HEALTH CARE?
It seems that the elected representatives of the People do not wish to take the time to read the so called Health Care Bill.Had they taken the time or if they take the time I believe the conversation on Health Care as put forth by the Chief Occupier will be over.Some who have read the description of the Third Reich’s T-4 Health Program equate the current proposal of ObamaCare to be very similar.I see some similarities as I have in many of his other plans for the US and have written about them in the past.
For those who have not read the plan here are a few of the “highlights” if I dare call them that. I think you will find them interesting and then wonder why your representatives are not interested in actually reading and questioning the entire farce of a plan.
( Thanks to Paula for the info. )

Not a problem to cross post. Be sure to give the Hat tip to Paula as well. She is not a blogger but does write an interesting newsletter related to things within today's church and how those in positions of leadership seem to have forgotten the message they were appointed to preach. Some writings also point to current events as they relate to scripture.
I am sure that a lot of folks will be shocked to see even this part of the plan laid out . Too bad our "elected" ones won't pay attention but will go with the way the wind blows and the way that will get them re-elected. The more I see the more convinced that Term Limits are the only answer other than taking to the street in a not so civil manner.
Just what I needed -- Cliff Notes. I am taking this info, pulling the appropriate pages from the bill, attaching to the Clif Notes, and faxing to Senator Hagan who can't figure out if she's a Blue Dog or needs to get in goose-step with BO. I will also drop the copy off to her office and ask that the staff fax it up and I want a response to the issues...not just an acknowledgement of the document.
I have seen both sides of the term limits issue and as much as I favor term limits, it would put even more power in the hands of long-time congressional staffers who actually run the committees and have the ear of the Chair and MCs. If we have term limits we create a problem with Senators and MC who would be lame ducks. Those those who are now on the fence and wavering, because they are looking down the road 18 months at the next election, would be free to vote for whatever the heck they wanted to vote for and the public be damned. It might not take moe than one of two lame-ducks to vote against public wishes and have bad legislation pass. Term limits exist, but it's the people who determine who is limited to terms. I know. I know. Those who have a dog in the fight don't always to go the polls and don't always keep up with issues that affect their lives -- until it's too late. JMHO.
Thank you for another source from someone who has taken the time to break this behemoth down for us. I cross post often when i find a post i believe my readers need to see. On this same topic I posted America’s Affordable Healthcare Choices Act July 23, 2009 by a lady whose blog title is Faithful in Prayer for America.
PJ, Hagan, you can be assured, hasn't read the first page of the dang thing but will hold her finger to the wind and vote to her advantage when the time comes. The pressure will be on her and she will cave. She likes the power that she feels the position gives her. Vote her out and put an end to all questions as to how she will vote. Senators and HMembers who have voted for one item of "the One's" agenda will not be getting my vote regardless of party. I will encourage all those in my State and district to do the same. Cleaning house ala 94 is in high order. That will end the Marxists march to destruction. Given his NPD he will explode and then he can be removed from office as the mental case he is.
AOW . Yes, 95 is quite telling about this administration now isn't it. The neo-brownshirts will not only take census but enforce healthcare as well. Take a look at the T-4 plan highlighted in the main blog. See any resemblance?

Oh
My
Goodness.
My mouth is standing wide open in disbelief at this. I knew it was bad, but to see all these points in print. Is this TRULY what we are headed toward.
God help us...and our children and our children's children.
Thank you for taking the time to point these things out. Would you mind if I posted your entry onto my blog? I will give credit to your blog.

Ticker,

I will add this post to that one on my site. BB

Thanks BB. We all need to do what ever to expose this travesty that is being crammed down the throats of the American people.
Keep up the great work girl and I hope that you are feeling much better.
A damning list, to say the least!
A couple of points which caught my attention:
• Page 95: The Government will pay ACORN and Americorps to sign up individuals for Government-run Health Care plan.
Just the recipe for corruption! Are they going to go door to door?
• Page 167: Any individual who doesnt' have acceptable healthcare (according to the government) will be taxed 2.5% of income.
I rather imagine that catastrophic plans, such as the one Mr. AOW and I have, will be disqualified.
I see in this morning's WaPo that the Senate may be getting close to an agreement on healthcare reform. I hope that this "news" is just a rumor!
