Or the INS (then, or now as the USCIS) or the IRS or the Post Office….

It’s KennedyCare, Ted’s take on so-called health care reform, which is really just control reform since the only thing the feds are targeting is how health care is paid for–and ultimately how much is paid for it and how much of it is not paid for (the dreaded “R” word that no Democrat will utter–rationing).

Kennedy is set to unveil his reform module on Monday, and it’s everything a person who loves government will adore–it’s the rapid march to nationalized medicine and the perhaps even more rapid demise of quality health care. Mainly, it’s just the failed Commonwealth Care program that is strangling Massachusetts’ finances and destroying access to doctors and hospitals.

Former GE chief Jack Welch, who lives in Massachusetts, was asked on CNBC what people in the state thought of their new health care system, and he said, in effect, “They all love government, and they’re all drinking the same kool-aid.”

Kennedy is adamant, according to sources, on creating a federal health insurance option, which is, of course, the Trojan Horse needed to kill off private health insurance so that all that’s left standing is one of the great government failures of all time, Medicare (which singlehandedly created the mess we’re in right now).

People who love government will love KennedyCare. The trick now is to hide the costs for those of us who don’t drink the kool-aid, or maybe they just don’t care. Us teetotalers don’t really matter, now do we?
