Supreme Court ruling puts the Nanny State in control

Bolshevik!

Pardon my Russian, but that's the only way to put it now that General Secretary Barack Obama's grand socialist experiment is the confirmed law of the land.

Thanks to this morning's Supreme Court ruling, you can kiss whatever's left of your health freedom goodbye as Washington pinkos can now force you to pony up top rubles for a health care system that's about to get even worse than it is now.

And believe me, if you think it's bad now... you ain't seen nothing yet!

ObamaCare will cost us at least an extra $1.76 trillion -- trillion with a T -- over the next decade. You know the massive Spanish bailout that's also making headlines this week? That $1.76 trillion would pay for it 14 times over!

In return for shelling out all that money you'll get... well... you'll get the government increasing your premiums and lowering standards.

The system adds 30 million new patients to the same healthcare system we have now -- at your expense -- without doing a thing to increase the number of doctors in the country.

The Soviets had breadlines that stretched for blocks. You'll have lines like that at your doctor's office.

Don't think for a minute that this will change based on who's elected this autumn -- especially since Mitt Romney actually created the program that ObamaCare was based on.

But for you personally, there's an "out" that doesn't involve leaving the country (although, let's face facts here, that might not be a bad option either).

You see, if you opt out of ObamaCare and choose no Nanny State insurance at all, you're supposed to pay a fine to the IRS. But Congress neglected to give the IRS the power to actually collect that fine.

In other words, if you refuse to pay, the IRS can't as of now file a lien or bring criminal charges against you for the money. Expect a fair amount of bullying and plenty of time in court -- but there's not a word in the 2,700-page law that says they can actually force you to cough up that dough.

Next up: The ugly scene behind the scenes of ObamaCare. Keep reading!

If the flu shot was so damned important, why do the people who know it best, want it least?

A new report finds that barely half of all healthcare workers in California hospitals got flu shots last year, at the height of the Great Swine Flu Swindle.

What's more, two-thirds of state hospitals failed to meet the federal target of 60 percent vaccination rates, and only 1.6 percent had vaccination rates of 80 percent or better, according to numbers obtained by Consumers Union, the organization behind Consumer Reports.

Consumers Union seems to think this is part of some great national scandal -- that healthcare workers are putting themselves and their patients at risk by not getting shots.

PUH-leaze -- save the outrage act for faulty dishwashers, because these aren't irresponsible nincompoops. These are people exposed to the flu on the frontlines every day, people plugged into the medical community, and people who have read the very real and consistent research on the futility of the flu shot.

Give them a little credit -- they know something about this, and they know it's a hoax... and not just in California.

Across the country, healthcare workers refused to raise their sleeves for the vaccination last year, and in some cases it nearly cost them their jobs. Thankfully, the courts put to a stop to what was turning into a de facto forced vaccination program.

And now, the jig is up once and for all -- because if the shot was so important to good health, all these unvaccinated workers should have gotten sick... practically shutting down hospitals and clinics across the nation.

Remember the Great Doctor Shortage of 2009? Of course you don't -- because it didn't happen.

So if you can't take it from me, take it from them -- you don't need a shot to avoid the flu. Just good habits, good hygiene and a good immune system.
