Barack Obama is attempting to rekindle the health care reform he is proposing by now inviting Republicans to a televised meeting.
Don’t be fooled.
This is all just political wrangling, in an attempt to embarrass the Republicans to back Barack’s plan through peer pressure. The idea is if the media can raise the ire of folks against Republicans blocking the health care bill, they will be forced to sign it and give Barack most, if not all, of what he wants.
Unfortunately, some poor sap Republican or two will fall for this trick. Most likely, it will be led by John McCain. It is poor decisions like McCain’s that got us into this mess in the first place. McCain supported all the proposed bailouts by Obama, and probably will back ‘Stimulus 2′ or whatever stupid acronym Pelosi slaps on the thing.
Look, there can be no health care reform until the cost of real health care is addressed. Why limit/address insurance if we solve the problem of the costs of the procedures and medicines in the first place?
That means Tort Reform, which the trial lawyers backing the Democrats do not want to address. It is easier to treat the effect, in this case the high cost of health insurance, than the cause, which is the frivolous and overwhelming lawsuits being filed each and every day against the health care provider. Obama does not want to address that, as people like his good buddy John Edwards got rich with pulling stunts like ‘channeling the victim’ and other courtroom theatrics.
So, don’t be fooled. All Obama wants to do is control more of the economy under the thumb of the government, where he believes he and his cronies would make better decisions than the American people.
We already made a poor decision electing this man, we don’t need to keep proving his point.
I have not posted recently for many reasons, not the least of which was the death of my 2 year old godson, Jason Lee Johnson, from meningitis.
His death was most likely the result of a misdiagnosis in the hospital’s ‘triage’ room, where they just thought he had a fever when, in fact, he was in the early stages of meningitis. That delayed him over 12 hours from getting the critical care and attention he really needed.
When Obamacare gets passed, this is the scenario you will see duplicated around the country, and that is why I must speak up about it. Honestly, it is no fault of the Triage people in the emergency room. First, it is most often a nurse doing the diagnosis. She is making her best guess as per the symptoms described by the patient or the patient’s friends or family. When we were at the hospital with Jason, there were at least two other people waiting to be seen in triage while Jason was back in the ER already through that process. It isn’t until you get back into the ER until the physician on duty can see you, and then can get ahold of the specialist on call.
But, let’s add something else to this scenario. Multiply the numbers waiting by a good factor. Don’t increase the pay or numbers of the staff, and in fact limit how much they can charge if the patients going through the Triage process are on Medicaid. What do you have? Chaos. You also have an environment where many, many more mistakes in the initial diagnosis will occur. Even in a non-busy time, something may slip through like little Jason’s conditions when he was seen in the morning vs 8 pm at night.
How is this improving our health care?
If you want a more visual proof of what I’m talking about, go on YouTube and search for ‘Steven Crowder Canada’. PJTV’s Crowder went up to Canada to show exactly what the true health care system is up there. It not only is not pretty, but confirms what I am talking about in this post.
This is why Obamacare must be stopped, because in the end it will cause much more harm than good.
As a few of you may have heard by now, Obama issued the order calling the H1N1 ‘epidemic’ a ‘National Emergency’.
As a person who is extremely wary of anything ordered by Obama and his cronies, let’s look at the worse case scenario that this would entail.
First, it allows states to ask for money from the Feds to combat the illness. Not bad, until you discover this is money over and above what’s already been put into places such as spending bills and the stimulus package.
It allows the restriction of large gatherings of people. Of course, that’s intentionally vague and can be used to prevent certain gatherings and allow others…say, like, prohibiting protests against Obamacare and Cap & Trade, but allowing SEIU and ACORN protests.
It allows quarantines of areas of outbreak. You know, like more conservative suburbs, or large businesses, like those owned by the US Chamber of Commerce members.
Do I actually think Obama and Sebillius would actually do such things? Unfortunately, you just can’t put this sort of thing past them.
I wish I wasn’t turning more and more paranoid about this president. I really do not want to think he is that petty, but then we see what he’s tried to do to Fox News and you realize he isn’t above being petty.
Yes, my title is provocative, but hear me out.
Harry Reid is going to use parliamentary tricks in order to get the Health Care bill passed despite opposition of more than 55% of the electorate. He’s going to attempt to tie the Health Care bill to the tax on TARP bonuses that was passed by Pelosi’s House.
In essence, the two of them are going to ram a grab of 17% of our GDP through, and include the public option on it.
Not only is this against any sort of common decency to follow the bill the right way through the House and Senate, but they are just trying to provoke people who are going to take major offense to this being ramrodded down their throats. Those people are already fed up, at witnessed by the Tea Parties. Until now, those people have followed the law to the letter – ask yourself how many of the one million plus at Washington DC’s September 12th rally were arrested for civil disobedience?
None.
That’s going to start to change, the more Reid and Pelosi flaunt the system and push this country into a state Stalin would be proud of, let alone Mussolini (search this blog for my November 2008 article concerning that).
The violence that Pelosi faked tears over, and warned about is coming closer and closer to reality the more this kind of garbage she pushes. If it does come about, the blame is squarely on her shoulders for using the government to oppress the freedoms enjoyed by its people, and for destroying the protections we have in the United States Constitution to restrict the power of government.
I wish I wouldn’t have to predict this sort of thing. I thought we could all be responsible individuals and not let it come down to another Civil War. If the trend continues, however, I see it as inevitable.
Let’s get it straight…I’m not advocating it, but I am predicting it.
God help us all.
