Leaked paper reveals plan to cut surgeries through socialized medicine!

Here is a foreshadow of things to come if this "ObamaCare" plan gets passed written by Dr. Douglass.

Of course, Obama denies it!

Well, (sarcastically) that satisfies me after all Obama is just so honest!

I just can't believe how ignorant some people are to believe that through socialized medicine everyone will be taken care of by the gov't. With a trillion dollar deficit, do you really think Obama is going to care about little old aunt telly's heart surgery, wake up!

There is no doubt at this point that Obama supports abortion, well euthanasia is just the other side of that deadly coin!

If aunt telly is gone (dead), then the gov't not only saved money by not having "approved" the surgery, but now they are saving on not having to pay aunt telly her social security check each month.

Yes, it is heartless and mean, but look into the horror stories of Canada and the United Kingdom that the MSM (mainstream media) will not tell you. You can google and put some faces to the tragedies of a govt that cares more about money than human life.

President Obama has implied that under his healthcare plan, medical decisions wouldn't be made on the basis of cost. Yet up in Canada, a country already living in the "utopian" world of socialized medicine, health authorities are now considering cutting over 6,000 planned operations scheduled for this year.

According to a leaked document from the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, in order to make up for a $200 million budget deficit, the organization is considering cutting over 6,000 surgeries and closing over 25 percent of its operating rooms (after all, if you're canceling surgeries, what do you need the operating rooms for?).

Spokeswoman Anna Marie D'Angelo confirmed that the document is the real deal, but tried to douse the fire by reassuring the public that it was only a "planning document."

So anyone on a waiting list for neurosurgery, vascular surgery, ophthalmology, or any of 11 other critical surgeries can rest assured that their health authorities are only "considering" forcing surgeons to hang up their scalpels.

Don't you feel better now?

The president of the BC Medical Association, Dr. Brian Brodie, said, "Why would you begin your cost-cutting measures on medically necessary surgery? I can't think of a worse place."

He called the plan a "nightmare."

I couldn't agree more.

Feeling anti-social toward socialized medicine,

We've Figured Him Out

Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?

Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:

The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.

They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.

They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a “community organizer,” Illinois state legislator, and Senator.

The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.

Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.

The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill — a great idea in theory — was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.

Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.

The American people already know that Mr. Obama’s plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be — a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.

These are perilous times. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to “protect us” from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man.

Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms.

There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America.
