No wonder Americans are increasingly opposed to Obama’s socialist, radical vision of a nationalized health care system.
Just look at what Obama will do to you, to me and to our loved ones if we allow him to succeed with his downright evil plan.
In the first place, Obama’s diabolical health care plan would kill many of our children even before they are born, because Obama will force pro-life doctors, nurses, and other professionals to perform abortions using our federal tax dollars.
Should our babies escape the abortionist’s knife, they still face a bleak future as, under Obama’s plan, our babies suffering from an illness, disorder or disability will have to stand in front of Obama’s death panel so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their level of productivity in society, whether they are worthy of health care.
Should they be fortunate enough to pass this Obama “test,” they will face many more obstacles through the rest of their lives.
For example, they will have to beg for health care under an Obama plan where bureaucrats have the power to ration treatment and medicine, where government bureaucrats and panels will come between you and your children’s doctors, where health choices commissioners will decide what care our children get.
As they continue to struggle to get essential medical care, our children and others will be forced to compete for scarce, rationed medical care with millions of illegal aliens, as our taxes are raised, trillions are wasted and our health care gets worse or non-existent.
Even those families who have some funds left will not be able to obtain health care as Obama’s plan will make private insurance, private plans, illegal.
Obama’s nationalized healthcare will not let doctors and their patients decide what’s best. Nationalized health care will mean fewer treatment options, and it will mean that real people might not make it if Obama is allowed to inflict his nationalized health care on America.
Particularly cruel is the fact that more American women are going to die of breast cancer if you and I surrender to President Obama’s nationalized health care onslaught. That’s at least 300,000 women who, facing cancer in the future, are likely to suffer under Obama’s health care plan.
Some of our young people may escape the clutches of Obama’s killing machine by joining our armed forces, where our troops and their dependents traditionally have had excellent medical care. But even this last, sacred bastion of decent medical care may be compromised.
First, because of how this socialized health plan costing over $10 trillion every year will probably bankrupt our nation in just a few years.
Second, an effort to reduce the veterans’ population may have already started. The Department of Veterans Affairs has a manual out there, a “Death Book for Veterans,” through which the Obama administration is pressuring veterans to end their lives prematurely, telling our veterans stuff like, “Are you really a value to your community?” and, you know, encouraging them to commit suicide. So, even our brave veterans may not make it.
As if matters weren’t tragic enough, Obama might use his overhaul of our present health system as a tool to deny medical treatment to Republicans. Obama could check voting registration records, possibly resulting in GOP voters being discriminated against for medical treatment in a Democrat-imposed health care rationing system.
The grim reality is that roughly 120 million Americans will be deprived of their current health care coverage.
Why? Because nationalized healthcare does not let doctors and their patients decide what’s best. Because nationalized health care means fewer treatment options under faceless government bureaucrats. Because nationalized healthcare means huge costs and higher mortality.
The rest of us—those who survive the early stages of the Obama plan—will have to fight for our health care from doctors working for the government at measly wages and where the government will decide what treatment we can have or can’t have.
Those of us who make it till Medicare can take care of us; don’t bank on it. Because in order to pay for his excuse of a health plan, Obama plans to slash benefits by cutting $500 billion from Medicare, which will mean long waits for care, cuts to MRIs and other imaging services, and will result in the government, not doctors, deciding if our seniors are worth the cost and effort.
Under Obama’s Medicare, cancer patients over 70 will only get end-of-life counseling and not chemotherapy.
There is, however, one glimmer of hope in Obama’s plan: The suffering of our seniors will not be protracted.
You see, Obama’s plan will make it mandatory that every five years, people in Medicare have a required counseling session that will tell them how to end their life sooner, how to decline nutrition, how to decline being hydrated, how to go into hospice care in order to cut their lives short.
Even for those who want to continue life, it will be difficult, as Obama’s plan will start us down a treacherous path to government-sponsored euthanasia—a plan where government will tell us when to pull the plug on Grandma.
So you see, we are talking infanticide even before birth and euthanasia during our golden years. During the in-between years, government will be making life and death decisions; government will be making decisions about whether or not you get health care or don’t receive health care—government will decide who lives and who dies.
No wonder more and more Americans oppose Obama’s plans.
“Decimate” may be too kind a word.
