Live or Die? Not your decision?!

President Obama states he will pass healthcare reform in 2010. He said that if you like your insurance, then keep it. But the research shows that is not the case. If there is nationalized health care, the private insurance companies will no longer exists due to being squeezed out. You will be left to take the national insurance coverage where you will pay more and get less. The major insurance companies will be run out of business.

Furthermore, I have stated before that nationalized healthcare (socialized medicine) will become like a health star chamber where doctors and political "yes" men will decide who lives and dies. If you are too old or have a terminal disease, it will be more cost effective to let you die. They are already talking about it on the news. A statement made, "My grandmother needs a hip replacement and she's has terminal cancer, does she get the surgery?" The implied answer is, "No" because they go on to talk about expensive treatment being given to people who are too old or have lost their usefulness to society. (sound familiar?) Doctors at the Mayo clinic said, "We are just prolonging their death." Yes, it is a brave new world.

1.6 trillion dollars will get us all medical insurance with little choice, less coverage, simple solutions to complex treatment, waiting list for procedures, denial of treatment based on probabilities or age and one huge sure-fired increase in our taxes. Now there is reform! Healthcare reform is being perpetrated by perpetuated by ill-informed media and furthered by many misguided economists. Today they are reporting $3.5 trillion for this wonderful health plan.

"Now is the time for all who value control of their own health decisions, access to highly trained subspecialty doctors of their own choosing, and continued advances in safer, more effective treatments to recognize what they are about to lose. The impending shift of power from patients and their doctors to government bureaucrats under the guise of reducing costs may be the greatest Trojan horse in American history. This would mark the end of health care as we knew it. " By Scott W. Atlas, MD

Discussions about healthcare reform are one-sided and those who oppose it are not allowed a say at any official discussion. In the TV media, though ABC said it would be fair and balanced, refused to allow anyone who opposes to be represented nor did they allow advertising from the opposition.

"And the President, as always, hopes that most Americans will do nothing more than skim the surface. That way he can continue to use his amazing rhetorical skill to continue to hoodwink the public into accepting completely irrational balderdash." Anthony G Martin, columnist, Columbia Conservator Examiner

The hype is that if the government had a low-cost insurance plan that competed against the private insurance companies, then people would have a choice. What it really means is this scenario: Say that clothing was too expensive and the govt. decided that we needed to form a nationalize clothing company to give the people low-cost clothes. It would provide clothing at half the price. Where do you think a person would buy their clothing? Now, everyone is lured to buy the govt clothes so Sears, JCPennies and Walmart are run out of business so that the only place you can buy clothes is with the govt. company. The government would immediately corner the market. The govt will have all the money, the power, and the resources to completely bury private corporations. Death to free enterprise! Death to real choices. You get what the company provides. They decide if you can buy crop pants or jeans! What if they decided that everyone should only wear polyester! OMG!

"And this is precisely why Obama's critics are 100% correct when they say that his plan to start a government insurance corporation that will 'compete with private insurers' will drive those private insurers out of business in short order. The plan is designed to do exactly that. And what's left will be nothing but the government's corporation, forcing all Americans into a centralized, government-controlled 'single-payer' health plan modeled after European styled socialism." Anthony G Martin said.

This reform is a huge trojan horse that will lure people in with promises of low-cost quality care, while inside the belly of the horse sits all the power-hungry democrates waiting to take control of the lives of the people. (time 7:10am)
