The Weapon of Mass Health Destruction

For years our military has been in search of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) in Iraq and Afghanistan, and our intelligence agencies have also been scouring the world to unearth these threats.
The heart and core of their plan is based on the most inhumane and unethical means of cutting costs: the rationing and denying of care. Even worse, the death panels that will ration and deny care, according to the Obama-Pelosi-Reid plan, will be unelected and unaccountable Federal bureaucrats.
On Sunday, November 22, Fox News Sunday interviewed Senator Arlen Specter, who was a Democrat before he was Republican before he was a Democrat. Senator Specter let the “secret agenda” of Obama-Pelosi-Reid slip.
When questioned on the fact that the Senate Bill cuts $500 Billion in Medicare spending over ten years, yet in ten years there will be 30 percent more people in Medicare, Senator Specter stumbled. He admitted that Congress has never cut Medicare benefits in its history and then confessed, “This Bill has a provision, a cure, in how we can cut Medicare: a Commission.”
That’s right, a non-elected Commission will be appointed by The President. Sarah Palin accurately desribed it as a “death panel.” Starting in 2015, this Commission will oversee Medicare and its expenditures, but this Commission will not be accountable to or recallable by the electorate. Initially, the Commission will oversee cuts to Medicare Advantage, the same program that services 10 million Seniors.
Using this type of panel to make such cuts, when it is not accountable to or elected by the public, is like bombing an enemy from 40,000 feet. Destruction occurs, but you don’t see their faces. By 2019, all limits are off, and every American can become the target of the carpet bombing.

“Final Health Care Bill May Require Proof of Insurance on Tax Returns”
By Molly Henneberg - FOXNews.com
SNIPPET: “As if U.S. tax forms aren’t complicated enough, Congress is expected to include in its final health care reform bill a requirement that nearly all Americans have health insurance — and prove it on their tax returns or face a fine.
The Internal Revenue Service would be tasked with enforcing this new health insurance mandate, prompting some in the tax preparation business to say this is going to add a whole new burden to the tax agency.”
SNIPPET: “In addition, the health care reform bill likely would require the IRS to dole out taxpayer dollars — subsidies — to low-income Americans to help them pay for health insurance, administer tax credits to small businesses to help them offer health insurance to workers and collect billions of dollars in new taxes on employers, insurance companies and medical device companies.”
