Judicial Watch has released several explosive documents detailing some of the behind-the-scenes happenings during Hillary’s failed attempt to socialize healthcare. What they reveal is absolutely amazing and offers a look at what we can expect should Shrillary somehow manage to capture her Holy Grail.

A memo from Senator Jay Rockefeller to Hillary provides a number of response strategies to expected criticisms, and also offers some very revealing commentary on the media. Rockefeller scornfully identifies a number of different groups likely to criticism the initiative, including “deficit hawks,” “government bashers,” and “militant single-payers. He also recommends “exposing the lifestyles, tactics and motives of small business lobbyists” who, along with economics, he predicts will dare to point out the expected job losses. He also offers an unflattering portrayal of media, “News directors, planners and editors, and features producers and editors are anxious and willing to receive guidance on how to time and shape their coverage.”

Anxious to await guidance from democrats on how to shape their coverage?

What media bias?

Another internal memo offers a critique of the plan as well as some valuable insight into the mind of liberals.

There is more regulation in this plan that I expected to see, and I worry about the wisdom of much of it. The spirit and some of the substance contradict the idea of flexibility for states and room for variety, innovation, and competition.

…I can think of parallels in wartime, but I have trouble coming up with a precedent in our peacetime history for such broad and centralized control over a sector of the economy. Is the public really ready for this? The polls all show people think we should be spending more money on health care; of course, people don’t see how much health care is costing them.

Not seeing the true costs of health care is exactly why it costs so much in the first place, and something that big government liberals always count on. They want to convince you that their centralized solutions will be cheaper, but it’s a lie; you just won’t easily see how much it really costs.
