The disgrace we are about to become

Nationalized Health care.

I am simply speechless as I watch the federal government make more stealth moves with the intent to bolster and push through their end goals of nationalizing the one thing we in the U.S. can hold dear, and that is the level of excellence private hospitals strive for with regards to health care and treatment of their patients.

In finality, the goal will be to make private health insurance unreachable for most, if not all. Standards of care will decline with the loss of both Doctors and nurses, as they evacuate the health care field simply out of desperation in watching it crumble, and feeling useless and unable to do anything to stop it.

I have spoken to several physicians who state they will retire. I know nurses who love their jobs for being able to help others, to make a difference. When you take these people and make it so they will be unable to relieve your pain, or are so over worked and soon to be underpaid, they simply quit caring. Many will leave the field.

This enables more lax standards in nursing to fill vacated positions out of necessity, and overloaded Doctors who can't properly review a patent's records. Under experienced and under trained nurses will deal with low pay and high levels of anxiety and frustration. All for the good of the country, right?

The move to make soldiers pay for their own health care through private insurance in itself is a disgusting disgrace. You have someone devoting their life to their country, to only have the Commander in Chief stab them in the back, and then tell them to go pay for it themselves.

If a soldier with a health care policy with financial lifetime limits were to suffer a catastrophic injury, he could reach lifetime limits in a matter of weeks. This could potentially leave his family uninsured in the process, and having to face future expenses with out of pocket co pays and deductibles. The madness goes on.

The very men that swear an oath to this country are about to be betrayed by the very Commander in Chief over them.

Today, Britain apologized for the horrors uncovered in a report abut their hospitals, and the lack of care and compassion that Nationalizing health care holds for our future. Read this article, and pray you never get sick.

"Health Secretary Alan Johnson said: "I apologise on behalf of the government and the NHS, for the pain and anguish caused to so many patients and their families by the appalling standards of care at Stafford Hospital."

So that's it? They apologize. Aww, how touching. How soothing that must be for the people that lost their lives, or the lives of a loved one.

"Between 400 and 1,200 more people died than would have been expected in a three-year period at the National Health Service (NHS) hospital, according to an investigation by the Health care Commission watchdog."

Once his plan plays out, no one will be able to afford normal health coverage. The goal is to bankrupt the insurance companies in no simpler terms than by using our military to do so. "We are losing in Afghanistan," Obama says. This means more fatalities and more injuries - expect catastrophic injuries like amputations, brain injuries, lifetime disabling injuries requiring lifetime expensive care.

No more Veteran's hospitals, no more funded care for those willing to give their lives. By bankrupting insurance companies, the remaining viable companies will have to resort to exponentially high rates that no one but the richest could possibly afford, thereby literally forcing our middle class into government funded care.

Now, we have Obama playing more tricks in his 3 ring circus.

"March 18 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama may try to push through Congress a health-care overhaul, energy proposals and tax increases by using a partisan tactic that would thwart Republican efforts to block the measures."

"The move would allow Democrats to approve plans to raise taxes by $1 trillion, create a cap-and-trade system to rein in greenhouse-gas emissions, and overhaul health care without a single Republican vote."

So much for his bipartisanship.

I saved the best for last.

"Democrats will have to decide soon because reconciliation, if it is to be used, would have to be included as part of the annual budget blueprint lawmakers hope to complete next month."

What more can you say? Seriously.


ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Edit for update - March 19: Seems Obama has now backed off the military private insurance. For now.
