Congress Trying to Ram Through ObamaCare by Thanksgiving!

Barack Obama is Trying to Force Americans to Accept Socialized Health Care 

ALERT: Just four weeks ago, over one million people travelled to Washington to take part in the "9-12 DC" rally that RightMarch was proud and excited to co-sponsor.

But now, even though we DEMANDED that they stop, Barack Hussein Obama -- and his partners-in-crime Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid -- are trying to FORCE Americans to accept socialized health care like Canada and Europe.

In fact, news reports say that Obama is demanding that "lawmakers pass a final bill by Thanksgiving" including a "strong public option" of government-run insurance -- and his cronies are ready to sneak his bill through using back-door methods...

But we have STILL have a chance to stop them!   Probably like me, you watched what was happening while Congress was been on their August "recess" -- tens of thousands of hard-working, patriotic Americans took time out of their busy schedules of work and family, just to come out to town hall after town hall and make their voices heard -- NO GOVERNMENT TAKE-OVER OF HEALTH CARE!

We also saw the response of far too many Members of Congress to the voice of the people: yelling at their own constituents, taking cell phone calls so they could ignore audience members' statements, planting FAKE doctors in the audience to support ObamaCare, removing audience members when they demanded to know WHERE in the Constitution it even gives government the right to take over our health care system -- these so-called "representatives" were suddenly faced by their actual constituents, instead of being able to hide in their offices in DC.

From the first tea parties in 50 cities in February, to the April 15th Tax Day tea parties in 900 cities, to the July 4th Independence Day tea parties in 1300 cities, to the town halls full of outrage during August, and finally to the ONE MILLION PLUS patriots who flooded into the Capitol on September 12th-- Americans have had ENOUGH "change", and we are DEMANDING that our "representatives" actually REPRESENT us, for a REAL change.

They ignored us when the majority said, "NO BAILOUT." They ignored us when the majority said, "NO FAKE STIMULUS." Now, they're trying to ignore us when the majority demands with a clear voice, "NO GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF HEALTH CARE!"

We MUST NOT let them ignore us any longer!  We all remember when President Obama stood in front of a joint session of Congress -- and LIED. He LIED when he said they weren't planning to set up "end-of-life panels" -- his cronies have promoted the idea for a long time now. He LIED when he said his "reforms" wouldn't insure illegal aliens -- it has been clearly shown that there would be NO WAY to prevent this from happening. He LIED when he said that his "government option" health care plan would not force taxpayers to pay for abortions -- the Obama-backed House bill would explicitly authorize the federal government insurance plan to pay for elective abortions and would explicitly authorize taxpayer subsidies for private abortion insurance.

The American people are TIRED of being lied to -- which is why over ONE MILLION of us are going to be in Washington, D.C. this week, to bring the voice of the MAJORITY to the doorstep of Congress. You see, the "sleeping giant" in America has been awoken... and we aren't going back to sleep... not while our own government tries to cram a socialist health care plan down our throats!

Dr. McKalip, the President of the Florida Neurosurgical Society, has summed up the liberal Democrats' plan very clearly:

The Majority in Congress and the President are promising to change the "status quo" by pushing a government-run-medicine plan (HR 3200). The plan would create rationing through government committees, FORCE all Americans to buy over-priced, politically created health insurance, create an economically unsustainable government-run insurance plan, and impose economy-crushing taxes. In fact, the President would break yet another promise by imposing a 2.5% income tax on each person who refused to buy government improved insurance. Further, after 2013 people would be FORCED to stay in their current plan for LIFE or buy only a government-approved plan since no further enrollment will be allowed in non-approved insurance. Insurance companies would profit endlessly from the free business of the mandate. As medical care demands increased and artificially high profit margins became unacceptably low (for them) they would join the bailout game. In other words, there would be absolutely no change to the status quo - just an expansion of more people into the currently bad system with the added feature of state-sanctioned rationing of medical care.

More than 88 million Americans could LOSE their private, employer-based coverage, according to an analysis of "The American Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009" released by The Heritage Foundation.

While Obama, Pelosi and Reid insist that "if you like your health insurance coverage, you'll get to keep it," it's now very clear: once again, THEY'RE LYING.

If the public plan is implemented as detailed in this bill, people with private insurance will be moved on a public plan, regardless of what they want, because their employers will make that decision because of the financial incentives in the bill.

That's not all: Yearly premiums for Americans with private coverage could jump as much as $460 per person as a result of more cost-shifting, which would stem from the public plan. Even doctors stand to lose thousands of dollars of income under the legislation. Annual physician net income is estimated to drop by 6.3 percent or $13.4 billion (coming in at an average $18,900 per physician) when compared with current trends.

Throughout the last presidential campaign, Barack Obama repeatedly promised the American people: "If you're a family that's making $250,000 a year or less you will see no increase in your taxes. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your personal gains tax, not any of your taxes."

He lied. Just 15 days into office, President Obama signed a bill expanding the children's health insurance program that was paid for with a 156% tax hike on tobacco. Since slightly more than half of today's smokers (53%) earn less than $36,000 per year, Obama's first effort at expanding government's role in health care also became his first broken promise.

But that first Medicaid expansion was NOTHING compared to the estimated $1.3 trillion health care plan Congress is considering now. And how is Obama planning to pay for it? Tax hikes -- including employer health care mandates, which are really just a TAX on low-income workers, since employers will have to lower pay and cut jobs because of the tax penalties on them.

Is THIS "change we can believe in"??? NO -- and that means WE have to take action NOW!   Barack Obama is insisting that "we have to do something NOW" about our "health care crisis" in America, to "stem the rising costs of health care." But isn't that what he said about his so-called "stimulus" package -- the one that is now costing in the TRILLIONS of dollars, and isn't helping anything -- in fact, is making our economy WORSE?

FoxNews reported that the Congressional Budget Office has projected that the House legislation will cost $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion over 10 years, depending on the plan adopted. The price tag sent shock waves through Washington and beyond -- as it SHOULD.

But the CBO can only project out 10 years by law. Other projections based on CBO's numbers and extending into the future show the bill could EXPLODE the deficit once the benefits are fully implemented. One estimate by the Republican staff of the House Ways and Means Committee estimated the deficit would increase by $759 billion over the first 10 years the benefits are fully in effect, which is in 2015. Another projection of long-range costs done by congressional staff shows deficits in the 2020s of $50 billion to $250 billion per year.

On top of that, while Obama and his supporters claim the legislation will be "deficit neutral," one senior administration official acknowledged recently that the pledge does not apply to an estimated $245 billion to increase fees for doctors serving Medicare patients over the next decade!

We can't AFFORD Obama's plan to socialize health care in America!   Obama and the liberal Democrats in Congress are trying to insist that their plans for the government to take over health care in America isn't "socialized medicine" -- but the fact is, socialized medicine exists to the extent that government controls medical resources and socializes the costs. And that's exactly what "Obamacare" will do!

Everyone, even leftists, admit that Obama's plan for "public option" health insurance is simply a giant step towards "single payer" health insurance -- which is short-hand for a health care system, like Canada's, where the government pays all the bills. As far back as 2003, Obama stated very plainly, "I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer, universal health care plan."

Universal coverage is impossible without coercion; that's why the leading Democratic proposals would FORCE Americans to obtain health insurance, either on their own or through an employer. And what if you don't WANT to get the level of coverage that government officials mandate? You pay a fine. And what if you DON'T pay the fine? You go to jail.

There's absolutely ZERO evidence that anything beyond a basic health plan actually improves health outcomes, yet the individual and employer mandates that Obama and his cronies are trying to pass gradually make coverage less affordable by outlawing the leaner, less expensive plans. And you can be sure of this: if Congress enacts these mandates, we can say goodbye to health savings accounts as we know them.

And on top of all of this... the fact remains that we can't AFFORD this plan! In the face of an estimated $1.85 trillion federal budget deficit for FY2009 and projected trillion dollar annual deficits for the foreseeable future, how can anyone in Congress vote for this health care plan, which will cost at least $1 trillion over the next ten years? Plus, Congress is facing at least $53 trillion of unfunded liabilities due to its passage of the previous entitlement programs, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the recent addition of prescription drug coverage for Medicare. How can anyone in Congress vote for a new entitlement program for health care when Congress has not even begun to face up to this unfunded liabilities problem?

Well, they're trying to -- but WE can stop them, with YOUR help!

TAKE ACTION: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has now surprised the rest of the Senate, by canceling next week's weeklong Columbus Day recess in order to FORCE through Obama's health care takeover. Reid has often threatened to postpone or cancel recesses, but has rarely followed through. His decision to keep the Senate in session for the week of Columbus Day is a clear indication that Democrats are anxious � and are willing to do ANYTHING to get their bill passed.

Barack Obama told a meeting of the "Congressional Black Conference" recently that there comes a time when "the cup of endurance runs over." He's not waiting for America to be fooled -- he wants liberal Democrats in Congress to ram his government health care bills through NOW, and those Democrats are more than happy to agree to his demands. Senate Democrat leader Harry Reid has even said that, if the Republicans don't join them in voting for their bill, it will leave them "no alternative" but to use "an obscure but powerful" parliamentary TRICK called "reconciliation" to push it through WITHOUT them -- a "Democrat-ONLY" bill that does NOT represent the will of the people!

And if THAT doesn't work... The Heritage Foundation reports that leadership of the Senate is preparing a new SECRET PLAN to railroad the bill through the Senate in record time by using a seldom-used parliamentary procedure of passing an almost-blank bill and filling it in LATER:

"Right now, the Senate Finance Committee is in the midst of marking up health care reform "legislation." Due to Senate procedure, what they are actually marking up is a 200+ page conceptual framework of the actual legislation, not a real bill. That means that not only has no Senator even read the bill but, there is a high probability that the bill hasn't even been written yet. If the Committee sticks to their artificial deadline of completing work by this Friday then they would have passed a conceptual document reforming the nation's health care system, spending trillions, without ever seeing an estimated 1,500 pages of legislation, which may or may not be written."

Once the Senate passes a bill and sends it to the House, all the House would have to do is pass the bill without changes, and President Obama will be presented with his health care reform measure -- thereby transforming within a few weeks 1/6th of the US economy!

We CANNOT let the radical liberals in Congress -- and the White House -- force this plan for socialized health care on the American people! That's why we've set up our website to enable you to send a strong message to every single member of Congress, in both Houses, OPPOSING this outrageous plan.

We CAN do this! In 1993, First Lady Hillary Clinton tried to force a less radical form of socialized health care down our throats, thinking that they could do it since the Democrats controlled Congress AND the White House.

What was the result? 1994, and the Republican Revolution. The liberal Democrats are "shooting themselves in the foot" again by trying to pass even more radical socialized health care this time -- but we CAN stop them!

There are good improvements that can be made to healthcare. Obama said in his speech before Congress, "I will not accept the status quo as the solution" -- but we're not proposing the status quo as the solution, and HE KNOWS IT! Tort reform would lower medical costs by tens of billions. Removing barriers of state lines would do the same. These are things that CAN be done, without government taking over everything. But Obama, Pelosi and Reid just don't want to hear it.  TOO BAD -- because now they HAVE TO HEAR IT!

THIS ATTEMPT BY LIBERALS IS TO USE THIS PARLIAMENTARY "TRICK" OUTRAGEOUS -- and it MUST be stopped! Send your faxes right away to make sure these Senators and Representatives get a STRONG message, to REJECT the socialized plan of "Obamacare" NOW -- Thank you!

Please, take action right away to STOP this bill dead in its tracks!
