Obamacare - An Illegal Abomination

Obamacare is an abomination, it definitely violates the Constitution and other federal laws, it will cost trillions of dollars, and it will result in very poor healthcare for all Americans. We had a great healthcare system in America, all that was needed was some fine tuning, not a massive federally controlled system.

Obamacare was based upon shocking premises. Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a chief advisor to Obama on healthcare is on record saying that healthcare should be rationed in favor to those "most productive in society". By implication this was a direct indication of denying necessary care for seniors, the chronically ill, the handicapped, and even babies / young children since they are not "most productive" at that point. Obama, himself, made comments (ABC News) about not having expensive surgery in favor of a painkiller, and having an "independent group" (not doctor / patient / family) decide what is necessary.

Cass Sunstein, Obama's Regulatory Czar wrote in a New York Times op-ed that healthcare rationing is both moral (he says) and good public policy. David Berwick, Obama's appointee to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services called for treatment to be denied according to "quality adjusted life years". This is all much more than conjecture, it is specific proof that by design Obamacare calls for the federal government to decide who gets what treatment, and certain groups of people will be denied if they are not considered "productive". It is as plain as day what the fundamental premise of Obamacare is all about. If further proof is needed the Stimulus Bill provided for $1.1 billion to set up a Federal Coordinating Council in order to "guide" your doctor's decisions. It all sounds like something straight out of Nazi ideology, yet all this is the verifiable premise of Obamacare.

Let’s look logically what will most certainly happen with Obamacare. The intent is to take on approximately 30 million more people under the American healthcare system. Note that the number can be only a loose approximation since our borders are not controlled and “undocumented” immigrants either by direct or de facto inclusion will be covered by Obamacare. The fact is this will immediately become an overload since we do not have the doctors, nurses, and the medical personnel and service to cover all the additional people. The direct result will then be - rationing. The scenario above…treating only those that are “most productive in society” will take over. It has to - due to lack of medical personnel and services. This is in the design of Obamacare and this is why they are setting up an “independent group” as Obama stated, or a “Federal Coordinating Council” as included in the Stimulus Bill. The federal government will ultimately make decisions on who gets what care. This is not a good thing and it is not moral as Sunstein says, in fact just the opposite. It is immoral for something like this to happen in America.

Does anybody doubt that Obamacare, still another federally run program, will cost our country trillions of dollars? This may very well be “the nail” that bankrupts our once great nation. Yet if we had taken our currently excellent healthcare system and took logical steps to improve it, it would have become even better while solving any existing problems without a complete government takeover. This should have been the approach by the leadership of both parties in Washington.

Why is Obamacare Unconstitutional.? The reason is that the so called “individual mandate” that forces all Americans to buy healthcare or be subject to a fine is a direct violation the Commerce clause of the Constitution. The Commerce clause provides for the federal government “to regulate Commerce with foreign nations and with the Indian tribes”. Not to force people to buy something or fine them if they don’t! Yet a very misguided Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, twisted Obamacare’s individual mandate into being viewed as a tax…even though the Obama administration argued before the Court that it was NOT a tax! Amazing.

Further, nothing has been said about the fact that rationing healthcare that will adversely and differentially affect seniors is a direct violation of the Age Discrimination Act of 1975. This Act specifically states that no federally sponsored program (such as Obamacare) can discriminate against seniors. The discrimination against seniors comes from the original premise of Obamacare ( Emanuel, Obama, Sunstein, Berwick and other specific statements); and by evidence: Stimulus Act and Obamacare itself calling for an independent group, coordinating council, panel, etc., and finally actual acts in violation of the Age Discrimination Act where rationing against seniors will occur….and it will, by design. 

In addition to age discrimination that will take place by federal panels that will ration and deny seniors necessary treatment, Obamacare provides for taking an estimated $716 billion out of Medicare to pay for it. This clearly means that reimbursement rates to doctors will be significantly be cut for seniors.  Already some doctors are refusing new Medicare patients...it will get worse.


There is little question that Obamacare is a direct violation of both the U.S. Constitution AND the Age Discrimination Act of 1975.

Obamacare was forced upon the American people against our will. That isn’t the way our democracy is supposed to work.  It violates the Constitution and other laws. It will drive our country deeper and deeper into debt; it will cost several trillions of dollars…ongoing… and this has been purposely hidden from the American people. In addition to what has been stated in this document, there are a whole host of nightmarish affects yet to be realized coming right at us soon. 

Obamacare will lead to higher healthcare costs for all Americans; to much poorer quality healthcare; to loss of jobs; it will negatively affect business; it will be a "nail" into our economy; and it will be policed by Gestapo-like IRS agents. Worst of all certain groups of people will be denied life saving medical treatment since it will be deemed by both the design of Obamacare, and by panels, to be too expensive for those least productive in society. How can something as evil as this become law in our country! In America?!     


We should not relent in our opposition to Obamacare; consider it a fait accompli and just accept it. We should not accept it. We need to get rid of it. We need to fight tooth and nail against it and throw it out. We need to instead take rational steps to improve the pre-existing healthcare system in America. It is VERY possible to do so and our healthcare system in America will be better than ever. That is the answer, NOT the illegal federally controlled abomination called Obamacare.

  

We Can Thank Obama For Crisis in Egypt

President Obama, in June 2009 commented to a BBC reporter, calling Egypt's President Mubarak a “stalwart ally” to the United States, who has “sustained peace with Israel” and “has been a force for stability.” At an earlier date Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, on an Arab television network in Egypt said, “I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family,” and added, “I hope to see him often.” With all his pluses and minuses, at least Mubarak represented some stability in the Mid East and maintained friendly relations with the United States. Critically important, as well, Mubarak had a peaceful and friendly relationship with Israel, essentially holding off other Arab countries that had radical non peaceful intentions toward Israel.

Then President Obama and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton turned on Mubarak and called for his ouster with essentially no plan on what would happen thereafter. His subsequent removal led to a dangerous vacuum in a volatile region of the world. Their answer was to back the Muslim Brotherhood and made statements to the effect that they were essentially a harmless group with good intentions. Yet all evidence and history pointed to just the opposite. They were and still are a terrorist organization that desperately wanted to gain control in Egypt and establish a radical Islamic state with hatred toward the West, the United States, and Israel. At that time Obama invited them to the White House while at the same time snubbing our proven friend and ally Israel and Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Although many were very skeptical at the time, the Egyptian people voted Muslim Brotherhood leader, Mohamed Morsi, as President. They did this placing a great deal of faith in the United States and President Obama's lead. The U.S. is the most respected democracy in the world...so they thought. It did not take Morsi long to show his true colors and he began to attempt to turn Egypt into a radical Islamic dictatorship. The predictable happened and the people, desperately wanting a true democracy, revolted. All across Egypt anti-Obama signs are displayed criticizing him for backing a terrorist organization.

You will never see or hear this in the media, but the truth and reality is that Obama's foreign policy, particularly in the Mid East, is a disaster. We can thank Obama for the current crisis in Egypt.


 

Immigration -Springfield, MA Mayor Applauded

 

 

Mayor Domenic Sarno is taking courageous steps to do something about a major negative affecting the City of Springfield. ("Sarno: No More Refugees", Springfield Republican, August 14, 2013). Springfield is a microcosm of what is going on across the entire United States. Our immigration system in America should offer compassion, help, and opportunity for those who want to seek a better life. Yet what we have is a situation that is totally out of control...anarchy. We are allowing our country to be overrun. Any rational country in the world has a right to control the level of immigration, and place certain conditions for the overall good of both the country and those who enter. Today, in America, we are not, and this leads to very serious local and national problems. This is not a partisan issue, it is a national issue that is now devoid of all common sense. At the same time we appear to allow politics and political gamesmanship to rule, not what is good for our country.

By allowing our country and localities to be overrun, as shown in Springfield, we invite substandard housing and code violations that create life, safety, and health hazards. It is inevitable that crime, drug trafficking, and violence increases. We are unable to keep up with language barriers. Immense strains are placed on the police department, the schools, hospitals and medical services. The economic well being of the entire community suffers, to the detriment of all, including those who are immigrants.

The call is for a "comprehensive immigration policy", as if immigration were something new to America. Yet for many years we DID have a policy, we just seem to have thrown it away for some twisted political purposes. My father came to this country as an Italian immigrant. Prior to entry he had to meet certain health requirements and have vaccinations against prevalent diseases at that time. He entered legally with a visa / green card. Upon entry he couldn't speak a word of English, but he learned the language and started a small business. He became a U.S. citizen and was very proud to be an American. He assimilated so much that he seldom even spoke Italian in the home. There is your "comprehensive immigration policy"!! We already had it. Our government at that time was rational and controlled both the level and conditions of entry. Millions of immigrants came to this country and bettered themselves and bettered our country. Yet we have allowed our then existing rational immigration system that worked to be eroded by politics.

What is needed all across our country, starting at the local level, is to have mayors of our cities, such as Mayor Sarno, to speak up and to take action. To have responsible governors, who care about their state and our nation to put politics aside..and do what is best. We should all support Mayor Sarno's good example of rational compassion.

 

ALARM! Our Freedoms and Our Democracy Threatened

 

 

The Fourth Amendment to the Untitled States Constitution guards against unreasonable searches. Yet today we have in some cases what amounts to blanket warrants, and in other cases what amounts to no warrants at all by our government that are clear violations of the Fourth Amendment. If we stand back and look at what is going on in America, in totality, there is an alarming pattern present. All Americans, irrespective of party affiliation, should be deeply concerned. It is not only a threat to our freedom, but a threat to our very democracy. This is all being done under the banner of "for our safety and protection".

The National Security Agency (NSA) is now taking a blanket look at our phone calls and E-mails, not for probable cause limited in scope according to specific information supplied to an issuing court, on a case by case basis. We are deploying drones in the United States supposedly to help with "civilian missions", spying on Americans. Many city streets all throughout America have surveillance cameras present, as well as in buildings, public and otherwise. And it is increasing. Lojack and black boxes are installed in automobiles, generally without your knowledge or permission, used for tracking your auto and for other information about your driving. The black boxes in the future are going to become even more sophisticated, a major invasion on your privacy. Your mobile phone registers its position with cell towers every few minutes, whether the phone is being used or not.

If you are not carrying a cell phone there are now automatic license plate scan readers. Their use is rapidly spreading throughout the country, but the public has little information about how they are used to track motorist movements, and whether police departments pool this information in state, regional, or national data bases. Have a navigation system or other GPS device? Well this is still another method of tracking you.

  

With satellite imagery they can easily find your home or other location and get the EXACT coordinates of your front window.  Do you feel safe?  Protected by our government?  Or is it just the opposite? Not only is your privacy invaded...you can feel threatened!  

Recently the Justice Department was spying on journalists from the Associated Press and Fox News; and most probably others. The IRS and other government agencies, acted illegally and in unison, were harassing Americans who hold opposing views. In America! Whistle blowers on government wrong doings were harassed, threatened, demoted and fired.

  

All of this is now occurring in America. "You are being watched." Oh yes, it is all for your safety and protection...protected by our government with and without your knowledge. There is a damn good reason for the Fourth Amendment! Yet you are being violated on a regular basis.

 

Our individual freedoms are being threatened. Our democracy is being threatened. It is a huge mistake to assume that those in government are all good guys just looking out for us. Look at history, look at repressive dictatorial regimes. Speak up and don't allow all this to happen. Look at it in totality. Do you trust what is going on in America with all these violations of your freedom?
