Who's Medical Decisions? Analysis of ObamaCare

Thomas Sowell continues his demolition of ObamaCare with his typical accuracy. Love the fact that he is a black man too, that way the race card can't be used against him. Oh, and don't forget that Sowell is old (well past joining AARP) so its tough to use that against him.

As for a "death panel," no politician would ever use that phrase when trying to get a piece of legislation passed. "End of life" care under the "guidance" of "some independent group" sounds so much nicer — and these are the terms President Obama used in an interview with the New York Times back on April 14th.

He said, "the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out there." He added: "It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. That is why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance."

When famed bank robber Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks, he said: "Because that's where the money is."

For the same reason, it is as predictable as the sunrise that medical care for the elderly will be cut back under a government-controlled medical system. Because that's where the money is.

Despite incessant repetition of the fact that millions of Americans do not have medical insurance, hardy souls who have actually read the mammoth medical care legislation being rushed through Congress have discovered all sorts of things there that have nothing whatever to do with insuring the uninsured — and everything to do with taking medical decisions out of the hands of doctors and their patients, and transferring those decisions to Washington bureaucrats.

The serious, and sometimes chilling, provisions of the medical care legislation that President Obama has been trying to rush through Congress are important enough for all of us to stop and think, even though his political strategy from the outset has been to prevent us from having time to stop and think about it.

I think this article helps point out something that I have come to believe more and more. I think that we in this time are in a titanic struggle between good and evil, and between life and death both physically and even more spiritually, and I think this struggle is encapsulated in the healthcare bill. We have lived with the legalized murder of our babies for 36 years, and I believe it has directly led to this healthcare "reform" which will legalize the killing of all "life not fit for life." If we do not take a stand against what is happening in this country, I believe we will have to answer to our Maker.

I have to agree they are stealing our country with a multi-pronged attack. Stimulus full of pork for their buddies, Tarp for the bankers and wall street boys, car companies for the unions, cap and trade and now they want our medical care. It needs to be stopped.
