Ok. Just be honest.

I read this in the WSJ today.  Basically it has quotes from John Cassidy from the New Yorker that illustrate that the health care reform movement has very little to do with reform, and a lot to do with things like redistribution of wealth and growing government in order to benefit Dems, because who could win an election on the platform on taking away your free government health care that’s paid for by the rich.

Why are they doing it? Because, according to Mr. Cassidy, ObamaCare serves the twin goals of “making the United States a more equitable country” and furthering the Democrats’ “political calculus.”

I’ve heard Ed Schultz say similar things, as have some of my leftie buddies.

So now the question.

Is the HC reform bill/movement currently in Congress truly about reforming our system into one that’s more efficient, or do some of you admit that you want this to pass because it accomplishes liberal goals unrelated to anyone’s health?

This is not about Limbaugh saying this, these are libs and Dems openly admitting that the bill  is more about things like this:

Mr. Cassidy is more honest than the politicians whose dishonesty he supports. “The U.S. government is making a costly and open-ended commitment,” he writes. “Let’s not pretend that it isn’t a big deal, or that it will be self-financing, or that it will work out exactly as planned. It won’t. What is really unfolding, I suspect, is the scenario that many conservatives feared. The Obama Administration . . . is creating a new entitlement program, which, once established, will be virtually impossible to rescind.”
