Maxine's Solution to Senior Health Care

Under the "Obama Care" Program

Hi,

Does anyone see a pattern here..  I've noticed that contrary to what the government's spokesperson and the media are saying, anyone who has read one of these health care bills says the same thing..  We'll have rationed health care, controlled by bureaucrats, that will cost more, and still have nearly as many uninsured people in our country..  So why are these elected officials still going against the desires of the majority of the people that elected them and destroying the best health care system on the planet??  I know it isn't perfect, but then what is..  If you have a very serviceable vehicle you wouldn't crush it and start over from scratch..  Midterm elections are coming..  Please help your friends understand they need to vote based upon the candidate's record, not his promises..

 

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ THIS AND FORWARD IT IF YOU SEE FIT.]

The Truth About the Health Care Bills - Michael Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney  

Well, I have done it!  I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law.  I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.

To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying.  The law doesprovide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession. 

The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business, and put everyone into a government run system.  All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care professionals.  Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by the government. 

However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface.  In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices.  Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated  If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed. 

The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government.  The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people, and the businesses they own. 

The irony is that the Congress doesn't have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with!  I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care. 

This legislation also provides for access, by the appointees of the Obama administration, of all of your personal healthcare direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital.  All of this is a protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures.  You can also forget about the right to privacy.  That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide. 

If you decide not to have healthcare insurance, or if you have private insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the Health Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be a tax imposed on you.  It is called a tax instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn't work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the due process of law. 

So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law  It doesn't stop there though. 

The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people; 

The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people.  Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control. 

I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea.  This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights.  Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution." If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation.  If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me accountable. 

For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest they consult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

As Mr. Connelly stated this was HB3200 which has been modified and is still to be further modified as it is merged with the Senate bill so the final version will probably contain even more bizarre requirements..

AFTER HAVING READ THIS,  PLEASE FORWARD....

If you don't care about our constitution, or your rights under it, just do nothing.  

WE MUST HOLD CONGRESS ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

IF YOU DON’T READ ANYTHING ELSE, BE SURE TO LOOK AT THE QUOTE BELOW FROM PAGES 58 & 59!!! WOW!! Let's hear it for the Judge!  I read an excellent article in our local paper, the River Cities Tribune, published in Marble Falls , TX.  It was written by our former county judge, David Kithil.  He voiced his opposition to HB 3200, and gave EXACT SPECIFICS, to include page and paragraph in the bill on why this Health Bill is BAD.  Thomas Edwards, editor of the River Cities Tribune, was contacted to get legal permission to quote David Kithil's comments. Permission was granted, so here are excerpts from the article, giving EXACT pages and paragraphs in the bill and why it is so bad.  You can forward this to all of your email contacts.  I think Judge Kithil hits everything right on the head,and the opposition you may encounter cannot argue over these points:  JUDGE KITHIL wrote:  "I have reviewed selected sections of the bill and find it unbelievable that our Congress, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, could come up with a bill loaded with so many wrong-headed elements.  H ow many of us believe our federal government can manage a new program any better than the bankrupt Medicare program or the  under funded Social Security program?  "Both Republicans and Democrats are equally responsible for the financial mess of those two programs.  "I am opposed to HB 3200 for a number of reasons.  To start with, it is estimated that a federal bureaucracy of  more than 150,000 new employees will be required to administer HB3200.  That is an unacceptable expansion of a government that is already too intrusive in our lives.  If we are going to hire 150,000 new employees, let's put them to work protecting our borders, fighting the massive drug problem and putting more law enforcement/firefighters out there."  NOW, here comes the good stuff:  JUDGE KITHIL continued:  "Other problems I have with this bill include:  ** Page 50/section 152:  The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.    ** Page 58 and 59:  The government will have real-time access to an individual's bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.    ** Page 65/section 164:  The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as  the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN).    ** Page 203/line 14-15:  The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax.  (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?)    ** Page 241 and 253:  Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors' fees.    ** Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient's age.    ** Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception.    ** Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations.  Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years.    ** Page 429,  line 13-25:  The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.   HAD ENOUGH????  Judge Kithil then goes on:    " Finally, it is specifically stated this bill will not apply to members of Congress.  Members of Congress are already exempt from the Social Security system and have a well-funded private plan that covers their retirement needs.  If they were on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick "fix" to make the plan financially sound for the future."  Honorable David Kithil  Marble Falls , Texas      All of the  above should give you all the point blank ammo you need to support your opposition to Obamacare.   Please send this information on to all your email contacts.
