10 Questions for Supporters of 'ObamaCare'

If you are a supporter of Obama's Health care plan, answer these questions please.

Will Florida Ban National Health Care?

"In response to what some opponents see as a Congress that doesn’t represent their interests, [Florida] State Legislators are looking to the nearly-forgotten American political tradition of nullification as a way to reject any potential national health care program that may be coming from Washington." [Tenth Amendment Center]

More on the wackjob science czar the MSM ignores

"Are you comfortable with a science czar whose intellectual mentor is a renowned eugenicist?

Do you agree that musing about forced abortions, mass sterilizations, and poisoning the water supply to control the population is in the mainstream?" [Michelle Malkin]

John Holdren, Obama's Science Czar, says: Forced abortions and mass sterilization needed to save the planet

In 1977 John Holdren co-authored a book "Ecoscience - Population, Resources, Environment". This is noteworthy because Holdren has been appointed Obama's "Science Czar". In the book he makes the following statements and presents arguments supporting them:

• Page 837: Compulsory abortions would be legal
• Page 786: Single mothers should have their babies taken away by the government; or they could be forced to have abortions
• Page 787-8: Mass sterilization of humans though drugs in the water supply is OK as long as it doesn't harm livestock
• Page 786-7: The government could control women's reproduction by either sterilizing them or implanting mandatory long-term birth control
• Page 838: The kind of people who cause "social deterioration" can be compelled to not have children
• Page 838: Nothing is wrong or illegal about the government dictating family size
• Page 942-3: A "Planetary Regime" should control the global economy and dictate by force the number of children allowed to be born
• Page 917: We will need to surrender national sovereignty to an armed international police force
• Page 749: Pro-family and pro-birth attitudes are caused by ethnic chauvinism
• Page 944: As of 1977, we are facing a global overpopulation catastrophe that must be resolved at all costs by the year 2000

And this person(?) is the TOP SCIENCE ADVISOR to Obama ????

Obama's cost-saving measures include closing union oversight office

Boehner, Pawlenty Report: Gov't Healthcare Hurts Families

The report [by Rep. John Boehner & Gov. Tim Pawlenty] entitled “Capital Malpractice: How a Washington Takeover of Health Care Will Hurt States” found that it was imperative that any plan successfully deal with the problem of rising costs.

“A Washington takeover of health care will achieve neither objective. To the contrary, it will harm states and working families by increasing health care costs and empowering federal bureaucrats to make important decisions that should be left to doctors and patients,” the report authors concluded in an overview. " [NewsMax]

In the Name of Global Warming

" .... say what they will, "global warming" is neither a reality nor a religion. It is instead a "superstition." A reality is something that actually exists. Global warming has not existed for at least 7 years. Even the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's internal memos say it does not exist, and so do increasing numbers of noted scientists. A religion is a belief in a supernatural being, a system of faith or worship. Obviously, global warming does not fit this definition." [American Thinker]

Obama Regrets

Obama surprised the press today by appearing in the briefing room to comment on his jumping into a local police matter by calling the Cambridge Massachusetts Police "stupid".

"Is race "still a troubling aspect of our society?" Maybe so. But what is troubling about this incident, in particular, is that the President of the United States jumped to the conclusion that a white police officer "acted stupidly" in arresting his friend and fellow African-American, and expressed that view to millions of Americans even though (as he admitted) he had little knowledge of the facts. It is hard to see how that could be "part of [his] portfolio" or how it could contribute to racial understanding.

A simple "I goofed" would have sufficed. Obama's elaborate self-justification will only serve to extend the life of the controversy. " [Power Line]

Obama's assault on seniors

Obama, Pelosi and Congress believe that care for seniors costs too much. Their solution in the House and Senate Health Care bills is to limit specialist care for seniors. Read the details in this articla as well as in the fine WSJ article by Betsy McCaughey

This is how Obama plans to "reduce costs". If you wish to search the bill itself, download it HERE. Use your browser "Find" or "Search" function to look for key words.

'Scofflaw' Obama Grudge Against Cambridge Police?

Obama received 17 parking tickets during his days at Harvard between 1988 and 1991. He did not pay 15 of them until two weeks before he announced his Presidential campaign in 2007! This is how Obama has demonstrated his respect for law and order. The President is Mau-Mau'ing this conflict created by the Harvard African Studies Professor in order to continue exacerbating the racial divide. Obama has no intention of settling racial disputes in our country. He gains ground amongst some liberals by continuing the agitation he was so noted for in teaching his ACORN students many years ago.

The Cambridge Police Department and their Union have released strong statements refuting the President's (as well as the Mass. Governor's) inflammatory statements calling the Police "stupid", especially after both stated they did not know the facts in the case. See the video here.

“ACORN is a criminal enterprise.”

“The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has repeatedly and deliberately engaged in systemic fraud .... Both structurally and operationally, ACORN hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate. Emerging accounts of widespread deceit and corruption raise the need for a criminal investigation of ACORN." so says a report from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. [Michelle Malkin]

Just 25% Now Say Stimulus Has Helped The Economy, 31% Say it Hurt

Hawaii DOES NOT accept a Certification of Live Birth, on it's own merits, as proof that one was born in Hawaii.

[The article linked above is a long description of current activity on this subject. Below is a summary]

The issue of proof that Obama is a "natural born citizen" and therefore not eligible to be President (as required by our Constitution) is questionable for the following reasons;

• Obama has refused to authorize release of his Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth
• He has released a Hawaii Certification of Live Birth
• The Hawaii CERTIFICATION is different from the Hawaii CERTIFICATE
• The CERTIFICATE shows Doctor's name & Hospital's name (allowing further verification of actual birth location)
• By Hawaii Statute ([§338-17.8] Certificates for children born out of State.) it is possible for foreign born children to be issued CERTIFICATION (not CERTIFICATES) of birth as long as .....
  
• "a) Proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth "
• "b) Proof of legal residency shall be submitted to the director of health in any manner that the director shall deem appropriate"
• This system makes it possible for children born in foreign countries to claim birth in Hawaii !!!
• It does NOT circumvent the U.S. Constitution's requirement for being a "natural born Citizen"
• Obama's refusal to authorize the release of his Certificate of Live birth raises the probability that it does not exist.
  

Obama has spent over $1 million in legal fees preventing his Certificate of Live Birth being released. He has only released a copy of a Certification of Live Birth, and even the authenticity of that document has been questioned by document examination experts. When coupled with Obama's refusal to release most other records (college, health, Illinois Senate, Law firm) about himself, the suspicion that skulduggery is afoot is heightened. The court challenges to this stonewalling are increasing in number.

Chris Matthews Wrong on Obama Birth Certificate

"On the show [MSNBC], Matthews seemingly undermined claims by some that Obama never has released his birth certificate, producing what Matthews said was a true copy of it.

But Matthews made a false claim. Obama never has released his actual birth certificate. He has released another document, which state authorities often provide in lieu of a birth certificate, called a certificate of live birth. [incorrect - it is called a CERTIFICATION of Live Birth - clipper]" [NewsMax]

Universal Health SCare: A Path To Euthanizing the Elderly

"Here's something that should raise a red flag to all Americans, but especially seniors.. Section 1233 of H.R. 3200, titled "Advanced Care Planning Consultation," requires senior citizens to meet at least once every 5 years with a doctor or nurse practitioner to discuss dying with dignity." [... In A Handbasket]

The wrong approach

"It is shocking that Obama would attempt to overhaul our health care system -- this vast and critical portion of our economy -- on such a short timetable and in such a haphazard fashion. The public senses the absurdity of his approach. It expects Obama to act like the careful, studious leader it voted for. Plainly, though, he has shed that cover." [ Power Line ]

Does Ted Kennedy deserve his extended cancer care?

"Is Senator Kennedy's life valuable enough to dedicate millions of dollars to extending it another month, another day, another year? Has anyone raised this question with Senator Kennedy? I know it seems to be in bad taste to even mention it. But if ObamaCare passes in the coming weeks, you can be sure that that question will be raised for you and me, and our loved ones. And no, we will not have a choice." [American Thinker]

"You're going to destroy my presidency."

"A telling episode recounted by Senate Finance ranking member Charles Grassley reveals the Obama administration might be more worried than they are letting on that a Republican senator's comparison of the healthcare overhaul to Waterloo might be dangerously close to the truth" [ National Journal]

It also highlights the fact that Obama sees these Bills as "about himself" not about improving our country !!!

Tell Your Congressman to Get On Their Proposed Health Care Plan

" (C)ongressional health benefits are a lot "perkier" than those for ordinary citizens. Members are quick to note that Congress uses the same federal-employee health benefits as everyone else in federal service. They just tend to leave out three significant details that CAP's Ruskin points out. In addition to their federal health benefits, members of Congress can receive free outpatient care at either Bethesda Naval Hospital or Walter Reed Army Medical Center. For a small annual fee ($275 for the House; $520 for the Senate) they also get on-site treatment from the Capitol Office of the Attending Physician." This was written in 2000, so the perks may well have been increased in the last nine years!

Politicians Receive the Country’s Best Care - at Taxpayers' Expense

Obama Uses 'Signing Statement' to Ignore Congress - Just Like Bush

"President Obama has irked close allies in Congress by declaring he has the right to ignore legislation on constitutional grounds after having criticized George W. Bush for doing the same.

Four senior House Democrats on Tuesday said they were "surprised" and "chagrined" by Obama's declaration in June that he doesn't have to comply with provisions in a war spending bill that puts conditions on aid provided to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund." [Fox News]

White House Delays Release of Disastrous Economic Data Until After Obamacare Passes

The White House will not release the disastrous Obama economic data until after the Congressional vote to nationalize health care takes place.

Of NICE and Men

"Speaking to the American Medical Association last month, President Obama waxed enthusiastic about countries that "spend less" than the U.S. on health care. He's right that many countries do, but what he doesn't want to explain is how they ration care to do it.

Take the United Kingdom, which is often praised for spending as little as half as much per capita on health care as the U.S. Credit for this cost containment goes in large part to the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, or NICE. Americans should understand how NICE works because under ObamaCare it will eventually be coming to a hospital near you." [Wall Street Journal]

Inside the Monstrous Obamacare Bureaucracy

Here is a description of many of the new Bureaus, Departments, Offices, Centers, Coordinators, Administrations, Programs, Advisors, Counsels (and Councils), Networks, and Commissions being created to "manage" our Health Care. And they have the unmitigated gall to think we are stupid enough to believe this will REDUCE health care costs. There is only one way that can happen with this hyper-bloated bureacracy in charge and that is to REDUCE THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY of every aspect of health care.

Here's What Health Care Bills Bring You

"PRESIDENT Obama promises that "if you like your health plan, you can keep it," even after he reforms our health-care system. That's untrue. The bills now before Congress would force you to switch to a managed-care plan with limits on your access to specialists and tests.

There's plenty of waste in Medicare, but the Congressional Budget Office estimates only 1 percent of the savings under the legislation will be from curbing waste, fraud and abuse. That means the rest will likely come from reducing what patients get. "

AND IF THIS DOESN'T SCARE THE HELL OUT OF YOU, KEEP READING ............................

"One troubling provision of the House bill compels seniors to submit to a counseling session every five years (and more often if they become sick or go into a nursing home) about alternatives for end-of-life care (House bill, p. 425-430). The sessions cover highly sensitive matters such as whether to receive antibiotics and "the use of artificially administered nutrition and hydration." " [New York Post]

Politics is in charge now at GM, Chrysler

"On July 6th, GM dealers received a lengthy letter from the General Motors National Dealer Council informing them that the Council strongly opposes H.R. 2743, the "Automobile Dealer Economic Rights Restoration Act of 2009." "

"This letter urged the dealers to sign a sort of petition to Congress immediately; no later than 5:00 p.m. the very next day, saying that they opposed passage of the bill. In fact, GM has given dealers talking points - and even a telephone script - to use while talking to their members of Congress." [Washington Examiner]

Does the Democratic Health Care Plan Ban Private Insurance?

"Is this a fair reading of the current House health care plan? Not quite. The bill doesn't exactly "ban" private insurance. Rather, the quoted provision is a "grandfather" clause that allows insurance plans that are not "qualified health benefits plans" to remain in existence for a limited time after the "reform" bill is enacted. Those plans--the ones that don't provide all the coverages demanded in order to "qualify" under the proposed statute--are indeed prohibited from enrolling new members." [Power Line]

This will, of course, drive all private insurance companies out of business if they cannot enroll new members into their plans, which out of necessity would not meet the government's definition of "qualified". We will then have only U.S. Government controlled and managed health care ....... just like the U.S. Postal Service, Amtrak, the IRS and those many other enterprises we all like so much.

Obama's Science Czar, says: Forced abortions and mass sterilization needed to save the planet

"Forced abortions. Mass sterilization. A "Planetary Regime" with the power of life and death over American citizens.

The tyrannical fantasies of a madman? Or merely the opinions of the person now in control of science policy in the United States? Or both?

These ideas (among many other equally horrifying recommendations) were put forth by John Holdren, whom Barack Obama has recently appointed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology -- informally known as the United States' Science Czar. In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977, the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that:

• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation's drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who "contribute to social deterioration" (i.e. undesirables) "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility" -- in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational "Planetary Regime" should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans' lives -- using an armed international police force. " [Zombietime]

"As the public's enthusiasm for a major new energy tax wanes, advocates of the administration's "cap and trade" emissions proposal have found a new justification: national security. We should adopt a cap and trade energy tax, they say, because this will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and thus strengthen America's national security. It is unsurprising that national security would be the last refuge of a policy that cannot be sold on its merits. But "energy independence" is a mantra that has been around for decades, with adherents across the political spectrum. Does it really wash as a rationale for cap and trade?" [Weekly Standard]

"In the late 1970s, the state of California enacted tougher energy-efficiency policies," Obama said, noting that the state and its residents use less energy today per capita than the national average.

Cap and Trade Dementia

"Barack Obama called for House passage of the cap and trade tax bill last Friday by calling it a jobs bill. The bill is designed to raise the price of energy in the U.S. so much that it will reduce the use of fossil fuels by 17% by 2020 and by 83% by 2050. Sentencing the U.S. economy to high cost energy is not a particularly good strategy for creating jobs. The Charles River Associates, a Harvard based economics consulting firm, estimates a net loss of jobs from the bill of about 2.5 million each year." [American Spectator]
