Really Scary

This was forwarded to me and I thought more people should see it.
This letter appeared in the Indianapolis Star (which is owned by the
same people who own the Arizona Republic ) and was sent to a very popular
Indiana Senator. This just goes to show everyone what pressure these
Democrats are currently under, so continue to let them know how you feel
about the healthcare bill.

Shock to NBC This morning.


An Indianapolis doctor's letter to Sen. Bayh about the Bill(Note: Dr.
Stephen E. Frazer, MD practices as an anesthesiologist in Indianapolis ,
IN ) Here is a letter I sent to Senator Bayh.. Feel free to copy it
and send it around to all other representatives. -- Stephen Fraser


Senator Bayh,

As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care
bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by
the brazenness of the government's proposed involvement in the
patient-physician relationship. The very idea that the government will
dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful
in designing a health care system that works for all. Every physician I
work with agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the
proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a
disaster if passed.

I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the
following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot
possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the
country and our fellow citizens.

Page 22 of the HC Bill: Mandates that the Govt will audit books of
all employers that self-insure!!

Page 30 Sec 123 of HC bill: THERE WILL BE A GOVT COMMITTEE that
decides what treatments/benefits you get.

Page 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill: YOUR HEALTH CARE IS RATIONED!!!

HC benefits for you. You have no choice!

finances & a 'National ID Health card' will be issued! (Papers

The Govt will tell YOU what salary you can make.

Page 145 Line 15-17: An Employer MUST auto-enroll employees into
public option plan. (NO choice!)

Page 126 Lines 22-25: Employers MUST pay for HC for part-time

this as employers will be forced to reduce its work force, benefits,
and wages/salaries to cover such a huge expense.)

Page 149 Lines 16-24: ANY Employer with payroll 401k & above who does
not provide public option will pay 8% tax on all payroll! (See the

individual taxes. (Americans will pay.) (Like always)

Page 195 HC Bill: Officers & employees of the GOVT HC Admin.. will
have access to ALL Americans' finances and personal records. (I guess
so they can 'deduct' their fees)

Page 203 Line 14-15 HC: "The tax imposed under this section shall not
be treated as tax." (Yes, it really says that!) ( a 'fee' instead)
Page 239 Line 14-24 HC Bill: Govt will reduce physician services for
Medicaid Seniors. (Low-income and the poor are affected.)

Page 241 Line 6-8 HC Bill: Doctors: It doesn't matter what specialty
you have trained yourself in -- you will all be paid the same! (Just
TRY to tell me that's not Socialism!)

mandating that hospitals cannot expand.)

BUT community input is required. (Can you say ACORN?)

Page 335 L 16-25 Pg 336-339: The Govt mandates establishment of=2
outcome-based measures. (HC the way they want -- rationing.)
Page 341 Lines 3-9: The Govt has authority to disqualify Medicare
Advance Plans, HMOs, etc. (Forcing people into the Govt plan)

Page 354 Sec 1177: The Govt will RESTRICT enrollment of 'special needs
people!' Unbelievable!

Page 379 Sec 1191: The Govt creates more bureaucracy via a
"Tele-Health Advisory Committee." (Can you say HC by phone?)

Page 425 Lines 4-12: The Govt mandates "Advance-Care Planning
Consult." (Think senior citizens end-of-life patients.)

Page 425 Lines 17-19: The Govt will instruct and consult regarding
living wills, durable powers of attorney, etc. (And it's mandatory!)
Page 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3: The Govt provides an "approved"
list of end-of-life resources; guiding you in death. (Also called
'assisted suicide.')(Sounds like Soylent Green to me.)

Page 427 Lines 15-24: The Govt mandates a program for orders on
"end-of-life." (The Govt has a say in how your life ends!)

Page 429 Lines 1-9: An "advanced-care planning consultant" will be used

ORDER for end-of-life plans.. (AN ORDER TO DIE FROM THE

Page 469: Community-Based Home Medical Services = Non-Profit
Organizations. (Hello? ACORN Medical Services here!?!)

Page 489 Sec 1308: The Govt will cover marriage and family therapy.
(Which means Govt will insert itself into your marriage even.)

Page 494-498: Govt will cover Mental Health Services including
defining, creating, and rationing those services.


Senator, I guarantee that I personally will do everything possible to
inform patients and my fellow physicians about the dangers of the
proposed bills you and your colleagues are debating.

Furthermore, if you vote for a bill that enforces socialized medicine
on the country and destroys the doctor-patient relationship, I will do
everything in my power to make sure you lose your job in the next
election.

Respectfully,

Stephen E. Fraser, MD

Dear Reader,

I urge you to use the power that you were born with (and the power
that may soon be taken away) and circulate this email to as many people
as you can reach. The Power of the People can stop this from
happening to us, our parents, our grandparents, our children, and to
following generations

That pretty well sums it up. Call your congressmen and senators, tell them to stop this madness. 1-202-224-3121.

"Focus Like a Laser Beam"

I’m glad that Obama and the democrats are “focusing like a laser beam” on jobs for this year. Imagine how much worse it could be if they were not. Thirty states reported more job losses in January, and February does not look much better. As Harry Reid said “…only 36,000 more people lost their jobs…” That’s encouraging. I can’t wait for the green jobs to kick in, but wait, they did in California and there were huge job losses in the field of green jobs in California. Darn those facts, they keep pointing out the terrible job Obama is doing. I’m sure Al Gore will find a way to blame it on global warming, so it won’t be Obama’s fault. In the mean time the brown shirts from SEIU are out threatening people to support Obamacare. No one can accuse Obama of not being ambitious.

John McCain Is At It , Again

McCain has teamed up with another liberal, Liebermann, in sponsoring a bill in the US Senate that is a direct attack on the Constitution and Bill of Rights. It is called “Enemy Belligerent, Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010,” and effectively treats American citizens worse than foreign combatants. I urge you to check out this piece of legislation and contact your senators and tell them to oppose this totalitarian bill. The bill “sets out a comprehensive policy for the detention, interrogation and trial of suspected enemy belligerents who are believed to have engaged in hostilities against the United States by requiring these individuals to be held in military custody, interrogated for their intelligence value and not provided with a Miranda warning,” writes the Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder. This comes on the heels of the Dept of Homeland Security declaring that returning war veterans, constitutionalists, people opposed to government run health care, and anyone who disagrees with the current administration, are terrorists and more dangerous than islamic terrorists. Now doesn't that make you feel all warm inside?
