Just Say 'NO' to Nobamacare!

Well, the ABC/Nobama Infomercial is now over, and it seems to be everything that it was billed NOT to be. And in prominent Nobama fashion, the President said 'a lot' and really didn't say anything new. In fact, if the American public has learned one thing about this President it's that we have to listen to what he doesn't say, read between the lines and take what he does say and interpret it to mean the opposite. I think that's what we used to call 'double-speak'!

I had to wonder how spontaneous the questions were because Diane Sawyer and the cameras were at the right location at the right time every time. Was this just a matter of Lady Luck, or were these questions pre-selected and planted? And given the history of Nobama's articulateness while thinking and talking off the cuff, I can't help but think that the President didn't know about these questions ahead of time, because his responses were smooth and absent of his 'uhms' and 'ahs' that are so typical when he speaks without being prepped or without Mr. Teleprompter. In addition, there were NO follow up questions or rebuttal allowed, and you could see on the faces of the audience the desire for follow up. In particular, it seemed to me that the president of Aetna and the president of the American Medical Association certainly had more to say.

Dr. Obama casually mentioned health care for children and the need for children to be covered. I'm certainly for all that, however, he left the audience with the impression that what the government is currently doing has support from the American public. Isn't that program called CHIPS? And didn't the child-hating, evil President Bush veto an increase in funding this program two times? Hmmm. Maybe because it costs to much because of inefficiency. But what we didn't hear from Nobama is that he slipped increase funding into one of the stimulus bills as an earmark - one of the massive bills passed that no one was able to read before they voted on it. And what about the Universal Health Care for Children in Hawaii? Do you know about that? Hawaii, a state about as far left as you can get had a government run plan for free health care for children. But as the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch, which is precisely what Hawaii found out. Once this plan was introduced people who were paying for health care dropped out of the private sector insurance to opt in for the government run program. That wasn't supposed to happen, but it did. And after only 7 months Hawaii had to discontinue the program because the government couldn't afford it.

Was this brought up at all in the infomercial? No. Do the words 'the government is out of money' and 'that's not supposed to happen that way' sound familiar with this administration? In fact, it's just the opposite. Dr. Nobama constantly says that if you're happy with your current plan you can keep it. But he never deals with human nature who would like to get something for nothing.

Dr. Nobama's ire was up when he talked about the CBO (Congressional Budget Office). This is a non-partisan group who crunches numbers based on the information they have and they try to come up with realistic forecasts of costs of government programs. Accountant Nobama doesn't like their numbers because it doesn't agree with what he wants the public to hear. He claims that the CBO isn't giving him credit for the money he'll save from Medicare and Medicaid and some of the other proposed 'savings' he has planned. Boy, this sure sounds like something out of Obamaworld with regard to 'jobs saved'. How do you measure what jobs are 'saved' when more people are getting laid off every week? Obama's savings plan is one that we can live without. In fact, our health and wallets would be far better off.

Hmmmm. Just takes some common sense to put 2 + 2 together. There's no free lunch! The American people on every level will pay for this government plan.

But one of the things that was most disturbing was Dr. Nobama's response to end of life care. He said that as a culture and society we must make decisions for ourselves concerning end of life. In the 'system' - code word for socialized medicine - decisions will have to be made to see what will help and what will not. Dr. Nobama said that there might be a point where the patient would be better off without the surgery and to simply take pain pills. Well, which government paid doctors will make that decision? What will be the criterion upon which those decisions are made? And will the medicine be available, or will there be a waiting line for Mom & Dad, Grandma and Grandpa to painfully wait in while they're waiting for the back order of drugs to arrive. This is what's happening in England and Canada.

And what about euthanasia at end of life? Who will make that decision about our elderly family? Will it be a doctor who is pro-life? The doctors' worldview and approach to when life begins and the sanctity of life is vitally important in decision making. None of this was specifically addressed, but reading between the lines and given Obama's record on the sanctity of life this will mean early death for many.

Why can't the government simply focus on the 15% of Americans that don't have health insurance and leave the other 85% alone? Why can't the government let the private insurance companies work out the problem among themselves while the government works on the 15%? That should cost a whole lot less that what Accountant Dr. Obama will propose and the bill Nurse Pelosi will write and ram through the House.

Freedom loving Patriots, there's no free lunch. And this is dangerous. Call your US Reps and Senators. Tell them you want bipartisanship on health care reform. Let them know that you want the liberty and freedom to make your own choices. Sign the petition. Stay informed America. This is your right. This is your liberty. This is your freedom. It's all about common sense and exercising your freedoms.

The Silent Majority is Silent No More.
God's blessings.
