WEGO Health

I thought perhaps someone should start a conversation about the new Health Care Reform that is trying to be passed. I am standing here in the middle of a new discussion and not sure if you all want to hear of know that a 10,000 lb gorilla is typing this subject. LOL
I am not sure if you all want to speak about it. I personally have done some digging into the Bill and frankly it is scary. If passed it will take a few yrs approx 4 to get all the computers talking to one another in every state,& city in the United States.
Before I go any further I want to know if you who are on this particular dystonia site know what is going to happen if this thing passes. Our health care as we know it will not be as we know it today.

The more I look into this the more worried and anxiety has started to set in worse than usual. Our coverage will be not what you are hearing on abc,nbc. The news from these stations owe O'Bama.

I wrote a letter recently see below...Also some pages of the Bill so you can get started and get the word out

We Must Fight & Say "NO"

Hi Everyone,

All of us have been bombarded by the news media with comments on what's happening in Washington, DC with respect to Universal Health Care and, it seems that no one appears to know all of what's included in the bill. It has over 1,000 pages and that does take a long time to read...if it's read at all.

Yet, some things are starting to creep out and they are somewhat scary to say the least. Now we know that it may not pass at all or just some of it will pass in a condensed version, but we do know of some of the provisions of it at this point.

Just some of the "buried" items of interest which may appear in the final bill: The 1)Government will advise the doctors on how much money they can make. How many doctors will pull the "plug" and do something else when they are told that?
2) Health care will definitely be rationed. Would you, in all honesty want that? Some people are saying this bill should be entitled, " Bye Bye Grandma".
3) Government mandates will be created for people on Medicare to "discuss" end of life choices for them and these mandates will be gone over every 5 years.
4) The government will become very active in your life – not you anymore.

This is just a taste of some of this bill. We will be a socialist land with a beau crate telling us what procedure we can have or not have. We will not have choice as we know it. Many Dr visits will take along time to get scheduled if at all they get scheduled. Our elderly parents will die before we can get them in the hospital.The Dr’s will be mandated what they can do and not do. O'Bama is saying we can keep our existing plan but that is a lie.

I myself feel very sad that we have come to this. People where promised “Change” and here it is.

President O’Bama personal health care plan will not change or anyone that serves in the White House now or in the past. They are safe.



Please find out who your Congressman & Federal Representatives. Find out who represents you and your choices. We as a community can stop this. Say NO to this Universal Health Plan. Write Letters to there offices...Make your voice heard. They will be taking a recess in August. If you know where he or she lives write them.

Call there offices and make your voice heard.



Next I beg you to become more involved by watching the news. FOX gives you fair and balanced news. Other broadcasters are not promoting the entire truth. They worship O'Bama.



Pass this letter to all who need to read it that may not realize what is going on. We are about to get our freedoms taken from us. I don't know about you, but I do not want Washington beaurcrates pulling the plug on my Mother, Father, sisters, brothers, cousins, friends or myself without my family making that decision if it needs to be done.



Sincerely,



Eileen Donahue

hi Beka,
I am pensive at this point to comment. My dystonia acts up real badly when I know he is speaking. He made me ill tonight because he is not speaking the truth on many subjects.
I will give my opinion when I am not so upset ok? Lene

Understood Lene-
First of all, as a practicing healthcare worker, there is no doubt that somesort of healthcare reform will pass regardless if speeches make you ill. What made me even more ill was the response of the republican "YOU LIE " during the speech.. Civility is a must as well as is educating yourself about the exact bill. You will not loose your doctor , choice, will provide portability, accessibility, prevention of high malpractice suits.. unneccessary tests.. etc..
Still thinking about the impact that is coming...
The way the US system is now- will not last during our lifetimes.. now which would be worse ??

Just got back from Myrtle Beach and I cannot believe how afraid some American's are of universal health care and some of the advertisements are really out there and who do people think are paying for all these ad's it's the lobby groups for the insurance industry. They are useing millions of peoples money to put fear into people's heads and there is no out cry about this but there is for universal care for every American from the smallest child to the oldest adult to the sickest to the healthest. We all need care at some point in are lives and by the sounds of it, the one the US has now it is not working, I know you have seen the few who are not happy with our care either but I wonder how they would truly feel if they woke up tomorrow without it, it's always easy to complain about something you've always taken for granted.
