So it’s not too surprising, at least to me, that there were no representatives from the Health Care field, per se (I do not count the abortion industry as a legitimate member of the health care field – sorry, Planned Parenthood). Your doctor, nurses, etc. will have no voice. Catholic hospitals and anyone who refuses to perform abortions on demand, no matter how far along the baby is, will be shut down. Glad I can count on Pelosi and Reid and the AFL-CIO to determine what medical care and procedures I’m allowed to have. NOT!!!

Please stop this train to the complete and total destruction of one of the best things the USA has going for it. I hate to hear we need “health care reform” – nothing wrong with the quality of health care in America. What IS wrong is the trial lawyers who have driven up insurance costs by their ambulance-chasing, unethical and outrageous litigation against doctors. Lets fix the REAL problem, and not destroy our best and brightest health care providers in the process!

For the same reason why he hired a bunch of Ivy League economic theorists (who would have otherwise been unemployed in the private sector) and didn’t hire any economic advisors who had any practical, moneymaking, money managing experience or success.

In fact, here’s some footage of one of Obama’s economic advisors:

He only has to send them into a room for two hours and voila, a health care plan appears for the “magic negro”. Heeee. won. That’s why.

The Roll Call list seems to be incomplete. Here’s a much longer list:

I see on here:

American Cancer Society
American Diabetes Association
American Heart Association
American Medical Association
Blue Cross Blue Shield Association
Catholic Health Association

…and assorted leftist groups.

So much for “open debate” and hearing “different points of view” and leaving “all options on the table.” The only people on that list are ones who already agree with Obama and his policies, or they expect a generous taxpayer handout. It’s really just a more formal approach to getting a bunch of lobbyists all asking for the same thing. The members of Congress don’t count since they will get to “debate” the bill just as much anyway.

Why should we be surprised not a single group on that long list stands up for protecting human life! But there appear to be plenty of abortion activist groups there. And we wouldn’t want to leave out La Raza. Heaven forbid the illegals don’t get free on-demand access.

This thing reads like a who’s who of the most powerful in the leftist establishment. I suspect “Big Pharma” fit$ in there too. I guess Jack Kevorkian, Tiller the Killer, and NARAL couldn’t make it.

I personally don’t consider the AMA, ANA, or other “establishments” to be trustworthy either and would almost just as soon consult with a tribal healer from the Amazon.

Then we get this gem:

Julia Denton is a 52-year old Republican from Yorktown, Virginia. Her husband is an active duty Air Force dentist with more than 23 years service. Julia currently devotes her time to caretaking and advocacy on behalf of her son Matthew, who was born with a rare genetic disorder resulting in multiple disabilities. Although Julia was a volunteer for the McCain/Palin campaign during the general election, she is now committed to the Obama health plan.

I suspect she is among those who has yet to get over the lightheadedness from the inauguration. I don’t think she realizes what Matthew is in for under an “Obama health plan.”
