Obama/Pelosi Health Care – Covering Illegals, Destroying Choice, Rationing Care, Enslaving Your Children

The ugly truth about the Obam/Pelosi  Socialized Health Care System emerges day-by-day, even from the mouths of Democrats.  Recently, when asked “would health care reform cost more than $ 1.0 TRILLION Dollars” Charles Rangel (D, NY) , recently said this:

“Yes”

The truth is, the estimate at this point stands at $ 11.5 trillion dollars over the next 10 years.  When was the last time the government was even close to the real cost aof a government run program?  So now, they are floating the idea of a “National Sales Tax” to pay for Socialized Health Care, the so-called “Value Additional Tax” or VAT.

VAT taxes already exist in Socialized Europe.  The Socialist Governments love the Value Additional  Tax because it is a stealth tax.  It is added at every level of production and the consumer never sees the cost of the tax printed on a receipt.  It is also self-increasing in that the increases in cost automatically increase the tax collected.  To better understand the massive Value Additional Tax they are proposing in addition to the Income Tax and the massive Global Warming Light Switch Tax they are proposing  watch the video:

The reality is they Democrats are trying to destroy the American Health Care System by creating the “Public Option” plan which will provide health care to you at a subsidized cost so as to make it unprofitable for private insurance companies to provide a high quality private health care system that honors the concept of choice by the patient and defers treatment options to the Doctor.  They repeatedly admit that this is their strategy:  If you do not believe me, hear it in their own words:

So, If you want to destroy any hope of your being able to make your own health decisions, instead of some health care board like the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research.  Obama’s stimulus  created this board whose mantra is:

Comparative effectiveness research provides information on the relative strengths and weakness of various medical interventions. Such research will give clinicians and patients valid information to make decisions that will improve the performance of the U.S. health care system.

Translating:

“We will decide which treatments are cost effective and set the standards under which you will be denied access to treatments based on our perceived  effectiveness of that treatment in patients with a “similar profile”"

(meaning if you are over a certain age, you will denied lifesaving treatments because you will surely die in less time than they can justify the treatments cost, even if naturally).  If you doubt this, look at England.   They have a board that does the same thing there.  The English National Health Service is so efficient they have developed a new goal:

Waiting lists and the 18 week target

In the NHS, which aims to give a broad coverage of care to all without charging, health care is rationed on the grounds of clinical need, meaning that emergency cases (e.g. heart attacks) get instant access where those with less urgent needs (e.g. cataract surgery) are given lower priority and so wait longer.

Although there are obvious arguments in favour of prioritising by clinical need rather than ability to pay[53], it can mean that waiting lists vary widely between regions. Patients waiting can choose to have a procedure done outside their local NHS district in order to be seen more quickly, and if the waiting time is long can often get private treatment at public expense, either in the UK or abroad. A major programme is underway in the NHS to reduce all wait times to 18 weeks by December 2008[54]. This new target starts when the patient’s own doctor writes to the hospital specialist and ends when treatment begins. It therefore includes the time to make the first appointment, and the time for all diagnostic tests to be completed, evaluated, and discussed with the patient, which were not in the previous target. It has been widely criticised by doctors, healthcare professionals, and think-tanks as diverting resources from more serious conditions to achieve politically-motivated goals[55], and doubts persist over its achievability[56].

The term bed-blockers is often used to refer to patients still receiving care, even though their acute ailment has been treated and they are fit for discharge. This strains hospital resources, through both increased costs and longer waiting times for other patients. In the UK, bed-blockers are frequently geriatric patients awaiting a placement in a nursing or residential facility.[57][58]

Their “Goal” is to reduce waiting times for surgical procedures down to 18 weeks.  I am not kidding that is a quote from the NHS in England. If you want that here, vote for the Obama/Pelosi Socialized Health Care System.

Finally, you are not going to bear the brunt of tradgedy or cost for this.  All the Democrat Entitlement programs are modeled on the Bernie Madoff method of accounting.  yes Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are  modeled on a system where the working people pay for the non-working people’s benefits. Yes they are classic ponzi schemes.  If only we could put our ccongressman and Senators in the cell with Bernie.  They do justly deserve it.

But you have look at your own interests here and ask yourself if you are willing to enslave and doom your children to pay the costs of paying  your health care and oh the health care of illegal aliens as well.  Representative Carolyn Maloney (D, NY) admits as much on the following video 6 minutes in.

Their goal is to destroy your health care choices and enslave your children and grandchildren  under a mountain of debt. In the end, your choice is to steal the wealth and freedom of your children and grand children for your own self-interests.  One can only hope your answer will be no.
