Collins Report

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Smoking guns prove the point.

Barack Obama was caught on tape in 2003 and in 2007 expressing his intentions to kill private healthcare insurance companies and pledging his support for a “single payer” system of healthcare delivery.

There is nothing ambiguous about this Marxist anti capitalist president’s intentions. He has tried fooling us with words but his words are failing him now so he’s ready to ram Obamacare down our throats however he has to. He’ll order Reid and Pelosi to use any underhanded maneuver to get his way.

Whichever version of Obamacare finally passes will include the destruction of private health insurance to force Americans to turn to Obama’s “government option.”

Let’s learn from California’s failure

To get his way he’s trying to trick us by offering small business owners healthcare “exchanges” to “allow” them to buy their employees government run healthcare at low cost. This is a cynical ploy by Obama modeled on a California healthcare “exchange” system that was a crashing failure. That failure tantalizes Obama because it offers a way to get all of America into his clutches.

In 1993 California began offering its small businesses a chance to buy healthcare insurance from a state run exchange which was eventually handed off to a private nonprofit organization.

By 2006 the operation collapsed under real world market forces. Businesses with young healthy cheaper to insure workers bypassed the exchange and bought coverage directly from private companies. Soon the companies with older and more medically demanding employees were left in an ever shrinking pool of members. Rates for the remaining members went higher as their numbers went down and this continued until the system collapsed.

This is the truth Obama and the Democrats have been hiding about these exchanges. They love them precisely because they don’t work.

Can there be any doubt that nothing good can come from a 2080 page Healthcare bill that no one has read? Ask yourself why we have to run into the clutches of government run healthcare without proper examination of all of its meaning. Why do we have to run into a dark room with our eyes shut?

Do your homework and learn all you can about this whole issue because this is YOUR life these people are playing with. Anyone who controls the people’s healthcare controls the people. Will you watch them do this to you or fight back and stop them? Feeling angry and frustrated is just not enough. Fight this or become a slave.

What have you done to defend American freedom today?

Senate Democrats think we’re stupid. They actually believe hiding their criminal deals in 1502 pages keeps us from knowing what they’ re up to.

Harry Reid, who is ten points down to two unknown Republicans, has attempted to slip a provision into the Baucus bill exempting Nevada from the skyrocketing of Medicaid costs it will bring. Three other Democrat run basket case states Oregon, Rhode Island and Michigan slithered in as well.

Sneaky scheme

All of the Obamacare bills currently being considered “appear” to save money because they shift costs to the states. That way when he gets his bill Obama can claim it “saves” federal money.

Because our country has been handed over to Chicago gangsters by the dopes who voted for Obama and his Democrats, which states pay what will be decided by low lifes like Harry Reid.

Very clearly Democrat states, that can’t survive without extorted funds from other states, will be supported with money ripped away from states run under conservative principles. Oklahoma and Texas come to mind. As has become the expected pattern, this legislation will be used to punish achievers.

States with lower tax rates or unfriendly climates for illegal aliens or invoke States Rights under the Tenth Amendment will be forced to pay “tribute” to king Obama. He’ll need it to feed his lackeys in Michigan and Oregon.

Double edged sword

Fortunately this dirty deal will help kill the Baucus bill and quite likely all other similarly written bills. The Democrats are basically greedy and will not be able to resist the opportunity to over play their hand.

Other greedy Democrats will demand their state be exempted as well. It’s hard to see Arkansas and Louisiana’s Democrat Senators not sticking their hands into this pie. There is no honor amongst thieves after all.

Now we have text to read

This fight is a long way from over. The fact that diligent research by the Heritage Foundation brought this disgusting trick to light is proof that we can not allow ourselves to sleep on this issue. The Senate bill is put together. It’s a good bet its 1502 pages are one assault after another on our liberties

They NEVER sleep so we can’t either. Stay informed, write your representatives, talk to friends and family about the dangers in these bills and all of the socialist schemes Obama’s Chicago thugs are trying to beat us down with. This is our country and we can not let them destroy it.

In his remarks to 15,000 hand picked stoogies in Minnesota on Saturday Obama repeated his usual lies and half truths.

Appealing to these socialist simpletons Obama said, “We have public colleges and private colleges. The public colleges don’t put the private colleges out of business” implying it would be the same with public versus private healthcare plans.

Of course the crowd clapped like hungry circus seals without questioning this lame and ridiculous “analogy.”

Nobody in his hand picked crowd reminded Obama that Americans aren’t forced to go to college, so if a private college raises tuition its students aren’t forced into a public college. If a private college dropped a major its students aren’t “dumped” into local community colleges.

Obama’s weekly address lies

During his weekly speech Obama addressed Healthcare. His remarks beg a response.

He said “..my plan will offer more security …. And bring the cost of healthcare under control. Then he added his stock lie “… nothing in my plan would require you to change.”

Since Obama’s assault on our healthcare started we haven’t seen one word of “his plan” because he has no plan.

“I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficit. This plan will be paid for.”

The CBO says HR 3200 (the only plan in print) will cost $1trillion over the next decade and still leave 30 million Americans without coverage. Republican estimates set the cost at $2.4 trillion, so either way Obama is a liar.

Lying about costs

“If we ..slow the growth of healthcare costs by .010% each year we will reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over the long term.”

Millions of simpletons believe him, but Obama is a “Judas goat” trying to lead America to slaughter to the clutches of Marxist socialism. Keep fighting.

Debate? What debate?

Obama’s Saturday speech also included this line “We have had a long and important debate.”

When did this “debate” take place? Who spoke for America and who spoke for the Marxists? Did Obama refer to the tongue lashing average America patriots gave to tongue tied Democrats during the town hall meetings this summer?

Barack Obama is a “Judas goat” who will lead our country, your country, your family and all future generations to the slaughter of his Marxist healthcare plan. He is not interested in your health, my health or anybody’s health. He is interested in controlling every aspect of our lives because he is a dedicated Marxist who wants to destroy America so he remark our nation into France.

If you plan on sitting and watching; hoping for the best than plan on being a slave to Obama’s government.

Proverbs: 14;15

“The simpleton believes everything but the shrewd man measures his steps.”

Keep asking questions and keep demanding answers, because the simpletons won’t. This is the only way we can ever get the truth.

Americans enjoy pretending there’s only one level of care, available to all. I hope no one reading this column believes the rich and/or the politically connected would not receive care, both superior to, and faster than, the rest of us in a socialized system.

Accepting the obvious

Government run health services can provide healthcare for those groups that historically do not have it without breaking the bank. All but the poorest countries in the world provide some level of care to virtually all their citizens. They simply accept the fact that there are, and always will be, multiple levels of care (see: above).

In Honduras or Mexico, for instance, a nominal fee (~$100/yr) usually paid by an employer, allows individuals access to truncated basic, but decent, health services. Those that can afford it, of course, use private clinics and those who have no coverage queue up at the nearest “poor” facility, where the care is very limited.
(Even the clinics, since not required to suffer US style regulations and lawyers, are amazingly cheap: My son caught sometimes fatal hemorrhagic denge fever in Honduras several years ago and spent 3 days in a first class clinic. The bill for physicians, drugs, semi private room, etc: $500!)

In a tiered system, medical outcomes would be different, sometimes vastly different. They are now, but Americans prefer pretense, an activity more appropriate for young children.
The point is that in order to provide some level of service to all, and not drive the nation to bankruptcy, we must accept the obvious: A socialized system must be multi tiered and unequal, with concomitant unequal outcomes. That acceptance takes more honesty than we can, or likely will, muster. Ergo, the charade will go on until we open up the system and reduce third party payment or, the system is socialized, the treasury emptied, or both.

Honduras and Mexico supposedly backward countries have no trouble accepting the truth, i.e. health services will vary as to ability to pay. Americans seem to prefer Pied Pipers that sing mendacious and self serving songs of equality. Nevertheless, as Orwell observed in his “Animal Farm”, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

We must open health insurance coverage across state lines, encourage individuals to own and manage their own employer based or individual policies, go to a British style civil law system (loser pays BOTH sides’ legal fees), encourage inexpensive high deductible policies, and remove the mandate requiring hospitals to treat anyone that manages to stagger to the front door. Those of us with high deductibles are much more likely to ask a provider questions regarding necessity and cost, definite cost containment.

The net of this is that when one hears “denial”, he/she should not think of health services but of truth. Denial of truth is always costly, and this particular denial could cost us our health and our nation.

In 1984 our socialist northern neighbors rejoiced at passage of The Canada Health Act. It gave Canadians government paid for single payer health care and no more worries ever again; or so they wanted to believe. The provinces were so giddy over the new “gift” from their benevolent government they passed laws against private health care insurance. Some outlawed the private practice of medicine and mandated where Canada’s doctors could practice. Here’s the truth.

Today Americans have much greater access to modern medical technology than Canadians do. “Hospital Waiting Lists in Canada” a report from The Fraser Institute makes that clear.

These comparisons are for every one million patients.

Lithotripsy (kidney stone treatment) Centers: Canadians have 0.4 Americans have 2.1

Open heart Surgery Centers: Canadians have 1.6, Americans have 3.7

MRI machines: Canadians have 1.8 Americans have 6.1

CT Scanning machines: Canadians have 8.0 Americans have 15.3

Cardio Cauterizations Centers: Canadians have 2.8 Americans have 6.6

The wheels are falling off

The first crack in Canada’s healthcare monster has appeared. After 21 years of long lines inefficiencies sneaking into America for treatment and other fraudulent conduct forced on decent people a June 2005 Canadian Supreme Court reversed laws against outlawed private health insurance.

According to the Canadian Medical Association, (CMA) Canada’s health care system is in serious danger of collapse. They think things are so bad and so critical they are meeting next Sunday in Saskatoon to discuss what has to done.

The CMA’s president says “We all agree that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize. [Canadians] have to understand that the system that we have right now — if it keeps on going without change — is not sustainable. … you can get better care than what you’re getting.”

Here are some headlines and stories you were not allowed to see or read about because they speak honestly about Canada’s phony socialist healthcare system. Nevertheless, they make the case well. Remember this is the system Obamcare is modeled on.
