President Obama wants government controlled, socialized healthcare. At any costs. That is his bottom line.
As a health insurance agent, I agree certain reforms are needed. Carriers need to approve and cover more applicants, reduce premiums, and be held accountable. All of us agree on those reforms.
But few I talk to want our Government to be in control of our medicine and that is exactly what our liberal Congress is seeking with some bills currently being proposed.
Using scare tactics that our nation will self destruct if a bill is not passed TODAY, they are ignoring some very real truths.
1. The U.S. has the most respected medical system in the world. People from socialized healthcare nations like Canada and Britain now come to America for treatment. No one goes there.
2. Out 100 people, 85 have health insurance right now.
3. Of the 50,000,000 we hear about that are "un-insured". Over 10,000,000 of them are illegal aliens. Another large chunk of them are young and could careless about having insurance, and still another large group of people already qualify for Medicaid or Medicare and simply are too lazy to get it setup. I know, I personally talk to people in these catagoties every single week!
The current bill in the House includes other items you might not be aware of:
1. Abortions will be funded with Federal dollars.
2. Seniors will be required to have at least one "end of life" counseling session every 5 years.
3. If you do not have private insurance by 2012 the law will prohibit you from getting your own private plan, forcing you to accept the government plan.
4. Your medical records, which have always been protected as private, will be stored with a governmental office in D.C.
5. Costs will be controlled by determining procedures based on age and condition. For exmample, an 78 year old woman needing a hip replacement surgery will likely be refused in order to keep costs down. Example two, a 53 year old man with terminal cancer will be refused expensive drugs to extend his life and improve his final days in order to keep costs. Both of these happen in Canada and Britain right now.
6. This bill would add TRILLIONS more to our national debt! When is this spending going to stop!?
7. In order to cover the 50,000,000 that are "un-insured", the 250,000,000 of us with coverage are going to have to completely lose the healthcare system we have come to rely on and trust in.
There is much more being learned as details in this bill are discovered among the 1,000 pages. Most congressional members have not read the bill and neither has President Obama as he admited his recent press conference. (How can these morons on Capital Hill pass bills that change our entire nation and cost trillions without READING THEM I will never understand!)
This is why we MUST act now and slow this Obama political agenda down. He wants to change the fabric of our nation and few things are more important than us all getting the highest quality healthcare the world offers. He does not care to know the details. He only cares about his legacy to push us towards higher taxes, big government and socialisim.
If you and I allow Congress to pass this bill we will regret this move more than anything Obama has done thus far. Simply sighing and hoping for better is not enough. We all need to act today. Call, write and get involved.
I have.
Will you?
Use the links below to get the contact information for Congress here and make a few calls, emails or letters today! Conservative Democrats jobs are on the line and they know it. We can stop this bill dead in it's track. All we have to do is let our voices be heard.

Who Am I?
(from an email sent to me)
I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women.
I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer.
Later in life, questions arose over my real name.
My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.
I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.
I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.
That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career..
I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.
I became active in local politics in my 30's then with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit.
I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.
I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego.
At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy...... I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.
But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free.
I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks & corporations. I decided to start making citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.
I called mine "A People's Campaign" and that sounded good to all people.
I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support.
I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope' , together we could change our country and the world.
So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted minorities" like the Jews. My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.
I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with.
I'm glad they didn't. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.

Confused Republican Powell is Starting to See the Light
I have to admit, how Colin Powell can be a "conservative" and support one of the most big government, big spending administrations in our nation's history is beyond me.
But at least he is starting to come back to his senses as he made these statements in a CNN interview this morning on their State of the Union show.
"I'm concerned at the number of programs that are being presented, the bills associated with these programs and the additional government that will be needed to execute them."
"And I never would have believed that we would have budgets that are running into the multi-trillions of dollars, and we are amassing a huge, huge national debt that, if we don't pay for in our lifetime, our kids and grandkids and great grandchildren will have to pay for it."
"One of the cautions that has to be given to the President -- and I've talked to some of his people about this -- is that you can't have so many things on the table that you can't absorb it all. We can't pay for it all."
When the reporter asked if Mr. Powell was worried, he said. "Yes, concerned."
These words echo the statements he made below in 1996:
"The federal government has become too large and too intrusive in our lives," Mr. Powell said then. "We can no longer afford solutions to our problems that result in more entitlements, higher taxes to pay for them, more bureaucracy to run them, and fewer results to show for it."
