The White House and members of Congress are attempting to subvert the Will of People regarding Health Insurance Reform because they believe that they know better than the rest of us what is best for all of us.
As stated by Michael Rosen, with the San Diego NewsRoom, the Senate Majority Leader announced that “we plan to use the regular budget reconciliation process” to ram ObamaCare through the Senate.
President Obama is resorting to this subversive process because he knows his plan does not have the support in the House, the Senate, or the polls. The majority of Americans strongly oppose the government takeover of health care for very good reasons.
The overwhelming majority of Americans believe that a government takeover of the health insurance industry will dramatically increase health insurance costs, further jeopardize the economy, cause an additional loss of jobs, decrease the ratio of doctors to patients, prolong the wait time to get care, stifle medical innovation and personalized attention, reduce freedom of choice in health care, including natural alternatives, with government bureaucrats deciding what types of treatment you can or cannot receive, and result in drastically inferior quality of health care.

What’s Wrong with the Proposed Reform Legislation?
1) IT WILL COST TOO MUCH AND COVER TOO FEW
The projected cost of the Health Care Bill is more than $1 trillion dollars. That’s 1 THOUSAND BILLION DOLLARS or 1 MILLION MILLION DOLLARS. And you know that if they tell you it will cost $1 trillion dollars, it will end up costing $2 trillion dollars. The proposed Health Care Costs will only cover 15 million of the 43 million uninsured Americans.
The truth is that almost 50% (20 million) of the uninsured have enough money to get health insurance, but are young and single and choose not to buy health insurance. Another 30% (12 million are not Americans at all, but illegal aliens. That leaves only 20 million Americans 6.5% of the total population) that are truly without health insurance. These uninsured already receive free health care: $100 billion from Acess, Medicaid, etc, and $70 billion from hospitals and doctors who treat these patients for free.
2) WE WILL ALL END UP PAYING FOR IT
We already pay for the uninsured by higher insurance premiums charged to cover the extra costs associated wtih providing for the the uninsured that routinely use the emergency rooms for care.
Who’s going to pay the new plans? The Senate plan proposes charging individuals up to 10% or more of their adjusted gross income for insurance coverage.
The House bill would mandate that all Americans and Employers obtain health insurance or pay a fine. Additionally, the House bill would tax individuals to raise money to pay for it. In the end, we will all pay for it because business owners will have to charge more for their goods and services to compensate for their added expense of paying for government run health care for their employees.
3) PRIVATE INSURANCE WILL NO LONGER BE AN OPTION
According to a report in the Investor’s Business Daily (IBD), the House’s “health care for all Americans” bill contains a provision that makes individual private medical insurance illegal.

4) NATIONALIZED HEALTH CARE IS BAD HEALTH CARE
The bigger the bureaucracy and the farther away from the doctor the treatment decision is made, the worse it is for the patient. Nationalized Health Care will mean you will likely never see the same doctor twice and you will wait longer in crowded medical clinics but have less time to spend with the doctor, or more likely the nurse practitioner.
Nationalized medicine will restrict your ability to see a specialist and will limit which tests and treatments your doctor will be allowed to prescribe. The bottom line is this: Nationalized Health Care is a government take-over of the U.S. Insurance industry and the Medical System, which will give politicians too much power, too much money, and too much responsibility that they should not have or can honestly and effectively manage.
5) MANAGED HEALTH CARE IS RATIONED HEALTH CARE
In order to pay for part of the costs of taking over the health care, Medicare would be immediately cut by $500 Billion dollars. This will drastically reduce the quantity and quality of care provided to senior citizens.
Any Nationalized health care will frankly amount to managed health care. President Obama has proposed a national database to determine the most cost-effective treatments in health care. Although this sounds like a good idea, it inevitably means that eventually bureaucrats, not doctors, will decide who gets what treatments and who doesn’t. Those over age 76 will likely not get life saving treatments or will be put on waiting lists for hip replacements, etc, behind younger patients. Younger patients will likely not be given options for alternative treatments.
6) IT WILL INCREASE ABORTIONS AT TAX PAYER EXPENSE
If either one of the two main healthcare reform bills are passed, it will mean more abortions at the taxpayers’ expense. The two primary bills – the Kennedy bill and the House Democratic leadership bill -both contain multiple provisions that would result in federally mandated insurance coverage of abortions on demand, which would result in massive federal subsidies for abortion and even the mandated creation of many new abortion clinics across the country. Its all part of President Obama’s Abortion Agenda…Continue…
7) IT WON’T FIX THE REAL PROBLEM WITH HEALTH CARE
The real problem with today’s health care is that it treats symptoms rather than the cause of disease. Our current medical system is based entirely on the treatment of disease with drugs or surgery, which are both extraordinarily expensive. Chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes account for 75 percent of all health care spending in America today. However, these diseases are mostly preventable by nutrition and lifestyle changes and that’s why it is vitally important that we focus reform efforts on prevention rather than rationing the current system of symptomatic treatment and crisis intervention of late stage disease.
