Obama Is Dangerous To Our Health

When Obama had his stimulus package he pressured Congress to pass it without reading it. He did this by saying he was going on vacation and wanted it signed by the time he got back in four days. They did just that and now it is a big waste. This package was supposed to keep unemployment down to 8%, instead it is up to 10% now and still growing. It contains taxes on everything and money to Hamas totaling 900 million.

Now a climate change bill comes along and the same thing happens. Only this time it's Nancy Pelosi doing the pressuring. She said "we have to pass this before we adjourn for the summer" so they did without reading it even though there were notations written on the sides that should have been discussed. It passed in the House by 219 to 212 vote. Eight Republicans voted with Democrats to pass the bill; 44 House Democrats voted against it. This bill will cost thousands of jobs (a conservative estimate), double our electric bills, and add taxes to us from estimates of $175 a year according to House Democrtic leader Steny Hoyer to $2000 a year according to some conservative pundits. There is even talk the gov't will require us all to have special boxes installed in our homes to measure the amount of carbon emissions in our home. That's the government coming into our homes. Our only hope is that it fails in the senate.

Next comes Obama's radicalization of healthcare. I heard Dick Morris the other day warning about this and he said there are 800,000 doctors in this country that have to deal with 200 million people. When you nationalize healthcare that will up the ante to 300 million and something will have to give. Morris also pointed out that in Canada with their national healthcare people have to wait up to 8 months for colonoscopies and MRI-s and other procedures which is why the cancer rate is higher there than here. People die waiting for operations.

Here is Dick Morris' recent column on Obama's healthcare: The photo op was too good to be true. Health care providers trooped out of the White House and trumpeted their goal of saving $1.7 trillion of costs over the next decade in health spending. Now these drug companies, hospitals, insurance companies, medical device manufacturers, labor unions and doctors have laid out their plans in more detail.
And right there, in plain print, is the beginning of medical care rationing. Now that the cameras have been put away and the media is no longer watching, their secret emerges: They are going to cut medical costs by cutting medical care. Right now, they cite four targets. They plan to:

1. Cut diagnostic imaging tests like MRIs and CAT scans.
2. Reduce the use of antibiotics.
3. Perform fewer Caesarean sections.
4. Cut care for management of chronic back pain
These decisions will not be medical but financial. They will not be based on a doctor’s opinion of what his or her patient needs, but a bureaucrat’s and an accountant s opinion of what the new health care system can afford.
And you will not be able to bypass their rulings and pay for this care yourself. The rules laid down must be followed and private payments will not be permitted to override them. What we now call a private fee for service will metastasize into a bribe.
But this is just the very beginning of rationing. The total of health care spending now runs about $2.3 trillion a year in the United States. Over ten years, that’s likely to reach $30 trillion. So a cut of $1.7 trillion is a mere drop in the bucket.
More rationing is coming, and coming soon.
In our new book (coming out on June 23rd) Catastrophe, we explain exactly what rationing will mean and what it has done to patient care in Canada.
It’s not a pretty picture and Obama will bring it here soon unless we stop him. Forewarned is forearmed!

Obama is also proving to be a dangerous one indeed with foreign affairs also and very weak in the eyes of the world. He's turning our friends into enemies and enemies into friends. He says we shouldn't meddle in Iran, yet he has no problem meddling with Isreal telling them not to build anymore settlements. Dick Morris also says it quite adequately here:
In the meantime, Obama’s pathetic performance vis-à-vis Iran and North Korea cannot but send a message to all of America’s enemies that the president of the United States does not believe in using power — that he is a wimp and they can get away with whatever they want. A dangerous reputation indeed.
