Health Care AFter Two Weeks

The deed has been done. The bill has been passed. The people have spoken, and been ignored.                       joe-biden-on-healthcare1

As Speaker Pelosi put it we must pass this legislation so we can see what is in it. So lets see what we have found after two weeks.

Let’s look at the Aftermath of ObamaKare:

Just two weeks after the signing of the bill a litany of companies across the country have sounded off about the effects of the Health SCARE bill. It’s not pretty.

The bill takes away tax write offs given to companies who continue to fund select parts of their health care after retirement. This is a very costly expense that these corporations feel they must continue to fund in many cases out of loyalty to there retirees. The numbers are staggering.

  • AT&T - $1 billion
  • Boeing - $150 million
  • Caterpillar - $100 million
  • Deere & Co. - $90 million
  • 3M - $90 million
  • Verizon - $50 million
  • Valero - $20 million

When confronted with this information Illinois Democrat Anthony Weiner was unsympathetic claiming that the repeal of the write off is not of consequence because the companies shouldn’t have to get a tax break to cover such expenses for their retirees.

Well Mr. Weiner that is your opinion but one thing that is an indisputable fact is that the added expenses of this Liberal Holy Grail will be passed on to the consumer in some way. This is how business works it is a fact that their expenses become our expenses (Just like Congresses).

Thanks Senator Weiner you really live up to your name.

Congressman Henry Waxman, (D) California, now wants the CEOs of the aforementioned companies to appear in Congress to testify to the validity of their statements. Proof that speaking out against the Presidents plans will land you in a modern day Spanish Inquisition. Waxman will wish the idea never entered his thick little head after all is said and done. These CEOs and business execs are bound by law to disclose this information to the SEC making it public knowledge. To neglect to do so would land them in prison. They will clearly have the data to support their claims and leave Waxman and his “Oboss” looking like idiots. Thanks for helping to get the truth out Henry.

Just two weeks later: Once again the Washingtards trample the 10th amendment with the passage of this scourging of our economy. 15 states, including Indiana, Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania, are suing the Government over the Constitutionality of the health care bill. A total of 36 states are taking legal action of some form to resist the government take over. The uproar caused largely by the Government plan to force the American people to buy a specific product that must be approved by the government.

Just two weeks later: There is now an open door for the federal funding of abortions. Of course this is looked upon as a triumphant victory by the likes of Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D) of Michigan.

Just two weeks later: The federal government has a need for 16,000 new IRS agents to enforce the unconstitutional, 10th amendment trampling, scourging of our rights to privacy as American citizens. Our medical records are going to be widely accessible by numerous government agencies in their efforts to determine your health care status.

Just two weeks later: Senator Tom Carper (D) Delaware clearly still has not read the bill he voted for. He insisted on, and got called out on, the statement that all members of Congress and White House Administration staffs will be bound to participate in the Health SCARE plan that Congress hid like a bitter pill in an apple so all of us mules would swallow it unknowingly.

It’s in the last 40 seconds of the video below

It didn’t work Varney & Company got to the bottom of it. Turns out that Republicans tried to push through an amendment in the Senate that WOULD require exactly that and the Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid tabled the amendment before it could be voted on. In fact this was done with EVERY Republican amendment offered when the Senate “fix it” bill was being voted on. So I ask you, now who’s the party of NO?

Two weeks later: Democrats now face threats of physical violence over health care vote. I don’t condone violence but these threats should send message to those who voted against the will of the people.

Two weeks later: The Medicus Firm a medical recruitment company, shows in their survey that over 45% of physicians said they’d quit or retire if ObamaKare were to pass. How do we cover 30 million new patients with only half the doctors? I’m glad this plan was so well thought out. Two weeks later: The student loans have been taken away from the private sector and now will be controlled completely by the federal government, save North Dakota, what is now being called the Bismarck Bank Job, is nothing more than another bribed vote. Surely Rep. Earl Pomeroy, and Sen. Kent Conrad. Had one of those back room meetings to work this one out. Marry Landrieu’s’ Louisiana Purchase has nothing on these to guys when it comes to getting the most out of your vote. What exactly does the student loans program have to do with the HealthSCARE plan? Well think about it they have to pay for it some how. Go explain to Berkley students why their student loan rates are going up and see if they burn some more houses down.

Two weeks later: Speaker Pelosi still claims that the HealthSCARE bill was crafted with full transparency. Apparently she was busy flying around on her private jet while all of the back room deals were being made. Though some of them were rescinded in the aftermath of outrage and anger, that doesn’t change the fact that the deals were made and added to the bill. The list of back room deals is long:free-healthcare1

  • The Louisiana Purchase
  • The Cornhusker Kickback
  • Gatoraid
  • The U-Conn
  • The Bismarck Bank Job

Did I miss any?

Two week later: I would venture to guess that Democrats don’t sleep well at night. They own this mess. Not a single Republican voted for it. Not a single Republican accepts it. This one can not be blamed on Bush or 8 years of bad policy. Vice President Joe Biden said that Obama’s presidency would be finished if they failed to push through the HealthSCARE bill. This recap of corruption and out right stupidity just scratches the surface of what is yet to be a revealed of a 2400 + page bill that no one attempted to read before voting for it. Now that the deed is done Obama’s presidency  may be finished.

The Washingtards have mandated that Health Care is a right. What other new rights will they mandate next?

The right to Child Care?

The right to Housing?

The right to higher education?

It’s a Cracked World when our nation’s law makers think we have a right to health care, yet we don’t have a right to life.

The One Bill

Congress

Congress

One Bill to rule us all,
One Bill to find us,
One Bill to bring us all
and in the darkness bind us……

Sorry I couldn’t resist. This is what came to mind as I watched the Speaker of the House prance about with a giant gavel cradled in her arms. She was making her historic march to the Capital Building to vote for the government usurpation of what equals One Sixth of “Their” nations economy. I say to “THEIR nations economy” because; to the Democrats in Congress governing against the will of the people is their job. This particular breed of Wahingtard  believes that they know whats good for us better than we ourselves do. Therefore it’s their economy and their country not ours because the will of the people is no longer a matter worthy of consideration. I digress, Speaker Pelosi and her fellow Washingtards made their historic march in the midst of thousands of protesters chanting “Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill” uncaring. For they have transcended the will of the people. No longer do they need the acceptance of “We the People.”

Thousands in Washington and Millions at home looked on as this  flotsam and jetsam, (look it up), these pirates of the Constitution, usurped our Constitution of the freedoms and liberties bestowed within it; the supposed inalienable  rights of All Americans. I find it ironic that the Washington onlookers are commonly known to all as the Tea Party activists. It creates a powerful image in my mind when I think of a well known quote: “Those who fail to remember history are doomed to repeat it.” Ask yourself what followed the Boston Tea Party? Revolution that’s what; revolution  that perpetrated violence  against an oppressive government.

While Liberal Democrats taut their great victory over the will of the people from atop a pedestal upon which they believe themselves to be untouchable Republicans and Conservatives alike hear the soft whisper in the distance, a breeze from the heartland, a breeze recognized by all who are willing to listen as the winds of change soon to be sweeping through Washington to cleanse us of these corrupted bastard sons and daughters of our Constitution.

The Washingtards, blind to the cries of their constituents followed through with this abomination of law and claimed victory. But victory over whom? Over the Republicans? Over the so called Bluedog Democrats? No they claim victory over the American people! This is an issue far bigger than the petty differences of the mental midgets in Washington.

Welcome to the new world. Not discovered by Christopher Columbus, but created by Liberal Democrats in Washington so they may rule on high.

Not So Fast

Many governors of these United States are preparing already to challenge the Authority of Congress to pass such legislation onto each individual state and their citizens.

According to Foxnews:

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum also announced that he and top prosecutors from 10 other states are filing a lawsuit to “protect the rights” of the American people from the bill.

“The health care reform legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives this last night clearly violates the U.S. Constitution and infringes on each state’s sovereignty,” McCollum said in a statement.

Attention Washingtards read the Tenth Ammendment!

At least three dozen state legislatures are considering proposals to challenge the federal legislation. Some are pursuing amendments to their constitutions by ballot question; others are looking to change state law.

YES! What all this means is that Congress is breaking the law by passing this bill.

The president could put a stop to such a seizure of power simply by not signing the bill. We all know that won’t happen, it only proves that he is as guilty as those who passed this bill into law. His hands are dirty in this there is no one  else for him to blame he could simply refuse to sign it. By signing this bill he becomes a party to this crime against America.

If Congress is permitted to force the citizens of this country to buy insurance against there will whats next? The requirement to buy a MG car?

All in all the American people have the upper hand in this war on the Constitution. We hold the power to remove these destroyers of liberty from Congress. It is now up to the voters to do the job. November is coming up fast. Only We the People can take back our country before it becomes The Peoples Republic of Amerika.

It is time to take back America while it still exists in our hearts and minds. Lets Roll!

Congress makes it a Cracked World!

American Idiots and HealthCare

Politics | Posted by C.C.Mitchell
Feb 25 2010

It seems that the liberal thought process is coming out again. They need to save us from ourselves. We are just too dumb to know whats good for us. After a year of the American people saying we don’t want what “THE WASHINGTARDS” are selling they are still trying to find a way to shove 2400 pages of legislation down our throats under the false illusion  that WE JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND.

Glenn Beck illustrates this as only he can in the below video clip from Foxnews. Beck gets a little goofy but he does drive the point home nicely. Stick with it he plays some nice footage of Valerie Jarrett trying to explain that the public was so drawn to the Hope and Change slogan because it was simple for us to understand after a man suggests that some booklets might spell things out to the American Idiots like those in the Tea Party movement.

Dr.O is so bright he sees his errors immediately……… ummmm OK I’ll ask: Whens he going to figure out that the people - The American Idiots, by steadily widening margins, don’t like his health care bill!??!

Of course this genius spent about six and a half hours today to discuss health care reform and in the end drew the conclusion that the disagreements out weigh the agreements; that the differences are irreconcilable; that the gaps can not be bridged.

Really!?!? I’d have never guessed that. It’s to be expected, idiots you know.

Bill Maher seems to have it figured out though; just don’t bother explaining it! Americans are too dumb to care or even notice. I would beg to differ, but what do I know I still believe in a higher being.

GEE I guess we’re condemned to stupidity. Never to know the burdens of superior intellect.

If Bill Maher and Barrack Obama posses superior intellect I’d rather be dumb.  Us useful idiots do serve one use, we get to choose if those with the superior intellect keep their jobs or not. So, do you think he sees that error?

Its a Cracked World!

“Socialized Medicine” A Government Health Care Plan

Politics | Posted by C.C.Mitchell
Jun 15 2009

If we don’t do something immediately we are headed for a catastrophe.  Do these words sound familiar? They should, that’s what we were told when the bank bailout “had” to be passed, its what we heard when the $800 billion stimulus bill  “had” to be passed, its what was said when the auto makers were taken over. Now once again it is the battle cry of the president but this time its health care that is doomed to end in utter catastrophe if the government doesn’t take control of immediately.

American Medical Association

So many catastrophies, so little time.

Take a look around at how well all the other catastrophes turned out after the government stepped in.

  • AIG got big bonuses anyway because Christopher Dodd and Barrack Obama made sure they did.
  • The stimulus plan fizzled after the promises of new job creation fell far short of the Presidents rantings and the publics expectations.
  • The auto makers are now all bankrupt (except Ford) and selling off their bad assets while shafting their bond holders into accepting pennies on the dollar for debts legitimately owed to them in the process.

I am not saying that there isn’t a problem with the cost of health care in this country; what I am saying is that a government run health care system is not the best solution to the problem. “Socialized medicine” is the new term for it, though not all people like that name it does describe the idea well.

In a speech given today intended to garner support from the AMA-(American Medical Association) for his “Socialized Medicine” plan the president eluded to the idea of capping malpractice suits against doctors. He said “I recognize that it will be hard to make some of these changes if doctors feel like they are constantly looking over their shoulder for fear of lawsuits.” At the same time he still opposes capping malpractice damages awards on the record; meaning he has not outright proposed a cap only a recognition of the issue. Furthermore the trial lawyers who have been big supporters of democrats in the past have no intention of allowing a cap on these lawsuits without a fight and most assuredly a threat of pulling campaign contributions as retribution for such a policy. In short don’t expect it to happen, its all lip service.

The Wrong Prescription

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made sure his voice was heard as he referred to the “Socialized Medicine” plan as “the wrong prescription” as he went on to say that “Americans want change, but they don’t want changes that will make existing problems worse. And that’s exactly what a government-run system would do.”

President Obama stated that the plan would cost around $1 trillion or more over the next ten years.

Or more” being the important words of that statement. Lets face facts his numbers crunchers haven’t done the best job at determining the costs and benefits of the administrations’ dealings. The Stimulus package will cost far more in the long run than expected because of a lack of tax revenue caused by the recession, the jobs created and saved was a delusional number that he still stands by even though its impossible to determine if a job was saved as a result of his spending of tax dollars.

Besides everyone knows that the cost of health care is steadily rising and that will not stop over night therefore his $1 trillion todaycould be $2 trillion tomorrow. Besides he already said the government is running out of money so this is more deficit spending. I guess that shouldn’t shock me.

They Say it will Fail

In his speech to the AMA in Chicago he said,

“They’ll give dire warnings about socialized medicine and government takeovers; long lines and rationed care; decisions made by bureaucrats and not doctors. We’ve heard it all before — and because

these fear tactics have worked, things have kept getting worse,” he said.

We’ve heard it all before…… Yes we have! We have heard it from Canadians who would rather travel to The U.S. for their health care because its not government ran and because there are no lines of rationed care, the same complaints are made in England and other European nations with systems of “Socialized Medicine”.

The fear tactics worked because they are fact tactics.

The fiscally conservative Blue Dog Democrats, in The House of Representatives, doubt that health-care reform legislation will curb rising costs of health care while maintaining current standards of care.

On Tuesday the Republicants plan to release an alternative plan to that of the presidents. Lets hope it has more substance than their alternative plan to the stimulus package which was a joke by any standard.

Hang on to your hats folks this could get nasty real soon. In any case the outcome doesn’t look good.

Its a Cracked World, but we already know that don’t we?
