It's Not "Just" Socialized Medicine

I know you've been waiting for me to say something now that the bill has passed, since I was so vocal about it before it passed. Not to dissappoint, I've just been... well... kind of flabberghasted really that this actually happened in MY lifetime. Depressed, dissappointed, scared, and then finally determined and trusting in God. I've come full ciurcle through a whole range of thoughts and emotions and I didn't want to post until I knew I had something to say that would actually make sense.
Lately among the small part of the population who was in favor of the bill, and among those from countries that already have socialized medicine, I've been noticing a theme. First of all they keep referring to it as "free" healthcare, and second of all they wonder what is so wrong with socialized medicine in the first place that has most of the US all riled up? Well here's my thoughts on that very thing...
It’s not JUST “socialized medicine” it’s so much worse than just a government that can’t handle their finances or their programs as they are taking on a HUGE private sector and thinking they are going to do a better job with it. And forcing individuals to purchase a product that they will later be fined for not purchasing if they cannot afford! Yes, it's is not "free" after all. Instead of giving healthcare to those who cannot afford it like some think, this bill simply forces everyone to obtain health insurance, and if you don't? They take it out of your tax return. So it's not free at all, and you WILL pay for every penny of it. For several years before you can even start to use it.
What’s worse than that is all the things that are in the bill that open doors for the government to gain future control of other things. Think about it. If they control who gets what treatment when and how much of it, then they will also control what types of treatments are even available. Perhaps they will decide that it's no longer your choice to vaccinate/circumcise or not, but that if you don't do what they "reccommend" then you are "abusing" or "neglecting" your child. Here comes CPS to take your kids because you obviously can't be trusted to do what Uncle Sam deems best for them. And what about Naturopathic Doctors? Midwives? Will home births become illegal? Will even Midwives themselves become illegal? Remember how much paperwork you had to fill out last time you went to the doctor or began prenatal care? It will look like nothing compared to the amount of nosey detailed information Uncle Sam is going to want from you every time you darken the door of a medical establishment.
But that is not even the main number one most awful and unbelievable thing about it. This country was founded with freedom and democracy in mind. The government is supposed to be a government OF the people, BY the people, and FOR the people. Well the government has become it’s own entity, an elite society, and it is definately not a government of We The People. It’s become They The Government. And not only that but now they have just drawn a line in passing this bill that declares they are no longer BY the people either. Our system is SUPPOSED to be that our laws reflect the majority will of We The People. Well the MAJORITY was crying out to be heard, peacefully protesting and signing petitions and writing to their representatives and instead of voting what the people they represent told them (begged them, demanded) that they vote, they completely ignored We The People and voted AGAINST the wishes of the people and against the Constitution which our country was founded on and has thrived on for so long. They voted this bill in against the people. They voted an illegal law into place illegally – and yet because they are now their own entity that doesn't care what we want, and they are so big and powerful, it’s going to take alot of peaceful and well-thought legal maneuvering for We The People to get our country back from the tyrants who have just stolen control with the illegal passing of this healthcare bill. As Glen Beck said, we can’t let them make us out to be the radicals. We can’t get mad or get even, we must get on our knees and get right with God! God’s favor once rested on this country and it can again if the hearts of We The People turn toward Him! Because God is bigger than They The Government.

Please excuse the typos... it's midnight and I haven't gotten much sleep lately with Z-Buggie teething and being pregnant and having insomnia issues to begin with! So my typing skills are definately suffering for it. ;)

Counting down... are YOU being heard?

Time's a ticking! If you have not done so yet, STAND UP AND BE COUNTED- and I don't mean for the census! I mean let your voice be heard on Healthcare reform! Big Government thinks they can sneak or push the healthcare bill through against our protests! They think they don't have to listen to us and if if we let them, they will get away with it. DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS BLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL maneuver! Just because health care needs help, doesn't mean we should go socialist! That's not going to fix anything. They can't handle public schools or the US mail, what makes you think they can handle medicine? And if they get their finger in that pot... well then they'll have even more control and become even more dangerous to the people they are supposed to be protecting. Can't you just see it? When they run low on their healthcare fund with their tradition of out of control spending, who do you think is going to get healthcare then? They will pick and choose who gets help and who doesn't. Will you be too old? Too sick? Too young? Will preemies have rights? Will the elderly? Will they cut pain meds for the terminally ill? The only way to inspire someone or something to greater eficency is NOT by creating one owner to run the entire system... no, it's COMPETITION. Free enterprise is one of the foundational freedoms that has made this country great! Government run healthcare will eliminate that.

Have you contacted your representatives? If they oppose the bill it's still important to contact them, expressing your support! They're dropping like flies, or so goes the rumor... check THIS out guys. Is it true? Are we losing the fight because our own representatives are chosing to vote against us? Well I don't know what will happen but I do know that it's extremely important for each of us to let them know if we do or don't approve of the way they plan to vote. They can take strength from the people backing them against this bill, or get scared of crossing the people they are supposed to represent by voting in favor of it. What we have to do is be loud and clear. Let your voice be heard!

If you don't know how to find out what's going on in the American government, check out my friend's post HERE! It's a great post for reference and contains a link on how to get your representatives' contact information. USE IT well, my friends! Contact them! Let's let them know what we want and what we don't want! They are supposed to represent US, so lets let them get to know the wishes of those they represent.

And if you still have not signed the Kill The Bill petition, you should really check that out right now!

Kill the Bill!

Have you signed the Kill The Bill petition to STOP the healthcare bill? If not yet, click the link in my sidebar and please please check it out! We have to stop this. They are trying every underhanded tricky way to get this bill signed into law, completely IGNORING that the majority of American are AGAINST IT! This is the precipice where we can stand and fight, or watch Democracy die. Stand up people! The time has come!

Have you noticed all the earthquakes lately? I know you have. Well whether you are afraid of the end times or not, it pays to take heed. Keep your lamps burning. Keep watch. Be vigilant. Don't stand by and do nothing while people with selfish intentions run roughshod over the wishes and freedoms of the people they are supposed to work for.

Lets KILL THE BILL!

SAVE DEMOCRACY!
