WATCH OUT!

Watch out for the health care rhetoric of President Obama. He again is misleading the American people. For example, he has said that the American people need portability in their health insurance plans. They should be able to take their health plan with them when they leave a job. Sounds good! The problem is that the health care plan supported by Obama does not include portability! He says what he thinks sounds good to Americans, but what he actually does, is something quite different.

There is no qualification that the person insured by the "national health insurance" needs to be citizen of the United States! So, you and I will have less quality health care and WE will be paying for health care for illegal immigrants.

He said in his campaign that he would like to "reduce abortions". His health care plan would allow abortion "on demand" and we, the taxpayers, would be paying for all of it. Doctors won't be able to refuse to do abortions. It takes away freedom of choice in health care issues. The government will be in control!

The bill creates a "Medical Advisory Council" that will make decisions about which treatments are covered in Americans' health insurance policies. The council will answer to Obama's appointed health czar who answers to Obama!

We can look look forward to rationed health care, especially for senior citizens. Rationing health care is the only way the government can cut costs! If you have a problem with your care, or suffer as a result of malpractice, where are you going to go to get redress - the government? Good luck!

There is so much more! He again is setting an unrealistic time table and trying to push this through Congress as though it were a crisis situation! Something as drastic and costly as national health care should be carefully studied and evaluated. The American people should have a choice whether they want any particular program of national health care to be passed. Instead, we are getting an "unknown" health program shoved down our throats.

We also don't know how this national health insurance can be paid for! Now they want to put a surcharge on top of income tax for people over $350,000 per year. That covers most small businesses in this country. Seven out of 10 jobs are created by small business, but let's go ahead and put more of a tax burden on them. That will surely encourage them to create new jobs!

This is all part of Obama's goal to have government control every aspect of our lives, even our health care decisions. Congress is falling over themselves trying to push this through. We must stop it! We all have a lot to lose!
