British/Canadian Style Health Care Coming to a ‘Public Option’ Near You

Since the Emperor got himself elected on the backs of the homeless of this nation which his favorite Community Organizing group ACORN fraudulently registered to vote multiple times¹, this nation has been torn apart over his “health care reform” bamboozle. Those of us on the right who correctly see this as a vehicle toward a British and/or Canadian style single payer government run and MANDATORY health care system have been attempting to warn you about all the eventual failures that the Death Care scheme will necessarily lead to. Apparently many of you are paying attention because support for the destruction of the highest quality heath system in the world is meeting strong resistance from The People.

We can discuss poll numbers all day which suggest that over 50% of this nation is opposed to the Obama/Reid/Waxman/Pelosi Death Care plan but that is information that we are all aware of. In spite of that walking corps Harry Reid’s insistence that a “public option” is strongly favored by the American people. That’s hogwash and everybody but Reid seems to understand that. But then again he can barely remain out of a coma long enough to answer when his name is called for a quorum call.

I digress.

Knowing that any kind of “public option” is opposed by all of us peasants, that is not stopping the Liberal leadership in the House and Senate from forcing one through.

Yesterday, I wrote about Pelosi’s plan including a rationing plan for prescription drugs in Medicare. Wonderful. I wonder how long it would take to filter through the rest of the government plan? Probably about the same time it forces private insurance out of business and everyone is lumped into the “public option” that will no longer be optional.

A word about rationing drug coverage in Medicare before I continue. The Medicare prescription drug program as it relates to Medicare Advantage is actually a premium service paid for by the beneficiary. Medicare Advantage is the only part of Medicare that is working efficiently. But House and Senate Democrats want to trash Medicare Advantage to gain favor of AARP so they can claim seniors are on board. Why does AARP want Medicare Advantage scrapped? Because they do not offer it. AARP sells Medigap coverage which “helps cover the 20% that Medicare Part B does not” but doesn’t fully cover it. Rationing will only reduce the number of drugs that your doctor has to choose from to treat your medical conditions. If drug A is the best at treating your condition but the Pelosi plan doesn’t include drug A, your doctor may be forced to prescribe a less effective drug B to treat you. This does not reflect the quality that they have been promising.

Now we learn that the Pelosi plan does in fact include Abortion coverage in the “public option”. But with a twist.

Section 213 on page 16 of the bill will force all Enrollees of the “public option” to pay a monthly $1 premium to fund abortion coverage. Yep, you may be a pro-life male who is not sexually active but you will be forced under the Pelosi plan to help pay for abortions. Can you see where this is going if private insurance is destroyed in favor of the government plan?

From Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner (R OH-8):

Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to use federal funds to pay for elective abortions. Health reform should be an opportunity to protect human life – not end it.

Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi’s 2,032-page government takeover of health care does just that. On line 17, p. 110, section 222 under “Abortions for which Public Funding is Allowed” the Health and Human Services Secretary is given the authority to determine when abortion is allowed under the government-run plan. The Speaker’s plan also requires that at least one insurance plan offered in the Exchange covers abortions.

What is even more alarming is that a monthly abortion premium will be charged of all enrollees in the government-run plan. It’s right there on line 16, page 96, section 213, under “Insurance Rating Rules.” The premium will be paid into a U.S. Treasury account – and these federal funds will be used to pay for the abortion services.

Section 213 describes the process in which the Health Benefits Commissioner is to assess the monthly premiums that will be used to pay for elective abortions under the government-run plan. The Commissioner must charge at a minimum $1 per enrollee per month.

This is all a result of putting 1960’s radicals in charge and allowing them to dictate to the rest of us their will. In the 60’s these same people were attempting to build a consequence free environment. In 1973, the Supremes sitting on high in Washington DC agreed with the radicals and forced legalized abortions upon the nation under the twisted logic that states rights are a violation of due process laws. The Warren Court created this situation now Nancy Pelosi and her left coast radicals want to force all of you to pay for their bad behavior.

Newton said in his 2nd law of motion, “every action has an equal and opposite reaction”. This not only applies to motion and propulsion, it applies to life. Every action requires a consequence. Not all consequences are negative. Some actions are taken for the express purposes of bringing about a desired consequence. For example sex.

A married couple wishing to bring a child into the world has sex in order to create the child. This is a desired consequence of their sexual activity. A promiscuous woman who has no self control who may be out on the town on a Saturday night gives in to her temptations and has sex with a man she just met and ends up pregnant. The 1960’s mentality of a consequence free world says, that’s ok, we’ll kill it. And then everything is ok.

But now there is a new twist. Not only do they want it to be legal, they want it to be readily available at taxpayer expense. Hence the reason why iron faced Pelosi wants every ‘public option’ enrollee to pay a $1 premium per month. Once the ‘public option’ is no longer an ‘option’ and all 312 million of us are forced to pay $1 a month to fund abortions for those who lack self control – Planned Parenthood and their ilk will be very well funded indeed.

Pelosi wants to not only make promiscuous sex consequence free, but wants to reward those who engage in the practice with no financial burden for their loathsome decision to kill what they’ve created through their stupidity.

There was a time in this country where women who act like the fictional woman I described above – the promiscuous one not Pelosi – were shunned. It is my personal belief that we lost something when this practice was abandoned in favor of acceptance.

Do you want to be forced to pay for abortion? Make sure your elected officials know that you don’t. Call them daily. Write them. Email them. Fax them. And show up and let them know in person. Not only should abortion be aborted from health care, not one single taxpayer dollar ought to be spend funding them.

The GOP has come out publicly with an alternative to the Pelosi plan. I doubt it will ever see a committee in the House much less given an up or down vote on the floor, but here it is…

What Americans want are common-sense, responsible solutions that address the rising cost of health care and other major problems. In the national Republican address on Saturday, October 31, 2009, House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) discussed Republicans’ plan for common-sense health care reform our nation can afford. Boehner’s address emphasized four common-sense reforms that will lower health care costs and expand access to quality care without a government takeover of our nation’s health care system that kills jobs, raises taxes on small businesses, or cuts Medicare for seniors:

• Number one: let families and businesses buy health insurance across state lines.
• Number two: allow individuals, small businesses, and trade associations to pool together and acquire health insurance at lower prices, the same way large corporations and labor unions do.
• Number three: give states the tools to create their own innovative reforms that lower health care costs.
• Number four: end junk lawsuits that contribute to higher health care costs by increasing the number of tests and procedures that physicians sometimes order not because they think it’s good medicine, but because they are afraid of being sued.

You can read Republican Leader Boehner’s comments here.

The Democrats have been saying all along that the Republicans are not offering any solutions of their own. This is plain and simple bullshit. The Democrat leadership has locked out the Republican Caucus from the health care debate. They are crafting all of their bills in secret and dropping them in the hopper just hours before they come to a vote. There is no chance to read any bill being offered by the Democrats just “here it is, let’s vote on it now”. And because everything is such a crisis, there is no way to delay the vote long enough to read the bills. UNLESS…

There is a tiny little group of Democrat Congressmen/women in the House who are elected from traditionally Republican districts. They were elected during the mass anti-Republican wave of 2006 and 2008. Now they are facing re-election when the tide is sweeping in the other direction. Tuesday’s election results in Virginia, New Jersey, and yes, even NY-23 have them all pausing. These people all understand that there is a huge backlash against big government and they do not want to be associated with big government. They ran on platforms of fiscal responsibility when Republicans weren’t being fiscally responsible. Their Party is screwing them at every turn and they know it.

This group is only 47 members strong but there are some tag alongs. These people are holding up the Speaker’s plans and if they continue to do so, perhaps we may survive without this thing. These Blue Dogs need to understand that they have a choice to make. It is either big government and political retirement. Or it is small government and a chance at a future.
