No, what we need to do is reform this thing ourselves. For example, California and all the Western states have an initiative process. We have to take charge of this thing through the states, by passing amendments to the state constitutions and passing laws forcing the states to kick in where the federal government programs fail.
We cannot allow the Federal government alone to decide who gets treatment and who doesn’t. So, for example, we add on to this thing ourselves by forcing states through the initiative process to cover any gap in coverage. In that way, at least in the western states, there will be no death panels, because the states will be forced to kick in to pay for any treatment that Medicare or the federal plans fails to cover. And if some states have it, you know others will get pressure to do the same.
We can also have an abortion tax. If the Feds can tax elective surgery so can the states. That tax should equal the cost of the procedure, and the proceeds of the tax can go to orphanages.
That will, of course, bury the states in debt. And that, in turn, will force our state representatives to pass more funding bills to bail out the states. While it is not my intention to be an anarchist, we have to take the initiatives where we can. The federal government has refused the will of the people, so the will of the people must be heard through the states. And since we cannot will this legislation away, we have to make bend it and shape it to suit our will as best we can.
In talking to people that I know, everyone is against this and is in a rage over it. We have a group of thugs destroying our Constitution; destroying our country; destroying our economy; while plotting to steal our freedom behind closed doors in the dark of night. Now what? Not one of the slimes that signs on to this tyranny should be allowed to ever hold office again. Even Democrats, once they realize, they will face a Death Panel won’t be forgiving of their elected RAT. I never believed that I would live to see this treason. My father fought in World War II and in the Korean War. Thank God he’s not here to witness this tyranny. If he were still alive, these Fascists would surely sign his life away. The words I would use to describe Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Nelson, Schumer, and the whole lot of Gestapo agents would be banned by the Mods.
