I have been reading and studying, trying to get a handle on the Obama-care issue. I know it is bad for the country, I know it is bad for the elderly, the disabled, the unborn. I know it is bad for the average American taxpayer and certainly for all future generations of Americans. But what I am surprised about are some of the groups calling for approval even though it could lead to the end of our control over end of life issues and an increase in abortions, all on the taxpayer's dime...


The first quote is from the Republican National Committee"s Michael Steele...the second from the American Papist website . I am absolutely confused, angry, and saddened all at the same time at the organizations who are supporting this. Be aware, just because the word "catholic" is in a title, does not mean that the faith and doctrine are followed by the organization.



"Under the Democrats’ scheme, insurance plans would have to provide people an “essential benefits package.” This package would be created by the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services based on recommendations from a new federal advisory committee. As the bill is written, there is nothing that could keep federal bureaucrats from mandating that coverage of abortions be included in the “essential benefits package.”
This abortion mandate would not just apply to the Democrats’ government-run “option.” Any private plans that receive taxpayer subsidies to provide coverage to people with low to moderate incomes -- and under the Democrats’ plan that would be nearly all of them -- would have to provide coverage for abortions, and pay for them with taxpayer dollars, too."

"More importantly, Steven Ertelt tells us (ph/t, ALL) that three large Catholic organizations are mobilizing on behalf of Obama-care: Catholic Charities USA, The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, and the Catholic Health Association (whose ad I mention above). More:
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul and Catholic Charities USA sent out an action alert asking members to contact their legislators immediately."



"Please call and e-mail your Representative in the next 24 hours expressing your support for Congress to enact health care reform now," the groups said in a joint action alert last week.

"Saint Vincent de Paul is partnering with Catholic Charities USA and the Catholic Health Association to amplify our collective voice to let Congress know that health care reform can not wait," that group says on its web site.

My advice is to read about it, talk about it with everyone you know. I am afraid that most people who say they are for Obama-care, have no idea what is really all about. I firmly believe that the more information that gets out, the more knowledge people have, the more they will see the danger of it all.
Write your representatives and ask them to vote no on this legislature. We , as a nation cannot afford to put our health, our lives into the hands of an administration has so little respect for life.
