PRESS RELEASE

 

 

 

TIME TO SLAY THE GOVERNMENT HEALTH-CARE MONSTER

 

March 11, 2010

 

 

 

 

As we have been saying for some time now, the multi-headed Medusa –

Federal Health Care – is not dead. Mistakenly seen by some as a

“birth-right,â€

health care is simply a commodity like bread, cars, and cheese. Insert

the government into the equation, as has been increasingly done over the last

45 years and we will have scarcity, higher prices, more ill-health, and an

even-greater concentration of monopoly medical powers. Take the

government out and we will see the opposite. It might seem counter-intuitive,

but

that is how reality operates. Does anyone really believe that the

government could possibly produce and sell bread, cars, or cheese any better

than

private individuals? Is a service industry like health care any different?

Federal Health Care is artificial, stiff, synthetic, structured, coercive,

anti-freedom, and anti-organic. It is backed by bureaucrats, policemen,

guns, and prisons. On the other hand, true free-market health care (not

the ersatz health care today that is passed off as private) is organic,

flowing, non-monopolistic, pro-freedom, and decentralized. It is marked by

voluntary exchanges among free individuals. Which would you prefer? Slaves

love the former, to be told what to do, to not have to make choices. Free

individuals vastly prefer the latter.

Time to Kill the Bill

The purpose of this Press Release is to ask all of our loyal NHF members

and other readers of our messages to email or telephone their Congressional

Representatives, especially Democratic-Party Representatives in the House –

this week and next – and tell them that you want them to vote against the

White House Health Care Reform legislation. The NHF encourages everyone

to do this more than just once – be persistent. Now is the time for

health-freedom advocates to kill this Disease-care legislation in the House

once

and for all.

The new Obama-care legislation is not much different from the Harry Reid

Senate passed bill in that Federal bureaucrats will be in control of your

health care, and US. taxpayers will be giving more money to pay for the

philosophy of big government and bureaucrats “know best.†These people

push

the dangerous myth that the government actually has the compassion and

capability to manage and control the insurance market, as well as the bankrupt

philosophy that the concentration of even more power in the hands of a few,

unelected bureaucrats, is better than just reforming the insurance market

and letting people freely make their own decisions. Yet, it is a

snake-headed Medusa writhing with hidden, freedom-killing laws that also have

nothing

to do with health care.

Speaker Pelosi and Mr. Obama are working on their latest political

buy-offs with House Democrats who opposed expanded Federal payments for

abortion.

This is an important issue, but it is a distraction from the rest of the

controlled expansions in the final Obama-care proposal being crafted. Mr.

Obama is on the stump, playing the " insurance companies are the bad guys "

routine, as was done once before. This routine gets old; but, again, it is

nothing more than a straw-man argument meant to distract the audience from

the core purpose of the government health-care reform monster attempting to

be shoved down the throats of the country.

Among many other things, what is not being revealed is that unelected

Federal councils and commissions will be in control of what medical treatments

will be covered under a private insurance company-Federal cooperative.

Also hidden behind curtains are the facts that these people would change

Medicare for the worse and expand the Federal bureaucracy’s control with a

“

Medical and Cost Effectiveness†regime that will shut out true alternative

health care. There also remains the issue of forcing people to buy expensive

health insurance or else face paying stiff penalties (backed by guns and

prison of course). There are numerous other health-freedom and

government-control issues still in the Obama-care legislation. It is not just

about

eliminating pre-existing conditions exclusions by insurance companies. The NHF

believes that true health-care reform is, among many other things, about

allowing true free-market interstate competition among the insurance

carriers, not requiring consumers to buy their insurance through third parties,

broadening the scope of medical-insurance coverage to include a wide array

of alternative practitioners, ending the conventional medical monopoly, and

basically getting the Federal government out of health care altogether.

As Americans of independent thought and action have learned over the past

18 months, Congressional and Presidential elections do have consequences.

The final script for the shape of our new health-care system is struggling

to be completed in Congress. Americans’ Constitutional rights are once

again being trampled on, like so much trash, along with individual health

freedom of choice. The strong cry against this usurpation of our liberties

has been heard across the country, yet the Pelosi, Reid, and Obama wing of

the Democratic party are completely and utterly deaf to what the majority of

Americans want and believe is really needed. The truth is that the

health-care “reform†plan Congress wants to push through will result in

less

compassion, not more. It will result in more sickness, not less. It will

result in more misery and less health-care freedom. This is the biggest threat

to your health freedom and your health in years because virtually all

health-care monies will circle and be sucked down into the toilet of the failed

conventional medical monopoly, leaving very little left for the average

consumer to spend elsewhere!

The debate and political posturing will soon come to a head. Your help is

needed NOW to defeat Obama-care in the House. This is a critical,

tipping-point time in which you can maximize your efforts. Take action now and

over the following weeks to slay this Medusa that will turn us all into

stone!

[Guest guest]

Are you a spokesperson for the Republican Party?

We are one of the only major countries not to have a national heathcare system.

It is time to reverse that.

If National Healthcare is socialism, then so is Medicare and Social Security.

Let's eliminate those progams, too!

What a load of spewage. I suppose you are against medicare too?

I think you're just afraid that your taxes might go up a little

to help the less fortunate get some HC coverage. You probably

have a nice tidy HC program for yourself that is paid for by others.

 

This HC bill is only to help the people that can't afford their own

HC and gives them a safety net....that is all. It's no different

than SS or medicare. It's just to help those that don't qualify for

medicare yet...that is all.

Speaking from someone who has no insurance, you need to re look at this health

care bill, this is not a safety net, what do you think employers will do once

the gov starts offering healthcare insurance (and there will be loop holes for

employers to get out of paying for insurance ie not giving anyone full time

status). They are going to look at the bottom line and cut private insur. then

soon everyone will be on this, and have you studies this, if you are a senior in

need of something oh well here is some pain meds have a nice death. Same way if

you're in your 40s dx with cancer here is some pain meds have a nice death.

This is no way to run health care. I work in the health care and not only that

i do not have health insurance and do not what this bill to go through. It is

not in the best intrest of the public but rather a way to weed out. Please do

your research, read this bill closer as others in other countries how well they

like their health care and then ask what happens with seniors as we are all

going to be seniors some day.

Hi kahoona.

 

 

Any money that is taken from one segment of the population and

redistributed to another is unconstitutional no matter how benevolent

the basis.

 

I can donate my money as I like, but Robinhood was a thief. Stealing is

not right regardless of how much you are discussing. FDR disregarded

this fundamental, sacred Jeffersonian principle when he implemented SS,

a ponzi scheme somewhat paid for initially. This was repeated with

Medicare, but Medicare was never self-sustaining.. Today, Obamacare is

again attempting the same. Healthcare and retirement are not rights

despite claims to the contrary.

 

If the Federal government continues to grow, redistribute income, print

and borrow money without basis, and usurp individual rights in the

process... it will soon die just as have the fascist, socialist, and

communist regimes of the past. No business including healthcare can

thrive in this environment. It eventually cuts off creativity and not

self-sustaining.

This healthcare thing will dwarf that. We will be way more broke than

we already are. The government cannot run >health care. Wake up.

 

Let's not be too excited about this bill. It has no chance of passage

by accepted procedures... and, if it somehow illegally is signed into

law, you can bet that it will suffer a quick demise. But this is not

the REAL problem. This debate is taking our attention away from the real

issues. Our country is broke and indebted to >>China<<! If you could

somehow have looked into the future in 1960 and seen this situation,

who would ever have believed you when you related the story?

[Guest guest]

Have you considered why health care costs are spiraling out of control?

Consider the information on this page:

http://www.publicintegrity.org/articles/entry/1953/

 

This source monitors required lobbying disclosures. It shows that there were

4,525 lobbyists — eight for each member of Congress — to influence health reform

bills in 2009.

 

Businesses and organizations that lobbied on health reform spent more than $1.2

billion on their overall lobby efforts. Guess who is paying for that? Anyone

who has received medical care.

 

On top of that, this page shows WHY they are lobbying. To protect their

PROFITS.

 

As long those profiting have unfettered run of the hen house, we will all pay

much much more. The statistics you quote are nothing in comparison. If you

study models in other democratic and industrialized countries, you find that

they do not have this problem.
