Stop Government Health Care Take Over

Ranked #11,429 in Culture & Society, #225,701 overall | Donates to Soldiers Angels

THIS IS GOING TO HURT...

Respect The Right Of Free Individuals To Make Personal Health Care Decisions!

We must, Democrats and Republicans alike, let our "leaders" know that this plan is unacceptable. There has to be a better way than a government takeover! If the Government takes over, it will be one of the most colossal blunders in the history of this Nation!

6 Reasons Obama-Care Is Bad Medicine

by Chuck Norris

retweet



No one denies that in an affluent country such as our own, it borders on tragic that millions do not have some form of health care. I feel for those Americans; I really do. I agree that health care reform is needed badly in America, but I don't believe the bill of goods called "universal health care" that is being pitched presently by our president contains the solution. In fact, I believe it is bad medicine for America.

-First, universal health care unwisely is being rushed.

Should sweeping health care reform be enacted in a world-record time? Just like the stimulus packages and bogus bailout baloney, Obama-care is being shoved downed America's throat (without explanation) and propelled like a ramrod through Congress (without examination). I call it the Obama blitzkrieg: create crisis; crunch numbers; and cram legislation. The fact is the president continues to sell the program, but there is still no single plan he or Congress is ready to sell.

-Second, universal health care clearly would drive our country deeper into debt, which is being progressively purchased by foreign powers without any concern by Washington to stop it.

Obama said in his nationally televised news conference, "Health care reform is not going to add to that deficit; it's designed to lower it." How can he say that when they haven't even settled on a single health care plan? When he doesn't know the far-reaching implications of offering it in every community across the nation?

The president is struggling to base his rhetoric in fiscal reality. Even according to the Congressional Budget Office, the Senate version of the health care legislation "would result in a net increase in federal deficits of about $1.0 trillion for fiscal years 2010 through 2019." Is that what you call good fiscal responsibility within an economy and government that already is bordering on bankruptcy?

-Third, universal health care would impersonalize health care and ration medical services.

Government takeover of health care also would allow Washington to use "comparative effectiveness research" to dictate to doctors which treatments they should prescribe and how much they should cost. That in turn would lead to rationing of health care services.

Canada and Europe already have proved that national health care translates into national nightmares, with a plethora of new government regulations and new systems of rationing medical attention. Under government-run services, personal health care would transform into more impersonal harassment. More government means more menacing minutiae running our lives.

-Fourth, universal health care ultimately would limit the competitive market of health care.

And what about for the taxpayers who would pay for the program? Would having universal health care encourage their future productivity? Further taxing members of the upper class (which would mean further penalizing their productivity) certainly would not provide incentive for Americans chasing the American dream.
And their added taxes obviously would trickle down to consumers, as well. Or do we just assume they would pay 47 million Americans' universal health care out of their surpluses?

You don't create competitive markets by creating monopolies, yet that is exactly what government-run universal health care would prevent: competition. If government should do anything, it should crack down on medical insurance monopolies. If government wants to regulate one more thing, it would be better to regulate the medical insurance companies, not the American people.

-Fifth, universal health care ultimately would transform legislators into quasi health care practitioners.

With government-sanctioned universal health care, legislators would become quasi medical practitioners because they would lead and guide the government-controlled medical boards, personnel and policies that would oversee the program. That would include abortive and end-of-life counsel and services. Federal politicians would rely upon relatively few chief physicians (appointed mostly by them), who in turn would oversee and implement the medical policies and procedures that they felt were best for the country.

-Sixth, universal health care would increase big government, and America would continue on the slippery slope toward socialism.

The nanny state is not our solution to better health. Our government already provides two medical coverage programs: Medicare (for senior citizens) and Medicaid (for low-income citizens). The president mentioned in his speech last week that those two programs are the greatest contributors to our skyrocketing deficit. So why not reform, improve and enhance those programs rather than create a third (or fourth or fifth) government medical bureaucracy called "universal health care"?

What is needed in Washington is a truly bipartisan group that is allowed an ample amount of time to work on a compromise health care program that wouldn't raise taxes (for anyone), regulate personal medical choices or ration health care.

Why wait for Washington? Go to PatientsUnitedNow.com to learn more about how you and your local community can reform health care and keep your options for doctors and medical care. And mostly, go to the Web site of Dr. Betsy McCaughey at DefendYourHealthCare.us. She is a health policy expert and former lieutenant governor of New York and actually has read the entire Senate bill on universal health care. She is disclosing many hidden details within it that are not being discussed with the American public.

this is sickening! when will the demazombiecrats wake up and realize they have made a huge mistake in electing this administration. This healthcare takeover is just the beginning of a mad dash of takeovers between now and November. Its just sickening and discouraging.

This is absolutely one of the craziest things ever. How in the *#@? can the government MAKE you have health insurance? I am afraid I fell asleep and woke up in a communist country.

johnhancock says:

Charity an important part of health care is missing today. In its place we have government who takes from one in the name of charity but really uses the funds to build a bigger bureaucracy. We had good reasonable health care not long ago before Medicare and legalized abortion (our eliminator of our youth). We are now a dieing society. A dieing society has very little hope until it turns things around.

johnfn says:

I can't say I care for the administration at this point...

AnnaleeBlysse says:

For those of you that believe the goverenment is only trying to provide another choice and provide more options and more freedom ... time to wake up. What medical program has the government succeeded with yet? I'd hazard a guess the only reason AARP wants these changes is because they KNOW the truth going in that the proposed Obamacare plans will only increase the number of people on government plans that aren't pleased with their coverage and will pay AARP for gap coverage! If you disagree with that, you haven't been paying attention to the medical coverage that out country has been providing for elderly, poor, Native Americans, veterans, and disabled people.

Ingal Perry says:

Insidious encroachment of government into our private lives and the takeover of our freedoms is exactly what Reagan was warning against and he was ABSOLUTELY right on. We appear to be a nation of sheep--being lulled into a trance by smooth promises. There's no such thing as a "big brother". We each are responsible for our own lives and the lives we can help directly. Bigger government is NOT the answer. I not only want the federal government to stay out of my healthcare....I want them to stay out of the rest of my life as well. Local government, my community, my state--these are all beneficial. The federal government needs to stay in the role of a coordinator of our military defense and those powers given to it by the states. Yes....I am an AMERICAN and a REPUBLICAN, and proud to be both.

lynn says:

please do not let gov. run my health care it seems to me they have been taking everything all my 57 years my family was all born usa and now that has become bad .am i alone????????????????????????????????????

blue22d says:

This is bigger than health care. It is about changing our country from a Republic to a totally run Government-Socialistic country. It is taking away individual rights by trying to make all equal. It is one thing to give to and help the poor or disadvantage but not at the cost of individual freedoms. It isn't healthy for the nation and it isn't constitutional. As a country we can't continue down this path of destruction. Thanks for this important lens.

AmericanCitizen says:

All these people that support this health care plan will be very disappointed once they realize their quality of care will decrease.

JanaMurray says:

This hostile takeover will damage our system to a degree that will endanger our most senior citizens and youngest citizens and illegals, through rationing. Margo_Arrowsmith, I recommend that you dig much deeper and research the philosophy of Ezekiel Emmanuel and the rest of the Chicago style thugs that the Obama administration has placed into his cabinet. Haven't you heard, they are Communists.. Communism= Rationing and Unsustainable Taxes, Capitalism= Quality Healthcare and Freedom

elmikeo says:

I wish we could test it out first and see if it will work or not. haha

pyle_mountain says:

It should be called health care control, because there isn't any reform in the bill. Another step toward the government having more control over our lives.

KimGiancaterino says:

Chuck Norris is right. The proposed "reform" doesn't address the issues that are forcing high costs, namely sky-high malpractice insurance rates, tort lawyers and huge legal settlements. Also, we simply cannot afford to cover the millions of people who do not financially contribute to the system. It isn't fair and obviously does not work in the long run. When health care is perceived as "free," people will flock to hospitals and doctors' offices. Good luck getting an appointment if that happens.

Rhonda_Holland says:

"Maggie" needs to read the bill -- and the Constitution, the federal government has no authority to take over health care!

kathytarochione says:

This is unbelievable isn't it.

Rachel says:

This $1.5 trillion disaster would bankrupt the USA without "reforming health care." I've read the bill. It would discriminate against seniors (are you over 59?) and the infirm, denying them care even when they are willing to pay for it themselves, in order to pay for aliens. La Raza loves it, because it leaves the door wide open to full care for illegal immigrants - paid for by taxes on the 1/2 of the populace who works and pays taxes, and by ALL through increased costs of goods and services. (Businesses have to pass their new tax burdens along to us.) Exploding costs to employers will result in more unemployment. The list of severe economic and health damage goes on and on, with loss of your most basic freedom. The only thing "gained" is government control of your very life, clerks making your care and life-and-death decisions, more than 50 new/expanded government bureaucracies, more red tape, delays in care (as in UK and Canada, so you might die waiting as many have)... This is pure evil!

naturalrichard says:

Socialized medicine will open the floodgates. People will start going to the doctor that normally would not go. This will put a hugh load on the system that will increase costs and raise our taxes.

Bart says:

Arrogance isn't the word, it is downright evil what they are trying to do. Between euthanasia and abortion there will be hardly anyone left that is American in 20years. This is controlled eugenics, they are wanting to just get rid of as many people as possible in the guise of acceptable "health insurance reform". This is disgusting!!

JanaMurray says:

The arrogance of this administration is no shock to me. I saw this coming a long time ago...

No way, Monkeybrain!

DenverAcupuncture says:

People need health care that is affordable. Let's find a way

Margo_Arrowsmith says:

Ronald Reagan was talking about Medicare. Thank god he was didn't win that pitch. My Dad would have died years ago without it.

Maggie says:

Who except the protesters are talking about government takeover? It is my understanding that the government would supply yet another choice that would create even more freedom.

FINALLY....THE $64,000 QUESTION WAS ASKED

Statement of Support for Litigation to Stop ObamaCare

ON "ABC-TV" (BETTER KNOWN AS THE ALL BARRACK CHANNEL) DURING THE "NETWORK SPECIAL ON HEALTH CARE" OBAMA WAS ASKED:

"MR. PRESIDENT WILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GIVE UP YOUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE PROGRAM AND JOIN THE NEW 'UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM' THAT THE REST OF US WILL BE ON ????".....

(BET YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER)...

THERE WAS A STONY SILENCE AS OBAMA IGNORED THE QUESTION AND CHOSE NOT TO ANSWER IT!!!...

IN ADDITION, A NUMBER OF SENATORS WERE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION AND THERE RESPONSE WAS..."WE WILL THINK ABOUT IT."

AND THEY DID. IT WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY ON THE NEWS THAT THE "KENNEDY HEALTH CARE BILL" WAS WRITTEN INTO THE NEW HEALTH CARE REFORM INITIATIVE ENSURING THAT CONGRESS WILL BE 100% EXEMPT!

SO, THIS GREAT NEW HEALTH CARE PLAN THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU AND ME... IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR OBAMA, HIS FAMILY OR CONGRESS...??

WE (THE AMERICAN PUBLIC) NEED TO STOP THIS PROPOSED DEBACLE ASAP !!!!... THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG !!!!!

PERSONALLY, I CAN ONLY ACCEPT A UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL THAT EXTENDS TO EVERYONE... NOT JUST US LOWLY CITIZENS... WHILE THE WASHINGTON "ELITE" KEEP RIGHT ON WITH THEIR GOLD-PLATED HEALTH CARE COVERAGES.
