After 14 long, agonizing months, health care reform has come to the finish line. Battered, rejected and defeated in public opinion, it's been raised from the dead any number of times to get to this climatic point. This is now the democrats' final "make or break" week.
And if this bill "makes" it, it may just "break" us as a nation! The debilitating burden of paying for this bill and our nation's burgeoning debt will forcibly go to our children and to their children.
The Administration and Congress have stopped at nothing to force this unpopular bill down our throats. Every week we read of more unethical practices by this Congress, using bribes, kickbacks, and the perverting of the legislative process.
But why?
If the public is so opposed to this bill, why are democrats so intent at falling on their swords to force government-run health care upon us? Why is this Administration pushing an agenda that will cause the economy to suffer catastrophic heart failure?
This is not just about health care. I repeat, this is not just about health care! If it was, there would be a greater flexibility between the political parties to come to a compromise. As it stands now, this is clearly a partisan bill, supported only by President Obama and congressional democrats. The republicans were never given an opportunity to work with the majority party.
I submit that the reason why the left is ignoring public opinion, is simple: It's about an agenda that will change the face of America for all time.
If the bill passes, we will see how the "change" that was promised will dramatically alter the American spirit and culture -- from which there may be no return.
Everything that this administration wants to impose upon this nation, begins and ends here -- in health care. This would be the biggest expansion of government control since the 1960s. Slowly but surely, this administration has been taking more and more control over the private sector, whether it's automobile companies or student bank loans, and now this health-care takeover, which would give the government control over one sixth of the nation's economy, would be the left's crowning achievement.
If this bill passes, there would be no more stopping the erosion of our freedoms and the turning of this nation into a socialist nightmare.
Of course, the behind-the-scenes reason for the president's incessant push for this bill is that his presidency is on the line and it all hinges on this passing. This is again why I say, it's not just about health care.
This is why the stacks are so high and this is why you need to make your voices heard, before it's too late. Once this bill passes, there is no more going back. If you overlook this time for action, you'll one day wake up and regret that you casually ignored your nation's cry for a health care reform that doesn't put America on the gurney!

The Crucial Week for Health Care
I have never seen an administration defy the will of the people by pursuing an agenda (health care) that has already been repudiated by recent local elections. Nor, have I ever seen a congress that would stop at nothing (through bribes, kickbacks & deceit) to pass this legislation. Republican Sen Scott Brown, who was elected by democratic Massachusetts in place of Sen Ted Kennedy, brings us up to speed.

Letter to Pro-Obama Health Care Supporter
I responded to a friend about health care reform, and thought it was good enough for you to read as well.
Hi ______,
I really appreciate your heart and I know where you're coming from.
So, let's start off with where we agree: 1) we agree there's a problem with affordable health care; 2) we support health care reform.
Our only real difference is how we as a nation go about reforming health care.
The bills that have been proposed by the House and Senate carry with them a major cost to the nation, through raising taxes, reducing services, growing our national debt, lowering our medical standards & clamping upon us an intrusive control over our medical decisions, that literally pushes us toward socialism. Plus, did you know, the bills do not provide coverage for all anyway. After all is said and done, after the trillions of dollars invested into this, millions of people will still be left without coverage.
But, here's something else we agree with: health care costs are astronomical! But why? It's mainly because of malpractice insurance that doctors have to pay to protect themselves from frivolous and expensive lawsuits.
Knowing this, why don't we pass one simple bill -- without adding cost to the nation!
TORT REFORM.
Tort reform is putting caps, or limits, on the amount of money doctors can be sued by patients. THIS IS WHY costs are so high -- when every little misdiagnosis turns into a major lawsuit which sends premiums through the roof. Doctors, needing to protect themselves, pay expensive malpractice insurance, the cost of which are then passed onto the patients.
The Obama Administration targets insurance providers as greedy villains. But did you know that trial lawyers are Obama's biggest financial supporters? This is why the Obama Administration rejects Tort Reform -- it would seriously impact the amount of money made by trial lawyers and thereby curtail Obama's and the democrats' campaign funding.
So, if Obama was serious about curtailing health care costs, he should start by passing a bill limiting awards for malpractice suits -- and that would cost the nation NOTHING!
Doesn't that make sense to do?
Obama rejects tort reform and, instead, creates a government bureaucracy that controls everyone's life from womb to tomb. The serious consequences of this bill include funding for abortions and denial of certain medical care to senior citizens because of their age -- despite what the White House website says!
Surely, your concern for people includes the unborn and senior citizens.
Now, let's talk about the catastrophic cost for Obama's health care reform. The nation is already squandering millions of dollars each day to foreign nations to PAY THE INTEREST on the trillions of dollars of debt we owe them. That's every day!
The US cannot sustain such crippling debt to our economy - this will certainly destroy this nation. Plus, it is already forcing the US to change our foreign policy to suit the decisions of nations we're indebted to -- as recently happened when China asked the US not to host the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama was escorted out of the back door of the White House pronto. Suppose one day the Chinese take us to task for protecting ourselves against terrorism? Proverbs says, "...the borrower is servant to the lender" (22:7).
Furthermore, you might think we're getting a free ride with government insurance, but how will it be funded? The children, and their children, born during this reform will be saddled with the debilitating debt, which will be unsustainable. This would be the first time in our nation's history that we would leave our children a country in worse shape, ladened with debt, than we had received and enjoyed.
We would be literally mortgaging away the lives of our children and grandchildren by presenting them with the price tag that puts their lives and hopes into Chapter 11.
As it stands now, the US has the best medical care in the world. People of all nations -- socialized countries included -- come here when they need good health care. That's because our government has no active control over personal and private medical procedures, while every socialized country has government running mom and pop's medical affairs. We cannot emulate the socialist system.
There are other ways for us to reform health care: Obama's plans will put the nation in cardiac arrest -- which, unfortunately, his health care reform does not cover.
We must vote against these bills.
Love you Guys....blessings to you.

HEALTH CARE DECEPTION: Impassioned Explanation of Why the Stakes Are So High!
Susan, a simple housewife from Glendale, California, called the Rush Limbaugh radio show today and gave an articulate and impassioned appeal for a return to the traditions that made this country great.
She gives a no-holds-barred denunciation of the methods and strategies of how the democratic-ruled congress wants to sandbag the American people, with a crooked, expensive health care bill that's going to impose burdensome regulations and strangle our economy.
She laments about the plight of the innocent Michigan mom who was babysitting children and the state of Michigan came down on her, accusing her of running an illegal day care. Susan says that this is how the government will come down on all of us, if we don't comply with their health care regulations.
Rush posted her discourse here. If that link is broke, you can go to Rush's page here -- there's also a transcript there. It's well worth a listen...and after you do, you'll be inspired to call your Senators and Representative.
Oh, this just in....I got a video of the exchange and here it is.

Canadian Socialist Health Care Program Needs Drastic Improvement
My friends, this is why we've been pressing you to tell your legislators that you don't want socialized medicine in the United States. Conveniently enough, the Canadian Medical Association is meeting this week in Saskatoon and the incoming president is stating that the "country's (socialized) health-care system is sick and doctors need to develop a plan to cure it."
The fear we've had all along here in the States is that patients would have inadequate health care -- something that the Canadian doctors are now conceding. "We all agree," says incoming President Dr. Anne Doig, "that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize."
"We know that there must be change," she said. "We're all running flat out (apparently finances!), we're all just trying to stay ahead of the immediate day-to-day demands."We heard today that President Barack Obama is retreating from the single-payer option -- that's a wealth of good news. However, we really need to make sure we don't come close to health care reform that totally stagnates our economy and stymies health care efficiency.

WRITE CONGRESS TO OPPOSE SOCIALIZED HEALTH CARE!
During this summer recess, your senators and congressmen need to hear from you, otherwise they will try to push socialized health care on this country -- something that will have serious social and economic consequences for years to come.
I've made it very simple for everyone. It only takes a few minutes to make a big difference in the direction the country is going. You'll be glad you did something before it's too late.
Get the ADDRESS/PHONE numbers of your REPRESENTATIVES here:
Get the ADDRESS/PHONE numbers of your SENATORS here:
Or, if you prefer, you can locate their FAX numbers here:
Write them a letter; you can use my letter below as a sample. Update it for your own purposes. You can add your own points, but please be respectful.
Here is a sample letter I’m sending to my Congressman, in the first district in NY:
August 11, 2009
The Honorable Timothy Bishop
3680 Route 112, Suite C
Coram, NY 11727
Dear Representative:
As a taxpayer with adequate health coverage, I oppose Congress’s attempt to push socialized health care in this country that I believe will have serious socio-economic ramifications for years to come.
First of all, we can’t afford this bill. The breadth and scope with which this administration is increasing our national debt is astonishingly unprecedented, especially when we as families have to be tightening our belts during these recessionary times.
In general, I am opposed to any health care reform that resembles socialized health care, and in particular, I am opposed to the call for a single-payer system, funding for abortions, funding for illegal aliens (thereby giving them legal status to remain here), the glaring omission from the bill of tort reform, as well as the stripping of our fundamental right to health care decisions between family and doctors and replacing them with decisions made by bureaucrats in Washington.
I pray for this country and for you, as well, and hope that you would oppose this bill towards socialized health care.
Sincerely,
Lou Comunale

Obama's Health Scare Will Eliminate Private Insurance!
On another note, President Obama promised no taxes for middle income Americans, today two Obama officials are preparing the way for taxes (see here).

Health Care is Getting Scarier!
It's worse than you thought. This is why so many are upset about this quagmire called Health Care Reform that President Barack Obama wants to Rahm-rod through congress (Rahm Emanuel is White House Chief of Staff).
Morningstar Ministries' Rick Joyner is all up-in-arms about this. Read his entire denunciation of this bill here.
He says, "This is not about money or government mismanagement—this is about something far more diabolical than that. As incomprehensible as it may seem, this is about euthanasia, the power to determine who lives or dies in America. Hitler and Stalin would have loved to have had a means such as this for dispatching the millions they killed—it would have made their job much easier, and probably given them the ability to kill many more than they did. THIS BILL IS THAT SINISTER. This is not a joke—this is actually the nature of what is being proposed in the National Health Care legislation, and it is the obvious reason why the Obama Administration wants to ram it through Congress before anyone gets a chance to read it."
Joyner also explains why he, a Christian, would speak out against this bill, despite the cost of losing status as one who thinks the best of everyone: "after reading the brief on this health care bill, I don’t see how anyone could not see that there is profound evil and evil intent at work here."
He goes onto to list the various items hidden in the thousand-plus-page bill -- that most of your representatives may not read!:
Pg 59 HC Bill lines 21-24 Government will have direct access to your banks accounts for electronic funds transfer.
Pg 170 Lines 1-3 Any NONRESIDENT Alien is exempt from individual taxes (Americans will pay).
Pg 203 Line 14-15 HC - “The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax.” Yes, it says that.
PG 430 Lines 11-15 The government will decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life.
Pg 770 SEC 1714 Federal Government mandates eligibility for State Family Planning Services. Abortion and State Sovereign.
This is too critical and bizarre to actually be happening in our country and with a segment of the population attracted to this.
BLUE DOG DEMOCRATS
As of this writing, the so-called Blue Dog Democrats, who up until now were resistant to the bill, have now conceded that they will support the bill. I believe the only caveat is that they will not submit the bill until they come back from summer recess. That means we have up until this September-October to storm your senators and congressmen to stop this bill!
If you are as disturbed about this administration's mad quest for socialized health care, then go to this website and write/call/email your representatives here. Also, try to find out when the next town meeting your politicians will be conducting and be there and voice your concerns!
I called up my local representative and immediately got put on a list for a "phone" town call meeting.
