Friends -
Thanks for being a part of the team for Free Our Health Care Now!  In six weeks, over 465,000  people have signed saying no to government health care!   
The House health reform bill will outlaw private insurance coverage that is bought and sold in the open market.  Instead, Congress wants to force all private insurance outside the place of work to be purchased in an "exchange" created and controlled by the government.   Also, within the "exchange" insurance not approved by the government will be outlawed!   So much for  private plans!   So much for our ability to choose!
What kind of care will you get from the health plan the government does approve?  A new federal health board will decide whether your health care is "effective" or "appropriate."  According to Tom Daschle, the idea is based on Britain's model which has determined that one year of life is worth only $44,000.  The health board will consist of 17 bureaucrats appointed by the Secretary of HHS, whose job is to "enable clinicians, patients, consumers, and payers to make more informed health care decisions that improve quality and value."  I don't need the government to "enable" me to make decisions that improve quality and value for me.  Do you?
What can you do about all of this?

And the downfall of America too. As a nation we are already broker than broke. We are in debt up to our collective arses and China holds the paper. Obamacare will put the final nail in the coffin, from which our economy and our nation will never eacape.

Assuming it passes.  Less a done deal with each passing day, from the sound of things.

It will take down China as well. When our economy collapses they lose they largest single market and their investment evaporates as the value of the dollar does.
The saving grace of BO's methods are that it will cause the collapse of the entire world economy, bringing on a new dark age.
How the hell can THAT be a GOOD thing ?
Simple, It will be years if not decades before it is possible for the UN to intervene in America. They will have to re stabilize Europe, and accumulate the financial, and physical assets needed for such a long range intervention. That gives us a window of opportunity to kill off a large enough percentage of the known socialists to get our act together and reinvigorate the American culture.
We may wind up starting work with 18th and 19th century technology in order to get our infrastructure running again, but if we are ALL working FOR the Constitution we will be unbeatable again, if only a simple majority are working FOR the Constitution and the Ideals of the Founders we can instill more than enough fear into our domestic foes to cause them to either flee the country or lay very very low, in which case we still return to what this country is SUPPOSED to be.
