The Real Demise of Healthcare

Yesterday, the Senate approved its version of "The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009" (available for your viewing here). This is the so called stimulus package that is being steamrolled through the system by the Obama administration without any time for contemplation or debate. Not only is this plan filled to the brim with pork, it contains devastating provisions for the American health care system. A giant step towards socialized medicine. Basically what the section on health care states is that there is going to be a new federal agency created for the purpose of monitoring and controlling the care that doctors and hospitals provide patients. The agency will see to it that doctors only provide the most "cost effective" treatments rather than treatments that have the best chance of saving a life. See this great article for a more detailed analysis of the plan, but the point is that this bill is a monumental step in a economic and social direction that has been proven time and again to fail.

If you take a look at the article by Betsy McCaughey, you will see several quotes by Mr. Obama and his henchmen along the lines of “The issue is too important to be stalled by Senate protocol.” The only problem is, that protocol is the American way! That is how our government works and to bypass it is to completely ignore the way our Founding Fathers intended the government to be run. They are trying to get this bill passed so fast because they know that if the majority of the American people actually learn and think about what is inside, they will be against it.

It is critical that everyone who reads this calls their representative in the U.S. Senate and pleads for action to be taken against this bill and all of its socialist filth. Find your senator's contact information here: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
