Obamacare is Coming for You!
Obamacare, if it becomes the law of the land, means that the federal government will take over approximately 16% of the American economy.
Obamacare will punish patients, physicians, innovation in medical companies, as a maze-like federal bureaucracy calcifies American medical care.
Because that's what federal programs do: stifle competition, destroy innovation, debase human compassion, and enslave the citizenry to a nanny state.
For an example of how the federal government bungles even the most simple health care initiative, take a look at this.
This odious legislation—a massive power grab by the Democrat majority—can be defeated.
This important information via Bookworm Room:
Citizens in Action is providing Americans who are opposed to the proposed health care legislation with an easy and effective way to fax the 31 Senators who could vote one way or the other on health care reform. Because the first important Senate vote is Tuesday, the time to act is NOW!
In just a few minutes, you can fax your opposition to this irresponsible health care reform to 20 Democrats, 1 Independent and 10 Republicans. It is critical that you let these 31 Senators know how the American people feel and inundate their fax machines with non-stop faxes.
HERE’S HOW:
1. Go to http://ciafax.ning.com/
2. A fax has already been prepared although you can elect to write your own.
3. Fill out all of the information under Step 1.
4. Select the Responsible Healthcare Fax.
5. After you send the fax, locate the DONATE button in the lower left hand quadrant of the page. Please either pay with PayPal or send a check to the address listed.
IMPORTANT:
While there is no fee for this service, which is being provided free of charge by Citizens in Action, they are doing so at a great cost. Therefore, Bay Area Patriots [the organization that sent out this notice] is requesting that you donate a minimum of $3 to defray their costs and, if you can, please donate more. Any extra donations will fill the gaps for those who are not in a position to make the suggested minimum donation.
Please forward this email and link to any groups or individuals you know who want to take this kind of action to stop the passage of this irresponsible healthcare reform.
It’s important that this blast fax campaign reaches every citizen who is opposed to this irresponsible legislation, especially in the states of MT, IN, AK, CO, PA, ND, NC, SD, AR, FL, PA, VA, MO, UT, IA, NH, ME and OH. Our best chance to stop this government healthcare takeover is to let our legislators know, whether they are home or in Washington, we are watching closely.
Thank you for participating in this important blast fax campaign.
After you send your faxes reward yourself with The Best of the Jewish Blogosphere #238, The We Love The Dodgers Edition.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
AGAIN RE MISHLEI 18:21 DEATH BEFORE LIFE question

THANK YOU.

I am old enough to remember the swine flu scare in the '70s and what a mess that was. So I don't blame anyone familiar with the previous swine flu scare not getting the shot now.
But the biggest obstacle to vaccines is the phony autism scare people like Jenny McCarthy and trial lawyers are pushing. Parents that think it is safe to skip the dpt or other vaccines for their kids are stupid. If the media would do their job and tell the truth about the autism scare it would help parents not make dumb decisions about their kids.
But since the media can't tell the truth about Obamacare (the Baucus bill will decrease the deficit - ha ha ha) I don't expect them to actually look at the autism scare.

If Obamacare is passed and health care in the States goes in the toilet I offer all jews living in the states to make arrangments to join one of the Israeli HMO's(a mere $50/MONTH). He will then be entitled to full medical care in a country with the highest standards of care.
Just one catch....you have to make aliyah!

"But the biggest obstacle to vaccines is the phony autism scare people like Jenny McCarthy and trial lawyers are pushing."
I think the biggest obstacle is unsafe vaccines causing autism in susceptible children. This is abetted by gullible people who accept without question the industry funded (manufactured?) "scientific consensus".
