We are only one day away from another campaign presentation by a President who fails at leadership, but continues to excel at being one of the best orators and organizers of our time. While a majority on the left continue in a trance from the 2008 presidential campaign, the only stumbling block to Barack Obama and his radical far-left agenda has been the slow to awaken conservative voice of America. Nothing President Obama says on Wednesday, short of assuring the American citizens that all current bills in Congress will be scrubbed, should be deemed acceptable. Congress shall then assemble new bipartisan legislation totally transparent that reflects the concerns heard by the voice of America and available to the public for no less than 30 days for their review.
Besides all that I read in H.R. 3200, the most troubling aspect of the legislation for me was what I didn’t read which allows for multiple interpretations and a variety of loopholes in an effort to arrive at a conclusion. In an effort to not bore the reader with too much detail, before even arriving to the 75th page of the bill, the average individually insured, or employer-based insurance plan could be jeopardized by inability to meet new standards. This would thrust the insured into a TBD insurance exchange, or the public option. So much for the "if you like your doctor and the insurance you have, you can keep them." The new commissioner that will be making all the new policy, rules, and decisions for the future of your health care can’t be expected to do this all alone for approximately 300 million people (legal and illegal immigrants), he/she will need some help. Want to take a guess at the size of staff that will take? Just imagine all the jobs this will create, even if they are all non-capital generating government jobs. Did I mention that around page 70 we have come up with 10 billion dollars to bail out failed union benefit plans? Those lucky sons-of-guns, must have been one of those "too big to fail" things.
What is stopping our lawmakers from introducing language in these bills to solidify areas of concern that are open-ended or ambiguous? How about a division that clearly states that items of concern like elective abortion is not covered or, services and guidelines currently provided by Medicare/Medicaid coverage may be enhanced, but not diminished in any way.
I could go on and on about the pathetic piece of legislation H.R. 3200 is, but I won’t. There is much more at stake than health care legislation alone. We have not heard the last of Cap & Trade, and today Obama spoke at a Cincinnati AFL-CIO Labor Day picnic to not only push his health care agenda, but to affirm his commitment to EFCA when he said:
"
The Employee Free Choice Act is anything but the implication of the title. To understand how devious this bill is, one would have had to be a part of a union organizing attempt and a witness to the process. A shortened term for this bill is "card check". There is a strong potential for employees to be intimidated by the organizing union and biased peer pressure because if 50%+1 of the employees signed cards the union would be automatically certified by the NLRB as the bargaining unit without a secret ballot election. It has been my experience that unions are sometimes called on for retribution from a disgruntled employee, and can be devastating for all parties concerned. This new bill can be particularly ominous for small business because the cost to organize unions would be greatly reduced making smaller groups easier targets.
If we thought the first eight months of Obama’s term were action packed with change and transformation the remaining four of this year will be far worse. Obama is not happy about the opposition he has received, especially with health care reform. The turmoil with Van Jones and many of Obama’s appointments should be watched very closely because they will represent a great deal of this transformation that will tear at this countries moral, ethical, and financial well being. Obama has already shown us his ability to do what he wishes in spite of what violates normal protocol or our Constitution. Impressive game-plan if you look at it closely. His administration is pushing an almost outrageous agenda so anything between tolerable and outrageous is a huge win for transformation.
