"What I Will Do If ObamaCare Passes"
http://www.americanthinker.com/print...macare_pa.html
March 15, 2010 What I Will Do If ObamaCare Passes By Harold Witkov I have done everything I could to help prevent ObamaCare. I have signed petitions, written letters to my representatives, and penned various articles for American Thinker. Still, I have a growing fear that ObamaCare might happen, so I decided that it would be wise to have a "Plan B" for myself just in case. As I see it, coverage for an additional thirty million Americans is going to mean an eventual shortage of doctors and care. Despite what President Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi tell us, ObamaCare is going to result in the rationing of health care. When that happens, I want to be ready. Here are my top four "Plan B" safety-valve ideas if ObamaCare passes: 1. I am going to buy the book by that guy I see on TV all the time, author Kevin Trudeau. His Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About will be looking pretty good by the time health care rationing starts. In fact, I think that there are a lot of good books like his out there. I am going to purchase them all. I am going to buy a new bookshelf and fill every shelf with natural cure books. If I die before I read them all, I will have my wife sell them on eBay. I am sure she will get a good price for them once ObamaCare kicks in. 2. I am going to sign up for self-hypnosis workshops and order self-hypnosis CDs. While perusing the internet, I discovered that there is a whole other world of health care beyond the conventional. If I am going to be subjected to health care rationing, I may as well give self-hypnosis a chance. 3. I am going to get out my old Q-Ray Bracelet and put it on. It never did help my herniated disc pain one darn bit, but it's not doing me any good sitting in my underwear drawer. This time, I am wearing it 'til I die. If that happens sooner than later, I bet my wife can get a good price on eBay for that, too, once ObamaCare starts. 4. I plan to find myself a top-of-the-line faith healer. I am talking bona fide, not like that charlatan who worked on Andy Kaufman. There is a safety-valve idea "#5" I am considering should ObamaCare pass, but it is kind of humiliating, and I would need the help of my wife. I start by ordering an adult Clifford the Big Red Dog Halloween costume (I saw them for sale on Amazon). My wife brings me into the local veterinarian on all fours with a leash around my neck. She provides the vet with my stool and urine samples and explains, "This is my big red dog, Clifford. I would like him examined thoroughly. You are welcome to draw his blood and take X-rays, but he is not to receive any rabies or distemper shots. If I have to leave him, that is fine, but under no circumstances should he be neutered." Speaking of canines, I recently found out that there is private health insurance coverage for pets available. Imagine that: Dogs and cats can get private coverage, but under ObamaCare, citizens will one day lose that option. On the other hand, our pets and their owners will one day have something in common which they never had before if ObamaCare passes: death panels. I sure hope and pray that Obamacare fails. But now that I have some "Plan B" safety-valve ideas, I am feeling much better should Obamacare come to pass. I do hope that others will make use of some of my ideas. I am sure we can get through this if we all pull together. As we all know, President Obama and the Democrats are losing independents and various coalition-voting blocks. If Obamacare is passed and the health care rationing begins, we can all at least take some solace in knowing that he has lost yet another voting block: the hypochondriacs of America.

It is pretty amazing that a person could write something that long about an issue while clearly never taking the time to familiarize himself with the issue at all.
I almost wonder if he meant the whole thing as a parody of right-wing lunacy. If not, I guess he's just plain ignorant.

wow. people on the right still work the death panel angle?
are they worried about locking up that critical portion of the population that: a) only watch fox news so missed the fact this is a discredited lie. b) didn't hear the discredited lie 1000 times on fox news before they dropped it after it got too embarrassing. c) would support health reform if they didn't hear it. i'm sure the author knows his audience but that seems like a really small slice to aim for. maybe he should have gone for pro-obama birther's instead.

I feel that a person should have health insurance. But answer this question for me: Does a person who can work and is not trying to find work deserve a free ride? Personally I feel they dont deserve a hand out like they will getting if this ridiculous bill is passed. But I guess this is the O'Dumbass way.

What the bill does is massively change what people who do work, and who do pay for health insurance, get.

The "vast majority of citizens" has been polled to be against this, because the past year has been a nightmare of acrimony and lies about what reform could entail, but when it has been explained, the majority is in favor of it passing. I'll find the recent polling data from this week .... --------------- Here's the current AP poll: From Huffpost: AP Health Care Poll: Only FOUR PERCENT Of Americans Don't Want Any Reform CHARLES BABINGTON | 03/ 9/10 06:41 PM | WASHINGTON � Americans and their lawmakers are dramatically out of sync on health care, with large majorities of people looking for bipartisan cooperation that's nowhere in sight. A new Associated Press-GfK Poll finds a widespread hunger for improvements to the health care system, which suggests President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies have a political opening to push their plan. Half of all Americans say health care should be changed a lot or "a great deal," and only 4 percent say it shouldn't be changed at all. But they don't like the way the debate is playing out in Washington, where GOP lawmakers unanimously oppose the Obama-backed legislation and Democrats are struggling to pass it by themselves with narrow House and Senate majorities. More than four in five Americans say it's important that any health care plan have support from both parties. And 68 percent say the president and congressional Democrats should keep trying to cut a deal with Republicans rather than pass a bill with no GOP support. Leaders of both parties in Congress say that's not how it's going to work out. After a year of off-and-on negotiations, Republicans adamantly oppose Obama's plans. The White House and Democratic leaders say it's now-or-never for a health care overhaul, which would cover an additional 30 million Americans, require almost everyone to buy health insurance and impose new restrictions on insurance companies. The Democrats' plan relies on parliamentary rules that bar Senate filibusters. That would enable Senate Democrats to pass a companion health care bill – which House Democrats are demanding – with a simple majority. Democrats control 59 of the Senate's 100 votes, one shy of the number needed to stop GOP filibusters. The new poll underscores Obama's struggles to wrest control of the health care debate from Republicans, who couch his efforts as a government takeover and costly intrusion into private lives. Many of his allies are baffled, because Americans clearly want change, and some of the individual components of the Democrats' health care agenda seem popular. Moreover, the public has not embraced the Republicans' overall approach to legislating, giving lower approval ratings to GOP lawmakers than to Democrats, although both parties fare badly. In the AP-GfK Poll, 43 percent of those surveyed said Obama and Congress should keep working to pass health care this year, while 41 percent said they should start from scratch. On Capitol Hill, the Republicans favor that new-start approach; Democrats say that's just a way to stall the effort to death.

Free health care works just fine for Canada.
True, they have to wait slightly longer in certain situations. But they aren't exactly a 3rd world country either. In fact, Canada is somehow one of the richest nations in the world despite having a free health care program.
