The Rush to Pass National Health Care Legislation

For the last few weeks President Obama and Congress have been working on overhauling our nation's health care system for the supposed purpose to rein in costs and provide coverage to those Americans that can't afford health care. Obama has traveled to different sections of the country to promote his health care agenda. He even had a primetime news conference on television trying to make a pitch for national health care. He said it isn't about politics or about his agenda, per se. He said it was about the American people and they're trying to pass legislation to give health care coverage to those that can't afford it. It's really amazing how many of our politicians use the term "the people" to push through a socialist agenda. Many dictators throughout our world's history have stated their purposes for their agenda is "about the people." "The people" has nothing to do with their pushing this socialistic agenda down our throats. It's about power and control. It's about creating a totalitarian system where the government has control over every aspect of our lives.

Obama made the claim we need to pass health care legislation because the costs of health care are through the roof. The question is, how are we going to fund it? With so many Americans out of work, there's not enough of a tax base to generate enough revenue to fund nationalized health care. It will be more costly than what Medicare and Medicaid presently are. If Obama thinks that we can rein in costs by overhauling our nation's current health care system, then that means the quality care that patients already receive will be drastically reduced. The government will determine who deserves health care and who doesn't. That's what it would be like under a national health care system. The type of treatment patients receive for their illnesses will be marginalized. Otherwise, there's no way we can fund health care if our doctors continue giving the kind of medical treatment they currently do.

Thanks to the help of the "blue-dog Democrats", those that are more physically conservative than their liberal counterparts, Congress will not be able to pass a health care bill prior to Congress's August recess. That's good news. Reuters and other media outlets are saying that's a major setback concerning Obama's agenda.

Why the rush for national health care? Part of the reason is I believe Obama wanted it passed before the Congressional recess is so that our elected representative's constituents can't sway them to change their minds once it is passed. Since it has been stalled, our representatives will receive ire from the constituents and it could affect the outcome of the health care vote once Congress is back from recess. Also, I believe Obama wants it passed quickly in case the Republicans come to power in the Congressional election of 2010. The Democratic Party's popularity is slipping right now. I believe another reason is that the powers-that-be that control our politicians want health care passed to make us a full-blown socialist country. They want it accomplished as quick as possible. The powers-that-be have a deadline in which they want that accomplished.

This health care bill that Congress has been debating on is so "great" that our elected officials will be exempt from it. That shows you that it's junk. If it's not good for members of Congress to use for their own health care coverage, then it's not good for the American people. The purpose behind national health care is to get the government's claws into every aspect of the lives of Americans. Our government is revamping our private sector and putting it under the nose of the government. They've already done that with the banks, AIG, the auto industry, and now they're trying to accomplish the same feat with our nation's health care system. The governent is transforming us into an European style socialistic country.
