This week Pres. Obama and the Democrats have made it clear that they’re going to push for the passage of government health care regardless of what the people want. This health care bill is a terrible plan but once the government has the power to control our nation’s health care system they will be able to change it to meet their goals.
No one thinks this is really a good bill, but this administration is determined to do whatever it can to get our nation’s health care under government control. This bill can collapse our economic system which will give Obama the opportunity to “fundamentally transform” our government to a more progressive or socialist economy.
The American people do not want the government to have control of our health care. Our system does need some improvement, but government control will make it worse not better.
Even though our system has flaws, it is still the best health care in the world. In one very public case, the Premier of Newfoundland came to the US for heart surgery instead of trusting Canada’s national health care system. That’s not much of an endorsement for government health care when one of the government leaders avoids it.
We seniors will be more vulnerable because under national health care any procedure you may need will be evaluated on cost-effectiveness based on your age and health. We already see some instances of this type of rationing under Medicare. These review panels are specifically mandated in the bill.
At Obama’s health summit recently, Rep. Paul Ryan exposed many of the true facts about the cost of this bill and how many expenses are being hidden by politicians. I have attached the short video of his remarks. To view it, simply click this link: Paul Ryan. No one refuted the facts Representative Ryan discussed.
There are still some Democrats who object to provisions still in the bill, such as abortion. They also know that most of the voters oppose government health care. However, Obama is summoning them to the White House in small groups and applying pressure to secure their votes. One representative from Utah even had his brother offered a federal judgeship appointment the same day he was to meet with Obama.
While there is still time, make your voice heard by your politicians. They know the people do not support this bill and we need to remind them that we’re watching and will remember their vote in the November elections.
Seniors will be one of the groups that will see the most rationing under this Government bill. I don’t mean to alarm you, but I do want you to have a fair warning. If we don’t look out for ourselves, don’t be disappointed when others won’t.
