First, cause no harm.

The Obama administration and the liberal controlled Congress are obstinately trying to impose their demonstrably inept socialist ideology on America. We’re resisting. This is good. If we hold out until November, we can sweep out the rats and permit US citizens to once again achieve a foothold in their own government. It won’t solve the problem entirely (that won’t happen until we toss the Joker out on his ear in 2012), but it will stanch the bleeding.

It’s important to always keep our eyes on the ball these next several months. As we saw with the economy, the neo-socialists do not want to make things better. First and foremost, they want to make things socialist. There’s lots of daylight between those 2 concepts, despite Obama’s full-court press to dim that light and hide the truth. We cannot assume that because he is our President and the liberals in Congress are our elected government, that they necessarily want to do good things. That is an antiquated notion and we must disabuse ourselves of it.

Quickly.

The socialists are not here to help. They’re here to remake America. They understand that this remaking will actually cause harm to America. They do not care. That is their point. By slashing our liberty, they will expand the power of the federal government exponentially so that it envelops all aspects of our lives and deprives us of every last scintilla of freedom. That is their goal. To beat America with a stick until we crumple at the feet of big government….bleeding and begging to be taken care of by the only thing left standing. Then they’ll crouch over us and drink our blood.

Too graphic an image for you? The socialists are conspiring to turn our health care industry into one based on UK and Canadian models. And what models might those be?  Consider these cold facts from Deroy Murdock today over at National Review Online:

Look what you’re missing in the U.K.:

Breast cancer kills 25 percent of its American victims. In Great Britain, the Vatican of single-payer medicine, breast cancer extinguishes 46 percent of its targets.

Prostate cancer is fatal to 19 percent of its American patients. The National Center for Policy Analysis reports that it kills 57 percent of Britons it strikes.

Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development data show that the U.K.’s 2005 heart-attack fatality rate was 19.5 percent higher than America’s. This may correspond to angioplasties, which were only 21.3 percent as common there as here.

The U.K.’s National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) just announced plans to cut its 60,000 annual steroid injections for severe back-pain sufferers to just 3,000. This should save the government 33 million pounds (about $55 million). “The consequences of the NICE decision will be devastating for thousands of patients,” Dr. Jonathan Richardson of Bradford Hospitals Trust told London’s Daily Telegraph. “It will mean more people on opiates, which are addictive, and kill 2,000 a year. It will mean more people having spinal surgery, which is incredibly risky, and has a 50 per cent failure rate.”

“Seriously ill patients are being kept in ambulances outside hospitals for hours so NHS trusts do not miss Government targets,” Daniel Martin wrote last year in London’s Daily Mail. “Thousands of people a year are having to wait outside accident and emergency departments because trusts will not let them in until they can treat them within four hours, in line with a Labour [party] pledge. The hold-ups mean ambulances are not available to answer fresh 911 calls. Doctors warned last night that the practice of ‘patient-stacking’ was putting patients’ health at risk.”

Things don’t look much better up north, under Canadian socialized medicine.

Canada has one-third fewer doctors per capita than the OECD average. “The doctor shortage is a direct result of government rationing, since provinces intervened to restrict class sizes in major Canadian medical schools in the 1990s,” Dr. David Gratzer, a Canadian physician and Manhattan Institute scholar, told the U.S. House Ways & Means Committee on June 24. Some towns address the doctor dearth with lotteries in which citizens compete for rare medical appointments.

“In 2008, the average Canadian waited 17.3 weeks from the time his general practitioner referred him to a specialist until he actually received treatment,” Pacific Research Institute president Sally Pipes, a Canadian native, wrote in the July 2 Investor’s Business Daily. “That’s 86 percent longer than the wait in 1993, when the [Fraser] Institute first started quantifying the problem.”

Such sloth includes a median 9.7-week wait for an MRI exam, 31.7 weeks to see a neurosurgeon, and 36.7 weeks — nearly nine months — to visit an orthopedic surgeon.

Thus, Canadian supreme court justice Marie Deschamps wrote in her 2005 majority opinion in Chaoulli v. Quebec, “This case shows that delays in the public health care system are widespread, and that, in some cases, patients die as a result of waiting lists for public health care.”

The socialist DOES NOT CARE about these awful results. He DESIRES to bring them about.
