ALERT - Federal Health Care Legislation H.R.3200
Original link Added March 19, 2010
Dear friends, Please take a moment to read the letter below from our friend, Roy Hansen. He is the director of the Family Protection Ministries in California, who has worked for years to help safeguard the rights of families. We are forwarding on this Action Alert and we urge you to please call those indicated below. This affects all individuals and families. Additional resources on government healthcare can be found on the website: www.childandfamilyprotection.org. *********************** Why Is This Issue Of Concern To Homeschoolers? The legislative proposals on healthcare before Congress seek to shift important decisions from parents and families and private physicians to an unelected government bureaucrat. People with their own agenda who do not know you will make life and death decisions for you and your family. This will open the doors for further freedom-robbing socialism to come into our homes to make decisions in every area of life. Picture you and other homeschooling families put on hold because mom or a child is completely incapacitated and in a "waiting line" of indeterminate length, pending medical, dental, or optical treatment, which currently would be available and completed in a matter of days or hours. Terrible features in their "ideal" mandatory medical care system, sooner or later, will include horrific practices such as: (1) mandatory counseling, (2) psychological and psychiatric exams for everyone, and (3) population reduction (forms of medical genocide including abhorrent taxpayer-funded abortions, infanticide and killing off of the disabled and elderly). This sounds radical but read the documents listed on our website given below, which reveal some of what is in store. The Bottom Line Those who are behind the push to implement universal mandatory government healthcare at the national level have already outlined what their ultimate goal is for this legislation. The details hidden in the current House bill (HR 3200) reveal much of the proponent's true agenda. Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the President tried to ram this through while deceiving people as to the contents of HR 3200. However, conservative commentators, like Dick Morris are concerned that if a compromise bill is approved, opponents will let their guard down, erroneously thinking we got a victory. There are no reports that they are considering removing all the other dangerous features. It is highly likely that when Senate and House appointed conferees meet (behind closed doors, away from public scrutiny) to reconcile the differences in the House and Senate versions of the bill, proponents will get as much as they can at this time back into the bill with "blank-check" and disguised wording. Part two of their strategy will be to incrementally add back in features, which they were not initially able to obtain, through subsequent legislation. This will be more easily done after the structure and framework is already in place. Background Information We at Family Protection Ministries have selected some of the best papers and articles where you can get a more detailed understanding about this push toward federally controlled health care and the dangers involved; on our website: http://www.childandfamilyprotection.org/SocializedMedicine.html Citizen's Council on Health Care who has issued the following alert, is one of several national organizations that operates full-time in the health care policy arena. Key conservative organizations throughout America rely on their thorough analysis and position papers to give detailed, conservative perspectives. www.cchconline.org "President Obama supports the idea of a "public option" for health insurance. The language of competition and choice cleverly conceals the objective. But the President's "public option" is a gateway leading to 118 million Americans losing the option of private choice. It is a strategy for government-run health care. It is a Trojan horse." - Former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Michael O. Leavitt (Fox News, April 29th, 2009) Roy Hanson
Family Protection Ministries, California *************************** Citizens Council on Health Care Dear Friends, Dangerous health care legislation is rapidly working its way through Congress. We need your help now to stop it. H.R. 3200, and its U.S. Senate companion bill will: - Drive physicians out of the medical profession. - Encourage and facilitate health care rationing. - Set up a new government health care plan to "compete" with private insurance. This new government plan (the 'public health insurance option') will be subsidized by the federal government, eventually driving private health insurance out of business. The Lewin Group estimates that 119 million Americans could lose their private insurance and end up in the new government plan if the legislation becomes law. Liberal members and potentially a few moderates in Congress are trying to fast-track this national health care bill before you figure out what they're going to do to you and how bad it's going to be. Not only do these members plan to set up a "Health Choices Administration" (Orwellian doublespeak!!!), they plan to: - Force you to buy health insurance (a federal mandate means federal control). - Force you to buy insurance from a federal (tracking) bureau, a "national health insurance exchange." - Force you to buy only federally "qualified" health insurance. - Force your doctor to share your medical data with the government. - Force you to carry a federalized "machine-readable" ID card (national patient ID and tracking card). - Force you into socialized medicine and out of private treatment and insurance choices. - Force your doctor to work for the government, not you. - Force you to pay higher taxes to cover the cost of losing your freedom. To see an eye-opening chart that illustrates what American health care will look like when the government runs it, go to: http://www.cchconline.org/images/chart-big.jpg Act Now! Call your two US Senators and your member of the House of Representatives. The fast-tracking of this health care legislation is a blitzkrieg, meant to make you give up, give in, and go away. Don't accept their propaganda. Socialized medicine is not inevitable unless and until you give up. It is time to call everyone in Congress. Tell them: VOTE NO on H.R. 3200, and the Senate's Kennedy-Baucus bill (which has no number yet - see below), or any bill that includes: INDIVIDUAL INSURANCE MANDATE NATIONAL PATIENT ID (machine-readable federal tracking) CARD GOVERNMENT-ISSUED TREATMENT PROTOCOLS HIGHER TAXES SOCIALIZED MEDICINE CALL CONGRESSIONAL SWITCHBOARD NOW: 202-224-3121 To Find Your Representative and two Senators in Congress - http://www.congress.org/congressorg/dbq/officials/ UPDATE: SENATE: Max Baucus: bipartisan heath care deal close, Politico, July 16, 5:56 p.m. EDT. Rumor has it that the Baucus and Kennedy bills will merge after the Baucus bill emerges. Then the Senate Kennedy-Baucus bill will get a bill number. HOUSE: The 1,018 page House bill, H.R. 3200, was being 'marked up' (amended) last week. Congressman Ron Paul reminds citizens inYahoo! Finance that health care is not a right. REMEMBER: If health care is ever declared a "right", government will decide what that "right" looks like, and it will be a promise of coverage, not a guarantee of care. Let me encourage you to contact any and every member of Congress that you can! In Freedom, Twila Brase
