The Problem With Universal Health Care
Government-run "free" health care sounds good in theory, but what happens in practice? How can health care be free? Unless we turn doctors and nurses into slaves of the state and force them to work for nothing, then health care cannot possibly be free. Who then pays for government run health care? Everyone. Government run health must be supported by new taxes. Already Congressional leaders are talking about taxing soft drinks or other food.
America's Suicidal Approach to Health Care
In May 2008, 64-year-old retired school bus driver Barbara Wagner received bad news from her doctor. She found out that her cancer, which had been in remission for two years, had returned. Then, she got some good news. Her doctor gave her a prescription that would likely slow the cancer's growth and extend her life. She was relieved by the news and also by the fact that she had health care coverage through the Oregon Health Plan.
It didn't take long for her hopes to be dashed. Barbara Wagner was notified by letter that the Oregon Health Plan wouldn't cover her prescription. But the letter didn't leave it at that. It also notified her that, although it wouldn't cover her prescription, it would cover assisted suicide.
An article in The Eugene Oregon Register-Guard discovered the Oregon Health Plan routinely sends similar letters promoting lethal drugs for assisted suicide for patients deemed to have little chance to survive for more than five years.
(as though five years of anyone's life were insignificant)

Obama's "Silent FOCA" Would Strip Pro-Lifers of Rights
What will be the result of Obama's Health Care Plan?
It will outlaw all private insurance, yes even the coverage plans you now have which Obama claims you can keep. "Abortion, which Obama has called “essential health care,” would be included in the minimum benefits of every health care plan. Colin Mason of the Population Research Institute writes about the Obama plan "Every taxpayer and insurance holder would have no choice but to pay for every abortion Discriminates against practitioners who refuse to perform abortions, who may face unemployment as a result. Will most likely lead to rationing of care for the elderly"

Canadian Legislator Seeks to Impose Euthanasia
No, I'm not referring to her aspiration for Quebec to separate from the rest of Canada. Lalonde's second favourite neverendum is far more serious to the well-being of us all. On Wednesday, Lalonde resurrected for the third time her private member's bill for doctors to kill you without penalty, should you request she or he do so, even though both the Supreme Court of Canada and a Canadian Senate committee has rejected legalizing euthanasia. Lalonde's private member's bill is benignly called Bill C-384.
This is what Lalonde said in the House on Wednesday: "The time has come for this Parliament to find a way to decriminalize medical assistance in dying, which is of such vital importance to those whose suffering can no longer be relieved except by this ultimate compassion."
Bogus Health Care Statistics
We've all heard Obama and the Democrats lament the "fact" that 47 million people are without health care. They don't tell you these people could afford health care if they wanted it and hope Americans will assume these 47 million are too poor to afford health care. David Limbaugh's column cites some startling statistics: "In the first place, the 47 million number is grossly inflated. The Congressional Budget Office survey generating it included those who were uninsured for any part of a year, despite the fact that almost half of these remain uninsured for an average of only four months.
Some 38 percent of this 47 million -- almost 18 million -- make more than $50,000 a year, and 10 million of them make more than $75,000. Of all the uninsured groups, this is the only one that is growing, because in a still-free country, they've made their own decision not to buy expensive insurance"

Doctor Resigns AMA in Protest:
"Today I learned that the AMA has issued an “unqualified endorsement” of the House Bill for health insurance overhaul. In my opinion, the AMA has sold out doctors, and most importantly, our patients, in supporting this government take over of our most private and personal freedom – our choices about when, where, and with whom we will have medical care when we are sick.
As a protest against their support of the House Health”care” Bill, I have resigned from the AMA"

Scranton Bishops Letter to Senator Casey Over Health Care Bill
The Bishops of Scranton have sent a letter to Senator Casey urging Casey to oppose Kennedy bill,"We urge you to oppose this bill and any legislation that permits the destruction of innocent human life". To quote the Bishop's letter, "The bill approved on July 15 by the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee sponsored by Senator Ted Kennedy is a matter of deep concern to us. According to National Right to Life Committee Legislative Director, Douglas Johnson, 'The Kennedy bill [and the House Democratic leadership bill] would result in the greatest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade.' Further, Johnson stated, 'These bills, which President Obama is pushing hard, would result in federally mandated coverage of abortion by nearly all health plans, federally mandated recruitment of abortionists by local health networks, and nullification of many state abortion laws. They would also result in federal funding of abortion on a massive scale.”
