The Big Liberal Fabrication and other plans.

(originally mailed August 18, 2009)

Let's all think back to "the run-up" to the last Presidential Campaign.
It was during that period when most of us first heard, "we have to protect the 47 million Americans currently without healthcare!"
Remember the televised debate where they were all the libs standing around in a semi-circle behind podiums? You had Biden, Edwards. Clinton, Richardson, Obama and the rest of the Libs all falling over one another trying to invoke the "47 million uninsured Americans" creation the most number of times!

There was just one small problem with the number then - and one small problem with the number now.... it's a fabrication!
Let me make sure everyone, (especially all the Lib voters out there) heard what I said ... the claim used by Liberal politicians that there are 47,000,000 uninsured Americans... is a LIE!!!

What makes this lie so much worse is that the Libs knew that it was a fabrication then - and they kept right on using it! Throughout the campaign - on through the election night "promises" speech - the Inaugural "promises" speech - and straight up through this past weekend ... when "President Promises" held his contrived town-hall meetings - out again trots the "47,000,000 uninsured Americans "number! And every time "President Promises" entones that number in a room full of Liberals - the place goes crazy and liberal women are seen crying, rending garments and calling out Obama's name! It really is great theatre - but unfortunately that's all it is....theatre.

So let's once and for all have a simple summary of what the 47,000,000 uninsured Americans actually represents. (BTW - all these numbers come from the U.S. Census Bureau).

• Let's start with 47,000,000 uninsured persons.
• Well, first you have to subtract the number of "illegal aliens" currently in the United States. This number is somewhere between 9,000,000 and 20,000,000.... Leaving somewhere between 38,000,000 and 27,000,000 uninsured Americans. (Just taking a "cue" here from my President when he kept yelling "words count!" You can't say there are 47 million uninsured Americans, when 11 to 20 million of them aren't Americans - now can you Mr. President! And if you planned to include them all along why didn't you tell us during the campaign? Why did you need to hide it until now?)
• Then there are the young adults - those 18 to 35 year olds who elect NOT to purchase health insurance because they use the money for other things - they consider themselves "bullet proof" They number an additional 18,000,000. Suddenly the number of uninsured Americans has tumbled all they way down to between 9,000,000 and 20,000,000 uninsured Americans!
• I haven't even figured in the 14 million Americans already eligible to receive governmental benefits who elect not to do so, or the 9 million more that come from households making in excess of $75,000 annually, who are therefore easily able to buy private insurance.

Whoa! - something strange has just happened you might say! We've just "erased" the 47,000,000 million uninsured number! Well, that's neat but it's not my point. My point is that the number the libs made up during the campaign to act as a rallying point for their Socialized Medicine drive, is easily dispelled for the lie that it is. So don't let the liberal schmucks get away with lying - call them on it whenever you get the chance - now you have the facts!

But let's say for the sake of humanity and argument that there are 20,000,000 Americans who are without healthcare insurance. When we have reached a point in our development as a nation, that the federal government can mandate the issuance of $787 BILLION in a Stimulus Plan - you'd think that someone in Obamanation (or healthcare) could figure out a plan for and the cost of covering a measly 20 million fellow-countrymen!
WITHOUT - WITHOUT - WITHOUT
Scrapping the entire U.S. Healthcare Industry for the rest of us 290,000,000 Americans!!!!!!
(BTW - 20 million uninsured Americans equals 6.5% of the entire American population of 310,000,000)

And while we have touched on the subject of there being 310 million Americans ..... here's another point to ponder. Whenever Libs talk about other countries with successful socialized medicine programs, they love to throw up the United Kingdom and Canada as examples. For me this seems to be a fairly laughable comparison if only from the standpoint that the two countries have between 1/10th and 1/5th the population of the United States. And even with only 61+ million citizens in England, and 33+ million citizens in Canada, the "horror stories" concerning "wait times" for treatment, and benefit denials to patients with certain types of cancer patients would seem to be a examples Liberals would want to cover up rather than bring out!

One more HOT item. As near as I can figure it - we will never get meaningful reform of anything until one thing happens - and here it is.

EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS (535) AND THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILIES .... EVERY MEMBER OF THE PRESIDENT'S FAMILY, THE PRESIDENT'S CABINET, ALL PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTEE'S, ALL EMPLOYEES OF THE WHITE HOUSE AND THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILIES .... EVERY ELECTED STATE & LOCAL OFFICIAL AND THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILIES ....

• WILL BE LIMITED TO TWO TERMS OF SERVICE TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS. PERIOD - NO EXCEPTIONS
• DURING THEIR SERVICE, ALL OFFICIALS WILL BE COVERED SOLELY AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION BY WHATEVER HEALTHCARE PROVISIONS ARE GRANTED TO ACTIVE DUTY U.S. MILITARY PERSONNEL & THEIR FAMILIES .
• SENATORS, CONGRESSPERSONS, & APPOINTEES SHALL RECEIVE PENSIONS EQUAL TO THE PERCENTAGE OF a) THE YEARS SPENT IN ELECTED OR APPOINTED SERVICE divided by b) THEIR AGE AT END OF ELECTED TERM, over c) AVERAGE SALARY DURING THEIR YEARS OF ELECTED SERVICE.

Pass this around maybe we can get it voted on!!!
