Obama Doesn't Know

Congress doesn't know. Do you?

Do you know exactly what is in that massive socialized medicine package the government is trying so hard to foist upon us? You know, the one THEY are exempt from? Well, here is the bad news, folks. It's long, but I strongly encourage you to read the whole thing. Then call your reps (everyone has three--do you know who yours are?) and say "No way, No how."

I'm sure by now you have all heard some or a lot about the national health care bill proposed in the House of Representatives. Regardless of your political persuasion please be open to what I am about to share with you. A friend of mine has been studying the bill as it is developing and here are a few things she discovered. Oh, and the link to the entire bill as it is currently is at the bottom:


1. It targets those on medicare with rationing of health care benefits, with a preference to spend money on the young drug and alcohol abusers. Rather than a hip or knee replacement we will be given pain killers.

2. When a person turns age 62 they will be mandated to attend end of life counseling. (Note: this is not a symposium on how to best enjoy your golden years!)

3. Abortion will be paid for in both the government run plan and will be mandated to be covered in the private sector. Also it mandates creation of many new abortion clinics and nullification of at least some state limitations on abortion.

(Why the focus on ending life rather than saving life?)

4. Private plans will go out of business because they will not be able to enroll any new participants. If you leave your current employer for a new employer you will not be able to sign up with the new group - you must be covered by the government program.

5. The IRS will fund the government run plan and if they need more funding, the IRS will be able to raise our taxes without congressional approval.

6. The members of the House of Representatives have not read the 1,018 pages of this proposed bill.

7. The Congress and all federal employees will be exempt from this plan. (If it's good enough for us, why isn't it good enough for them?)

8. What is the rush to pass the House and Senate bills by August, 2009 if the mandates of the bill would not take effect until 2013? Could it be they don't want us to know what's in the bill?

9. An appointed health counsel will determine your health care treatment - not your doctor.

10. The doctors will be told how many patients they can see in one day and how much money they can make. This of course will cause a shortage of doctors.

Brava!! Everyone in America needs to see this piece of garbage that they are trying to foist on us. It is completely unconscionable that they have so little regard for the citizens of America - the very people who mistakenly voted many of them into office. And, the ones who are simply going along with it based on straight party lines - ought to be run out of the country and left to flounder in some pathetic bastion of idiocy - perhaps our dear leader's 'real' birthplace. Atlas Shrugged, people. Atlas Shrugged.

Wow. What a rip off! I agree with you and also with Lisa's comments above - the people who supported obama, who think he is the new messiah, go right along with all this crap they are spewing.

The most frightening part is the mandatory "end of life" counseling. Basically it is a government agent deciding whether you deserve to live or not.

And this post only covers about half the bill. I'm going to post the other half soon.
