Last week’s health care ruling will undeniably affect the lives of Americans financially and economically, but how will it impact us psychologically?
Dr. Keith Ablow, a bestselling author and one of America’s leading psychiatrists, asserts that the change will be “absolutely infantilizing,” and there will be incalculable ramifications because of it.
The economic impact, he asserts, “pales in comparison” to the cost to the American mindset.
He told Megyn Kelly on “America Live” that money is a metaphor, and in allowing the federal government to direct our hard-earned income to insurance companies or anywhere else, we are effectively left with an “allowance” that we can use as our parents in Washington see fit.
He explained:
“When the government begins to act as parent to its citizens as children, and says ‘we are going to earmark your after-tax dollars…you must spend it on certain things,’ that [literally means] that you don’t know whether any of your money is really yours because today it could be health care, tomorrow it could be a hybrid vehicle that you are penalized financially for not buying.
“It takes control of your behavior in the way that a parent would of a child, and it diminishes us in terms of our autonomy and our ability to achieve things, even for liberty, on the world stage.”
It makes Americans believe that they are weak, he continued, and it absolutely infantilizes the country:
“Listen, even adolescents or younger kids [dream] of the day when they’re in charge of their own money. Why? Because we know that money has that significance, it means independence, it means that you’re in charge of your destiny, kids dream of this.
“To treat the American public as though they are preadolescent slingshots them back that way psychologically, so that they say to themselves: ‘my decision-making capacity isn’t so good. After all, if I don’t do what they tell me, I’m going to be fined for it, and it seems that we voted this in…’”
He concluded: “What it does is it deposits us back as children when economically, more than ever, we need to be adult.”
Ablow asserts that the 'Occupy' protests are only a glimpse of what is down the road, if the health care bill is not effectively repealed (Photo: AP)
But where does that leave us? If we really are due to become a nation of adolescents, how will we handle crises, or even day-to-day matters?
According to Ablow, we are due to see a “surge of anger” in the country if the law stays in place, but not necessarily because people want to get rid of it.
He explained to Kelly:
“You think Occupy Wall Street looked like a spectacle– imagine tens of millions of adult-children of Barack Obama deprived of their direction, of their moneys…99 weeks of unemployment, lots of food stamps, lots of bailouts. ‘We tell you how to spend your money so that the piggy bank is really ours, but you can keep it cause you’re a good kid.’
“Guess what– when the piggy bank ain’t there, these are the people who are going to take to the streets with rocks. Trust me.”
Watch the fascinating segment, via Mediaite, below:
Kelly pointed out that rock-throwing and rage is exactly what happened in Greece, another entitlement society, before asking whether America is different.
Ablow responded:
“Well now you’re at the crux of the matter. We have been different, and that‘s why we’ve been the hope of liberty and the hope of the free world. Why? Because we’re invested in the notion that people are autonomous, we’re independent, we know right from wrong, we act for right.”
Barack Obama, on the other hand, does not trust this “individual impulse” and believes it must be “tempered by a central authority,” Ablow concluded, and that leads “to nowhere other than mediocrity and to the rise of despots.”

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 4:16amWow, all the Marxist (Liberal) “wack” jobs are out on this one… how wonderful. But the genie is out of the bag and the Progressive /Marxist agenda has been uncovered for all to see. Look at how the Holder defenders ignore the reality that Justice sent machine guns to Mexico and hundreds of people and one of our agents were killed. They act like it never happened…Similarly, the Obama care defenders deny the facts- Socialism does not work and leads to communism as the leaders tighten their grip. The facts are that when you remove the desire of the population to better themselves, using the smothering effects of omnipresent (nanny) government the nation stagnates- History has proven that again and again. (and the reason History is not taught in our schools these days)
Report Post »What we are seeing now are the visible machinations of a wanna be totalitarian state beginning to tighten the noose on the population.
Their next move is a massive attack on the 2nd amendment, as our armed citizenry is the last bastion of resistance to their lust for power.
America is not Russia or Asia, and the Marxists will fail. The fight for our freedom will be bloody but in the end we will take back our Country.
We can avoid this possible future my fellow Conservatives, but it requires a massive voter turnout in November as the first move to excise the usurpers.
If we cannot muster the votes to turn the tide of these Marxist invaders, the inevitable physical confrontation looms ahead.

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 10:15amI agree with a good deal of your commentary, however I am less optimistic about our ability to take the country back. I believe the general population (as exampled by Verceofreason) have lost their ability to be independant, free thnking accountable people. I am sad to say that i believe that the majority of the people in the US would trade the effort, motivation and self-ownership required to be a free society for that false hope of having Nanny State GIVERment take care of our every need.
Based on the comments on here from our progressive friends, there is one common thread and that is we don’t want to take care of ourselves.

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 11:28amRightallalong:
I DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU. I believe the majority of Americans LOVE THEIR FREEDOMS and I also believe that they NOW (since Obama came into the WH) understand what is at stake. THIS GOVERNMENT HAS AFFECTED THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES and I believe THEY NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE UP AGAINST and have the backbone to fight it.
The problem is that MORE CONSERVATIVES should RESPOND to progressive remarks and attacks, but they don’t. Conservatives don’t really like conflict and therefore, they don’t waste their breath, but use their strength at the polls or for other things to make a difference.
What did it for me (I was a Democrat, but am now an Independent) was THE LIES THAT OBAMA AND HIS MINIONS told. FACTS and TRUTH makes all the difference.
That is what made me free from the lies the left told me and that I believed. I started doing my own homework and now, all those liberal friends I had, won’t have anything to do with me because I dispute them with FACTS every time. I have an answer anytime they debate me. They cannot dispute the truth. So, THEY RUN and deny.
So, I am one Democrat, now Independent, who now fights for our freedoms and liberties.
So, anyone who dismisses the importance of what is going on in our country, is still asleep or denying the truth. What they don’t understand is that TO DO NOTHING MEANS THAT FREEDOM IS NOT IMPORTANT TO THEM. They will lose their freedom personally. They will forever be chained to Uncle Sam.

Asia and Africa have long expelled her. Europe regards her like a stranger, and England has given her warning to depart. O! receive the fugitive, and prepare in time an asylum for mankind.” .

Report Post »You write: “America is not Russia or Asia, and the Marxists will fail.” We all keep telling ourselves this but most times when I look around, they are NOT failing, they‘re winning and we’re taking it in the shorts. Tell me how they’re failing.
Here’s the way it works: For all the GBs, Fox News or Rushes, there’s MSM which dwarfs the others as a mouthpiece. So when Glenn or O’Reilly say something, its counter is run on other news outlets with their “experts” all making us look like uncompassionate neanderthals. Think I’m off-base, look at the effect it had on CJ Roberts….and he’s insulated with a lifetime appointment. Why should he care what folks think of him.
If we try to financially starve O-care, he or another president will fund it through Executive Order/fiat and we’ll be branded obstructionists. Even Mitch McConnell doesn’t have the stomach to repeal it; he‘s a tired old man yet the Left’s old men are full of fight; e.g. Ted Kennedy.
It’s a natural progression/regression; as with other countries we were once great.

“After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.”

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 5:41amI never said I was moving out…I just did what I wanted and didn’t take a dime from them. If they asked me to do chores, I did them…sometimes. If they needed me to look after something/someone…I did…till I realized they were manipulators and then locked myself in my room knowing all that I knew about the world and how inescapable it was…even with the imperfection of my own family and how I pretty much condemn them along with the world.
I’d much rather pay my family rent than some liberal. If I move into an apartment, I will ask philosophical questions. Politics is too overt. Religion is taboo.
So I will use stories like the one about Prometheus being imprisoned by God or “Did you know” questions that are posed in politically correct ways. :)

This is the Obama/liberal/progressive playbook to have his minions post on conservative sites, repeating talking points and broad statements that are ludicrous and have no factuall basis.
Here is how they operate:
I say the Obamacare law is destructive for our country, we cannot oafford it, and I worry about my 3 year old daughter’s future and they claim that my statement is bigoted, racist, hateful, and ignorant.

Posted on July 2, 2012 at 11:29pmCouldn’t see the video, but this is silly. Certainly healthcare costs per capita are probably double that of other industrialized countries. But among other western democracies we are last in the quality of healthcare for the average citizen. We in this country are not expectional in the healthcare we provide our own. We’re not good, we’re not average, we’re dead last.
If you’re a millionaire or billionaire, then yes, you can get the best healthcare the world has to offer. But for the average American, like you and me, our healthcare is the most expensive and worst in the industrialized world.

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 2:18amAm I the only one who noticed the last sentence in that Wikipedia article about the WHO rankings of health systems that ANTITHiEST linked? “The WHO abandoned ranking processes due to academic criticism regarding the methodology and validity of rankings.” This means that a review of the methodology used to create the rankings, which was done by academics (i.e., mostly liberals), found that the rankings were flawed. As a result, the WHO stopped doing the rankings. I don’t believe those rankings are accurate because they defy common sense, and apparently neither do liberal academics. ANTITHEIST accepts them on faith, I guess, because they are easier to believe in than God.

Kicked the poor and sick into the ditch??
I am a Doctor, and I would never do such a thing. In fact, I give 30% or more of MY time for free, for nothing, gratis. And 100,000′s of my colleagues do the same thing.
How much of your money and time did you give last year? Zero, would be my guess.
In a Socialist healthcare world, they simply create exclusionary rules, avoid the responsibility, or create systematic lack of access, to avoid caring for the infirmed and sick, in particular the old.
Now, in relation to Glenn Beck, he is NOT contradicting himself. We have the best trained medical professionals, equipment and access in the entire world, bar none, but the advent of complex intertwining of government regulations, rules and non-sensical dictates, what should be a customer/patient friendly situation is turned into a quagmire of complexity. THIS is what he is railing about—-NOT about the diagnosis of applied treatment( in other words, the care of his Doctor and direct nursing staff).
So you shout: WE DONT have access! Really? Thats why my ER admits 100′s of indigents, illegal aliens every week, and provides CARTE BLANCHE care, diagnostics and treatment for ZERO. Nada. In fact, 30% of the business we do in our hospital is ABSOLUTELY free.
This was TRUE before Obamacare, and EMTLA, and will be true AFTER its gone—-because we are civil and humane.

What would you opinion be If we simply could not afford to pay for healthcare for people. Now fortunately, that is not the case. I have a reliable source in politics that informed me the US government is currently sitting on a surplus of around 700 trillion dollars, despite hearing about a 15 trillion dollar deficit in the news.
This is only a hypothetical, because of our surplus, but if you had to choose between healthcare for all or bankruptcy which would you choose.
This question is off topic but also would like your opinion. Along with health care, we also have the right to bear arms-plural, that right is at least on paper. Would you support raising taxpayer rates to provide as many arms-plural to those who wish to exercise their right to bear arms despite being unable to afford them?

The National Association of Realtors is all over this and working to get it repealed, — before it takes effect. But, this is a ploy to steal billions from unsuspecting homeowners. How many realtors do you think will vote Democratic in 2012?
Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That’s $3,800 on a $100,000 home, etc. When did this happen? It’s in the health care bill, — and it goes into effect in 2013. Why 2013? Could it be so that it doesn’t come to light until after the 2012 elections? So, this is ‘change you can believe in’?
Under the new health care bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% sales tax.
If you sell a $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to screw the retiring generation, — who often downsize their homes. Does this make your November, 2012 vote more important?

I would posit that it is not necessarily only the ‘black community’, rather the ‘poor community’ as a whole is subject to this. Psychology knows no racial boundaries.
Nannyism is a product of the elitist mentality that is often displayed by the left. I have yet to meet a liberal person who does not think they are more educated, worldly, open-minded, compassionate or reasonable than a conservative.

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 1:31amWhat does any of this have to do with affordable health care for 30 million Americans who can’t afford it? Or are you of the opinion that the poor guy who had 1/2 his face chewed off, should have been left in the streets for the dogs to finish off. Another Medicare success.

Posted on July 2, 2012 at 10:56pmThe doctor is absolutely 100% correct in forecasting what will happpen if we try to make people grow up and take responsibility after having them at the public pig trough through the Obama years. The post-poning of adulthood has hurt our society big time. That is exactly what Obama and his minions want-the downfall of America through the insidious usurping of free-will through bread and circus programs.

Posted on July 2, 2012 at 10:54pmI went to work when I was 12 years old. Not because we were poor, but because I wanted my own money. I still want my own money, and just like in Russia and every other totalitarian state, I, and others will find ways to hide our money and control it. Some won’t. But thousands, if not millions will. Then, in the end, there will be violent revolution. I am not calling for it, just predicting it. It is the cycle. I don’t know when it will come, but it will. A mountaineer is always free.

Click on this link to read about Ablow’s dishonest approach of perpetuating myths, prejudices and stereotypes under the guise of “serious” psychology. The man is a total doüche.
