It’s true that great minds think alike, although I must humble myself. It doesn’t take much brain power to see all the very visible flaws in Arnold’s health plan. Several good articles out there today tearing apart Arnold’s pending implosion of the Golden State.

If a version of Gov. Schwarzenegger’s plan passes, the only thing certain is that there will be more regulation, more government spending and more taxes. A better path would be to deregulate, and thus achieve some increase in the number of insured–without new spending or taxes or regulation.

Wall Street Journal

Yeah, I believe I covered that…..

Imagine the following scenario: An elected official gets in front of his constituents and proposes to give everybody health insurance. To accomplish this, he suggests strictly regulating the insurance industry, placing severe limits, not only on how they sell policies, but also on how they allocate their corporate spending. He also proposes subsidizing insurance for low-income people, many of whom will end up getting their coverage through a giant government program. And to pay for all of this, he wants to raise taxes on doctors and hospitals, while forcing businesses to pay for the coverage of their employees….

The New Republic

Just stupifying, I know…….

Before I get into what I hope to be a well-reasoned and economically sound discussion of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s new “universal health care” plan, please bear with the following outburst: Arnold’s plan is some of the most muddle-headed, idiotic, socialist crap I have ever seen from a serious politician, much less from a Republican.

Real Clear Politics

I have to admit that I am still rather stunned that Arnold took the time to put this proposal together and then actually went public with it in front of hundreds of millions of people. He really said to himself, “This is a good idea.” Clearly a few blunts were involved. His healthcare plan is akin to saying we are going to revolutionize transportation by incorporating the square wheel.
