A member of our readership emailed me his thoughts on this whole healthcare situation and gave me permission to post his comments. I will not name the fellow, though, because of his job. His opining here just might make his life a tad difficult.
Mr. Huston,
I very much appreciate all conservative’s continued focus and analysis on what is happening in the so-called Health Care reform debate.
Unfortunately, all of you may be too late politically to stop this from happen unless the public can be alerted to what is going on right now.
Well, the cat is out of the bag - Snowe voted to keep the individual mandate so its very likely that she and the blue dogs will sell us out the Baucus bill or Wyden-Bennett fake compromises…..
The Individual Mandate, not the so-called public option is the key to stopping Obamcare in its tracks. Stop the Individual Mandate and the whole bill will unravel for lack of funding and mandatory participation in the scheme!
Senator Bunning offered an Amendment in the Finance committee today to kill the Individual Mandate in the Bacus bill - it failed by 14-9 vote - a bad result for stopping Obamacare…..
All Republicans except Snowe voted Against the Individual Mandate - now we know were they stand…
All Dems voted for it….of course
This is NOT a good result……If Snowe voted for it, then she is likely to vote for a Fake “compromise” bill with mandates…..and will vote for closure with D…..
Well, the true supporters cant hide now - they will push the defacto takeover with the Individual Mandate!
This is a very dangerous period because Nationalization will still occur even without an overt government run insurance plan like this “public option” provision everyone keeps fixating on - Wyden/Bennett and the Baucus bill are prime examples of this.
Here are the core elements what will be contained in the “health care reform compromise” after the so-called “public option” is in all likelihood dropped:
(a) Federal Regulation aka HEALTH CZAR/DEATH PANELS
(b) Employer/Individual Mandates aka NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE
(c) Government Subsidies aka MIDDLE CLASS MEDICAL WELFARE
With the Federal Government setting the rules, forcing everyone to participate, and is paying the bills for most of the middle class through subsidies how is this anything other than Nationalization?
Here is a great link from a CATO study by Micheal Cannon about how the takeover will work without a public option or COOP:
People need to be up in arms about this - they need to Flood Senator Snowe’s email, etc to get her to change this vote NOW!
Also, the so-called “blue dogs” need to be targeted too - they need to know we are on to their support for a de facto takeover…..
We are in bad shape I fear now - Rahm Emanuel is likely right and we are on track to pass this so-called “bi-partisan compromise” - but at least we know what is going on now and can mount a reaction….
Sean has had several great features and is leading the charge against the Obamacare bill but he has spoken out directly against these Individual Mandates - I just wish he and the rest of the conservative media would get a clue and catch on soon before its too late….
We should be attacking these Individual Mandates daily! Conservatives - please continue to do your utmost to alert the conservative media and the GOP Senators and Representatives about what is going on here with Obamacare!
This is the “bridge over” or foot in the water they need to get to fully socialized medicine!
And the Individual Mandate should be an easy target for conservatives and the GOP to attack since Obama has done a huge 180 from his campaign promises!
From the mouth of then Candidate Obama:
“If you look at auto insurance, in California there’s mandatory auto insurance,” Obama explained. “Twenty-five percent of the folks don’t have it. The reason is because they can’t afford it. So John and I, we’re not that different in this sense; that I’m committed to starting the process. Everybody who wants it can buy it and it’s affordable. If we have some gaps remaining, we will work on that. You take it from the opposite direction, but you’re still going to have some folks who aren’t insured under your plan, John, because some of them will simply not be able to afford to buy the coverage they’re offered.”
Can we see some flip-flop or liar adds please?
Why are we blowing this golden opportunity to stop Obamacare in its tracks?”"
I don’t know if this meets your publication standards but I hope so….
I would also need to publish anonymously due to my service on active duty - that does’nt need to be brought into the HC debate as that would be misconstrued by people in opposition and used to hurt me personally.
In any case, trying to help the cause with this piece - thanks for your efforts
