Obamacare Already Taking Away From Womens' Health

Even though Obamacare hasn't been passed yet, I can't help but think that the administration and other liberal democrats had something to do with the recent information about women's' health screening. Why would it now be okay to say women that have been told forever and a day to have yearly pap-smears from their teens and early twenties to now say they can wait for every-other year? And why is it now okay for older women to wait another decade before they start having regular mammograms? Seems to me that we are already seeing the ground work being laid for denial of treatments.

Thank goodness that my wife was able to have a mammogram this past week and find out that she is okay. Thanks again that she was able to have her elective surgery to alleviate other discomforts that she would most assuredly been denied if socialized medicine was in full swing.

A part of me should be thankful that the democrats in congress seem hellbent on ramming through their socialist agenda including their holy grail of socialized health. I say I should be thankful because I think that once the nation realizes that the democrats have made the biggest power grab in our nation's history and placed 48% of the economy under government control (between the stimulus packages and universal health scare)--yes, I realize that the republicans were responsible for the first few stimulus deals--once the country realizes that they are being made subjects and not citizens then they will want to vote out the party in power. The reason I can't be too happy is that once the government gets its hands on something it is damn near impossible to get it to let go. I think that is what the democrats have in mind.

I think they realize that they run a good chance of being voted against in 2010 and 2012, but they are willing to take the risk. They believe and rightly so that once they turn our health system into a socialist system then everything thing else will follow suit. The country will then be center-left at best. Once the government runs health care then it can justify running everything else since it can then tie everything back to health--either physical or mental. I remember being in Australia, where they have socialized health care. It was illegal to ride down the road with your arm out of the window. Why? Simple--who would pay if you wrecked and lost an arm? The government. So Australians lost the right to cool themselves down on a hot summer day while riding in the car by letting their arm dangle out the window in the breeze. Silly yes, but true.

One by one your freedoms will be lost due to the expediency of health care. The freedom loving democrats will tell you what to eat--they already want to put a 'sin tax' on regular sodas. They will tell you how to drive down the road--seat belts clicked and arms inside the windows at all times. I wonder if they will ask homosexuals to stop committing sodomy since it has been linked with the large medical price tag of HIV/AIDS? Probably not right away, but give it time you folks from the North America Man Boy Love Association. I wonder if they will start declining abortions if they become too pricey? Probably not right away, but give it time you Pro-choicers. On second thought, they will probably run specials on abortions since it's cheaper to kill the child than provide a lifetime of "free" medical care.

Yes, it looks like the party of individual choice--at least for social issues--is about to give us socialized medicine and then take away all those freedoms they argue so much for. And why will they take them away? Because their government health system will have to keep costs down and be financially responsible--it will have to abide by conservative economic principles. I realize of course that the system will not be responsible but once China and our other creditors finally stop lending us money the system will have to cut back drastically on services. If it only cut back on the liberal loons that thought up this idiotic health care scheme it would be one thing; however, those of us who hate the idea of government controlled health care will have to suffer as well. Thanks a lot all of you who voted for Obama and any other democrat or republican who favors taking away my freedoms. The constitution guaranteed them for over two hundred years and you were successful at destroying them in less than a year.
