Our great president Ronald Reagan passed away in 2004, but he said something that still resonates today.
Reagan said: "One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can’t afford it.”Yes, Reagan was hired as a spokesman by the health care industry to oppose Medicare. He believed Medicare would bring socialized medicine to all Americans, Reagan was wrong.
Boy does that resonate!
It sounds like President Reagan had the foresight to see the dangers of Obamacare.
Even more amazing is that Ronald Reagan spoke those words in 1961, before he ever ran for office.
Yes, as a health care industry shill. He was reading a script that someone wrote for him.
But Reagan's comments are not surprising if you understand liberalism.
Creating a national health care system has been a major priority for the left wing for over 50 years!Indeed, because the system the right likes screws millions out of health care.
Time and again the Congress and the American people have rejected socialized medicine.
Care to provide some examples of socilized medicine the US has rejected? I cannot think of one example. HillaryCare was an HMO run by private enterprise.
Now Obama is pushing for a radical takeover of one-sixth of the U.S. economy.
But Obama is perhaps the most clever liberal ever. He knows the American people would never go for a national system like they have in Britain or Canada.
Then why does the World Health Organisation ranks is the UK 18th in the world and Canada is the 30th while the US is only ranked 37th? Cuba, a third world country, is ranked 39th.
So his plan calls for several steps for Obamacare to become a reality.
Help us stop his plan
First, he lies and tells people "you keep your doctor, you keep your insurer."
At the same time he creates a "public option" -- allowing any business to move its employees into the public system.
That is the choice of the employer and the employee. Both will now have additional health care options.
He knows what you know this will create a mass exodus from private insurers to the cheaper, taxpayer subsidized public system.
Meanwhile, he plans to add 50 million new patients - including illegal aliens to the system.
So what. Americans pay twice as much for health care than the rest of the industrial world. Why would anyone want to maintain an inefficient gold plated system that pays $ millions to CEOs who are operating a monopoly.
Reagan understood that schemes like Obama's are not about providing quality health care.
It is about statism. It is about government control and dependence. It is a threat to your freedom.
Freedom? If I lose my job, I lose my health care. The way the system is right now, my health care is dependent upon being employed. I'd rather have my government provide health care because I know my government will be there for me. American private enterprise is flaky and unreliable. The entire free enterprise system blows up every 30 to 50 years.
As I write this, millions of Americans are going on vacation.
But Obama and his allies are preparing for a major assault on Congress next week.
You can count on it!
He has also called for a dramatic full session of Congress next week.
He is not calling this session to offer compromise.
What compromise has the right wing offered? Democratic control the House and the Senate. We don't need to compromise. We already tried to the bipartisan route. The GOP will have none of it.
He plans on using his national address to Congress as a giant pep rally to ram his radical program through Congress.
You betcha!
He wants the hoopla of a Congressional speech to overshadow his plummeting poll numbers, the mass protests we saw this summer at town halls across the nation and the growing anger toward his plan by Seniors.
We here at the League of American Voters can't go on vacation.
Actaully, his approaval rating has improved by 5 points in the past 4 days.
We can't compromise with Obama and the radical Democrats.
We need to fight back.
Good luck with that! The Astroturfers aren't dissuading any Democrats.
Right now, we are laying out our plans to continue rolling out our national TV campaign across the nation.
Our ad was created by Dick Morris, the Fox News analyst.
Dick says we are the number one group in the nation fighting Obamacare.
God luck. We will outspend you 3:1 like we did during the 2008 election.
So, we know many of our supporters are taking off this holiday — and we wish you a relaxing and fun time.
Did you have difficulty saying 'Labor Day?' But we are asking that you strike a blow for freedom, to stand with the principles of Ronald Reagan -- and join and donate to League of American Voters.
Please support us and join with us.
As Reagan said: "If not us, who? If not now, when?"
Exactly. That is is the precise view that the Democrats have of public health care.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Bob Adams
