Obama and many of his left wing followers are looking to salvage their health care plan and ram it through before the Summer recess. They need to pass it now or people will have a lot of time to dig in and see how truly flawed it is. The more people know, the more they oppose and Obama cannot have this.
The bill they are working on does allow you to keep the coverage you have (assuming that employers who provide will not cancel) but you cannot change. There is a provision that specifically forbids people from purchasing insurance on their own. The fewer choices people see the more they will oppose.
Obama and the Dems are meeting resistance from so called moderate or “Blue Dog” Democrats. These are the ones who pretend to be moderate because they come from moderate or conservative regions of the country and they do not want to be voted out of office. What they normally do is oppose something and then get a concession (some small bone) and then they claim to have fought and won so they can rally folks at home to vote for them. They want the same things other Democrats want but they have to pretend more than usual to be moderate. Remember, if Democrats actually campaigned on their true beliefs they would not win office. No one would have voted for Obama if he had lain out all these plans on the trail. He lied to get elected.
We are now bombarded with lies. Pelosi says that they have the backing of the American People. That is untrue. Most people agree we need reform but that government is not the answer, despite the few flawed polls that came out before this monstrosity was unveiled. There are tax increases, there is a denial of freedom of choice, and there is the government telling people how they will conduct the business of their OWN health care.
Only lemmings like to be led around but then again there are many lemmings on the left who need government to tell them when to go to the bathroom. They need to be provided for because they are not man or woman enough to provide for themselves. Any person who thinks it is government’s job to provide for people or who live off the government (which is really living off other taxpayers) is not a total person. They are the three fifths person that the Constitution discussed. They are NOT whole people. THis means people who have the means to work and to take care of themselves. Of course there are small minority populations in any society that need special care (though families should provide it). We already have programs to assist these kinds of people.
Yes, health care coverage needs to be looked at because over regulation and state mandates have allowed monopolies. We need an OPEN market where people can shop around. More companies providing more choices leads to lower prices and better competition. Government involvement leads to rules forcing compliance on your personal choices, rules forbidding you to choose, and eventual destruction of private insurance companies.
The eventual outcome is that states lose their control (which is monopolistic anyway and should include competition) and the feds take over. What happens when states start telling the feds that the government plan must meet state standards and that state taxes and fees need to be paid? What happens when state insurance commissioners claim they are in charge and order the feds around?
We are certain to see a violation of the Tenth Amendment (more so than we see everyday).
Government does not belong in private business and it does not belong providing health care insurance to people. Our Constitution does not provide for this so called “right” and we cannot allow the feds to take over more control of our lives.
People must fight now to stop this. Let your members of Congress know you will vote for their opponent in the next election if they vote yes on this (or cap and trade) and refuse to donate to anyone.
We need to be tough because Chicago thug Obama and hiz posse is working hard to screw you before you know it. They are sending out the thugs to break legs and hide bodies. Do not let them roll over you. They work for us, not the other way around.
Fire them!
