The Stench of Truth (300).mp4 What is being planned is not a “government takeover of health care”. What is on the table is a mandate to people who don’t have jobs to buy insurance they may not need or want in order to prop up private insurance companies. This is a bailout of the PRIVATE insurance sector. Paid for by you. It is also a systematic destruction of the social safety net of Medicare, and soon that will be followed by Social Security. Far from socialism or socialized medicine my friends. This is the beginning of putting us all at the mercy of rapacious corporations in every area and the so-called “free market”. Just want to set the record straight on this point.

The morning after the House passed the health care reform bill 220-215, CNN interviews one of the Congressmen who voted for the bill, Anh “Joseph” Cao from Louisiana – the only Republican to vote “yes” for the bill. Cao claims it was “a decision of conscience… to support the health care reform bill… it was the right decision for the people of my district.”

During a press conference at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Nancy Pelosi skirted a surprise question, twice. The questions pertained to 5-year jail terms and $250,000 fines for those refusing to buy health insurance under her plan. However, she did say her plan was “fair”.

Choice??? According to HR 3962, buy insurance or go to jail. Such “choice” is standard under dictatorships, is this tyranny the “change” that voters hoped for? Of course not.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, was in Seattle on Monday, November 9, 2009 where she joined Democratic Reps. Jay Inslee, Jim McDermott and Norman Dicks in a tour of Swedish Medical Center. Pelosi’s visit came less than 48 hours after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the massive and short-sighted “Affordable Health Care for America Act” bill by a very narrow margin, 220-215. Pelosi needed at least 218 votes for passage.

The closed door meetings and their partisan Democrat scheme worked despite the obvious will of the People as a Rasmussen poll found that 57% Americans opposed while only 41% approved government run health care. By all accounts, this bill should have died. However, the Stupak amendment revived it at the promise of removing funding for abortions, which we all know can be reversed later on. The Stupak amendment to HR 3962 was proposed and approved in the House of Representatives on November 7, 2009. Here are more details about the amendment:

Pelosi was recently asked another question that she could not answer. She was asked where in the Constitution does it give government the right to run health care. Her snarky answer was simply; are you serious, are you serious? Yes, we patriots are serious; just ask us what we think of more government intrusion in our lives, this being an egregious one that will snatch 1/6th of the US economy from the private sector and in total making government in charge of about half of the entire economy. The more this reckless government strays away from the guidelines set by our Founding Fathers, the less freedom we are left with.

Liberty will die and so will patients under this sort of health care reform. Like in Canada and much of socialist Europe, patients needlessly die waiting weeks or months for life saving surgeries. And in our case, Washington bureaucrats will make decisions for you and your doctor based on cost effective procedures. That is where rationing and cost savings will offset the massive fraud, waste and abuse that government is infamous for. It is a good thing that Congress, with their 240 millionaires, will be spared the rationed care they impose of the American public.

This legislation must be stopped at all expense, as the Senate will soon vote on it. Our Liberty and quality of health care depends on our success in stopping this reckless government and their radical and destructive agenda. Their narrow-minded approach to destroying the best health care on Earth only to reform it is based on deceptive tactics and exploitation of the American people. It must be done NOW, however not implemented until 2013. Therefore, the negative fallout will not play a role in possibly reelecting our leftist president.

*The same day that Pelosi ducked the jail question, President Obama also danced around a similar question posed by White House press staff Jake Tapper. Mr. Tapper also had to ask the question twice and met with a condescending, “I’m not sure that’s the biggest question they’re asking right now”. The audio portion of the Obama interview follows the Pelosi press conference.

Please call, email, or visit your Senator and urge them to vote NO, before its too late! Once implemented this government plan, like all other entitlement programs, is permanent and will cost at least 3x the projections, totaling over $3 Trillion…of deficit spending!
Furthermore, they talk about “subsidies” and they really mean redistribution of wealth. Karl Marx said, “To each according to his need, from each according to his ability”. The have some “moral” obligation to steal from those who are productive and distribute to those who don’t produce much if any to society. This is not government’s role, they think it’s charity, but last time I checked charity was to be given, not taken by a rule by fear government with a “mandate”. This health care “debate” is not about health or care, it’s about CONTROL.

Also, this press conference was not announced publicly. And the protest against Pelosi-care was organized with only 3-hours advance notice. The speaker obviously didn’t want to draw hundreds or thousands to protest her visit.

During a primetime news conference, mostly revolving around President Obama’s health care reform bill, David Alexander Williams asks him what most Americans want to know: “Why the rush?”

He says because there is progress in the medical industry, “the stars are aligned” to make it happen, but he wants to “get it right”.

“I won’t sign a bill that I don’t think will work.”

Furthermore, they talk about “subsidies” and they really mean redistribution of wealth, Karl Marx style. Providing health care is unconstitutional, therefore its not the role of government in a free and civil society.
Contrary to pro health care talking points; not everyone drives a car and buying auto insurance IS still an option, health insurance should be too; its called individual freedom and (real) choice. According to our Constitution, which protects Liberty, government shall be limited, not expanded and intrusive into every facet of our lives. This health care “debate” is not really about health nor care, it’s about CONTROL.

In part 2 of 3 of Chris Wallace’s interview with Rush Limbaugh, he asked Rush about Healthcare Reform. Rush said that it’s an attempt by the government to steal 1/6 of the private sector economy and take control. Once they get control of healthcare, they will be able to make more decisions about how we run our lives.

Rush does not think individual mandates, forcing Americans to purchase health insurance, is constitutional.

Wallace also asks Rush about the success of Glenn Beck.

Rush also discussed his efforts to buy an NFL franchise, the St. Louis Rams, and how the Obama campaign played a role.

Wallace also asked him about his statement that going to drug rehab was the best thing that ever happened to him.
