Obama’s Solution to Health Care?

The national health care scheme that the Obama administration is currently attempting to jam down our throats is simple, really…check this out…

President Obama says he wants to give free medical care to the 42 million people in America who don’t have health insurance. But the truth is, government records show that an estimated one-third of America’s 42 million uninsured are illegal aliens. And another third are people who could afford health insurance but who have chosen instead to buy a better house, a better car, and fancier clothes than you have.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, only about one-third of America’s uninsured would be helped by the Obama plan – at a cost of up to $2 trillion to you and me.

Obama says he wants to increase competition in the health industry, thus lowering insurance costs by forcing private insurers to compete with his free government policy. And he says that you’ll have the right to keep your current health insurance plan if you prefer.

But the truth is, the Obama plan will euthanize the private insurance industry – probably including YOUR health insurer – and force millions onto the government dole.

If the Obama plan becomes law, millions of employers will be faced with the choice of continuing to pay for their employees’ private health insurance or to save a bundle by canceling it and sending their workers to the government for insurance.

To any employer looking to cut costs in hard times, that’s not a choice; it’s an IQ test. If the Obama plan is passed, millions of workers will suddenly find their private insurance canceled and will have no choice but to rely on the national health scheme.

Plus, millions of people who currently pay their own insurance premiums will be faced with a similar choice -and will simply switch to the government plan.

The Lewin Group – the independent, 40-year-old consulting firm that counsels Washington on health policy -projects that a government health insurance scheme will force as many as 119 million Americans off of their current health plan and into the “free” government plan.

This of course, will be an unmitigated disaster for every health insurer in the nation – and for every one of their millions of employees and investors. It will effectively kill the U.S. health insurance industry, render hundreds of thousands of insurance company employees jobless and hammer investors who own health insurance stock for massive losses.

Obama says his national health insurance scheme will improve the quality of care you’re getting now.

But the truth is, everywhere in the world that socialized medicine has been tried, costs have soared and its victims complain of long waiting lines for doctor visits and treatment.

No wonder: Since the government is paying for your health care, the government will have to decide if you really deserve the medical tests, medicine, surgery and other medical procedures your doctor would otherwise prescribe.

That means they – and they alone – will get to decide if you, your spouse, your parents and your children will get medical care that could save your lives – or, if due to age, mental condition or viability you aren’t worth the investment.

Obama says that by seizing control of our health industry – fully one-sixth of the U.S. economy – the government will save our nation billions of dollars per year in health care costs.

The truth is, only a drooling fool would believe such nonsense. If the U.S. government has proven anything, it’s that it is utterly incapable of effectively managing retirement, health care, banking or even its own budget. There are several government entities that have a status of “bankrupt”, such as: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, U.S. Postal Service, AmTrack, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the U.S. Treasury.

In light of these spectacular failures, the very notion of the U.S. government getting into the health care business is absurd on its face.

Even the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), has stated that Obama’s health care scheme is likely to increase health care costs.

According to the non-partisan CBO, Obama’s plan will decrease the number of uninsured people in the U.S. by about 16 million.

The price tag? CBO estimates that Obamacare will add a staggering $1.6 trillion to the U.S. budget deficit over ten years.

That’s a cost of $10,000 per year – $833 per month – for each currently uninsured person who gets health insurance under Obama’s plan. That’s equal to a monthly premium of $3,333.33 for a family of four.

Typically, according to the Millman study, a private policy for that same family of four would cost only $1,392 per month – 60% less than Obama’s scheme …

Worse: The CBO has a long and well-documented history of grossly UNDERestimating the cost of new public programs, especially health care.

How badly has CBO missed it this time? Nobody knows for sure – but in 2006, Governor Mitt Romney introduced a far more modest health care scheme in Massachusetts. In 2008, the projected cost was estimated to be $472 million. The actual cost was $628 million – 33% more.

Worse: Official projections for Massachusetts health care spending for 2010 range as high as $880 million – a staggering 86% increase over the initial projection for 2007.

If the CBO’s estimates are as far off the mark as Massachusetts projections are, the true cost of Obamacare will be more than $3 trillion over the next ten years.

That’s $120,000 per year – $10,000 per month – for each family of four it covers and SEVEN TIMES more than that same family would pay for private health insurance today.

The absurdity of it all
In summary, Obama’s hare-brained health scheme …

Only covers about one-third of the people who are currently without coverage …
Will destroy the U.S. health industry, deprive you of choice and force 116 million of us onto the government rolls …
Will destroy thousands of jobs and crush health insurance stocks by destroying the U.S. health insurance industry …
Will limit the tests, medicines and procedures your doctor can prescribe for you, your parents and your children …
Will give government bureaucrats the right to decide who gets crucial treatment; who lives and who dies …
Will cost up to SEVEN TIMES MORE than private health insurance, and …
Will go bankrupt – just like every other enterprise the U.S. government has run – and by doing so, will add trillions more dollars to the national deficit, sending interest rates and inflation soaring.
Speak now or forever hold your peace!
The great news is, millions of Americans are NOT buying the Obama’s hype, spin and outright lies about this deadly and terrifying national health care scheme.

At town hall meetings and gatherings with elected officials from coast to coast, they’re screaming bloody murder. By adding our voices to theirs, we can kill this terrible legislation before it kills us.

Here’s what you must do now to take a stand for yourself and the health rights of those you love:

FIRST, visit NewsBlarg’s petition demanding that our elected representatives vote NO on any form of nationalized health care scheme.

At the end of September, NewsBlarg will print these petitions and deliver them to the White House, to the leaders of both major political parties and to other key members of Congress.

SECOND, send an email to the White House and to your elected representatives right now. Tell them, “hands off my health care! Vote ‘NO’ on this terrible plan or face the consequences at election time.”

Your life and the health of everyone you care about hangs in the balance. Don’t hesitate … take action now!
