My OP is a compilation of facts, villains, and reasons for repealing the ACA. Be forewarned. This message was not written for bumper sticker mentalities.

I could spend all of my time dissecting the lies being told by individual Democrats to save the ACA but why bother? It is fair play to assume they are all lying. Oh hell! Why assume? I know they are all lying! There is no way in this world that Democrats are going to allow the important choices to remain in the individual’s hands. And just as I predicted in 2008 Democrats gave the country one gigantic, government-enforced, HMO with new HMO horrors added to the existing ones.

Am I being too hard on Democrats? Hardly! A snake is a snake; a Democrat is a Democrat. Snakes and Democrats do what they will do. They are creatures of habit no more able to change their ways than the earth can alter its orbit around the sun. A venomous snake may drowse in a bed of flowers, but it remains a deadly snake.

Long before the ACA was rammed down the public’s throat I posted many messages about the inherent cruelty built into universal healthcare. I often tied the millions of parasites who were sure to get jobs in the healthcare industry to mindless viciousness. As it turned out I underestimated the number; it’s 4,000,000 parasites for STARTERS according to Nancy Pelosi.

Palin v. Pelosi

Remember when Sarah Palin was attacked by liberals for her opposition to death panels before the public found out what was in the bill. The death panels that Democrats swore were not part of their proposed bill are, indeed, in the bill. Even today, in spite of everything that is known about the ACA, a venomous woman like Nancy Pelosi is put forth as a wonderful human being full of compassion, while Sarah remains the villain to liberals.

This article is about Sarah’s opposition to euthanasia before the ACA was passed:

Palin v. ObamaCare
By J. R. Dunn

Archived-Articles: Palin v. ObamaCare

Keep your own doctor

Then-Senator Hillary Clinton lied about keeping your own doctor on the NewsHour in 2007 before Barack Taqiyya beat her for the nomination. Gruppenführer Clinton used gestapo tactics in an attempt to eliminate choice when she was in charge of the original Hillarycare. Candidate Clinton promoting Hillarycare II cleverly used the words “American” and “Choices.”


Hillary Clinton: I have proposed the American Health Choices Plan. Here's how it would work: If you have private insurance, nothing changes. You keep that insurance. If you like your doctor you have, you keep him.

But if you don't have health insurance or if you don't like the insurance you have, you can choose from the same wide variety of private plans that members of Congress get to choose from.

At first I thought it was darn swell of her to allow individuals to keep their doctor if they have one. A close examination of her blessing reveals that she is not so choice-oriented when it comes to anyone entering the system for the first time. Senator Clinton never said how much choice she allows when an individual changes doctors. Nor did the gruppenführer say what happens to choice when it comes to seeing a specialist for the first time?

Aside from a loss of choice, universal coverage means that American taxpayers will have to work harder to pay for it. By no means does working harder guarantee that two working spouses will get more coverage for their own families in return for keeping less of their incomes. Productive Americans will get less of everything including a lot less individual liberty even without coverage for the millions of illegal aliens that Democrats sneaked into their legislation in addition to 10,535 regulations.

Clinton’s next lie put administrative costs at 3 percent:


Senator Hillary Clinton: For all those people who believe that, you know, the private system is by far the best, they're going to have more than 250 options to choose from. And for those people who like the fact that Medicare, which ensures private choice, only has a 3 percent administrative cost, they'll get to make that choice.

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/politics/july-dec07/healthcare_12-25.html

Why did Senator Clinton cite Medicare’s administrative costs when many experts are saying that Medicare is rife with fraud and mismanagement? If the experts are correct, three percent of hundreds of billions of dollars every year is excessive when the only administrating done by government administrators requires nothing more than a rubberstamp for authorizing payments.

It is impossible to convert 3 percent to a dollar amount without knowing how much one hundred percent represents; so I will take a guess and say that three hundred billion dollars a year represents 100 percent. Three percent of that total amounts to nine billion dollars a year. That is a lot of dough earmarked for only one government agency of iffy competence.

Reality

After Hillarycare II is up and running, those of us who still visit the doctor of our choice will disappear through attrition. Choosing one’s own doctor will vanish with us no matter how much Democrat liars doublespeak the issue of choice.

NOTE: Keep your own doctor implied that you could choose your own doctor. Based on statements made by Hillary Clinton and every other Democrat, I showed early on that you had to select a doctor from a list provided by the government if your doctor retired, or if you changed doctors for any reason (moving to another city, etc.), or you required a specialist.

The “Keep your own doctor” lie is the most dangerous lie of all because patients cannot avoid the lousy doctors the ACA forces on the sick. It’s either that or no doctor at all.

Not only will many Americans be forced to go to government doctors like Joseph Mengele the attitude among everybody in the healthcare industry will shift to where the poor and the frightened will be treated like dirt and/or guinea pigs. Today, Americans can still refuse recommended treatment, medication, and surgery. Signing up for the ACA has one ironclad guarantee: Your Right of refusal will disappear with bedside manner. See the Eric Hoffer quote following my signature.

Also, butchers seldom lost their licenses, or did jail time, before the ACA. What the hell do you think it will be like after the ACA is fully implemented? Not only will butchers and run of the mill incompetent doctors and nurses get more protection under the ACA, every low-level parasite that harms a patient intentionally, or unintentionally, will have the additional protection of their labor union. The ranks, and the coffers, of the SEIU are expected to overflow after millions of parasites chow down at the public trough.

Also, the awards in malpractice lawsuits were always the principal reason for keeping hospitals and doctors in line. More so than jail time, or the Hippocratic oath sworn by doctors. Malpractice awards are limited under the ACA. So-called Tort Reform means limits on malpractice awards and patient protection irrespective of the claims made by ACA advocates.

I can understand Republicans wanting to reduce the incomes of trial lawyers, one of the Democrat party’s core constituencies, but why would Democrats go along with tort reform if not to protect healthcare professionals by limiting awards handed out by juries? Answer: There are a lot more parasites than there are trial lawyers on election day.

Socialized medicine abroad

Socialized medicine’s champions always point to healthcare systems in countries like England, Canada, and Cuba then tell us how wonderful they are. Here’s a few words about socialized medicine in foreign countries to show that it ain’t so wonderful.

For every horror story the Left tells about people without healthcare, there are 100 horror stories done to the sick under socialized medicine.

Before listing the horrors let’s look at the reason Democrats shutdown the government over the ACA rather than delay its implementation. Notice that the millions of parasites are not mentioned alongside the millions of beneficiaries:


President Obama’s refusal to sign a bill defunding or delaying his health care law and Republicans’ insistence that such measures be a part of any bill to continue funding government are what precipitated the ongoing government shutdown. Both sides are staking out firm positions because they are operating on the same assumption – that once Obamacare starts to roll out subsidies on Jan. 1., it will be impossible to undo, no matter how much of a disaster it is. Based on the experience across the pond, this may be exactly right.

As the Washington Examiner's Philip Klein detailed in an Oct. 3 special report from London, Britain's 65-year-old National Health Service is extraordinarily resistant to change.

XXXXX

Starting on Jan. 1 Obamacare will add millions of beneficiaries to Medicaid and hand out subsidies for individuals to purchase insurance. Even if the changes Obamacare is making cause severe problems for the nation’s health care system, it will become exceedingly difficult as a political matter for Republicans to strip away benefits from those already receiving them, no matter how shabby the benefits are.

In short: Democrats know that once parasites are seated at the public trough it will be impossible to unseat them. NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING, ever loses government funding. In fact, the opposite is always true. Once funding begins it grows and grows until “It is too big to fail.” Millions of parasites will bring the ACA to that point faster than any previous program got there. Democrats are racing to reach the point of no return before the next presidential election. Call it funding on steroids.

Now let’s look at a few horrors that came with socialized medicine in just one hospital.


. . . the recent scandal at Stafford Hospital in Britain, where as many as 1,200 unnecessary deaths were blamed in a government report on the appalling state of care. Nurses put trays of food out of the reach of immobile patients and left people to relieve themselves in their own beds instead of helping them go to the bathroom. In some cases, patients even drank out of dirty flower vases in the hallways because they couldn’t get water anywhere else. Under the Liverpool Care Pathway – first developed in the late 1990s – thousands of families were uninformed when their loved ones were removed from life support, and in extreme cases relatives were scolded by nurses for trying to give water to their dying loved ones.

The inhuman treatment mentioned in the above excerpt were administered by the same personality types that will dominate the millions of parasites who will soon staff hospitals, clinics, and testing labs in every state. You can take this to the bank. Nobody in government will suffer at the hands of the cruel bums they are hiring for the rest of us. Elected officials and government employees will receive the best of care just as they do in every Communist country. Patient care in the nation’s capital will excel in every respect.

Great Britain’s wonderful socialized medicine is a road map to where Barack Taqiyya’s ACA is taking the country.

Patient protection?

Don’t confuse the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act with actual patient protection since it does nothing to protect the already sick against fatal infections, incompetent doctors and nurses, addictive drugs, death panels, and AIDS-tainted blood from Africa.

I would be remiss if I did not mention AIDS contaminated blood purchased from Africa. Have you ever wondered why the MSM dropped the contaminated-blood issue? The practice of buying blood from Africa was not stopped but the reporting has. It is not logical to believe that blood contaminated with AIDS is kept out the system at the same time the UN is always sucking around for more money to fight the AIDS epidemic in Africa.

As bad as contaminated blood is, how many Americans know that staph infections picked up in hospitals kills more people every year than does AIDS? Today’s totals are hard to pin down because hospital lobbies, and United Nations charity hustlers, both have a vested interest in awarding the title to AIDS; nevertheless, I doubt if anything has changed since 2007:


Oct. 16, 2007 -- It appears that more people in the U.S. now die from the mostly hospital-acquired staph infection MRSA than from AIDS, according to a new report from the CDC.

More U.S. Deaths From MRSA Than AIDS

Before hundreds of billions more are sent into the healthcare system —— hospital deaths caused by hospitals should be reduced to zero.

Aside from the other horrors the number of patients that die each year in hospitals from infections they picked up in the hospital is tragic beyond words.

One of my heartfelt reforms focused on hospital deaths caused by staph infections that patients pick up in unsanitary hospitals. Conditions will worsen after millions of parasites get jobs with lifetime tenure attached. Unions will see to it that no dues-paying, filthy, lazy bum will ever be fired.

J. R. Dunn puts deaths from iatrogenic "superbug" infection at 30,000 a year in Great Britain. This excerpt is from the same article about Sarah Plain:


The British National Health Service, the mother of all nationalized health systems, has had what amounts to a "death panel" system since 2005. Under the terms of the Mental Capacity Act, patients unable to communicate with hospital personnel are considered to be "due to die" and are removed from all forms of life support, including food and water. In other words, given the same treatment meted out to Terry Schiavo.

The most notorious recent case involving this act occurred last year when Mrs. Ellen Westwood, an 88-year-old retiree, entered Birmingham's Selly Oak hospital for shoulder surgery. While recovering she caught the inevitable iatrogenic "superbug" infection, a daily occurrence in British hospitals, and one which costs up to 30,000 lives a year. Without further ado, the Selly Oak doctors declared Mrs. Westwood "due to die" and began the process of shutting her down.

Based on populations alone, American hospitals are only slightly better than hospital-caused deaths in the UK. America’s population is over 300,000,000 while the UK has a population of 61,000,000. The number of deaths caused by hospitals is higher in Great Britain. That will change due to the aforementioned protections the ACA will provide.

Even if you cite the number of deaths caused by US hospitals the number of deaths from staph infections in the UK is a condemnation of socialized medicine everywhere. Hospital-caused deaths is a fair argument to use against those who point to socialized medicine in the UK as a model of compassion and efficiency.

Incidentally, the lower number of deaths in US hospitals has a lot to with lawsuits, and the fact that cruel indifference is yet to reach the levels found in UK hospitals.

Stimulus for patients

The public is treated to a wonderful image of a successful industry saving lives. The public seldom hears about the filth that hospital patients are subjected to every day. I would not send another penny into the health care system until that industry cleans up its act from top to bottom —— and I mean a provable permanent housecleaning. Before hundreds of billions of tax dollars are added to the healthcare system —— hospital deaths caused by unsanitary conditions should be reduced to zero.

The unsanitary conditions in existing hospitals has long been one of my complaints. Conditions can only worsen after the parasites dominate hospital staffs. My contention has been that single-occupancy rooms would go a long way towards reducing infections acquired in hospitals, not to mention improving overall patient comfort and care.

I suggested that existing hospitals be given five or so years to convert to single occupancy rooms. Any hospital failing to comply after the grace period has elapsed would lose ALL government reimbursements —— federal and state. Such a move toward reform on behalf of patients instead of reform designed to enrich insurance companies and Wall Street would spark a wave of new, “healthier” hospitals once the cost of new construction is compared to the cost of conversion.

Since hospitals are profit-making enterprises the owners could be given tax breaks to make the transition. I would not give them a penny of taxpayer money directly whether they build new, or convert existing hospitals. There is also a built-in financial stimulus to an economy that everybody in Washington claims needs fixing; a stimulus that actually helps everyone rather than just enriching insurance company executives and Wall Street sharpshooters.

Anybody who wants to followup can find plenty of medical horror stories out there that have nothing to do with lack of coverage. Here are three articles that will give you a good handle on where socialized medicine ends up:

Nancy Pelosi Joins Women's Hall of Fame

Hillary Clinton recently got something called the Liberty Freedom Medal in addition to being in the National Women's Hall of Fame. Not to be outdone, Pelosi is joining Clinton.

It seems that honoring female bums like Nutty Nancy and Hillary Clinton is the name of the game as soon as the public begins to see them in their true light. Most Americans pretty much know what Clinton is by now. Aside from Pelosi being an accomplished liar, and thief whose family business got millions in tax dollars, not many know that Pelosi is:


. . . a career politician who decades ago sold out the United States of America to the United Nations.

XXXXX

In her diatribes against witch-hunting Republicans and her never-ending pitches for ObamaCare, people may forget Pelosi’s hardcore activist past. While Barack Obama was out agitating on the streets of Chicago, Pelosi was patiently shepherding the destructive UN Agenda 21 through Congress. On March 29, 1993, she introduced a joint resolution (H.J.RES166) to renew the call for the United States to “assume a strong leadership role in implementing Agenda 21 and other Summit agreements”, eventually gathering 67 co-sponsors for her bill, about 32 of whom are still in Congress.

In a speech entitled “From Swords to Plowshares”, delivered in the House of Representatives on June 4, 1992, Pelosi cheered the arrival of Gorbachev to the Presidio as a tenant.

“The National Park Service is actively seeking ideas for programs and tenants at this spectacular site. Last month, former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev visited the Presidio to propose that the Gorbachev Foundation/use be located at the Presidio when the army leaves. In his words, “it is wonderful and symbolic that a military base is being converted for use by the people’.

“As the cold war ends,” Pelosi continued, “it is, indeed, fitting that this army garrison—one of the oldest in the United States—will be transformed to a monument to peace, environmental preservation and recreation as a global park.”

Less than a year after Pelosi’s fawning words, Gorbachev and his American pre-funded $3.5-million Gorbachev Foundation moved into new a white, shingled bay front house at the historic Presidio overlooking the Golden Bridge.

Next, avowed Communist Gorbachev brought his State of the Art Forum to the Presidio.

Pelosi whinnies from the pastures

The problem with every political award is that the worst of humankind are listed alongside decent individuals. The Nobel Peace Prize is the classic example. A quick check of the women previously inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame shows Hillary Clinton, Madeleine Albright, a sprinkling of entertainers, authors, and women I never heard of. Now, Pelosi is gong to join them. Give me a break. I simply will not believe that a majority of American women admire traitors, liars, and thieves because they are women. A man with Pelosi’s rap sheet would have been run out of government a long time ago.

Finally, take a look at the criteria for induction:


The value of their contribution to society, to significant groups within society, or to the progress and freedom of women.

Their contributions to art, athletics, business, government, philanthropy, humanities, science, and education.

The enduring value of their achievements.

Notice that every one of the above standards leaves the door open to interpretation; hence, the worst kind of UN-loving, America-hater is eligible.

Based on Pelosi, Clinton and Albright, I’m pretty sure the Hall of Fame committee uses the same criterion Time Magazine uses to pick Person of the Year; i.e., “for better or for worse.”

Inducting another villainess into the National Women's Hall of Fame “. . . for worse.” is not a big deal if I’m right about the selection criterion.
