Words of caution as the healthcare debate ramps up

Unless you have been living under a rock the last week or so then you have seen and heard many of the same things I have regarding the debate over what is commonly referred to as Obamacare-the current government subsidized healthcare proposal currently before our Congress…

I must say that I am disappointed by the people who are blatantly attacking their elected officials for trying to force this bill on us. Emotions are running very high all over the nation over this bill, but yelling and screaming and losing our heads over it will do nothing but make those of us who stand against this bill out to be villainous. However, the most ridiculous aspect to all of these debates is the things being said from supporters of Obamacare.

Supporters are claiming that Obamacare will not restrict what sort of benefits we can have under this plan; that this plan does not limit the benefits of “special needs” patients; that this bill will not destroy our health care system as we know it.

They are also sticking to their claims that this bill is intended to level the playing field on health care so that all have it and that it is affordable to all, and that it will, in the long term, make the industry better for all of us.

To those who make these claims I have a question for you: have you read this bill? Do you have any clue as to what this bill says? You obviously haven’t and since that appears to be blatantly true then I strongly recommend that you do. At the very least look down a couple of posts on my blog to my post of a few days ago in which I actually attempted to debunk 10 accusations made against Obamacare only to find that, yes, they were TRUE!! Every last one of them, in at least a small way, could be true. In fact, most of them were 100% true and those who are claiming otherwise are full of shit up to their eye balls (that’s right I swore, get over it):

They’ve never read where the bill says that it will establish an “exchange” through which all-that’s right all­-health care plans must conform too or be punished in some way.

They have obviously never read where the bill says that coverage is limited to $10,000 a year per family and $5000 per individual a year (to start).

They have obviously not read on page 50 of the bill where it says that, under this bill, providers cannot discriminate in providing coverage for any reason.

They have obviously not seen where providers of Obamacare will not be able to reinvest in their own businesses-this includes hospitals.

These few things are just the tip of the ice berg of this bill.

Even more ridiculous is Mr. Obama himself coming out saying that the accusations made against this bill-specifically that it will leave out health care for “special needs” citizens and ration it for everyone else-were false.

Is he deluded or what? Obviously Obama hasn’t read this bill either-otherwise I’d have a hard time believing that he could so ignorantly say such things…

Experts, on both sides of this issue are now coming out and stating quite plainly that implementing this bill will effective destroy the health care industry in our country. One such expert claimed that Obama care could result in nearly 85 million people becoming uninsured due to soaring costs or their own plan not “qualifying” under the exchange established by Obamacare.

For those who are trying their hardest to get it through the thick skulls of those Congressional members of the Democratic party who are determined to push this bill through, I ask you to please use more patience and be calm when addressing them.

If you cannot carry a copy of the bill with you, then have your facts straight; know them point for point and make our elected leaders address them directly-either debunking them or trying to excuse them away.

What we need right now are cooler heads to prevail.

All this screaming and yelling and making idiots of ourselves will get us no where in the long run.
