I’m making my rounds through the blogosphere and posting what I stumble upon pertaining to healthcare. If this Universal Healthcare plan gets passed and the 1,018 page monstrosity is shoved down our throats without a 2nd glance, we are surely in trouble. Leave it to our government to mess it all up. I don’t understand what the rush is to be honest. I would prefer if they are going to offer up a plan that it would be something that was carefully thought out. Seriously, our lives hang in the balance and so does our beloved country. I’ll start with this political cartoon and come back to add more. You’ll want to check back often to see what new links I’ve added.

Hat Tip: GetLiberty.org – All politicians should be the first to be enrolled into the new government healthcare plan against their will. They should not get to keep their current plan. They should be expected to set the example and show the country that it’s not just about doing what they say we should do.

Here are some of the posts I’ve had on Healthcare this week:

There were two posts in May and June that were the most interesting on Sexual Health Buzz. These two had the most views AND the most comments.

Obamacare: What number will you be?

Talk About Telling – My opinion, when I found out I had H in 2001, I continued to date men that did not have it…

June 23: President Obama gestures as he answers a question during a news conference at the White House in Washington (AP).

Before I dive into this I want to let y’all know that I’ll be cross posting my thoughts in a few places that I contribute to on the net. So if you see this post repeated then now you know why. I’m a contributor for two other blogs: BlogMommas.com and Plains Feeder.

This is where the whole rationing of healthcare comes into play. If you really stop to consider what Obama is trying to do it’s downright scary.

Obama: Health Care Reform Will ‘Absolutely’ Be Passed By End of Year

The other thing I don’t like about this healthcare mess is that he’s trying to rush it as if it’s going to turn into a pumpkin by the end of the year. Let’s talk about this healthcare overhaul and see if both sides can work together to come up with a plan that’s going to benefit everybody.

“I’m going to wait and see what ideas they come up with. I suspect that when they start seeing what the options are, they might end up concluding that the options we’re presenting are the best ones,” he said, adding that he would prefer to reduce tax deductions for the wealthiest to pay for the overhaul.

Why are we picking on the tax payers? Why are we picking on the people that employ our citizens? Why are we penalizing people for their success? Why should the wealthiest people of our country be responsible for this healthcare overhaul?

Obama also said he’s changed his mind on the issue of whether individuals can purchase health care — an idea he was resistant to during his presidential campaign.

“This is an area where people have made compelling arguments to me, that if we want to have system that drives down cost for everyone, we have to have healthy people not opt out of the system,” Obama told ABC.

So basically Obama lied to us when he said that we could keep our current healthcare plan if that is what we choose to do. Remember when he said that? He said that we could keep our doctors. We could stay on the health insurance plans that the companies we work for provide us with if we are happy with the care we are getting. Do you see what a LIAR Obama is? He has the audacity to tell me that I have to subscribe to the nation’s new government healthcare program. It’s not my choice any more.

The United States is the only developed nation that does not have a comprehensive national health care plan for all its citizens.

About 50 million of America’s 300 million people are without health insurance. The government provides coverage for the poor, disabled and elderly, but most Americans rely on private insurance, usually received through their employers. However, not all employers provide insurance and not everyone can afford to buy it on their own. With unemployment rising, many Americans are losing their health insurance when they lose their jobs.

The government can not be all things to all people in this country. The government is not the savior of it’s people. It’s the people that can figure this out and NOT the government. What the article forgot to mention is that while the government provides for the poor, disabled and the elderly… it doesn’t mention the poor quality of what the government has made available to these people. Also, our government is breaking the law and providing for people that are not here in this country legally.

I am not a mean person. I don’t want to see innocent children suffering at the hands of their parents and the decisions their parents made. I understand that many came from other countries that do not offer much hope or promise. But at the same time these people are breaking the law. The laws in this country are not being upheld and the American People are expected to bailout out the poor decisions of others.

We have an immigration problem in this country. If our current healthcare system is so flawed then why do people from other countries flock to the United States to receive that healthcare? Think about that for a half a millisecond.

If you are working for a company that doesn’t provide a healthcare plan then find another job. If you live in a state where the unemployment rate is high then move to Nebraska. I heard on the radio the other day that the employment rate here in Nebraska is the best in the nation and that unemployment is only at 4.4%

This administration is going to take what little quality of healthcare we have left and squash it like a bug. You kind folks out there that do not know what it’s like to be on government care have no idea what you are buying into when you listen to ever single word Obama has to say about it. I grew up on government healthcare and let me tell you, it SUCKS.

Scroll back up and click on the link I provided up there and read the article for yourself. If you are in the healthcare field I invite you to comment with your experience about what you know. You can comment anonymously if you’d like.

The scenario that comes to my mind when I think of healthcare being rationed is the pregnant mom due any day… she goes into labor… she’s at the hospital and the pain is excruciating and the doctor tells her how sorry she is that they can’t offer her an epidural because they are trying to cut costs. That’s just one example! I’m sure there are more examples out there. I’d like to read about those so if you have one please share it.

Good afternoon,

You are receiving this email because you signed up at WhiteHouse.gov. My staff and I plan to use these messages as a way to directly communicate about important issues and opportunities, and today I have some encouraging updates about health care reform.

The Vice President and I just met with leaders from the House of Representatives and received their commitment to pass a comprehensive health care reform bill by July 31.

We also have an unprecedented commitment from health care industry leaders, many of whom opposed health reform in the past. Monday, I met with some of these health care stakeholders, and they pledged to do their part to reduce the health care spending growth rate, saving more than two trillion dollars over the next ten years — around $2,500 for each American family. Then on Tuesday, leaders from some of America’s top companies came to the White House to showcase innovative ways to reduce health care costs by improving the health of their workers.

Now the House and Senate are beginning a critical debate that will determine the health of our nation’s economy and its families. This process should be transparent and inclusive and its product must drive down costs, assure quality and affordable health care for everyone, and guarantee all of us a choice of doctors and plans.

Reforming health care should also involve you. Think of other people who may want to stay up to date on health care reform and other national issues and tell them to join us here:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/ — Email Updates

Health care reform can’t come soon enough. We spend more on health care than any country, but families continue to struggle with skyrocketing premiums and nearly 46 million are without insurance entirely. It is a priority for the American people and a pillar of the new foundation we are seeking to build for our economy.

We’ll continue to keep you posted about this and other important issues.

Thank you,
Barack Obama

P.S. If you’d like to get more in-depth information about health reform and how you can participate, be sure to visit http://www.HealthReform.gov.

For those that believe Barack Obama is Pro-Life, I challenge you to read through this post and then ask yourself if you still believe that he’s Pro-Life?

Obama’s public face about abortion is just one big lie. Out in public, debates, etc he puts on this “I don’t like abortion, I just want women to have their right to do it. I think we need to cut down on the number of abortions through prevention, education, etc, etc” — It SOUNDS “compassionate”.

But before the economy took it’s big plunge, he told Planned Parenthood, and this is recorded too– that his FIRST action as President would be to enact the Freedom of Choice Act– which WIPES OUT every single measure that DOES actually cut down on the number of abortions. He knew he could become the leader of the free world– and THE most important thing to him, the most pressing concern to him is lifting ANY and ALL restrictions on abortion???

Right now 36 states have parental notification laws— the Freedom of Choice Act would WIPE OUT a state’s right to require parental notification. So your 12 year old daughter could go get an abortion without your knowledge or consent. She needs consent to get a cavity filled. She needs consent to go on a school field trip. She needs consent to get a tattoo. But Obama thinks she should be able to get an abortion without mom or dad even knowing.

26 states have informed consent laws which provides someone seeking an abortion with MEDICAL information (not moral or religious counseling) about the present state of the baby, what the abortion process actually is and how it works. Doctors do that with ALL medical procedures. You go in to have a corn removed from your big toe and the doctor will explain to you what he’s going to do and how he’s going to do it. They do that with ANY procedure. But pro-choicers want to say that in the case of an abortion, any “counseling” or “description” of the process is only to put undo pressure on the mother to not go through with it.). FOCA would WIPE OUT informed consent laws.

34 states have funding restrictions and do not allow tax payer dollars to fund abortions. So in those states, women on Medicaid and welfare women can’t have an abortion using my tax dollars. FOCA would wipe that out and give women and young girls of any age, without parental consent an abortion using taxpayer money.

26 states have late-term and partial-birth abortion bans. FOCA would ABOLISH these bans even though the Supreme Court JUST ruled last year to uphold a state’s right to ban partial-birth abortions. So women would be able to get an abortion no matter how far along the pregnancy is, and would be able to have a partial-birth abortion for ANY reason, health wouldn’t even be an issue.

45 states have Protection of Conscience Laws– these laws allow doctors the right to NOT perform an abortion if he/she has a moral objection. They also stop doctors from being sued for discrimination, and stop doctors, nurses, technicians, etc from being fired for refusing to perform abortions, assist in them, etc. Conscience Laws would be WIPED OUT with FOCA. So even though there are PLENTY of doctors who are perfectly willing to perform them, doctors who object to doing so would either be FORCED to perform them or face being fired and/or sued, or they’d be forced to quit in order to avoid being sued and/or fired.

Obama spews all these LIES about worrying about the health of the mother… give me a flipping break. The overwhelming majority of all abortions, (95%), are done as a means of birth control. Only 1% are performed because of rape or incest; 3% due to the mother’s health problems. And 1% because of fetal abnormalities.

And what does the health of the mother have to do with all of the above restrictions being taken off the law books? What does the health of the mother have ANYTHING to do with a doctor who morally objects to performing abortions? He’s going to MAKE doctors perform abortions JUST because their patients want one? A doctor can be sued, fired etc just because he says “Sorry, I don’t do abortions but you can go to Planned Parenthood or Dr. Smith”?

He doesn’t give one WHIT about the health of the mother– otherwise why would he want to allow doctors to be PUNISHED for not wanting to participate in one, when the woman can just go to any other doctor who will?

Obama wants to lift every single solitary measure that in ANY WAY limits abortions. So when he says “I’m personally against abortion, I think there should be fewer abortions, and I think we should do everything we can to reduce the number of abortions,”he is LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH. He’s doing EXACTLY the opposite. He’s wanting to GUARANTEE that anyone of any age, for any reason, at any time during the pregnancy can have access to free (read that: Taxpayer funded) abortions, and is willing to FORCE doctors, nurses, techs, etc to choose between their moral conscience and keeping their jobs.

So… do you still believe that Obama is Pro-Life?

Cross Post: Domestic Divapalooza ~ Obama Is Not Pro-Life

I was all excited about the Turducken that we are getting in the mail today, until I heard about Planned Parenthood’s Abortion Bailout Package!

Here’s what I got in my inbox today.

Yes, I felt it important enough to copy and paste and share it with you.

More and more I can not stand Planned Parenthood, Period!

A message to all members of Team Sarah

December 19, 2008

Dear Team Sarah,

Tired of bailouts?

Well they aren’t going away anytime soon. Now the abortion industry wants one!

We all knew that Planned Parenthood (the number one abortion provider in the country) was going to have a special seat at the table in the Obama administration. Well it hasn’t taken them long at all to roll out their extreme agenda.

Tell your Senator today that Planned Parenthood should not get a bailout.

Go to www.stoptheabortionbailout.com

Abortion groups have submitted their 50 page proposal to the Obama-Biden transition team. At the top of the list? More taxpayer dollars for abortion organizations like Planned Parenthood. How much more? Over 1.5 billion dollars more!

The Abortion Bailout Package:

**$1 BILLION dollars in taxpayer funding for International Abortion Groups like UNFPA, an international aid organization connected to coercive abortion as part of China’s coercive one-child policy

**$700 million in taxpayer funding for “Title X” Health Clinics (aka your local Planned Parenthood affiliate)

**Repeal the Hyde Amendment — Vastly expanding federal taxpayer funding for abortions

**Include Abortion coverage in any taxpayer-subsidized national health care program

**Expand taxpayer-funded abortions through the Peace Corps program

It is an outrage for Planned Parenthood to expect you to give your hard earned dollars to fund the destruction of innocent life.

Join citizens across our great country in telling their Senators to keep your tax dollars out of the abortion providers. Tell them to Stop the Abortion Bailout!

Sign the Petition today!

All my best,

I got this note in my e-mail inbox:

I used to tivo all your shows, just to be sure I won’t miss any, since I use to admire you.All has changed since I found out how unfair your are about Sara Palin, and how you really are trying to use your power to force people  to feel and vote the way you want it. So long, no more of you in my book of life

Here are my thoughts on the issue:

I believe you wrote to me because you thought that you would actually reach Oprah Winfrey. It’s probably because a lot of people wrote to Oprah hoping that she would do a show on herpes.

In fact, you probably saw all those letters to Oprah posted on my Herpes Awareness page. Is that right? Well, you won’t reach Oprah Winfrey from that page.

Just thought you should know.

As for Oprah not having Sarah Palin on her show, I too think that is unfair.

She had Barack Obama on her show when he was promoting his book. She’s trying to make it seem as if nobody is coming on her show while they are running for President of the United States. As if she didn’t know he would be gunning for the White House.

I don’t agree with her at all. I think she should have Sarah Palin on her show and I don’t blame you for boycotting her as a result.
