Pelosi Plan Would Give Health Czar Super Powers
heritage.org ^ | 10-30-09

Posted on 10/31/2009 9:27:40 AM PDT by Justaham

Among the fallacies in Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s health care bill is the pretense that bureaucrats are smarter than the rest of us. An unelected bureaucrat would be given czar-like control over our lives, our health, and our pocketbooks. Even super powers.

This new all-powerful “health choices commissioner” would be entrusted with more power than most superheroes. The laundry list of that special power is proof that it’s a government takeover of health care.

More Super Heros to add to Slim Shady's collection of "X-Men". The "x" is for MarXists.

From a blog post at

Pelosi bill creates Health Care Super Czar

"In other words, Pelosi's HCC will be the boss, judge, and jury presiding over one-sixth of the U.S. economy. If you think I am making this up, perhaps you will find a former congressman's analysis to be more persuasive. Check out these and more facts about Pelosi's Health Care Super Czar at the Heritage Foundation's Foundry blog in a post by former Rep. Ernest Istook of Oklahoma."

In other words, this health czar will control both the government plan and all of its competition. So much for claims about a level playing field

No need to fear a death panel.....we'll just appoint one guy to decide.

When Harry Reid loses his Senate seat next year, I predict that Reid will be appointed “Health Czar” if this hideous bill becomes law.

And, still no one in the government is standing up to point our that this whole sham is ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL. The government has NO AUTHORITY in this part of the lives of Americans. Same for Medicare, Social Security and whole lot of other bureaus, departments, offices, programs and initiatives over the past 100+ years.

Call, write, fax your congresscritters. Tell them straightup to vote against this dangerous overreach of governmental intrusion into the lives of American citizens.

It’s time to take back the country.

"Old people never seem to die, they just get in the way."

President Obama: At that age just a pill might be better than expensive cures.

Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle has praised Europeans for being more willing to accept "hopeless diagnoses" and "forgo experimental treatments," and he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system.

Former Governor of Colorado Richard Lamm: Seriously ill old people have a duty to die and get out of the way.

Democrats can be gruff but honest about the problems facing Social Security and Medicare. America's future depends upon implementing the solution now!

Obamacare's Family Friendly Enhanced Medicare (OFFEM) Plan is the solution.

Baby boomers are about to overwhelm Social Security and today's Medicare.. the solution is OFFEM.

Its grounds for open revolt, as far as I’m concerned.

The new czar would also:

Appoint a national health ombudsman to examine consumer complaints, but only in “a linguistically appropriate manner”

What?

Newspeak?
