Healthcare Reform Means Socialized Medicine!

Dear Patriots,


More government control is coming! Obamacare is rationed care!

If you think we've got problems with our healthcare system now, just wait until you see what your government has in store for you . . .

President Obama is pushing nationalized health insurance via the so-called public option, which is the first step toward socialized medicine.

All Republicans and at least a few Senate Democrats will vote against this now. But the compromise legislation will almost certainly include a "trigger" to adopt the public option in just a few years!

This is a sneaky backdoor way into socialized medicine.

This "trigger" will force the establishment of a government-run plan after the insurance companies fail to meet impossibly high standards for expanded coverage and reduced costs.

And that opens the door for the government takeover!

The loons behind this scheme actually believe a government takeover of healthcare will lower costs, even as it improves quality and expands coverage to all!

Of course that's impossible, and Medicare should be the obvious proof of that!

Medicare is Going Broke, Even as it Sucks up 20% of the U.S. Budget

In 1966, Medicare and Medicaid made up 1% of total government spending. Today, that figure is 20% and rising fast.

At this rate, Medicare will be broke by 2017, and any expansion of government-run healthcare will bring about the bankruptcy sooner. Unless of course . . .

· Taxes are raised much higher

· Healthcare is rationed

· Quality of healthcare is lowered

Get ready for all of the above. Because that's exactly what they have in Canada, Britain, France, and every other country with a government-run healthcare system.

You see, under Obamacare, the quality of care will decline because today's total resources will have to be stretched to include tens of millions more people . . .

The government will decide how much doctors and nurses will be paid, which treatments will be covered (far fewer than what's available now), and who will get what and when. But it's even worse than that . . .

The government will decide which medicines will be forced on you in the name of "disease prevention."

Yes, forced medications! And it's already happening . . .

Under nationalized healthcare, the government will want every adult on a polypill that combines aspirin, blood pressure medicine, and a cholesterol lowering drug.

This crackpot idea comes from Britain. And it's been proposed as policy here in the name of disease prevention. Why? To save money, of course, so that more people can get health coverage.

But there's another reason for it — Big Pharma PROFITS! And . . .

· It won't matter that such a pill is completely inappropriate for most people!

· It won't matter that cholesterol-lowering drugs DON'T prevent heart disease.

· It won't matter that such a pill actually will do bodily harm!

Big Pharma has bought off the biggest players in Washington, including President Obama, and once we see the government takeover of healthcare, they'll be calling the shots on which medicines you get and at what prices.



You see, former Congressman Billy Tauzin is the chief lobbyist for Big Pharma, and armed with tens of millions of dollars for greasing the palms of Washington pals, he's bought a heck of a lot of influence. That's not all . . .

He cut a secret deal with President Obama to ensure that drug prices won't be negotiated any lower.

Tauzin has been so effective that he now has government officials doing Big Pharma's bidding,

The government push is actually a scheme to fill drug company coffers with billions of dollars, including a boatload of taxpayer money.

Have you wondered why Big Pharma is backing Obama? Under Obamacare, the drug companies are going to sell a lot more drugs!

Long ago, the leaders of Britain and Canada set up socialized healthcare and then — BIG SURPRISE — found out they couldn't pay for what they had promised . . .

The British politicians relieved the country's financial burden in the traditional socialist way — they rationed care and specifically denied quality care to their nation's sickest citizens (mostly the elderly).

They justified this action by reasoning the sickest 5% would otherwise use up 50% of all healthcare dollars, which they said was "unfair."

The Canadians ran into the same problem and went to rationing, too. But at least some Canadians had a way out — they could get quality care in the United States. And that's how U.S. health insurance policies came to be the biggest sellers in Canada.

Now, these socialist steps could be taken in America . . .

· The new system will rely on severe progressive rationing . . .

· Many medical services will be denied, especially to the elderly . . .

· The elderly will be encouraged to die to save healthcare dollars . . .

· Doctors who provide too much care — or offer services not approved by the government — will be fined and even have their licenses revoked!

Shocking? Yes, but all of these steps have been taken in every socialist medical care system in the world. And that's been justified in the name of providing "universal healthcare."

Right now, we're short 16,000 primary-care physicians in this country, and if Obama extends coverage to nearly everybody, that shortfall will double overnight!

The only possible result is less care for you and your family.

Even if you have good coverage now, you will get less care in the future because of the coming "overload" on our system.

Obviously, we can't provide healthcare to everyone with the resources we have now. And even if we could throw unlimited funds at this problem, it would take 10 to 15 years to ramp up.

Please let your Senators know that we want no part of this reform or they will find themselves unemployed after the Mid-Term elections.
