'Shell' 2,300 page reconciliation health care bill includes public option, abortion funding, and butchers Constitution

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Lori Ziganto has this mornings must read, and it makes clear that our health care system is at stake and that it is indeed time to melt the phones:

Upon the release of the 'shell' 2,300 page reconciliation health care bill, which includes a public option, immediately some started issuing calls to calm down, that it's a shell bill that will allegedly be stripped by the Rules Committee. Allegedly is the key word. While it is what we are being told, there is no guarantee. In fact, the air drop rules committee strategy allows for any provisions that they need to pass the bill, and that can include the public option or anything else that they wish to insert.

Public option is technically back on the table. And the only way it will come off the table, is if it is stripped out. If.

Why on earth would anyone believe that it would be? Or that any of it will be? Why would anyone believe that the Democrats play fair and that we can all work together all gentlemanly-like and in good faith? They cannot be trusted - they will smile to your face and then turn around and bite off your pinky. They lie to members of their own caucus and now admit they have no plans to remove funding for abortion stipulations.

Additionally, we have no idea what will be in the final reconciliation bill and we won't know. It is not a transparent process. Nancy Pelosi has already said that they "have to pass the bill, so you can find out what's in it."

The Democrats have made it clear that they are all in. They've also made it quite clear that even the Constitution will not stand in their way. A fundamental change to our Country and the principles upon which it was founded is their ultimate pot. They don't care if it causes them unpleasantness in the short term. Socialized medicine gives them permanent power in the long term.

Make sure you read Ziganto's entire piece, then melt those phone lines, fax lines, and email addresses (do all three - contact info here). The Democratic leadership has chosen to endanger our health, socialize medicine, and essentially destroy our system of government by butchering our Constitution.

And even Barack Obama's cousin, Dr. Milton R. Wolf, has made it perfectly clear that if we allow Barack Obama's new era of big-government takeovers to spread to our health care system, its not just our freedoms or our wallets that will be at stake, it puts our lives at risk as well.

As Herman Cain points out, we have a president who is determined to make history for the wrong reasons with the wrong ideas, and Democrats in Congress who are willing to follow him over that cliff with gimmicky accounting, and parliamentary trickery to pass sweeping liberal legislation at any cost. Making our voices loudly heard now is the only chance we have left to stop this monster called Obamacare.

Peter Ferrara's piece at the American Spectator stresses essentially the same point that Obama's cousin, Dr. Milton Wolf makes - Obamacare puts our lives at risk. It makes for an excellent companion read to Dr. Wolf's piece.
