Arlen Spector met with constituents about health care reform. I think the people in Pennsylvania know very well what ObamaCare represents: expansion of government at the expense of personal freedoms. I’m amazed that our representatives are so quick to throw us all to the wolves for something that we do NOT want!

Obama, in defense of his signature piece of legislation, says “I don’t want death panels“. Then again, he is putting control of our health coverage (and the benefits we receive) in the hands of a group of political appointees who are essentially above the law. Need surgery? Sorry, the Panel doesn’t think it will be effective for you. Try some bed rest and antibiotics. Does your doctor think you need a particular drug? Sorry, the Panel doesn’t think that drug is effective for you. No dice. The intent of comparative effectiveness studies and the language of the law makes his desire very dubious. My thought: they will pull then plug if the savings make sense.

Obama sets up an email address to collect information on those who dissent. Hmmmm….if this isn’t fascism, I don’t know what is. I think its sick that citizens are now accused of being corporate plants or political enemies bent on destroying the Obama administration. I’m wondering if anyone will report me….?

I will conclude my post with some words from Adrian Rodgers:

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first steal from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
