Healthcare Reform

Public Option Health Care

"Obama and ACORN are hoping that people will be distracted with summer activities, and forget to keep up the fight against his single-payer health care bill. As he shuttles between PR addresses with Blue Dog states and the AMA, ACORN has already run a PR campaign of rallies for Obama's single-payer system, aka, government rationed health care! On June 24th Obama is using the state media to advertise his plan and on the 25th a big astro-turfed rally is scheduled at the Washington Monument, to demonstrate to Americans how happy they are about the whole idea!

Here is the truth:
- Medicare for all will create shortages in health care services, forcing providers to ration care and increase wait times for patients (12-18 month average wait in Canada)

-Currently, Americans do not pay taxes on employer provided health insurance benefits. I you have health insurance through your company, you are about to be taxed on those plans. The Government will require all Americans to have health insurance and will impose FINES on those who do not.

-The REAL GOAL: Government insurance seeks to eventually squeeze out and eliminate private health insurance companies, forcing Americans to rely on government rationed health care.

-The Government will have access and control over your health records, intruding into the privacy and confidentiality of the doctor/patient relationship.

-The current Medicare and Medicaid programs are flawed and full of corruption. What will happen when we add another 100 million Americans to the program?

-The President’s current plan will add another TRILLION dollars to the deficit, and many economists say that’s low. Another program on an already strained economy will bankrupt the country.

-How will Congress pay for their new plans? TAXES. The President said during his campaign that 95% of Americans would receive a tax cut. Yet he and his party are preparing to increase taxes on everything from sugar to electricity, as well as creating new taxes like the Value Added Tax.

-No one in the country is currently denied access to healthcare, so exactly why is the President rushing his plan for socialized medicine without thoughtful debate and consideration? There are in fact several very good health care reforms that would lower the cost of health care thereby making it more accessible to everyone.

-Socialized health care will end research for cures due to cost. Doctors will be retire early to escape the tyranny and thereby increasing wait time for treatment.

-Government controlled health care takes the decision making out of the hands of individuals and doctors and puts it in the hands of politicians and lawyers. If a government committee decides that your treatment isn’t “cost effective” and denies your care, what legal recourse will you have? NONE
