STILL NO HEALTH FAIRY ON THE HORIZON

In mid-1994 then President Bill Clinton was plagued with sex scandals and while he kept denying them, deep down more and more people begin to think he wasn’t telling the whole truth so why would anyone accept Clinton’s word that America had a healthcare crisis which only his wife could solve? They were claiming that the Clintonized healthcare would not create an added cost for most Americans; however, even a Clinton ally and liberal Democrat named Representative Dan Rostenkowski, chairman of the Ways and Means committee, shot holes through the Clinton’s hot air balloon in an April 22 speech to the Harvard School of Public Health. “We still haven’t found the health fairy. And we’re not terribly optimistic that we will… Everyone may have to make a tangible contribution to finance this program.” Rosenkowski implied that new broad based taxes would be needed…if you want to get more you have to pay more. [1] Two years earlier in 1992 Oregon’s Senate President, Dr. John Kitzhaber said, “I don’t think either candidate Bush or Clinton really wants health care to be a major issue…when you get down to the nitty-gritty of solving the health care problem, you either have to raise an enormous amount of money or you have to make some very, very difficult political decisions that are going to upset major constituency groups.” Kitzhaber was later elected governor and gave us the Oregon Health Care plan.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated that rather than reduce the budget by $59 billion as Clinton claimed, the Clinton plan would add $74 billion to the budget by 2000. And, according to Rostenkowski, the American people “won’t be totally happy with the solution we ultimately embrace.” [1]
Fifteen years later- same song second verse but now we no longer speak in terms of billions. The bailouts begun under Republican President George W. Bush has us in debt up to $11 trillion or more - $26 billion a month for interest! That $11 trillion doesn’t take into account all the future promised entitlements that could push our debt as high as $99 trillion. No one knows for sure. Now our elected lickspittles are promoting health care. These are the same leaders who bounced more than 8,331 checks at their own personal House of Reps bank forcing it to close due to their own incompetence. [2]
In the height of the Paula Jones-Clinton scandal, David Reinhard, Associated Editor of The Oregonian in Portland asked, “Who else may be in bed with Clinton?” While he was referring to sexual scandals, besides his wife, maybe voters should be asking who is in bed with President Barack Obama on his Universal Health Care proposal.
Maybe Syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin has the answer. In her June 24, 2009 article: Who’s funding the Obamacare Astroturf “grass-roots” campaign, she alleges that the Chicago crony/White House senior adviser David Axelrod is the master mind with deep-pockets leftist billionaires such as Soros/Move.on, Democrat donors Herb and Marion Sandler, Peter Lewis of Progressive Insurance, the corruption-riddled SEIU and Obama’s old chums at fraud-riddled ACORN. In addition there is the left-wing philanthropist Drummond Pike, who heads the non-profit Tides Foundation/Tides Center.
Michelle Obama was hired at the University of Chicago Medical Center in 2002 at a salary of $120,000, a position created for her when her husband became Illinois state senator. The position required her to run “programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity and minority contracting.” A New York Times article said when her husband became a U.S. Senator, her salary in 2005 jumped from $120,000 to $317,000 – nearly twice what her husband made as a U.S. Senator and miraculously the University was given $1 million taxpayer money. This, my friends, is Job Patronage. When she later resigned to become “First Lady” the position was never filled.
Malkin revealed a horror story we didn’t read about in the mainstream papers when the White House, Democrats and MoveOn (Soros) liberals were spreading health care sob stories to sell a government takeover. It is a tale of poor, minority patient dumping in Chicago with First Lady Michelle Obama’s fingerprints all over it. It seems both Republicans Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa and Democrat Rep. Bobby Rush of Chicago raised red flags about the “outsourcing” program run by the University of Chicago Medical Center, with non-profit status that received lucrative tax breaks in exchange for providing charity care. I remember watching a program on TV a number of years ago how patients are put in vans, taken to the poor section of town. The side door opens and someone puts the patient on the street and drives away. Whether this was a van belonging to the University of Chicago Medical Center or not I cannot say. And then we see First Lady Michelle at a “photo op” feeding the people in a homeless center while one of the homeless was taking a picture of her with his cell phone camera.
Hillary Clinton during her effort to reform health care indicated there was much waste in the health care system and that some procedures on the elderly who were at the age when life expectancy is about to run out, they should not be able to receive treatment, i.e. hip and knee replacements. And now President Barack Obama is on record saying the same thing. Barack plans to cut Medicare and Medicaid costs in order to implement his Universal Health Care plan. As I recall, wasn’t it Hitler who eliminated “useless eaters?” Is this part and parcel of the Rockefeller Population Reduction plan?
A caller to our local radio station on 7/8/2009 reading from a Catholic publication said a woman with lung cancer is on Kitzhaber’s Oregon’s Health Plan, which is also in financial trouble. The only help they plan to give is to pay for her to commit suicide. Oregon was the first state to implement “Death with Dignity” otherwise known as euthanasia and Washington state voters legalized it on 11/24/2008. A German lady remembers Hitler’s nationalized health care. She said the elderly and sick began to disappear from hospitals feet first as “mercy killing” became the policy. Children with disabilities and those who had Downs Syndrome were subjected to euthanasia. People whispered, “Maybe it is better for them now. Put them out of misery and our taxes no longer must be spent to care for such a burden.” Eugenics is the driving force behind euthanasia.
Indoctrination in government schools takes many forms when it comes to population reduction. One doctrine being taught: “Thou shall not overpopulate the earth.” This secular doctrine is overtly promoted and presented as neutral ecological truth when it is actually a challenge to the cultural mandate that God gave us in Gen. 1:28 so homosexuality and abortion as birth control are taught as acceptable. In China prisoners are murdered for their organs that are sold to the highest bidder.
Everything is planned – even starvation. Gary Allen wrote in his 1976 book The Rockefeller File that intertwined with the food production grab is the push for population control. People planning is an important tool in building the net that will drag us fishes into the New World Order. The United Nations sponsored the world Population Conference at Bucharest, Romania in August 1974. Heading the program: John D. Rockefeller III said, “I have changed my mind and now believe family planning alone is not adequate.” The Washington Post, a chief establishment mouthpiece, has discussed the Nazilike policies being advocated by the people planners: The day may be approaching when couples will have to prove eligibility and demonstrate qualifications before they are permitted to become parents or there may be baby ration cards for couples, group marriages, mass distribution of antifertility drugs, parent licensing, legal polygamy, abortions on demand, more varied life options for women… Overpopulation is only one of several crises that are helping bring in the New World Order.
A 1994 Colorado Forum asked: Is the world overpopulated? The answer: All of the world’s five-and-a-half billion people could fit in Texas with each person having 1,352 square feet of space, which would be less than a third as crowded as Manhattan is now. These crazies have decided by whatever means necessary the population must be reduced. You’ll recall hearing recently about Robert S. McNamara’s death. Under his regime in the 1970s, the elite’s World Bank was best known for its worldwide campaign for population control. In other words: “Cut your population or you get no cash.” Communists always kill off 20% of the population upon capturing a country and with our president recently in Russia offering to slash our nuclear stockpiles by about a third, communist control could be coming to America.
The “green” radicals are nothing more than watermelons – green on the outside, red on the inside and they contend if the world were to be saved, the population would have to be reduced and now Al Gore and his lunacy global warming carbon footprint ideas are being promoted. Do you remember the Heaven’s Gate mass suicide in March 1997? When media mogul Ted Turner was interviewed he said, “Only 39 were dead but we still had billions left and besides this is a good way to get rid of some of them.” Turner contributes millions to the U.N. Sir Julian Huxley said, “Overpopulation is, in my opinion, the most serious threat to the whole future of our species.” The project called MK-NAOMI, was carried out at Fort Detrick, Maryland. Since large populations were to be decimated, the ruling elite decided to target the “undersirable” element of society… [3] A Latin American case officer for the State Department of Population Affairs is on record as saying “Population is a political problem. Once population is out of control it requires authoritarian government, even fascism, to reduce it. (3) Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg said on 7/9/2009 she thought Roe would help eradicate unwanted populations through abortion. Did you see that reported in the mainline news? No, they are still too busy analyzing Sarah Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska.
Let me go on record saying the elderly did not want Medicare. It was forced on them! When today’s elderly were young, they’d pay a small fee for a doctor call and carried low-cost Major Medical insurance to cover the catastrophes. My folks never had health insurance. They paid cash. Because he can afford it, Rush Limbaugh gets big discounts when he pays cash but he must be union to work, so he has health insurance through it but said he’s never used it; however, he fears eventually he may be forced to participate.
We should be encouraged to have medical savings accounts so we, too, could pay cash. Government forced the elderly to enroll in Medicare and the premium is taken from their Social Security checks. Trial lawyers stand in the wings to sue doctors and hospitals for alleged wrongdoing, so they begin to run more tests to cover their backsides and health care costs began to skyrocket and now a health proposal in the U.S. Senate will assess fines on people who do not wish to enroll – more Marxist intimidation tactics.
In addition to the greedy trial lawyers and plaintiffs looking for deep pockets to sue, an example was given in the 6/8/2009 New American told about a grandmother who wanted to lose weight and the other about a couple going through a divorce. Both were referred to pricey establishments and once there, they were stripped of their clothes and despite a flat zero on the depression scale, injected with experimental drugs for depression. As soon as their health insurance ran out, they were discharged. Where is the Congressional investigation?
Once again, dear readers, you’d better be writing letters, sending e-mails and faxes and ringing the phones off the hook of your Congressman and Senators because the health plan you get is not the one they will get. Ask them: Are you going to read the bill before you vote? Are you going to join this public health plan that you are shoving on us?

If the answer is “No,” then you should advise them to vote against any government managed health care plan.
President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton believe it is wrong to treat the elderly with “wasteful” procedures. First Lady Michelle Obama approved of patient dumping so remember, the life you save just may be your own because these powerful elitist vermin will make sure their own families will not be subjected to the same health care plan as the rest of us.
