National Healthcare Update

Now let’s see, where are we as far as national healthcare goes? The news of the day is changing so fast, it’s hard to keep up with what’s current and what’s old news.

Public support for a national healthcare bill, better known as Obamacare, and correctly labeled H.R. 3200, is losing much ground, as can be seen at town hall meetings being conducted by some of our representatives while they are on their summer recess. Most national polls show and correctly reported by Fox News, that the majority of American people do not want this national healthcare bill, what President Obama and the Democrat majority in congress are trying to get passed sometime this year. There are many news sites on the internet that report accurate and honest analysis of what’s going on with the issue of national healthcare. For me, as far as television, I don’t waste my time listening or watching junk from any of the “in the tank” for Obama and the Dems, so called news networks.

Getting back to the town hall meetings - I have noticed that it has been reported all over the internet, talk radio and on Fox News the negative response by some of our national leaders to the public speaking out at these town hall meetings. Nancy Pelosi calling them nazi’s and carrying swastika’s, another congressperson making a comparison to the KKK, while another congressperson decides to conduct a town hall meeting over the phone. Just because the people speaking out against the proposed national healthcare bill, that will be considered in the months ahead, disagree with it, they’ve been labeled as un-American, even mobsters and misinformed and more. Perhaps some of those congressional people are out of touch with their constituents or maybe they really don’t care what “we the people” think of this issue of national healthcare. What do you think?

Over the week-end, on one of the national news show, Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), stated “… that if we don’t have a bipartisan bill we’ll never be able to meet the goal by having a law signed by the end of the year…so yes we are considering alternative means…” Meaning, what is called the nuclear option, a simple majority of 51 votes in the Senate. As opposed to the 60 votes needed to stop any filibuster. Looks like, maybe Charles, doesn’t have the 60 votes in the Senate. If the Democrats don’t get any Republican support, and go for the nuclear option, wouldn’t that be ramming it down the American peoples throat? Do you agree?

Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT), believes that we should wait until we get thru the recession before passing any national healthcare total bill, no reason to do it all now. Question: Why are the Democrats and The President in such a rush to get national healthcare (govt. controlled) passed? Oh, maybe I forgot, it’s one of those national crisis situations.

President Obama and the Democrats have control of the Whitehouse and both the House of Representatives and The Senate. They can get passed almost anything they want to get passed. They haven’t been able to get national healthcare passed and the longer it takes them the harder it becomes. Perhaps they have been trying to get national healthcare passed before the American people wake up and realize what, exactly, is in HR 3200 America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. Well, I think that it was aptly stated by a person at one of those town hall meetings - “…you are awakening a sleeping giant…” Hope she is right -
Hey America - WAKE-UP!

A source of some really good information on this subject of national healthcare, play the YouTube video I have posted at the bottom of this article, it features Sally C. Pipes, author of The Top Ten Myths of American Health Care, A Citizen’s Guide.

One last question I will ask you - with this national healthcare - the question I must ask is - Do you want yourself and your family to be treated as a budget item by some government bureaucrat?

One last comment - Attorney General Eric Holder opens a CIA abuse investigation. That’s a good ploy, get the people off the subject of national healthcare and continue to demonize the last administration and the Republicans. Our national security doesn’t matter, the world loves Barack Obama, full steam ahead, let’s hear it for national healthcare, yea!
