Coming to your mailbox,
the scariest letter of your life...
The letter will arrive in a long white envelope postmarked Washington, D.C.
Inside, you'll be informed that, because of your age and in accordance with new U.S. healthcare policy (Obamacare), it is now time to discuss your "advance care options" with government "healthcare planning consultants."
Your letter will also advise that henceforth every five years -- or sooner if you're diagnosed with a serious illness -- this panel of government-selected doctors and experts will "assist" you in making further medical decisions.
Are you outraged yet? Keep reading, it gets worse...
Who will these doctors and so-called "experts" be? Perhaps some of them will be colleagues of Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and a key formulator of Obamacare.
Dr. Emanuel has some pretty scary ideas about healthcare and how it should be rationed. The good doctor doesn't actually say "healthcare rationing" -- he prefers "healthcare allocation." But it means exactly the same thing.
Nor does Dr, Emanuel admit he's in favor of "death panels." (A term Sarah Palin has been excoriated for using.) Instead he chooses to call it "end of life consultation." If that sounds like a bunch of government bureaucrats making life or death decisions about people other than themselves, it's because that's exactly what it is.
Shocked? My friend, that's just the tip of the iceberg. The lies and deceptions President Obama and his liberal backers are telling us about Obamacare run deep and dangerous, submerged beneath an ocean of government double-speak.
There are many more reasons why this monstrous, evil plan must be stopped.
If Obamacare passes...
- MEDICARE WILL BE SLASHED. To pay for his government healthcare behemoth, Obama admits he'll have to cut $500 billion from Medicare. How can he chop that much without reducing medical services to seniors? He can't. It's fiscally impossible. Medicare services will have to be cut.
- YOU'LL LOSE YOUR CURRENT COVERAGE. Truth is, Obama's plan is designed to eliminate employer coverage. He's acknowledged it, but only to fellow liberals. When the "public option" forces private insurers out of the market, odds are you'll be shoved into a government plan.
- YOU'LL LOSE YOUR CURRENT DOCTOR. Once the government plan is reality and you've been forced to participate, it's a virtual certainty you'll lose your doctor. In fact, the more skilled your physician is, the more likely he or she will shun working for the government. Obamacare won't take your doctor away. Obamacare will drive your doctor away.
- ILLEGALS WILL GET FREE HEALTHCARE. Despite what Obama says, none of the Democratic bills prohibits coverage for illegal aliens and all Republican attempts to exclude such coverage for illegals have been rejected.
- OBAMACARE WILL BANKRUPT AMERICA. Universal healthcare will add at least $1 trillion to the already mind-boggling deficit. Obama claims "eliminating waste and fraud" will save money -- a laughable assertion, since when has the government ever decreased its spending? In the end, Obama will slash Medicare and raise taxes, pleading he had no choice.
- OBAMACARE WILL PAY FOR ABORTIONS. Obama calls this a "lie." But all Democratic plans call for payments for "reproductive services," a well-known euphemism for abortion. Plus, Obama's minions in Congress have rebuffed all amendments prohibiting coverage for abortions. You be the judge. What are the Democrats trying to hide?
Surprised? Now you know why I sent this urgent message asking you to help HUMAN EVENTS stop Obamacare now -- before it's too late.
...to keep your insurance, keep your doctor, help save the best healthcare system in the world and keep from being part of Obama's next "clunker" program?
Here's what. Right now, you can help my colleagues at HUMAN EVENTS who have just completed a special investigative report titled, "Obamacare: What You Don't Know Will Really Make You Sick."
But creating "Obamacare: What You Don't Know Will Really Make You Sick" is just the beginning. HUMAN EVENTS will publicize and distribute it on a massive scale, both in print versions and online, to provoke a massive outpouring of voter outrage.
Included among the activists, opinion-makers, and other influential citizens to whom HUMAN EVENTS will distribute "Obamacare" will be:
- Pro-life, conservative, and/or Republican activist groups on HUMAN EVENTS' own extensive nationwide list, with an invitation to help spread the word by ordering and distributing inexpensive bulk reprints of the report
- Top editors, reporters, and syndicated columnists on every major metropolitan and regional paper in America, plus many local ones. HUMAN EVENTS will give them blanket advance permission to reproduce the report in whole or in part, without paying royalties
- Talk-radio hosts in every radio market in the country, from Rush Limbaugh on down. Again, HUMAN EVENTS will allow them to quote from it as extensively as they wish, at no cost
- TV news editors, anchors, and reporters at all the networks and cable news channels, as well as local affiliates
- All 435 members of the U.S. House and Senate, with additional copies for their staff members and committee aides
- More than 150,000 dedicated HUMAN EVENTS readers
And you, of course, will receive "Obamacare: What You Don't Know Will Really Make You Sick."
But we need your help to cover the costs of raising the alarm.
We at HUMAN EVENTS have fought many such battles before -- and won. Against "Hillarycare", wasteful spending, and amnesty for illegal immigrants -- and much more.
Do not doubt that the President, Democrats and mainstream media are united in keeping the truth about Obamacare from unsuspecting Americans.
But this report translates the double-speak of all their lies and dirty secrets -- just a few of which I listed above.
My friend, this is one of the most important issues I've ever witnessed in my 40-plus years in Washington.
The so-called "healthcare reform" liberals want isn't really about healthcare. It's about their beloved socialism.
To liberals, socialized medicine is the heart and soul of what it means to be a European-style "social democracy" -- like France, Germany, Sweden, England, Italy, and the rest.
Government-run universal healthcare can make their dream come true by adding more than 10 million healthcare professionals and workers to the already bloated roster of 11 million government employees.
Imagine! In one fell swoop, Democrats could nearly double the number of government workers and bureaucrats in America.
That's right. Doctors, nurses, technicians and every other type of healthcare worker will become just like those "hard-working" folks at the post office, the department of motor vehicles and all the other slow-moving, red-tape-clogged government hell-holes you've come to dread. Do you want to be treated at the doctor's office with the same indifference you've come to expect from the DMV?
I didn't think so. That's why I urge you to join with HUMAN EVENTS in their offensive against this threat. We can't fight without your help.
To express our gratitude for your donation of just $75 or more, HUMAN EVENTS will send you, along with your special report, a gift copy of the blockbuster exposé, Welcome to Obamaland: I Have Seen Your Future and It Doesn't Work.
If ever there were a book liberals wish they could ban, this is it. British author James Delingpole reveals what it's like to live with socialists at the helm of his homeland. With rapier wit, he shows how the Left plans to conquer America not by the superiority of its ideas, but rather by controlling the institutions by which public opinion is formed -- education, art, pop culture and the communications industry.
Best Regards,
Tom Winter
President and Editor in Chief, HUMAN EVENTS
P.S. Don't forget. Give $75 or more and HUMAN EVENTS will send you, with your free special report, the shocking (and savagely witty) book Welcome to Obamaland: I Have Seen Your Future and It Doesn't Work. But please make as generous a contribution as you can today. Thank you.
