California's AB 2943 Counter to Democrat Party's Health Care Argument

By Douglas V. Gibbs

In modern society the assumption regarding our rights is that government must protect and guarantee our rights. For example, when it comes to health insurance, the common belief is that health care is a right, therefore, government must protect our access to health care against greedy private entities, legally force those corporations and any medical personnel to give us unobstructed access to all health services, and subsidize that access if necessary. As a result, proponents of the modern definition associated with our rights support concepts such as “single-payer”, “universal” or “socialized” health care.

To the liberal left, true liberty is only a silly illusion.  It is their job to control all, and manipulate it as needed.

The real illusion, however, emerges in their contradictions ... their willingness to change direction as needed, for the sake of the utopian agenda they hold dear to their own version religiosity.

If one is going to use their argument regarding health care, then the details of A.B. 2943 in California, put into place and being pushed by the Democrats, is completely contrary to their definition of health care.

A.B. 2943 (bill text) declares “advertising, offering to engage in, or engaging in sexual orientation change efforts with an individual” as illegal under state’s consumer fraud law. Sexual orientation change efforts is defined as “any practices that seek to change an individual’s sexual orientation. This includes efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions, or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same sex.”

If that is the case, then that means government is doing what it can to block access to counseling if someone who wishes not to wrestle with homosexuality would like to seek that kind of services.  But, I thought the Democrats claim government must clear the path for all health services.  Why, with A.B. 2943, do they seek to obstruct one's access to some health services, while claiming with health care for all that they wish to grant access to all health services?

Health Care, and pretty much everything else, are simply small, intricate, and interchangeable parts of a much larger political game.  They move the pieces, change their stances, and do what they can for only one goal . . . utopia.  It's a jagged road where the rules change constantly, are adjusted constantly, for the sake of their authoritarian desires.  Along the way, with all of the lies and deception going on, there is bound to be contradictions.  They were for the war in Iraq before they were against it.  They were for traditional marriage before they were against it.  They once railed against illegal immigration to protect the unions, and in fact Cesar Chavez spoke out against illegal immigration.  Now, because illegals now pose as a political opportunity, they support illegal immigration.  They used to be for peace at any cost, sticking flowers in the barrels of guns.  Now?  Riots are okay.  Violence in the streets is a part of their game.  How about free speech?  Remember how once, long ago, they fought for freedom of speech, voicing a quick agreement with Voltaire, "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it"?  Now, with political correctness, safe spaces, and hate speech they no longer believe in free speech.  It turned out not to serve their purpose, so now they've changed direction on that issue, too.

As for health care, from their point of view you are only allowed to have the health care that fits their political agenda.  They say they support health care for all, but if your desire for health services defies their agenda, such as aversion therapy, then it won't be allowed.  In truth, they only support health care for the things they politically agree with, and for the things that advances their utopian agenda.

That's where the idea of death panels came from when talking about Obamacare.  When healthcare no longer fits their agenda, it will be rationed, changed, and altered, and those who do not fit the agenda will be led to die for the good of the community.

That is the way of progressivism.  In the end, they are authoritarians seeking more power, be it water rationing, soda rationing, or healthcare rationing.  They seek to perpetuate crises, not solve them, unless somehow a solution may assist in their lust for power, and utopia.
