Big Government has big plans for you- and as is typical of the unsettling nightmare that is the Obama era these plans have nothing to do with liberty freedom or opportunity- and everything to do with centralization of power/peremptory diktats from the Dear Leader... along-with a little under-the-table Chicago-style dealing to get all the players together.

Sadly many Americans are so politically lazy and irresponsible that they're simply oblivious to the Democrats' all-out assault on sacred American traditions like independence and self-reliance... but like Trotsky said of military issues: "You may not be interested in war... but war is interested in you."

Those paying a little bit more attention see fresh reason for concern in Big Pharma's development of a polypill - one that combines aspirin blood pressure medicine and a cholesterol lowering drug. Under nationalized healthcare -the primary long-term goal of ObamaCare- the federal government will wantevery adult on thispolypill.

This socialist brainstorm originated with the NHS in Britain... and it's been proposed as policy in Washington in the name of disease prevention. What's the purported reason? To save money of course... so more of the Dems' entitlement-dependent serfs can get health coverage through the "public option".

But there's another agenda here- Big Pharma profits. If you'll recall the pharmaceutical industry recently did a shady backroom deal with Team Obama to sell their endorsement of his misguided HC "reform" for a price- saving themselves from serious cost controls and importation of cheaper drugs from Canada in the process.

The federal polypill would be the next step for them. They surely don't care if it's actually a good idea for everyone to take it (it's not)- or that cholesterol-controlling drugs' ability to prevent heart disease is still open to debate- or that it will actually do quite a number of people more harm than good- 200+M polypills/day is some serious business.

The Natural News tells us Obama's MSM toadies are pushing it on us already:

The Associated Press gushed all over this news saying the Polypill has been "a dream for a decade" and that this company-funded clinical trial "proved the skeptics wrong."

The AP even quoted a doctor (Dr. Robert Harrington spokesperson for the American College of Cardiology) as saying this Polypill should be part of President Obama's health care reform plan.
How do they know the Polypill actually improved health? ...
Of course not. Big Pharma almost never measures real-world effects in its studies -- it only measures "biomarkers" that greatly oversimplify the true causes of disease...

Big Pharma has already bought-off the biggest players in Washington -including Obama- and if the government takeover of the HC goes through they'll be calling the shots on which medicines you get... and at what prices.

Former Congressman Billy Tauzin is the chief lobbyist for Big Pharma and armed with tens of millions of dollars he's bought a lot of influence... meanwhile cutting an opaque deal with President Obama to ensure that drug prices won't be negotiated any lower. This is the same Barack Obama that's been telling us for two years now how he'll chase all the lobbyists off with a pitchfork- what a joke.

And every time you think we've exhausted the chilling Orwellian parallels- here's another.
