Manufactured Healthcare Crisis

As with the Democrat takeover of Congress in 2006, it was a disaster of epic proportions. With one shocking, enormous, blatantly partisan, self-serving and destructive proposal following on the heels of another, the sheer enormity of their power grab defies description. But as each new proposal moves forward, the hand of the Crisis Strategy becomes clear.

If there were ever any doubt that Barack Obama personifies the Crisis Strategy, it should long since have been removed for anyone with a mind. Since so many Americans seem to have lost theirs, I address this to the rest of you. For with God's help, it is you and I, not our gutless, hapless, corrupt politicians, nor our sleeping populus that will save this country or allow it to fall.

For those of you who aren't familiar with it, the Crisis Strategy was the brainchild of two radical socialist college professors, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. The idea was to overwhelm government with demands for services to the point where the system would collapse and provide an opening for the socialists to take over. Their strategy was behind creation of the National Welfare Rights Organization in the 1960s and 1970s which dramatically increased the welfare roles and caused the near bankruptcy of New York City in 1975; creation of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), prime instigators of the mortgage meltdown; the national Motor Voter law signed by President Clinton in 1993, which opened the floodgates to vote fraud by ACORN and similar groups; and the illegal immigrant amnesty movement. As we all should know by now, Barack Obama worked with and trained ACORN workers for many years.

"Healthcare nationalization is a major component of this strategy. As Lenin said, "Medicine is the keystone of the arch of socialism." The Left has agitated as far back as the 1930s for some kind of socialized healthcare system. Their dream was partially realized with creation of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. The stated goal of these programs was to provide comprehensive healthcare for seniors and the poor. As the programs grew, the Left clamored for ever more benefits to these groups and ever expanding definitions of covered individuals. Illegal immigration, also encouraged by the Left, has contributed to a rapidly growing pool of beneficiaries."..excerpt

Part of the goal is the destruction of all private practice medicine, and it will never return. The Dems plan the elimination of 90% of specialists from practice. Think about it. Instead of MDs, there will be expensive panels of bureaucracy and MD substitutes...all at oppressive additional cost.

There is not healthcare crisis. Its manufactured and fake. Its a lie.

But when it comes to real crises, like terrorism, Bush and the GOP made it up.

Such democrat thinking is going to get us all killed.

did the founding fathers wait for permission to take this country away from england, like the people here now seem to be waiting on permission to take it away from the current socialist govt?

Another excellent article by James Simpson.

He should be required reading, especially this article from last year:

The first time I read it, I thought he was crazy.

Not anymore.

Barack Obama's Worst Nightmare

[Gaffer]

With all due respect, I DO think there is a healthcare crisis - only it's not of the same origin and state as is presently claimed.

The healthcare crisis we face is typified by a vast array of faults:

Overloaded emergency rooms because of illegals and other people who are unwilling to work using it as the local doctor's office

Expansive and expensive test costs forced on both insurance covered patients (and uncovered) to reduce the probability of being sued for negligence

Outrageous insurance-reimbursed hospital costs to cover stays and treatment for the same group as above

High insurance premiums for doctors, surgeons and specialists because of "get rich" lawsuits

Exhorbitantly high costs for the the NSF, NHS and other health-related agencies to cover bloated management, administration-targeted favoritism, inefficiency and political vote buying

Just a few of the reasons. If you couple health agency related budget costs with SS, they are double the cost of the INTEREST on the national debt (with Obama's spending spree will dwarf ALL other expenditures soon), which by the way nearly equals the entire Defense Department Debt.

Great article. Thanks for posting.

[Kakaze]

It is irrefutable obama lives for the crisis. He has a great ability to exploit fear and create a situation that turns into a full disaster.

You only have to look at how he campaigned, for 2.5 years he talked this economy into the toilet. Now I do not blame him solely for the recession occurring, I do blame him for enjoying the depth it reached based on his projections of fear.

Now he is doing the same for health care. The problem is as we have seen with the economy, he can destroy it but he has no damned idea how to fix it once its broke.

He has to be defeated, before he breaks something again.

A forceful article explaining what the 'Rats' attempt at taking over health care really means. Very scary, to say the least. It seems like a lot of folks are finally getting it, better late than never, but who knows if it is soon enough. I've heard that the current 'Rat bill in the House was drawn up several years ago and taken out of mothballs recently when the opportunity to strike appeared to be at hand.

I would quibble, however, with Mr. Simpson's opening statement: the people did not elect a filibuster proof Dem majority in the Senate. Al Franken was not elected in Minnesota, but catapulted into his seat by fraud, and Arlen Specter switched parties to give them their 60 seats.

Lenin said, "Medicine is the keystone of the arch of socialism."

It is also an excuse to grab the power over life and death. Senior citizens realize this. Their lives and health are in jeopardy with Obamacare.

The population controllers love the Dem Healthcare Bill. They can eliminate "useless eaters" like Hitler did.

We must never give them this opportunity.

[givemELL]

The Dems in the Senate are NOW working on changing the Senate rules so that a Healthcare Bill can pass with only 50 votes. No mention of this in the media?
