You know, I hear people out there argue that those opposed of this healthcare reform are "selfish." Really?! Excuse me if it's selfish to hold onto my God-given rights as an American citizen. I apologize if it's selfish of me to not support my money subsidizing abortions, paying for illegals' healthcare, giving the government unprecedented amounts of power and control over my life, oh, and giving them the authority to throw me in jail if I don't buy health insurance. I guess that makes me selfish, in which case I'll be as selfish as possible to prevent that from happening. I hope it's very clear to all the numb skulls out there that this is not about making health insurance more affordable and effective. It's not. And if you believe that, shame on you for being so ignorant. The government is pulling at peoples' heart strings in order to get this un-Constitutional bill passed. "You don't want people to die who can't afford insurance, do you?" And unfortunately, there are enough ignorant people out there who fall for that crap.
Here's another article from someone who has actually gone through the healthcare bill (which is more than most any Congressman can say). It speaks for itself.
FELLOW AMERICANS,
JOIN ME AND MY FAMIY AS WE RAISE THE STANDARD OF FREEDOM, THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS.
WOW!! Lets hear it for the Judge! The article is in the Marble Falls, Texas newspaper. It was written by our former county judge, David Kithil. He voiced his opposition to HB 3200, and gave EXACT SPECIFICS, to include page and paragraph in the bill on why this Health Bill is BAD. I called Thomas Edwards, Editor of the River Cities Tribune, to get legal permission to quote David Kithil's comments. He gave me that permission, so I can quote him. Here are excerpts from the article, giving EXACT pages and paragraphs in the bill and why it is so bad. You can forward this to all of your addressees. I think he hits everything right on the head and the opposition you may encounter cannot argue over these points:
JUDGE KITHIL: "I have reviewed selected sections of the bill and find it unbelievable that our Congress, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, could come up with a bill loaded with so many wrong-headed elements. We do need to reform the health insurance system in America in order to make coverage affordable and available to everyone. But, how many of us believe our federal government can manage a new program any better than the bankrupt Medicare program or the underfunded Social Security program? Both Republicans and Democrats are equally responsible for the financial mess of those two programs.
I am opposed to HB 3200 for a number of reasons. To start with, it is estimated that a federal bureaucracy of more than 150,000 new employees will be required to administer HB3200. That is an unacceptable expansion of a government that is already too intrusive in our lives. If we are going to hire 150,000 new employees, let's put them to work protecting our borders, fighting the massive drug problem and putting more law enforcement/firefighters out there."
NOW, here comes the good stuff: "Other problems I have with this bill include:
Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.
Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual’s bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.
Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN).
Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?)
Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors' fees.
Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient's age.
Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception.
Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years.
Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order."
HAD ENOUGH???? Judge Kithil then goes on: " Finally, it is specifically stated this bill will not apply to members of Congress. Members of Congress are already exempt from the Social Security system and have a well-funded private plan that covers their retirement needs. If they were on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick "fix" to make the plan financially sound for the future."
Honorable David Kithil
