Health Care Memorandum Opinion

Proposal defines demanding compliance as felony with penalty of 5 years, $5,000

Texans take their rights seriously.

A bill that has been prefiled for the 2011 state legislative session creates penalties of up to $5,000 in fines and up to five years in jail for anyone guilty of the “felony” of attempting “to enforce an act, order, law, statute, rule or regulation” of Obamacare, the president’s plan that effectively nationalizes the health-care decision making process.

The plan by Texas Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler, effectively would nullify the federal health care legislation in his state.

At least, that is what the bill that “relates to federal health care legislation” says:

The federal Act:

1. is invalid in this state;
2. is not recognized by this state;
3. is specifically rejected by this state; and
4. is null and void and of no effect in this state.

The Obama Administration is now acknowledging what we have warned about all along – the national healthcare takeover bill is a terrible job-killer. 

The Health and Human Resources arm of the White House has been very busy granting waivers to companies who have said, “Give me waivers or give me layoffs!”  Check out the websites below for a Fox News You Tube on the issue and a list of over 100 companies who have recently received waivers from the requirement of providing expanded healthcare coverage to their employees.
 
We’re still waiting on the Administration to admit that the national healthcare takeover is also an unconstitutional restriction on our liberties and one of the most, if not the most, ill-advised bills ever rammed down the throats of the American people.

I went to high school in the 70′s, and spent many a night at my friend’s apartment watching Monty Python’s Flying Circus on “late night” PBS. Many of their skits and movies are comedy classics – The Parrot Sketch, The Cheese Shop Sketch, Argument Clinic, many others. But one sketch in particular – The Hospital Sketch – has a rather prescient resonance that is both hilarious and haunting.

John Cleese and Graham Chapman are two witless doctors who are more concerned with impressing the Hospital Administrator (played by Eric Idle) by arranging expensive-looking equipment in the delivery room than they are in the welfare of their terrified pregnant patient. I’ve seen the sketch many times over the years, and it has never failed to evoke guffaws of laughter. But lately, it just doesn’t seem very funny.

Statement by Brewer Obama Care

I know, I know.  It’s shameless self-promotion.  But Mark Levin is, well, the Great One.  He is a source of great inspiration to me, a truly Great American.  Unafraid, uncowed by the Alinsky-ites and the race-hustlers, Levin speaks truth in the face of Orwellian spin by a shamelessly biased politico-media complex.  Levin’s book Liberty and Tyranny is much more than a Conservative Mainfesto; it is a roadmap to victory over the statists that have insinuated themselves at all levels of our government and our culture.

The thought that Mark Levin actually read something I wrote, and encouraged others to read it, is deeply gratifying and humbling. 

The post at David Horowitz’s NewsRealBlog is here.

Hugh Hewitt interviewed Senate minority leader John Boehner a few days ago, and could not get Boehner to commit to a rapid legislative agenda to repeal and reverse the democrat’s leftist legislative cramdown after the midterms in November. Boehner hemmed and hawed, sounding every bit like the establishment inside-the-beltway career politicians that got us into the dire economic mess that we’re in now.

An oldie, but goodie from Obama:

And that means that no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period.

When Texas doctors start opting out of Medicaid, patients will not get to keep the doctors, especially specialist, they like. According to the Dallas Morning News, doctors fear cuts in Medicaid payments and are threatening to opt out. They cannot afford it.

Things may get worse under ObamaCare.

Update: Edited Obama quote into a block quote for clarity.

Congressman Ciro Rodriguez is a Democrat from Texas. He unseated Republican Henry Bonilla a few years ago.

At the most recent city commission meeting, the attorney, who the city will pay $24,000 to redistrict the city, mentioned Rodriguez. The attorney recognizes that incumbency matters in redistricting. He also fought the Texas redistricting the state Republicans did and represented LULAC or some other Hispanic organization like LULAC. Viva La Raza!

But I digress. This post is about Congressman Rodriguez. Can he handle the truth when voters confront him with ObamaCare? (Via Breitbart Tv)

This Republican ad was posted on YouTube in February, 2010. 

Jake Tapper of ABCnews has acquiesced to liberal tweeps and the White House and deemed “ObamaCare” a pejorative. It will not be used anymore.

Say it ain’t so! How can this be? Pejorative is defined as having a negative connotation. It’s a disparaging remark.

The question that everyone is asking is “how can it be a pejorative if Obama’s proud of his accomplishment?”

Better yet, you would think he would want to own the rainbow farts right?

I happen to agree with AnaJay: Since “reform” defined indicates improvement, can we object to the use of the term “Health Care Reform”?

What is AARP’s position on Arizona’s new anti-illegal immigration law? 

The AARP is SILENT on this issue, despite the fact that a broad majority of Americans support Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law.  

• AMAC supports Arizona in their fight against Illegal Immigration.
• AMAC is opposed to those trying to label this legislation as “Racist.”
• AMAC is opposed to those calling for boycotts of Arizona.

Join AMAC’s effort to SUPPORT ARIZONA!  

Go to www.TearUpYourCard.com or call 1-888-AMAC-006 (888-262-2006).  

AARP backed ObamaCare to the bitter end, urging Congress to “Get Health Care Done.” This despite the fact that a majority of Americans OPPOSED that legislation. But AARP is silent on the Arizona law, which a majority of Americans SUPPORT.  

AMAC SUPPORTS ARIZONA! So can you.

Come on – did you really believe that nationalization of the health care industry would lower costs?

According to a report in the decidedly left-of-center USA Today, the nationalization of our health care system aka “Obamacare” will neither lower costs nor increase access to health care:

President Obama’s health care overhaul law will increase the nation’s health care tab instead of bringing costs down, government economic forecasters concluded Thursday in a sobering assessment of the sweeping legislation.

No one really believed that Obamacare was going to lower costs.  That was a canard, “feel-good” fodder for the masses.  The real goal was acquisition of political power.  Well, now they have it.  From now on, some pencil-neck government bureaucrat will have the authority to award or deny you the health care you need.

Feels good, doesn’t it?

The other day, a reporter asked Senator Harry Reid why the general public was still so down on Obamacare.  The democrats had been saying, essentially, “Wait until we pass Obamacare.  You’ll see.  The American people are going to LOVE it once they see what’s in it.”  Well, that has not happened.  As many people hate Obamacare now as before.  According to Rasmussen, 54% of the nation’s likely voters still favor repealing the new law.  This number is virtually unchanged from two weeks ago.

Reid said this to Greta Sustern on FoxNews:

Now that the legislation passed, it’s amazing how much different people’s attitude is, I mean traveling on an airplane people are so nice to me, it wasn’t that way before. We have people sending me notes in church, you know, I have a disabled daughter, thank you very much for taking care of her. I mean, people have changed, even the Republicans have changed their tune.

Really, Harry?  Your poll numbers do not reflect this change in attitude toward you or your policies.  The latest Rasmussen poll has Harry Reid at a total unfavorable rating of 62% ( 53% very unfavorable + 9% somewhat unfavorable)

It is very unsettling to reflect on the idea that people may actually pay homage to politicians like Reid, thanking them for their health care.  Doesn’t Reid’s account above expose the lie made by Obama and the Democrats that no government bureaucrat would ever come between you and your doctor?  If that were true, why would anyone thank Reid for their health care?  This is very frightening stuff.

President Barack Obama:

But the thing is though, you have to love some of the pundits in Washington. Everying single day since I signed the [Obamacare] reform law, there’s been another poll or headline that said “Nation still divided on health care reform – polls haven’t changed yet!”

We’ll yeah. It just happend last week. It’s only been a week!

But if polls would have soared through the roof, heh. Well, the president would be everywhere.
