One thought on “How To Stop ObamaCare”

  1. Just as Democrats spent 70 years increasing the power of the presidency, and of the federal government and were appalled by what George W Bush did with all that power when he got a hold of it, there are some issues it may be fun to point out to the advocates of ObamaCare.

    1. If there is a public option, that means the government will pay claims and via the CPT code, drug codes, etc. know what they are for.

    a. Do we REALLY want a permanent government record of all the women who ever had abortions?

    b. Do we REALLY want a permanent government record of all the people who ever got birth control, and when?

    c. Do we REALLY want to make reporting of ‘reportables’ to law enforcement computerized and efficient?  These range from gunshot wounds (almost always reported) to allegations of domestic violence (which may just be the doctor sees a bruise on someone’s back and are seldom reported), having certain diseases, etc.

    d. do we REALLY want computerized medical records subject to the same review all insurance companies conduct wherein the government can see if the doctor says we are using illegal drugs, engaging in risky sexual practices, or doing other things that they think mean we’re not taking care of ourselves properly?

    e. Do we really want the government to hear all about whatever idiotic psychiatric or other diagnoses incompetent doctors enter into our charts – or even the valid ones – and then see what they do with the information?  E. g. a recent doctor charted I drink 2 tumblersfull of scotch daily when I told her I drink 2 beers a week and maybe a scotch and soda, maybe not, in addition.

    2. Do we really want the government caught between the rock and hard place of protecting our medical confidentiality and sharing the information above with local and state and federal law enforcement agencies?  E. g. some state that has a parental notification law decides to go check with the parents of all the girls who got abortions whether they were notified or not? 

    3. What about the issue of organ donation?  Everyone whines there are not enough donors. The government could pay to have everyone tissue typed and have it in their charts so they know who is a desirable donor….. then what happens?

    4. Palin’s death panels.  Of course, that could NEEEEEEEEVER happen here!  NEEEEEEVER.  At least not as long as we have a wonderful CARING and COMPASSIONATE guy like Obama in charge!  (try not to puke, please).  Ask all the democrats if they think President Cheney would be able to behave and not establish death panels to control costs so he didn’t have to raise corporate taxes on responsible companies like Halliburton and see what they say.  Remind them of all the stuff Dubya did using all that federal power Democrats created over the years.
