Obama is "tired of talking about" health care.
Well, boo hoo hoo, Mr. President. That is the whining of a petulant child. If he had been able to answer the many rational objections to massively increasing government intervention in health care, and found his well-reasoned rebuttals falling on deaf ears, then he would be justified in saying that he's sick of the discussion. But that is emphatically not the case. Obama has failed to answer objections with anything more than a lame "because it's right," which means "because I feel it's right," not "because the facts show that it's right." That's because he can't. He can't use logic and facts to support what he wants because logic and the facts support a completely opposite conclusion: that what we need in health care is a fully free market.
So, Obama has no right to demand an end to the debate and the execution of his whims just because he's tired of talking about health care. Guess what, Mr. President? I'm tired of talking about it, too. I'm tired of having to argue, over and over again, that health care is not a right -- that the high cost of so many healthcare goods and services is because of, not in spite of, government regulation -- that neither insurers nor doctors nor patients should be enslaved by the government in the name of universal health care.
I'm tired of talking about it, but I will continue to do so, because I value my life and I don't want the government messing with my health care even more than it already has.
You, Mr. President, do not have the luxury of throwing a tantrum and saying that we Americans need to stop talking about health care and just do what you want. If you'd like to stop talking about it, please do shut your pie hole, learn some basic laws of economics, and start defending individual rights the way you're supposed to -- by dropping all talk of healthcare "reform" via government controls, and talking about a free market instead.

Well said!
Eat your heart out about the health care bill passage, sweetie. And don’t forget to stick to your principles and refuse to let anyone withhold from your wages for Medicare for when your turn comes and, of course, don’t sign up for it when you become eligible.
After all, Dagny wouldn’t have compromised, now would she?

I'll refer you to Ayn Rand's essay on the issue of scholarships. It is perfectly moral to accept back some of the money that has been stolen from you, so long as you continue to oppose government encroachment on rights. To do otherwise would be to leave all of those stolen tax dollars to the people who *do* advocate big government -- which means, letting the thieves have all the money. Hell, no.
Not that I expect Medicare won't have gone bankrupt long before I'm of retirement age, cupcake.
