Wayne Shepherd: So we have this bill before Congress to
nationalize our healthcare. What does it really look like?
We’ve got a
picture of that today here on the Public Square®. Dave, I don’t
know how you’re going to communicate this picture on the radio, but that will be
your job here today.
Dave Zanotti: The first thing I’ll say is please come to the
website, APRoundtable.org and take a look at this picture. Wayne, when I
first saw it I thought it was some propaganda from those opposing the measure.
But then I read the bill and I can tell you, no, they got it.
WS: Accurate depiction. It looks very Rube Goldberg
though, doesn’t it.
DZ: Well it looks like maybe a motherboard in a computer.
Or maybe one of those games we used to play as kids where you’d have a plastic
piece and a little bee with a magnet and you got to move in and out of the boxes
and the colors.
WS: Well I will say this, it’s pretty. I mean all the
colors, it’s very pretty.
DZ: Look at the colors. It is, it’s an attempt to try and explain when
you’re going to create something with words. What is that something going
to look like? So it’s a flow chart, an org. chart if you will. Cause
what’s happened in this actual legislation, Wayne, is we are in fact, the
Congress is creating in this bill, a department, levels and layers of
bureaucracies, full time employees, a massive structure, through which all
healthcare, private and public, will now flow. And when you put that
org. chart down and you look at it, honestly it kind of creeps you out.
Because you think, oh my goodness, it’d be one thing if we were running trains
this way, but this is people’s lives.
WS: In all seriousness,
you’ve got to
see this organizational chart of the proposed nationalize healthcare. It
will help you see just how complicated this thing is.
DZ: And hope people will quickly want to
contact there members of
congress and explain how they feel about this as well.
WS: Alright, we’ll help you when you come to APRoundtable.org. For
Dave Zanotti and the Public Square® I'm Wayne Shepherd. We'll see you
next time.
