In GB few people get angioplasty for MI, instead they get the old 1980’s stand in…Thrombolysis. “Cost effectiveness” dictated this as the preferred treatment, never mind the fact it carries a higher risk of mortality and also never mind the fact that angioplasty can open up narrowed vessels as well as take care of the heart attack clot, resulting in better quality of life after the hospitilization. QUALITY OF LIFE means very little to the government, unless of course the quality of life is functional enough to work and thus pay taxes.

They couldn’t get it done even behind semi-closed doors under the Clinton Administration. They know that they could never get it done (at least not and keep their jobs) if there is full, free, fair and open debate. The only way they can start to nationalize health care is through a bill like this that:

1) completely hides it in the weeds,
2) lies about the real goal, and
3) is so loaded up with pork and earmarks (despite protestations of the FJSFTSOI* to the contrary) that we are all screaming so loud that they hope we won’t notice it.

If this remains in the final bill I will do everything I can to see to the defeat of Sens. Collins, Snowe and Specter. Based on primary results I might even have to move.

* FJSFTSOI = Former Junior Senator From The State Of Illinois, aka The One, PBHO, Commander In Thief or whatever else you choose to call the male individual over 35 years of age currently residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Wash., D.C., USA.

It certainly is another roundabout way (coupled with liberal and socialists support for legalized euthanasia) to save billions down the road… whittling down the baby boomer generation one (less) drip at a time.

We’re not the ones needing any convincing.

I implore you to have your staff get you on as many mass media outlets as possible in the next few days and state the case that many individual items in the overall Bill, will bankrupt our nation economically and socially in a very short time and that taken as a single all-encompassing package, will literally destroy our nation from within.

You’ll need to offer up examples of how this destructive force will be unleashed and don’t be shy in doing so.

The time is now to fight and be unrelenting in purpose.

Those who ridicule you, please ask them one question: “Have you read and understood the entire package and what are your opinions on ….” …..pick a topic or two that will make them pale.

Representative Shadegg, thank you for being there.

Cheers !

Thank you for your posting. Each passing day has brought out the ugly facts of what this spending bill hides. The people do not like this bill, but the Democratic majority are not listening. All I can say Rep. Shadegg is join with your colleagues, stand on the capitol steps and speak out.

These horrendous provisions in this disguised bill are an abuse of power. Let no opportunity pass that will allow the truth to be told to the American people. We give you our support.

…until you won’t be able to get healthcare unless you’re a member of the “right” party, or have contributed to the incumbent’s re-election campaign….

Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.
