Folks, I am here to tell you that the Democrats, as per usual, are up to their typical shenanigans as they are looking for ways to cram Obamacare down our throats. Let’s start with the most recent example.

Senators Chris Dodd and Max Baucus emerged from their secret, closed-door ObamaCare meetings with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Obama Administration officials just long enough to brag about their openness and transparency.

No, it’s not a joke.  According to Jeffrey Young with The Hill:

“Two senators at the forefront of healthcare reform went to great lengths Tuesday to brag about how open and transparent the legislative process has been. Then, they resumed prepping for another closed-door meeting.”

Young added:

“Addressing the press Tuesday afternoon, Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee patted themselves and each other on the back for writing their healthcare reform bills in public view even as they remained tight-lipped about their private meetings with Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and White House officials….”

 

Baucus would tell the assembled reporters:

“I have not been involved in such an open and transparent process as this. I’m very, very proud that we have done it… it’s so important to remind ourselves that no effort that I’ve been involved in and I don’t think anyone else in the Senate’s been involved with – certainly nothing with such significance and magnitude – has been so open and transparent as this. Totally open and transparent and I’m very proud of it.”

 

Dodd added this:

“Let me pick up on the point that Sen. Baucus was making. The suggestion somehow that this is being done otherwise is just blatantly false and a distraction from really we need to be talking about.”

 

And when Dodd and Baucus were finished, they resumed their secret ObamaCare meetings. Will you get to see the final version of ObamaCare before liberals try to ram it through Congress? 

 Will our elected officials even bother to read the Obamanation that comes out of these secret meetings before voting? If the past is any indication of what the immediate future holds, you already know the answer.

P.T. Barnum, the American businessman, politician and showman remembered most for his celebrated hoaxes, is widely credited with coining the phrase, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” Today, nearly 150 years later, the so-called leaders of the current Congress are seemingly taking Barnum’s words to heart. 

So much of what is happening in the ObamaCare closed-door and secret meetings is unknown. But another recent report from The Hill indicates that Reid and Dodd and Obama are about to play all of us for suckers. According to The Hill:

 “House Democrats are looking at re-branding the public health insurance option as Medicare, an established government healthcare program that is better known than the public option.”

 

The Hill calls it “Medicare Part E,” as in “Medicare for Everyone.” And Politico.com reported the following:

“Pelosi told her rank-and-file that she has more than 200 votes for a public option tethered to Medicare and that she wants to ’see if we can find the remaining votes,’ one member present said afterward.”

 

In other words, Congressional Democrats are scheming up a public relations hoax in an effort to sell ObamaCare to an unsuspecting American public that has thus far rejected it at every turn. 

And why not? People understand that “public option” means socialized medicine, rationing, and inferior care at a higher cost. But everyone loves Medicare… right? So… call ObamaCare, “Medicare for Everyone” and the suckers (that’s you) will fall for the scam… hook, line and sinker. Step right up folks. Welcome to the modern day version of “The Greatest Show on Earth” that is ObamaCare.

What has the head and lower body of a tyrannosaurus, the neck and forearms of an Iguanodon, and can crush towering skyscrapers with a swish of its crocodile tail? The answer is no longer Godzilla. It’s the Baucus version of ObamaCare… which turned out to be a 1,502 page monster… written in a foreign language that few can comprehend… Washingtonese. 

Few can understand more than two or three consecutive pages much less the entire bill.  But it doesn’t really matter. The Baucus bill – all 1,502 pages – was a sham anyway… a phony… a fake… a cruel and heartless joke. Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee passed it knowing that it would never see the light of day. In fact, they passed it before it was even drafted. 

Senate Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee only passed it so that Harry Reid, Max Baucus, Chris Dood and Barack Obama could “merge” it with an ObamaCare bill that had already passed through Dodd’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. But they’re not really merging the bills… they’re cherry-picking… taking the parts of each bill they like… throwing out the parts they don’t. 

And, as you read this, that’s exactly what Harry Reid, Max Baucus, Chris Dodd and Obama surrogates are doing… they’re re-writing ObamaCare behind closed doors, in a smoke-filled room… under the cover of darkness. Expect them to try to ram it through Congress with lightning speed… as they did with the so-called “stimulus bill” … as they have done so many times in the past. 

You won’t be given time to read it. Our elected officials won’t have the time or the inclination to read it.  And when the sordid details become known, it will be too late. When everything is all said and done… your Congressman and your Senators will simply look at you innocently and say, “I didn’t know that was in the bill… we’ll have to do something about that.” But, of course, nothing will ever happen.

Even the liberal Washington Post admits that the public doesn’t support ObamaCare and that the President’s ratings are slipping because of his desire to sign a government takeover of health care:

“Obama’s approval ratings on health-care reform are slipping among his fellow Democrats… strong approval of his handling of the issue has dropped 15 percentage points since mid-September.”

 

That’s why they’re frantically rushing to pass ObamaCare… that’s why they’re meeting in secret… they are desperate to pass this Obamanation before you know what hit you. And if Obama can institute government-run health care, he will have won the war. Health care as you know it will be gone forever. Will bureaucrats in Washington usurp the doctor-patient relationship when it comes to making health care decisions for you and your family? Will waiting rooms begin to overflow and resemble the local Department of Motor Vehicles? 

Will private insurance carriers be strangled out of existence? Will health care will be rationed? 

Will you be told you can’t be scheduled for a crucial X-ray for a month… then nine months… then a year…? Will our cancer survival rates – presently the highest in the world -plummet? It’s not a scare-tactic. It could very well be reality. 

All these inhumane things inevitably happen when government practices medicine. They are characteristic of the socialist systems in Canada, Britain and Northern Europe. 

Obama promised change, but this Obamanation called “health care reform” is not what the American people signed up for. ObamaCare must be stopped. And it is easier than you think.

All it takes is either a simple email to your local representatives (both in the House and Senate), a telephone call or better yet, a visit to your local representative(s)’s office(s). Let them know in no uncertain terms that you do not want the federal government running your health care. Further state to them that they’re jobs will depend on this when the health care reform bill comes up for a vote very soon.

And do it now. Your future as well as future generations’ future depends on you. This folks, is the Republican Temple’s call to arms. Be proactive. Be loud. Be proud. And most importantly, be proactive. Take your country back today!
