President Obama may have let the cat out of his frightening bag when he, hoping to gather more votes for the enormously dangerous healthcare measure, said to an Ohio audience, “We are only a few days away from fundamentally transforming America.”

Yes, that’s what he said. He didn’t merely seek votes for the healthcare bill. He sought support for “fundamentally transforming America.” It shouldn’t require a degree in rocket science or a Ph.D. in politics to understand that this measure includes far more than doctor-patient relationships, rationed hospitalization, and prescriptions for whatever ails anyone.

The healthcare industry is one-sixth of America’s economy. It involves everyone. Its record in America is second to none worldwide. And it is threatened as never before into becoming another bureaucratic swamp that will eat away at its worth and transform free-enterprise America into another socialistic despotism.

The decisive ball is in the court of the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives.  Within the bill’s huge number of pages are so many violations of constitutional limitations that the mind is boggled at believing that any member of Congress would support it.

Dr. Stephen Fraser practices medicine in Indianapolis. He read the entire bill and, noting what he saw on its specific pages, he listed over 40 reasons why it should be defeated. He points out that the government will audit the books of employers who self-insure, that there will be a government committee deciding what treatments a patient will get, and that healthcare will be provided to all non-citizens whether they are legally here or not.

He saw in the text of the measure a requirement for a national ID card, power for government to access the bank account of anyone seeking treatment, rationing of healthcare, establishing salaries for doctors, promotion of euthanasia and assisted suicide, even one-size-fits-all designation of doctors with no allowance for those with advanced training and skills.

Texas constitutional attorney Michael Connelly concurs that the bill establishes rationing of healthcare. He also claims that it will force medical professionals to participate in abortion, force private insurers out of business, and leave all decision about healthcare in the hands of federal bureaucrats. He adds that it violates the Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Tenth Amendments and he wonders how any legislator who has sworn an oath to abide by the entire Constitution can give his approval.

I asked my own family physician for his opinion. He said simply, “I feel as though they have put a bulls eye on my back.”  A newly proud U.S. citizen, he came here from South Africa to escape socialism. He now faces what he fled — and the rest of the countrymen he now calls his fellow Americans face it as well.

We can hope — and we can pray — that there will be a sufficient number of No votes to defeat this terrible measure from Mr. Obama’s plan. It should not be forgotten that said the measure would amount to “fundamentally transforming America.”

They don't care anymore The Neocons grow unconstitutional powers through unconstitutional wars and possibly even false flag operations. The Dems join the band wagon through nationalizing health care and social services. It all leads one way: Communism. China is very pleased!! Soon when the McCain Leiberman Beligerant enemy act passes, the Chinese will have the unstoppable twin Big Brother here they are asking for. What a trading partner!

Healthcare The government already pays for nearly 80% of the cost of healthcare while insurance reaps big profits off of the remaining 20%. Why is it that some people get to treat medical care as a right paid for by the taxpayer? Yet when that same taxpayer is faced with a medical crises he has to treat it like the costly priviledge it is with the possibility of going bankrupt?
