(USA Today) Sunday evening the House finally approved a major portion of one of President Obama's top priorities and that was the passage of the healthcare bill by a vote of 219-212. The passage of this bill is considered a historic restructuring of the nation's healthcare system. Undoubtedly the passage of this bill is very historic, but it's not good for America. Instead, it could prove to be America's downfall. This bill will place one-sixth of the nation's economy in the hands of the Federal government. There were no Republican supporters of this bill. There also were a few Democrats who voted against the bill. Yesterday President Obama had struck a deal with Michigan Congressman Bart Stupak to issue an executive order which would prohibit federal funds from being used to support abortions. In other words, it would make sure the Hyde Amendment would stay intact. However, the Hyde Amendment applied primarily to Medicaid funding. Rep. Jean Schmidt, R-OH stated that Obama's executive order is "not worth the paper it's printed on." The National Right to Life Committee said an executive order didn't carry any weight. "The executive order promised by President Obama was issued for political effect," said Schmidt. I believe she's on target. President Obama's the most pro-abortion president in our nation's history. There's no way that you are going to convince me that he will stick by that order. He did that in order to lure Stupak and other pro-life Democrats into voting for the bill. That's what is was about. President Obama and the Democratic leadership were involved in all sorts of briberies to pressure the undecided Democrats into voting for this bill. President Obama had cancelled his Asian trip for the purpose of persuading Congressmen to vote for this bill.
This plan would at least cost $940 billion dollars. It will be an overhaul of our nation's healthcare system. "This is what change looks like," Obama said in the East Room of the White House just before midnight, with Vice-President Biden at his side. "We proved that this government, a government of the people and by the people, still works for the people." This legislation will raise taxes largely on the wealthly (also the middle class), and supposedly reduce future Medicare spending by about $500 billion. I'll have to see that to believe it. With so many Americans out of work, there's not enough workers on the payroll to provide tax receipts to cover this giant behemoth. "This legislation will lead to healthier lives," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. "We have the opportunity to complete the great unfinished business of our society and pass healthcare reform for all Americans that is a right and not a privilege." She also stated that they were passing this for the American people. No, they're not passing this for the people. It's those that pull the strings of our politicians that are pushing for this bill to be passed. It's not about the American people. It's about making the government the sole arbiters in a person's life. This bill gives the government the right to dictate the lifestyles of American citizens. The government is creating a "right" for all Americans that only is to be reserved by God. Our rights and our value as an individual comes from God, not the government. However, the government is trying to play god in the lives of the American people.
The truth of the matter is we don't know much about this bill and what it contains. Speaker Pelosi said that they needed to pass this bill so the American people can see what it contains. That's backwards. Before this bill was passed, the American people should've known what this bill contained. Even the grandson of President Harry Truman was skeptical about this bill. Clifton Truman Daniel said, "How much damage is this going to do? How good a bill is this going to be?" "My assumption is that it will improve things, but who knows?" His grandfather was a supporter of universal healthcare over a half-century ago. Clifton Daniel is a Democrat. However, the public is in the dark on what this bill will cover.
This is a very sad day for America. We have a group of elected elites that view themselves as kings and we the people as peasants. They will go to any lengths to push socialism down the throats of the American people--come what may. It may even cost the Democrats the November election. However, they're well taken care of and they will be appointed to some future government post by President Obama or a future president if they're voted out in November. This is just the beginning stages. This will help pave the road to fascism in America. It will happen in stages, but America is slowly on the road to becoming a fascist nation. The rate things are going, America will become a Third World nation. President Obama is expected to sign this landmark legislation sometime tomorrow. The next agenda for Congress will be to push for amnesty legislation for the illegal aliens.
