Morning headlines read, “Senate Reaches Broad Health Pact“, “Democrats Reach Deal On Health Plan” or some scenario that many will trust and not read deep down to obtain the facts of this “broad deal.”

As the infomercials commonly say, “But wait, there’s more!”

Wall Street Journal byline, “Senate Democrats agreed to abandon the government-run insurance plan at the heart of a proposed health bill and to expand Medicare to some as young as 55.”

The real information you need to know is:

“DON’T BELIEVE IT!”

Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is still light years away from producing the 60 votes necessary to pass Obamacare out of the Senate. And the few details that have leaked out about this new “broad agreement” only reveal just how desperate Reid is to get any bill on to Barack Hussein Obama’s desk by the New Year.

Even leftist columnist E.J. Dionne has frankly admitted, the December deadline is a purely political invention, created for the sole purpose of enabling President Barack Obama to point to at least one accomplishment during his State of the Union speech in January. Dionne’s column was aptly titled, “The Best Holiday Gift“. We thought governing was for the people, by the people and not a gift to make a politician look good for a speech.

Not surprising I was unable to find details of the agreement because they have not been made public, and Senate Democrats are refusing to make them public until they hear back from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

Dependable as always The Heritage Foundation did find some “selective leaks” to allow analysis explaining why the deal is no more than a desperate attempt to satisfy Obama and his leftist ilk.

Doubling Down on Debt: Medicare is already bankrupting our country. In 2007 alone, Medicare was forced to draw $179 billion from the general revenues of the U.S. Treasury. According to the latest Medicare trustees report, the program already faces $36 tril­lion dollar long-term budget shortfall. Medicare’s annual drain on our resources is set to skyrocket in 2011 when the first wave of baby boomers retire. The new Senate deal would only make this problem worse by expanding Medicare eligibility to people without insurance between the ages of 55 and 64.

Death Sentence for Hospitals: The Reid Health Bill already delivers a huge blow to our nation’s hospitals by cutting Medicare reimbursements to hospitals by hundreds of billions of dollars. Moving millions of more Americans to Medicare would cut into hospital revenues even further. That is why both the American Hospital Association and the Federation of American Hospitals sent alerts yesterday urging their members to oppose the new Senate deal.

A Government Run Health Care Coup: You might think that leftists who have been dreaming about single payer, government run health care for years would be upset about the new Senate deal. They are not. The existing Medicaid expansions in the bill, and the new Senate deal Medicare expansions, are just a continuation of the left’s health care agenda since the defeat of Hillarycare: Slowly expand existing government programs so that all private health care is strangled out of existence. So instead of fighting to preserve the public option, leftist activist Chris Bowers urges readers to fight “to expand the Medicare buy-in to all Americans between the age of 55 and 64 (inclusive).” Progressive health care guru Ezra Klein says the new deal is better than the public option because “it seed[s] health-care reform with scalable experiments.” (Emphasis LCs)

More backroom deals, some and mirrors and in the end the “pubic option” is allowed a “trigger” to kick in later so government run healthcare is the status quo while freedom, liberty and the right to choose becomes a footnote in American history. And we thought Liberals were all about “the right to choose. Only only it means killing an unborn child. Indeed!
