THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

This week I've received two very disturbing e-mails I put them here on the blog in hopes that you will join the fight to stop this downhill ride the President is trying to take us all on. It can only end in a mess that we may not recover from.

ON THE "ABC..OBAMA SPECIAL ON HEALTH CARE"......OBAMA WAS ASKED: "MR. PRESIDENT WILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GIVE UP YOUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE PROGRAM AND JOIN THE NEW "UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM" THAT THE REST OF US WILL BE ON ?OBAMA IGNORED THE QUESTION AND DIDN'T ANSWER IT!!!A NUMBER OF SENATORS WERE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS ... WE WILL THINK ABOUT IT !!!!IT WAS ALSO ANNOUNCED TODAY ON THE NEWS THAT THE "KENNEDY HEALTH CARE BILL" HAS WRITTEN INTO IT THAT CONGRESS WILL BE (FROM THIS GREAT HEALTH CARE PLAN) EXEMPT !!!!!HOW ABOUT THOSE APPLES.....NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR OBAMA OR CONGRESS..... BUT "OK" FOR THE REST OF US?

Investors Business Daily uncovered the fact that the bill makes the sale of new private insurance policies illegal! That is how the President can get around his "promise" that "If you like your current insurance you can keep it." Well of course, since the fine print makes new private policies illegal. When you change a job or if you start a new business you can't get a new private policy. You will be forced into Government run health care. Inevitably, all private options will collapse.
There is also mandatory "end of life counseling" for Seniors, regardless of health conditions. The counseling is required every 5 years and includes such topics as choice of antibiotic and nutrition refusal.
I'm not comfortable with all this focus on cost either. Cost concerns inevitably lead to rationing of care. When are we too old or past our useful equality of life to keep alive? (Do we really want what our Canadian and British friends suffer through; endless waiting lists and premature death?)
