Nancy Pelosi Calls the Insurance Companies Villains

The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, was “true to form” last week, when she launched a scathing attack on the insurance companies. Despite a growing opposition to the government’s plan to socialize medicine, by even the more conservative Democrats also called the “Blue Dogs” who are in her own party, instead of lashing out at them, she decided to go after the insurance companies, calling them villains, according to The Huffington Post.

She reportedly described them as part of the problem in a major way.”Its almost immoral what they are doing, lobbying against public insurance plan option” She continued to say, “Of course they have been immoral all along, they are doing everything in their power to stop the public option from happening, and the public has to know about it”

Mrs. Pelosi did not stop there. She continued to say that it works so well for them, that they do not want subsidies. She said the insurance companies have had a good thing going for a long time, at the expense of Americans, and the health of the country. She claims it is tough to prevent the insurance companies from getting their way, and said “This is the fight of our lives”

It is obvious that Mrs. Pelosi’s attack on the insurance companies, and attacks by other Democrats last week, is the Democrats strategy to demonize those who oppose, or criticize the Obama Administration’s plan to socialize medicine. This is the strategy for the August recess. They will attack critics through attack advertisements in the media, and solicit the help of the liberal media, to join in the attacks on those who have genuine concerns about what is being proposed.

Why is it called a healthcare debate, if they only want to hear from those who support it? Have anyone ever called Mrs. Pelosi aside, and told her this is a democracy. Voters did not give up their freedom of speech when they were voted them into office. They have a right to speak, and to dissent, as provided for in the US Constitution. This socialized medicine if passed into law, will consume 16 – 20 percent of the US economy. The Democrats have voted down all the amendments that the Republicans have offered, because they want to push through their radical agenda, without any constructive input from the Republicans, insurance companies, healthcare personnel, the pharmaceutical companies and regular Americans, who are not comfortable placing their lives in the hands of the Democratic ideologues.

Republicans even though they are few in numbers, in the house and senate, represents 42 million voters. Is Mrs. Pelosi saying those 42 million people are not important? Americans are witnessing the first stages of a socialist and Marxist regime, because they want to silence the opposition, and anyone who does not agree with what they want to do this country. It is up to Americans to stop this debate and “shut down” ObamaCare now, because Mrs. Pelosi, and the other Democrats, are trying to shove a system that has failed in all the other countries that have tried it , and will fail here, if we go down the same path. The infrastructure to make it work efficiently, is not in place, and will take several years to put it in place, chief of which is training enough doctors and nurses, medical assistants, anesthesiologists and other health care professionals. Until this is in place the plan is “doomed” to failure, and a seven year old could figure this out. The other only explanation is that the government does not care, and this is a power grab, and will pursue this path even if it creates chaos. The ambitions of a few will enslave the will of the majority.

It may mean Americans marching up to Congress, when the new Congress starts in September, to show Mrs. Pelosi and her gang, that they work for us, we do not work for them. If they are so powerful now, what will happen if we allow them to control our healthcare as well? They have the power to deny treatment to those who oppose them. Just for those who are not aware, the Medical Review Board has already been appointed, and will be operating out of the White House. Our medical records which will be on line will also be headquartered at the White House. Does anyone else see how dangerous this is? The President and Democrats will have access to the health records of their opponents, which conveniently, they will be leaked to the press under the guise of “a security breach” This is tyranny, and this is what the people of Iran are fighting against. They are fighting for their freedoms, while we are trying to head down the same path they are trying to get rid of. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”

Healthcare Reform, or Health Insurance whichever name is used on a given day is wrong, if it pursued in the format the government propose.

1. Firstly, it is too expensive, $1.6 Trillion ($1,600,000,000,000). The infrastructure is also not in place, politicians and ideologues will be deciding our treatment, it will be inefficient and chaotic, services will be rationed causing death rates to increase, and people will suffer. Our parents and grand parents will no longer be entitled to surgeries, but starting from age 65 years they will be getting pills to control pain, rather than procedures to lengthen their life span.
2. Secondly, we are placing too much power in the hands of two few faceless, and nameless people. The Medical Review Board, along with our health records, will be stationed at the White House. This is sinister.
3. We will be trading our rights under the constitution for socialized medicine.

Just last week Robert Creamer, a supporter of socialized medicine, wrote an article in the Huffington Post, describing Republicans and their allies in the health insurance industry as “cranking up fear machine like producers of horror movies” He grouped the insurance companies with the right wing, and accused them of “using fear to move public opinion, and frighten key members of Congress, that their constituents will vote them out of office, if they support health care reform.

The writer encouraged the democrats to focus on the insurance executives, and cast them as the ones who deny people healthcare, just so they can make millions, and retire with golden parachutes, which is exactly what the Democrats starting doing last week. He further encouraged the Democrats to frame the debate as a struggle between the powerful, and the majority of Americans. This seems to be what the Democrats are trying to replace with the same agenda. What makes it different, however, is that they have political power to make laws and can use this power against us? If we do not oppose them, we will end up like Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran where we will no longer have a President, but a Supreme Leader.

The government is hell-bent on pursuing healthcare reform, despite the polls which indicate that the majority of Americans neither approve of the way it is being done, with only 12 percent of those polled believe that the government should tackle healthcare now. The Congress and the President refuse to listen, however, because they know what’s best for us.
