the Nigerian 419 scheme, you pay the Democrats up front, and what do you get after 2013?

Nothing.

 ’Cept for further expenses for health care insurance, whether at work or in your personal mailbox, and then some health care "czar" will set about rationing and denying treatment and medicines.

Change maybe you can believe it, but not me.

I ain’t no sucka.
