Fifty million people don’t have health care.
Well, actually, its only 47 million, but for effect, let’s round it up to 50 million.
After all, last year candidate Obama said it was 30 to 40 million.
And, he said these were 30 to 40 million uninsured or “under-insured”.
Whatever “under-insured” means.
Whatever happened to the “under-insured” part?
Could it be that under ObamaCare we will ALL be “under-insured”?
And before that it was 30 million.
And before that it was only 20 million.
This is becoming like an old fish story.
The more they tell it, the bigger it gets.
Actually, ALL 300 million Americans (plus 10, 12, up to 15 million illegals for that matter) actually cannot be denied health “care”.
They may not have health “insurance”, but they are NOT denied health “care”.
Whatever.
Notice that the Obamites say there are “50 million people without health care…”, but they never say that there are 50 million people who cannot AFFORD health care.
But why split hairs?
For the sake of argument, just to shut them up so we can move forward, let’s go ahead and “accept” that “50 million” figure.
First of all, since when do politicians NOT lie, to get what they want?
Who is on this list of “50 million”?
When Obama took office he asked for a list of all the Republican campaign contributors.
By the end of the day he had that list on this desk.
Can I see the list of “50 million” uninsured people?
I would like to spotcheck a few of their homes to see for myself just how “destitute” these people are.
After all, it took Obama’s folks over a month to find the “right family” to put on his dog-and-pony show.
That was the young couple whose neighbors were collecting pennies to help pay down their medical bills (note that this family was not DENIED health care. But the hospital had the audacity to send them a bill for services rendered….hmmm).
It took the Obama team over a MONTH to find this family.
I would like to see WHO is on this list of “uninsured”.
Is Oprah, Trump, and Bill Gates on this list?
These people are soooo filthy rich they don’t BUY insurance.
Are these in the number of those who “do not have health care”, even though they can obviously AFFORD health care.
What about dead people? Are dead people on this list?
Obama’s government is sending stimulus checks to dead people, so they must be on their list somewhere!
Are dead people on this list?
What about Mickey Mouse?
This is the party that illegally registered 400,000 fraudulent voters in 2008 (200,000 in Ohio alone – a MAJOR swing state) through their party recruitment wing, better know as ACORN.
How many times is Mickey Mouse on this list of “uninsured”?
And what about those 10-15 million illegal aliens?
If you press the Obamites hard enough, they will admit that this plan DOES cover illegal aliens.
However, they quickly add that we are already paying for illegal aliens.
But! Hold it right there!
Its one thing if an illegal goes into an emergency room and we get stuck paying their bill.
But if they think we are going to pay their monthly premium payments for them for the rest of their lives, these politicians are OUT OF THEIR MINDS (and soon will be out of their JOBS)!
How about we patch them up and DEPORT THEM?!
What about a “catch and release (south of the border)” program that repatriates these people back to THEIR countries?
How about we deduct the cost of their health care (and deportation costs) from money we probably already GIVE to their home country in financial aid?
If these countries want to stop losing money from the “free” money we GIVE them, then maaaybe they will help plug their side of the border?
Has anyone done a study, created a graph, to show how this “cost” would reduce over time if we “catch & release”, aka “patch & deport” these illegals?
I emphasize the word “ILLEGALS”.
Every time an Obamite says there are “50 million” uninsured Americans, they are lying.
10-15 million of those, as they admit, are NOT Americans.
Remove the illegals from the list. We are NOT paying for them.
So at best, at best, we are looking at 35 million Americans.
I emphasize the word “AMERICANS”.
While pressing the Obamites about illegal aliens, if you keep the pressure on a bit longer, they will also admit that over half (over HALF) of these “uninsured” people are single people, under 35 years of age, with full-time jobs.
In other words, they CAN afford their own health care.
How about we spend a few million dollars “counseling” these young people to be more responsible and BUY their own insurance?
They should learn that buying health care insurance is more important than another float trip.
We enforce car insurance requirements by not allowing people to get their vehicle license plates unless they show proof of car insurance, so how about we also require they show proof of health insurance?
Take these people off the list.
There are far better ways of dealing with this group than wrecking the entire health care system for everyone else.
Taking this group off the list takes us down to well under 17 million “uninsured”.
But if you keep pressing those Obamites just a little bit more, they will admit that over half of those left on the list are married people who make over $50,000 a year.
Now, what we don’t know is if this is a single income married person with 8 children, or a married person with no children.
Also, if 2 of the people in this group are married to each other, that is a combined household income of OVER $100,000 a year.
I don’t care how many kids they have, they CAN afford their own health care.
Also, the $50k figure is a MINIMUM.
The people in this group could be making $60, $70, $90,000 or more per year.
Same as the previous group, how about we spend a few million dollars counseling this group to be more responsible with their money and buy their own insurance?
Take this group off the list.
That takes us down to well under 10 million people.
Some economists say the actually figure is around 5 million people.
Now, my insurance costs about $3000 a year.
5 million people at $3000 a year comes to about $15 billion a year.
How would we pay for that?
RIGHT A CHECK!
$15 billion is less than just the earmarks attached to the $800 billion stimulus bill.
So for the sake of wasteful earmark pork, truly poor people (people who do not have insurance, need insurance, buy cannot afford insurance) are not getting coverage.
Actually, these people qualify for Medicaid!
They’re just too stupid, or lazy, to apply for it.
When they show up at the hospital, and are so poor (verifiable poor) that they cannot pay for the services, the hospital and/or doctors/nurses HELP them get into the Medicaid system.
So for each and every person in that 5 million truly needy people, Obama wants us to pay for one illegal alien, two single people under 35 with full-time jobs, one married person making over $50,000 a year, Oprah, Trump, and the rest of the filthy rich, dead people, and who knows how many Mickey Mouses.
Plus, presumeably, my own health care!
Sooo, exactly WHERE is this going to save me money??
But it gets worse!
Obama says we need to “lift the burden of health costs from the backs of corporations”?
Really?
If he was talking to a group of union people he would be telling them that their corporation was ripping them off. That they should demand more money, more benefits, more HEALTH CARE!
But when he’s telling his tall tale to us, he wants to remove the “burden from the corporations”?
And place it on who?
ME??
SERIOUSLY??
“No, no, the government plan would take care of it.”
Well, gee whiz Mr President, WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT!
Remember that whole bit about “…a government of the people, by the people, for the people..”?
Without MY taxes there would be no “government”.
But it gets worse!
It is an historical fact that for every dollar the federal government spends, it collects three in taxes.
Two dollars for every three collected is consumed by the federal government’s waste, bureaucracy and corruption.
So, just to keep even with what we have now, we need to give the government three times as much as what we are currently paying?
But it gets worse!
HALF THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY DO NOT PAY ANY TAXES!
Right now, my health insurance costs me less than 2% of my annual income.
And I make waaay less than $100,000 a year.
Under ObamaCare, I will pay for 5 million truly poor people, 10 million married people making at least $50,000 a year, 20 million single people, under 35, with full time jobs, Oprah, Trump, etc, dead people, Mickey Mouse and all his relatives, our employers’ half of our coverage, 3 times as much as they will spend, and 150 million people who PAY NO TAXES!
So, please, Mr Obama, back up and take another run at this and tell me one more time how I (me, I, this guy right here) is going to SAVE money on ObamaCare!
I try to NOT file claims against my insurance company so I can keep my premiums down.
In my adult life I have been to the doctor twice.
But under ObamaCare, they say I can go to the doctor any time I want?
As many times as I want?
As many days in a row as I want? All day long? Every day?
For the rest of my life?
And everyone (EVERYONE!) else can too?
And somehow the costs for health care are going to go DOWN??
Or, will they NOT allow people to do this?
If not, are they not admitting that the government is going to put themselves in the position of telling people “NO”?
The government is going to have to deny people treatments!
They can’t have this both ways.
Either I CAN go to the doctor anytime I want for any reason I want, or I can’t.
And if I can’t, then they must admit they (the GOVERNMENT) will say “NO”.
But the Obamites will say, “the insurance companies do that now”.
Ok, fine. They do. That helps keep our costs down.
But, your admission to the government denying treatment on the same grounds as the insurance companies denying treatments, makes your point about the insurance companies denying treatments MOOT!
Polls show that 85-90% of Americans are happy with their health care.
The Obamites say that I can keep my health care if I like it so much.
This begs the question then, if something is “completely broke”, and 90% of it isn’t going to change, then how can you “fix” it if only 10% of it is going to “change”.
And, why does it cost $1 trillion to fix only that 10%?
And, why do we need to run up an additional $1 trillion in debt to fix only that 10%?
If 90% doesn’t change, and we spend another $1 trillion up front, plus an additional $1 trillion in debt over the next 10 years, doesn’t this INCREASE the overall cost of health care?
Seems that the ONLY way to bring the overall cost down is to drag a significant portion of that 90% group down to the same lowest common denominator.
Some of the proponents of health care say that the insurance companies don’t want to pay for anything.
This is a hard sell with seniors.
Seniors have 30, 40, 50+ years of experience having most, if not all, of their claims paid by their insurance companies (minus, of course, any deductibles).
You see, we signed an agreement with the insurance companies. We know what our coverage is, and isn’t. We know what are deductibles are. We know what our premiums are, and how they have gone up (along with costs for everything else in this world).
To say that insurance companies do not cover anything is rediculous to seniors.
We know, first hand, that insurance companies pay out billions and billions and billions each and every year.
We also know that insurance companies do give some pushback at times.
For instance, if a doctor cannot make your rash go away, this doctor may “suggest” a certain drug.
But then tell you that this drug is not really for this purpose, but, he believes it contains certain properties that MIGHT be effective for your condition.
And, this doctor may also tell you that this drug is kind of expensive, and since it is not really for this ailment, your insurance company may not pay for it.
Why won’t they pay for it?
Could it be that the medical community at large does not consider that drug the appropriate treatment for that ailment?
Or a certain procedure an “acceptable” procedure for your ailment?
Or a non-FDA approved drug appropriate?
Or an operation not even allowed in this country to be covered?
Insurance companies seem to ALWAYS pay for treatments, procedures, medicines, and operations that ARE in line with accepted medical practices.
We do, however, think it’s a good idea for our insurance companies to give some “pushback” for non-traditional, or non-historical, treatments or procedures.
This helps keep costs down.
Would ObamaCare allow any doctor to prescribe any medication, or any procedure, or any operation, to any patient, anytime, anywhere (even non-FDA approved medicines or non-approved operations) at any cost?
If so, then how on earth will this reduce the cost of government health care?
If not, isn’t the government putting itself in the position of denying treatments?
They cannot have it both ways!
Either the doctor CAN do anything anytime for any reason, or they can NOT.
And if they can’t, then they must admit that they (the GOVERNMENT) will say “NO”.
The Progressive Socialists point to programs such as the VA (Veteran’s Administration) to show how the government can successfully run a program.
Apprarently, no one in the Obama administration has ever had to RELY on the VA.
In any event, if the VA is one of their shining examples, then why did the Obama administration float out the idea that maaaaaybe wounded warriors should have their own PRIVATE health insurance companies PAY for the treatment for the war wounds?!?!
Their reasoning, to shift some of the costs away from the federal government and onto the private companies!!
Holy Crap!
Makes me wonder, if there were NO private insurance companies, how would the government cut the costs to treat wounded soldiers?
Cut services to them? Naaay, that could never happen. Right?
So much for Obama’s “evil insurance companies” argument.
Another Obamite argument is that insurance companies will NOT cover pre-existing conditions.
Ok, the politically correct response to this is, “that a very disingenuous statement”.
But since I am not a politician, I can call it what it is. A LIE.
Trumpet players can buy insurance for their lips.
Pianists can get insurance for their fingers.
People with pre-existing conditions CAN get insurance.
They will pay a little more, but they CAN get insurance.
Of course, then the Obamite will reply, “yeah, but its so expensive they can’t afford it…..sniff”.
Ok fine, now we’re moving towards the truth.
Yes, they can get it.
Yes, it does cost more. Sometimes a lot more.
My nephew (my sister’s son) was born with a heart defect.
He went from the delivery room to the operating room and had open heart surgery when he was 4 HOURS OLD.
Since then he has been to the Mayo clinic numerous times.
He has had 3 additional open heart surgeries.
He has a pace-maker installed.
And he is not even 30 years old yet.
And yet, somehow, miracle of miracles, my sister is able to get him health insurance!!
It’s a miracle!
Well, not really.
Does she pay a little more? Yes.
But she is damn glad to have it. (do you have any idea what it costs just to go to the Mayo clinic?)
My sister is a single-mom, making nowhere near $100,000 a year.
And yet, even though it costs a bit more, she can afford it.
Would you like to hear how she can afford it?
Because she has her priorities in order!!! NOTHING is more important to her than her son.
She owns her own home, in a nice part of town.
She is not “suffering” because she pays a bit more for his health insurance.
But he DOES have health care.
And he was BORN with a pre-existing condition.
In case you’re wondering, YES, he has had to switch insurance companies.
Switching from under his parents’ coverage to his own when he became an adult.
But that is not even the real issue when you’re talking about “pre-existing” conditions.
The overwelming majority of the people in this group CHOSE not to buy insurance UNTIL something happened. An injury or an illness.
Its like the guy who doesn’t have car insurance…..until he has an accident.
NOW he calls to get insurance, and oh, by the way, he had an accident about an hour ago. And he wants that covered too?
Sorry. If you CHOOSE not to buy insurance (Superman) and then want to jump into the middle with the rest of us WHEN something happens, you are going to have to pay a little more.
I have been paying into insurance for over 20 years. Some people, especially seniors, have been paying insurance companies for 30, 40, 50 or more years.
We have a long history with our insurance companies, and a good record to boot.
Now here comes this guy, hasn’t had insurance for the past 10 years, but now he wants the same rates I have?
No.
Most of the people in this group got into this group from either the “married person who makes over $50,000 a year” group, or the “single person, under 35, with a full-time job” group.
We can seriously reduce the number of people in this “pre-exising conditions” group by reducing the number of people in the 2 major groups that they came from.
All that said, we (all of us) admit that there are still some people, through no fault of their own, wind up in a position where they have such catastrophic costs and then, for reasons not their fault, have to switch insurance companies, and then get hammered (HAMMERED!) with insurance premiums so high they simply cannot afford them– at all.
Can’t we come up with solutions for these people rather than wrecking the whole thing?
Do you really want Barney Frank in charge of your health care?
(He did such a wonderful job with Freddie & Fannie (or was that Freddie’s Fannie?).)
We hear the Progressive Socialists compare how much the average American spends on health care versus the average Canadian, or European, or Japanese.
Is that wrong? I don’t see the point in the comparison.
If we want something, we’re willing to pay for it.
And, sometimes we’re willing to pay a bit more if it means getting the best.
American’s spend more on vacations every year than Canadians, Europeans, or Japanese.
Does Obama have a problem with that too?
If we want something, we get it, and we’re willing to pay for it.
In fact, we know that you only get what you pay for.
We know, if the government makes all this stuff “free”, we can expect to get EXACTLY what we paid for. Nothing.
We hear Progressive Socialists harping about “affordable healthcare”.
Take a good look at these people.
I would bet most, if not all of them are, or have been, on some form of government assistance program(s) for most of their lives.
They don’t want “affordable” healthcare, they want FREE healthcare.
These people see this as just another “entitlement”.
Another “right”.
I would like to see everyone with healthcare, but is it a “right”?
I’ve scoured the U.S. Constitution, but I can find nothing even remotely related to “free healthcare”.
Why is it that in this “land of opportunity” it is only the native-born Americans that have such a hard time finding two nickels to rub together?
I have met people from every continent on earth, except Antarctica, and multiple countries within each continent, and every single one of them is “making it” here in this country.
Yet, the ONLY people I have ever met (demanding) a handout, were born in this country.
The Obamites do not want “affordable” healthcare, they want “FREE” healthcare.
Sooner or later the politicians that cater to this demographic are going to have to do what the politicians in California are going to have to do soon.
And that is, face their constituents and admit they LIED to them.
All this stuff that they said was “FREE”, isn’t “free”, and the people who have been paying for it are tired of paying for it and aren’t going to pay for it anymore!
Obama is your basic Chicago gangster.
Gangsters always want a “piece of the action”.
Americans spend a lot of money on a few key items, and Obama wants a piece of each.
Its all about injecting himself into our revenue streams.
There’s a lot of money flowing between us and our insurance companies (and back to us).
Obama wants to get in the middle of it
We spend a lot of money on energy. Uncle Obama wants in on it.
We spend a lot of money on transportation. Uncle Obama wants in on it.
We spend a lot of money on food. Uncle Obama wants in on it.
You cannot name anything that does not represent a large amount of money flowing from the American people that Obama wants to get involved with.
He’s only interested in getting in the middle of flows of money.
The Progressive Socialists tell us that our healthcare system is broke.
This statement always gets shouted down at townhalls.
Why? Because it is simply not true (aka, another LIE).
Nancy Pelosi let the cat out of the bag (stench out of her diaper) recently when she said that our insurance companies were “loaded with money” and they were “stealing from us”.
Well, she’s partly right. They are loaded with cash.
Some say billions, but I think trillions of our dollars are stored up in the insurance companies.
But they are not stealing it from us.
We write them checks every month and send it to them.
We know what we are getting for our money.
We know how to pay our bills.
But why do the insurance companies have billions/trillions stashed away?
Other than the fact that their economists are waaaay smarter than Tim Geithner?
Because our insurance companies KNOW that 50% of the claims against them are made by senior citizens. And, the baby-boomers are about to become – SENIOR CITIZENS!
All of the record profit years that these insurance companies have posted in the past are about to be counterbalanced by years 10-20 years of record losses as the baby-boomers begin siphoning off all that stored up cash.
OUR insurance companies are NOT broke.
OUR insurance companies know that there is a huge bubble of people getting ready to retire and become senior citizens.
And OUR insurance companies have provided for this event.
The governments’ programs, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, also are going to see a huge bubble (relatively speaking) of retiring baby-boomers smash into their system.
The difference is, the government programs have not provided a single dime for them.
ObamaCare is the Socialist’s way of stealing money from those people who have worked and paid into a system for their own benefit, and redistribute this wealth to people who voted for them.
Like a good socialist, Obama looks at all those billions/trillions stored up in the insurance companies and says to himself, “how can I get my hands on all that money?”
After watching him force the 401k hedge funds and bond-holders, at gun-point, to the end of the line in the Chrysler and GM bankruptcy cases, do you have any doubt that he will steal the money stored up in these insurance companies once he forces us all onto government healthcare?
Why should they be allowed to keep all that money?
After all, they have no customers.
Taking all the money that is in all the insurance companies, and all the doctors and nurses, and equipment, and facilities, etc, that was built by and for the 253 Americans who PAID for it and “evenly” redistributing these across 300 million Americans (yeah, I know, I put the 10-15 million illegals in there), means they plan to use all the same resources to cover 20% more people.
If you barely had enough paint to cover a wall, imagine how thin you would have to paint that wall if now you had to cover an additional 20% of wall with the same amount of paint.
But what about those baby-boomers who are about to retire?
Wasn’t all that money stored up in the insurance companies suppose to be for them?
Didn’t the economists at these insurance companies do the calculations, based on current and future cost projections, to determine that THIS was how much money they needed to have on-hand to care for this group as they become senior citizens?
Well, Team Obama has a solution for this too.
It’s his Final Solution.
Mandatory counseling to discuss “end of life” options for anyone 65 and over.
And, mandatory counseling every 5 years for the rest of their lives.
Basically, once we reach 65 years of age, the government is literally going to nag us to death.
Now the Obamites are trying to argue that even George W. Bush had “end of life” wording in his healthcare bills.
But what they don’t tell you is the difference between the George Bush’s definition of “end of life” and Barack Obama’s.
George Bush’s “end of life” discussions (which, by the way, were NOT mandatory) dealt with such things as Living Wills, Power of Attorneys’, DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate), etc.
Obama’s has all these things as well, plus, something extra.
The “extra” is: counseling people to consider NOT continuing their treatments and let their illness take its toll and end their life sooner.
Counseling sick and dying people that it would be their “patriotic duty” to save the State (well, the bureaucrat would probably sell it as “saving your loved ones more tax dollars) money and stop all treatments.
Most of the money spent on these senior citizens is spent during there last year of life, even their last 6 months.
If the government could somehow convince, or trick, these people into voluntarily ending their lives, they could save the State untold billions of dollars.
After all, these people represent 50% of the claims on insurance companies, and MOST of those claims are in their last year of life.
If the government could knock you off in that last year, we really can reduce health care costs.
Of course, if this system only survives by killing off the really sick and dying, then its not really “health care”.
It should be called “healthy care”.
Only the “healthy” would benefit.
I’m not concerned so much for me.
I would have fun with that bureaucrat every time they came to talk to me about my “options”.
I would ask him if this is like that movie, Soylent Green.
“Can I be like Edward G. Robinson?”
“Can I pick my own movie? Sound track? Lighting? Last meal?”
“Can I have the vanilla-flavored cyanide capsule with a twist of lemon?”
I would seriously mess with that bureaucrat’s mind!
And you would too!
But my mother-in-law is in the early stages of Alzheimers.
How easy would it be for that bureaucrat to trick her into signing on the dotted line?
How many of us know someone with Alzheimers or some form of diminished mental capacity?
How many of us would trust this person in the same room with that bureaucrat for 5 seconds!
He would probably tell her she’s signing a birthday card for her grandson.
She wouldn’t know.
She wouldn’t know that now she has an appointment tomorrow morning with her “life choice” doctor – Dr. Mengele!
Do you think the bureaucrat would tell us she has an appointment?
What’s his motivation?
His job is to save the State money.
That’s what he does.
That’s ALL he does.
If he doesn’t save the State money, then he COSTS the State money.
And if he costs the State money, how on earth does this LOWER healthcare costs?
This bureaucrat must at least save the State enough money to match his own paycheck.
Otherwise, the cost of healthcare must increase, if for no other reason than to pay his paycheck!
He MUST save the State money. That’s his job.
And the only way he can save the State money (as a “counselor”) is to convince, or trick, elderly sick people into ending their lives.
His annual performance reviews will be based on how much money he saves the State.
His next promotion will be based on his body count!
Do you think my mother-in-law would tell us she has an appointment to die?
She doesn’t even know its coming!!
Under ObamaCare we will witness the systematic extermination of our senior citizens.
Someone tell me what the difference is between this administration and Adolf Hitler!
Other than the tan and the mustache.
We should also keep in mind what Obama has told us many times.
That is, if we want to know what he believes in, look at who he surrounds himself with.
Several of his “czars” are on record supporting forced abortions (for various reasons), putting sterilants in drinking water to keep populations “under control”.
And, one of them believes that children under 2 years of age, are NOT humans, and can therefore be TERMINATED without impact on society!
These young children are deemed too young to have developed sufficient social skills to be of any social value!!!
Would this “healthcare” someday morph into a program that terminates unborn, or under 2 year olds, who do not measure up to someone’s standards of a Master Race?
I have tried to read this bill – all 1000+ pages of it.
I get to about page 300 and I just want to blow my brains out.
One Senator says he needs 2 days and 2 lawyers just to understand it.
Another Senator says he has a staff of 5 people breaking it into pieces to be studied.
The two greatest documents ever produced by this country, The Declaration of Independence, and the United States Constitution, were written for the common man to read and understand.
The Founding Fathers were all well-educated men. So well-educated that they understood who would be the readers of these documents; The People.
The people in the 13 colonies were not all that educated.
Mostly, they were not college graduates. None of them attended Harvard!
Most of them hadn’t finished high school. Most didn’t know what “high school” was.
Most were lucky if they made it through the primary grades first through eighth.
And yet, 233 years ago, truly brilliant men set out to write the two greatest documents this country ever produced, and write them in such a way that virtually everyone could read and understand them.
Today we have politicians who they themselves not only do not read the legislation before they vote on them, but then do not even understand what it says when they do read them!
These politicians have burned their bridges with the American people.
These are our “legislators”.
This is what they are suppose to do. Legislate!
This is what they get paid to do. Legislate!
This is why they are in Washington.
This is ALL they do. Legislate!
LEGISLATE!
But they don’t even read the bills.
$787 billion on “stimulus”, that no one read.
$410 billion on “omnibus” that no one read.
And now, they want untold billions upon billions from us for healthcare.
(Obama had said earlier this year that he wanted $645 billion as a “down-payment” on healthcare. Thank God he didn’t get it when he asked for it.)
And now, we have Senators and Congressmen saying they are going to vote FOR healthcare reform EVEN THOUGH IT ISN’T COMPLETELY WRITTEN.
How the hell can that say that?
First, when we point out the stupidity in the House healthcare bill, we get, “well, that’s only one of the bills making its way through the House”.
Ok, which one are YOU voting on Congressman? And why??
Then we hear Senators tell us, “you’re talking about the House bill, we don’t have a Senate bill yet…”.
Well then, Senator, HOW THE HELL CAN YOU VOTE FOR IT?
How can they say they will support something that isn’t written yet?
How can they support something that still has blank pages in it?
The Sleeping Giant is awake.
We want accountability and we want it now.
We told them NO to the Stimulus, they passed it anyway.
We told them NO to the Omnibus, they passed it anyway.
Now we are telling them HELL NO to the Health Scare proposals.
STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY!
Even though I personally can only force myself to get through about 300 pages of the House healthcare, I began to realize something.
This is not about healthcare.
This is about two basic things.
The first one is a simple bank robbery.
Obama sees all that money stored up in our insurance companies and he simply wants to steal it.
Steal it and “spread it around” to his constituents and fellow Democrats.
( we have yet to hear what happened to the $1 billion in the Cash for Clunkers program!
Even the car dealerships are screaming, “Where’s our money?”
Yet, the Obamites claim to be out of money.
I have managed people and budgets in my time. And when I give someone $1000 in July and tell them this should last them until November, I get suspicous when they come back to me in FOUR DAYS and tell me they are out of money.
My first question is, “where are the receipts?”
I want to see where all that money went.
We have asked Obama to “open the books”. Show us where the money went.
He refuses.
But now he has $2 billion more to throw around…for….”cash for clunkers”.
I’m beginning to wonder if the “clunkers” he is referring to aren’t the Democratic incumbents who are about to get their clocks cleaned in the 2010 midterm elections!
How many of those $4500 government rebate checks went to dealerships “sympathetic” to the Obama cause, who will then turn around and make generous (perhaps as much as $4500!!) contributions to the campaigns of those “clunker” incumbents? )
But I’ve digressed.
This whole “health scare” thing is about two basic things.
First, the bank robbery. Stealing all that money that has been set aside for us baby-boomers.
And the second, probably the most important thing of all, is the government intrusion into our homes and lives all in the name of “affordable health care for all”.
Today, right now, the government does not have one inch into our homes to tell us what insurance we must have, how much we need to pay for it, or how little, or any at all.
Not one inch to tell us who our doctors will be, or what treatments we can get, or not get. Or what medicines we can have, or when its time for us to die.
But, under ObamaCare, and it doesn’t matter how much they sugarcoat this, or how much perfume they coat it with, or how much sheep’s clothing they use, under ObamaCare -once they pass any law, ANY legislation, no matter how innocent it sounds, no matter how benevolent it sounds, no matter if it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread, once they pass ANY bill – the government gets its foot in our door.
And THAT is the most un-American aspect of this whole thing.
Its not THIS bill or THAT bill. Its not what’s in this bill, or not in this bill.
We’ve heard Sarah Palin’s comment on the “Death Panels”.
To which the Obamites replied, “there’s no Death Panels in here”.
Only to have them come back with, “we’ve removed the Death Panels from this bill”.
No matter what THE bill is that gets passed, for the first time ever – the federal government gets its foot in your door.
And once they have a bill passed, ANY bill, over the coming months and years Congress will forever amend, change, expand, redo, overdo, rewrite, tweak, ignore, and corrupt these laws until that “foot in the door” becomes an 800 pound gorilla sitting in the middle of our living rooms dictating to us WHO our doctors will be, WHAT coverage we can get and not get, WHICH medicans we can get and not get, and WHEN its time for us to DIE!
We do not want to give the federal government ONE INCH into our homes.
Some people have labeled the healthcare debate as “Obama’s Waterloo”.
I say this is our Alamo!
We will fight this, to the bitter end if necessary.
In 1836 Colonel Travis unsheathed his sword and drew a line on the ground and said, “those prepared to give their lives in freedom’s cause, come over to me!”
Americans are POURING over the line to join us.
