Your Comprehensive Guide to Mr Obama's Government Control Health Care

Help me....

First, download your pdf copy of H. R. 3200 at the Government Printing Office link. Then get a cup of coffee - this is going to be a long one. Then check the following list of problems with Obama's Government Control Health Care proposal.

~~~~~~~~

The Obama Health Care Plan is a tangle. Participation will be mandatory. We must stop this madness.

Free people ought to be able to make their own choices. If we cannot make our own choices, then either something is wrong with us, or something sucks about the system. What is wrong with the proposed health care system is the politicians in full rebellion against the lawful authority of the people.

But, gee, the private system doesn't care. Usually this complaint heard as "private health care is for profit." This ignores that profitability comes from administrative efficiency. In a private market where one supplier will go out of biz if they don't deliver the service. In a public option, this incentive for efficiency goes away.

Sure, private health care bureaucrats are uncaring at times. Government bureaucrats, drawn from the same stock of humanity, will also be uncaring. More so, since it is next to impossible to fire a government employee. If you think you've had to deal with uncaring bureaucrats, you ain't seen nuthin' yet. Obama Care will suck the life out of American health care.

But, gee, the government has unlimited resources.

Get serious. Government resources are limited as the people are limited. And government administration lacks vision. Just behold the wonder of Social Security administration. Saying yes is easy, but paying for yes is hard. We will have to pay for what they say. Are you up for this? Really?

This plan would create rationing through government committees, force all Americans to buy over-priced, politically created health insurance, create an economically unsustainable government-run insurance plan, and impose economy-crushing taxes. More than 88 million Americans could LOSE their private, employer-based coverage. Yearly premiums for Americans with private coverage could jump as much as $460 per person as a result of more cost-shifting. Even doctors stand to lose thousands of dollars of income under the legislation. Annual physician net income is estimated to drop by 6.3 percent or $13.4 billion (coming in at an average $18,900 per physician) when compared with current trends.

This is OUTRAGEOUS, and YOU must stop it. Please, do the RIGHT thing -- REJECT H.R. 3200, " America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009," or any other attempt to force socialized health care or government-mandated health insurance on Americans. Thank you.

Posts like this show how ignorant people can be. You have no intention of rationally considering the facts of healthcare reform.

Medicare is government-run healthcare. The VA Health System is government-run healthcare.

Your IGNORANCE is what is OUTRAGEOUS; yours, and everyone else who regurgitates this same, tired argument about healthcare reform. What's YOUR solution?

Don't you just love posts like ol' Anonymous. That numbskull calls a detailed examination of HR3200 ignorant. Hilarious, and revelatory. It shows just how blind Mr Obama's faithful followers are.

Always keep your eyes open. Always be suspicious of any politician, especially when they seek nearly unlimited control over your personal life.

Anonymous asks "What's YOUR solution?" Well how about this for starters: Solution #1) For the 2 ruling parties to stop ruling. Stop the fighting over thier own greed fueled agendas. Thier job is to write, READ, and pass bills. Instead of passing bills for the people who put them there, They have highjacked our political system to (dare I say it again!) advance thier own greed fueled agendas and stuff our bills full of pork. Solution #2) For Americans to stand up and once again demand that our "elected servants" answer to us and our concerns.. Not the concerns of Lobbiests, Big Pharma and Global Corporations. And since DC has such a hard time reading bills we will read them. And we WILL have questions. We are Americans and we have that right! Solution #3) To call out "Anonymous Ignorance". It is ignorance of not paying attention to what DC is doing that has gotten us to this point. As for you mr. anonymous... I don't blame you for remaining anonymous, YOUR ignorance is showing. My name is Teri. I am an american patriot and I will no longer turn a blind eye. As a final note. I watched my mother die while on medicare. And I am fully aware that it is government-run health care. As I said, I watched my mother die while on medicare.
