Get Busy!
July 28, 2009
This is a job you can all perform. It is of the utmost IMPORTANCE! We've simply got to stop the health care bill. The thousands of readers of my stuff can actually help to do this. I beg you to participate! PLEASE DO SO! Here's how:
Go to
www.house.gov/tanner/blue.htm and print it. This is the list of the 51 "Blue Dog Democrats." 'Blue Dog' Democrats are Democrats who have a conservative lean, and if they all voted against Obama's health bill, this outrageous, sickening, pure socialism bill, would be defeated and America's health system possibly saved. It's plain that the blue doggers are highly suspicious or even embarrassed at Obama, and won't hesitate to vote against him to keep their constituents happy. Most of them are in conservative districts, so they need to keep us happy. Here's what the health care bill will 'provide' in only half of it's 1017 pages:
Page 22 mandates the government will audit all self insured employers.
Page 30 says there will be a government committee which will decide which treatments you get. Example: If you're over a certain age, you won't get heart or other operations, because you're too near death, if you can imagine such a thing. That's the way it works in Britain and Canada. Canadians burn up the roads coming here to save their lives. If this abortion is made law, where will they go?
Page 29 lines 4 -16, actually rations health care.
Page 42 says that the "Health Choices Commissioner," will choose what benefits you get.
Page 50 says that health care will be provided to ALL non-US Citizens, legal or otherwise.
Page 58, 195 says that the government will have access to all your finances and records, and a National Health ID card will be issued.
Page 59 says that government will have access to your bank accounts for electronic funds transfer.
Page 72 creates a 'health care exchange,' to bring private plans under government control.
Page 85 says government will regulate the benefits of private health care plans, including AARP members.
Page 95 says that various groups such as ACORN, and Americorps will be hired to sign up everyone.
Page 102 says that everyone of Medicaid age must be enrolled. No choice.
Page 127 tells doctors what they can make.
Page 145, 146 says that all part time employees and their families MUST be signed in, and employers must pay for it. (death to small businesses)
Page 167 says that anyone not having government 'approved' health care, will be taxed 2.5% of their income.
Page 170 says that non-resident aliens will be covered but not taxed for it! (you will pay)
Page 239 says that physician services for Medicaid seniors will be reduced.
Page 241, 253 says that all doctors will be paid the same, including specialists, heart surgeons, and the like, and government will set value of a doctor's time.
Page 272 rations cancer treatments; in so many words.
Page 280, 298 lets bureaucrats decide whether doctors actually know what they're doing, for all practical purposes, by deciding if return visits are needed. Need to go to a doctor twice? Ask a bureaucrat.
Page 317, 318 prohibits hospital expansions, but page 321 says exceptions can be made 'with community input.'
Page 341 says government has authority to disqualify all private health care plans and force users into government plans. (There goes the industry).
Page 354 limits enrollment of 'special needs' people.
Page 425 says government can actually plan end of life by providing 'end of life resources,' (euthanasia?) instructions on living wills, powers of attorney, what treatments you can have at end of life, which doctors can be used, etc. Mandatory.
Page 489 says government will cover marriage and family therapy (!)
Page 494-498 covers government mental health services, who gets them, and rations them.
So much for the first 500 pages. It's simply OUTRAGEOUS, and MUST BE STOPPED. All Republicans are voting against it, and if even 39 of the Blue Dog Democrats vote against it also, it is doomed. You can and must do your part not only for your own future benefit, but for America's. Please contact the Blue Dog Democrats in your state, and urge everyone you know to do so. Send this column to them. Now get busy!
