Or, clicky linky

The lies that the Democrat party and their henchmen spew, and the people that are willing to believe them. Basic facts about communist healthcare prove that a tiny percentage of people that are enrolled in it are happy with it and even fewer are getting adequate care. Ask anyone that participates in a nationalized program (excepting the French and Red Chinese, of course) and they’ll tell you that they hate it and that they wish their healthcare was more like ours. You can’t deny that the US system as it stands takes care of everyone that WANTS care. Yes, our system doesn’t take into account people that don’t care about taking care of their futures- why should that be a problem for the vast majority of Right thinking people that plan properly? But the stats are twisted and the guilt trip is delivered and suddenly a whole range of nefarious plans are on the table, from death panels and mandatory euthanasia (or as we civilized people call it, Murder), public funding of abortion, denial of care to victims of breast cancer and the like, mandatory circumcision (!!!) and denial of care to anyone who votes Republican. It’s sickening!

Lame Duck anyone?

It seems that the system is breaking down in Australia as they find out just how much blood they can get from a turnip. In this case the turnips are overworked doctors.

Most of the doctors I know are pretty well off.
They will not slash their wrists on the alter of ObamaCare.

Most of them will keep taking private insurance until that runs out and then they will treat cash only patients once the government takes over.

Unless the government has plans to get into the business of awarding doctors licenses based upon the fact they take ObamaCare or not is
economic fascism. When we get to that level then doctors will band
together and go on strike every few months until ObamaCare is abolished. If it is implemented I wonder what the death rate will be in the few years we flirt with socialized healthcare?

My wife stopped me this morning, she is a small business owner and suffering like the rest, and said, “What is going on with the penalties for healthcare and our insurance. I can’t afford any more taxes or penalties.” I told her that everything is up in the air right now. (Thanks to everyone here and elsewhere.) But there is a drive to penalize individuals and businesses that have excellent policies. She said, “Y’know my sister and her kids are under TRICARE (military) as are my dad and mom. They wait weeks and months before they can see a doctor or a specialist. The kids (both are special needs) have to wait to see doctors, or my sister spends hours and hours on the phone with some clerk somewhere trying to find out how to qualify them for treatment. I can just call my doctor and I’m in the next day.”

She’s right, we have Blue Cross and Blue Shield, I pay a good deal of money a month to have access to a good plan and good coverage for her and the kids. She was sick last year and our doctor was able to find out rather quickly she was suffering from anemia. She was run through a number of tests within a week or so without any complaint from my insurance.

My sister in law has something wrong with her also. What we don’t know because she can’t get into a specialist or get the recommended tests done without a long wait. That’s no lie. She can hardly eat and has lost over twenty pounds. Still she waits. My father in law had his gall bladder literally explode a week after a TRICARE recommended doctor did the tests and said it was fine.

My father goes to the VA, he is subjected to all the rationing the government claims it doesn’t do. Trust me, the doctors are good people, but they have the same limits put on them that we see elsewhere.

So, if there are so many problems that need to be fixed in the current system why try to expand it? Can’t be for the good of you and me. No. We all know what this is about. Power, control, theft, and corruption.

When I was a police detective I would take note of a certain really bad guy, somebody that just was tearing up the city. When the other officers would see me focus on that one individual I would tell them, “He’s got to go.” By this I meant the city simply couldn’t tolerate his antics any longer and the power of the law was going to exercised fully. We would pull out all the stops; traffic stops, searches, surveillance- both overt and covert, talking to his friends, talking to his friend’s parents to warn them who their kid was hanging with. We would scorch his earth. We gave no quarter and took none.

Usually within a short time the bad guy either went to jail on a good case, or just fled the jurisdiction. Either way, the citizens won.

I think we should take the same approach with these radicals we are dealing with. They are a dangerous bunch who will screw up this nation beyond fixing if we let them. So, let’s use every tool, every technique, and every resource we have to, as Mark Walberg said so well, “burn their playhouse down.”

If we don’t. If we try to be nice, or play by the rules they like to foist upon us, but don’t follow themselves, we risk the destruction of the country as we know it, and the realization our children may be trapped in a system where their dreams will be limited by class and access.

I, for one, don’t intend that to happen. Vote, educate, protest, support good candidates, inform your family and friends, demand answers and do the right thing. Most of all, stay focused. Stay angry. Our kids depend on it.

Governor Sarah Palin – Written Testimony Submitted to the New York State Senate Aging Committee

http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=130383728434

I was watching John Conyers and Maxine Waters on MSNBC tonight explain why they would not vote for health reform without a public option.

Then it came to me why they favor the single payer option. Because they — or their constituents — wont be paying for it.

What the ‘single payer’ system means to them is that there will be only a single payer. The government. Giving them healthcare.

To them it doesnt matter if rationing comes. It doesnt matter if all the bill paying patients have a tougher time getting appointments or scheduling diagnostic tests.

Because they havent lost anything. They get healthcare, albeit worse care than what’s generally available now, but they don’t care. They get something for nothing.

That it stresses an already pressed national balance sheet doesnt matter. They dont pay these bills and dont ever expect to. They are amongst the 60 percent or so of Americans who don’t or dont expect to pay any income taxes at all.

That an increase in marginal tax rates may even cause a reduction in tax revenues doesnt phase them. They werent going to pay for anything anyway.

What Obama Says vs. What He Does

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/09/08/what_obama_says_vs_what_he_does.html

One plain fact should outweigh all the words of Barack Obama and all the impressive trappings of the setting in which he says them: He tried to rush Congress into passing a massive government takeover of the nation’s medical care before the August recess– for a program that would not take effect until 2013!

Whatever President Obama is, he is not stupid. If the urgency to pass the medical care legislation was to deal with a problem immediately, then why postpone the date when the legislation goes into effect for years– more specifically, until the year after the next Presidential election?

If this is such an urgently needed program, why wait for years to put it into effect? And if the public is going to benefit from this, why not let them experience those benefits before the next Presidential election?

If it is not urgent that the legislation goes into effect immediately, then why don’t we have time to go through the normal process of holding Congressional hearings on the pros and cons, accompanied by public discussions of its innumerable provisions? What sense does it make to “hurry up and wait” on something that is literally a matter of life and death?

If we do not believe that the President is stupid, then what do we believe? The only reasonable alternative seems to be that he wanted to get this massive government takeover of medical care passed into law before the public understood what was in it.

Moreover, he wanted to get re-elected in 2012 before the public experienced what its actual consequences would be.

Unfortunately, this way of doing things is all too typical of the way this administration has acted on a wide range of issues.

Health Care Struggles

In many countries, health care is a constitutional right, but not in the United States. Unionized workers are forced to negotiate lower wages to pay for their health benefits. Unorganized workers are left with little or no real access to health care, which forces them to pay for their health services out-of-pocket often beyond their means. Over 45 million people are in that position of having to make choices among critical needs such as medicines, hospital appointments, food, education, and housing. Another 40 million have woeful health insurance benefits.

In the United States health care is a big business commodity with a big price tag, comprising 14% of the US GNP. Removing profit from the Wall Street-controlled health industry can fully fund a system that puts health before profit.

Communists support a health care system that is comprehensive and free with guaranteed access to quality care whenever needed. But a health care system is more than just medical care. Health care also means prevention of occupational and community environmental hazards and infectious conditions that threaten people’s health. In addition, the lack of affordable housing has become a major public health problem. A comprehensive health care system means that all health workers in hospitals and community clinics must reflect the populations they are serving—we support the aggressive application of affirmative action programs for equal access to medical, nursing, and other professional training and education programs.

Organized labor, while protecting its own hard-won benefits, is beginning to see the need and necessity to unite with other national and community-based organizations in the fight for a national health system that provides quality, guaranteed health benefits for everyone.

I think the Brits only hope, and ours too if we get saddled with this vile monstrosity, is to bring it to its knees and smash it. I know the NHS is badly broken but it’s obviously not broken enough. Time to read up on the Cloward-Piven strategy and use it.

Pelosi and Reid are calculating that their position in a newly fashioned ‘Global Order’ (arrogantly above you and me) won’t bother them-they are foolishly insulated. They’ve erroneously ascended to a position in which case would manipulate lives, a position in which case the few rule many.

I’m a huge believer in my states motto-Virginia.

What transgressions are occurring to is essentially a trampling upon our very Soul as a Nation. We must use wise judgment, and fight as hard as we can.

“Death to tyrants”.

I ran across this as I was surfing. Read the article. Notice how when given the opportunity, our medical, for profit mind you, professionals jumped at the opportunity to learn how to not make mistakes and strive to be better at what they do.

This mother’s one act of selfishness opened the door. But it was the desire to get it right that made thousands walk through.

Something I will bet does not happen in socialized care, where the goal is not saving lives as much as it is saving money.

This difference alone should silence the left, make them tuck their tails between their legs in shame and go back under whatever rock they came out from.

But it isn’t about compassion, or care, or saving lives. It is about power. There is a special place in hell for all that chose their ambitions over the lives of their fellow man.

In Washington State, we recently enacted physician assisted suicide. Seniors don’t have to sit around in a wheelchair waiting for rationed operations that will never happen. Besides, under ObamaCare, won’t it be the duty of the elderly, and infirm, to step aside, and make way for the younger, healthier citizens. After all, they’re just draining resources.

Why don’t you just admit you’ wish to protect the private insurance companies. I’m insulted that my deductions for Blue Cross Blue Shield increase by an average of 15 percent a year while my coverage declines. I’m insulted that private insurance companies utilize part of Americans’ premiums to hire lobbyists and provide campaign contributions to politicians on both sides of the aisle.

Your fear stories are unwarranted and “uninvited.” You worry about “socialism” — by the way, most socialist countries are economically capitalist and have democracies. Wrecking the Constitution? Messrs. Bush and Cheney did a good job of that for eight years!

My brother just got an angiogram today. He has no insurance and probably has a negative net worth. He doesn’t have any connections. He was given a private room in a well known well regarded heart institute. He got the best care immediately. He’ll be out tomorrow after being in hospital a few days. He got the scare of his life to shape up and follow a healthy heart plan (diet, excercise, quit smoking, medication) for a decent prognosis. He has no insurance and probably no means to pay what I might guess would be a $30-$40,000 bill. He got the best care immediately today in our “broken” system.
