Questions for Obamacare Supporters: The Challenge Posed to Liberals by the Baby Joseph Dilemma

Questions for liberals: First, I would like to ask if a relative or friend of yours was dying would you like to spend as much time with that person as possible or would you rather his/her's death be sped up because of a hospital's refusal to help aid that person medically and refusal to give that person the means to live as long as possible?   Second, should a parent be in control of their child's health care or should a medical professional and a hospital be able to decide what is right for your child?

Has everyone heard of Baby Joseph?  If not, he is a 13-month-old-baby who has a fatal progressive neurodegenerative disease and is laying in a hospital bed in Canada waiting to go home. His parents have requested that he be able to live out his final days at home but the hospital has refused to honor their request.  Baby Joseph's parents want to bring him home to die, but to do so he must be removed from his ventilator and given a tracheostomy but there's one major catch the Ontario hospital is refusing to do a tracheostomy.  In addition, the Ontario hospital is refusing to release his medical records.  Baby Joseph's parents, the Maraachli’s, want him to be transferred to an American hospital so the tracheostomy can be done but American hospitals are refusing to accept Baby Joseph because the Canadian hospital is refusing to release his medical records.  It seems now that the hospital is changing its tune and claiming it was always willing to let Baby Joseph go home - but with one catch - without a tracheostomy this would mean that he would suffocate to death.  Baby Joseph would die quickly without the hospital being willing to do a tracheostomy, we're talking at most days versus about six months with having the tracheostomy.  Being forced to suffocate to death kind of sounds like euthanasia to me.  


From the National Catholic Register:

"Family spokesman Dan Sanserone says this simply is untrue. “No one in the family knows anything about an offer to let him come home.”

"Sanserone’s own daughter is cognitively disabled and he has championed the cause of families like the Maraachlis for a decade as they fight medical professionals for control of their loved ones’ care.

Sanserone has studied medical outcomes in the U.S. and Canada and reached a disturbing conclusion. “Someone with my daughter’s disabilities is four to 10 times likelier to survive in the U.S.”

In Canada generally, he says, there is a trend “to strip the human rights of the cognitively disabled. It is spreading like a disease putting at risk anyone who isn’t contributing much to the GDP.”

Remember Rep. Alan "Die Quickly" Grayson? Oh, I thought Republicans wanted the sick to die quickly!   But this is a government run health care system similar to that of Obamacare so this is more evidence that Grayson is off his rocker and lied through his teeth when he made this sickening false claim against Republicans. 


Questions for liberals: Do those who support Obamacare think that this type of dilemma won't happen in the U.S.?  Do you think that worse rationing than we have now can't possibly happen under Obamacare?  Or aren't these types of issues important to you?  


It is outrageous that not even one hospital in the United States has been willing to help out Baby Joseph!  It is extremely sad that not one hospital in America has stepped forward to accept and help this Little One even without his medical records.  Its not like Baby Joseph's case hasn't been publicized and they don't know what he needs. In one of my posts on my other blog I challenged any CHA hospital and Sr. Keehan to please do the right thing and put their money and faith where there mouth is.  Yes, this is the nun that lied about abortion supposedly not being covered in Obamacare.  This is the same nun who gave "legitimacy" to those so called pro-life Democrats so that they would vote for the Affordable Care Act when she refused to listen to and heed the authority of the Bishops on the matter of health care and abortion.  


Here is a video of Baby Joseph which shows proof that he is NOT in a vegetative state as this Canadian hospital claims (or claimed at one time).

Obama The Pimp is Screwing Americans With His Health Care Plan

Obama is the pimp and the Democrats are his whores. They have sold the American people out for money and their pet projects. This is the abomination of America.
The American people have spoken and it is clear as you can see here and here that a majority of Americans are outraged at the Democrats want to flush Obamacare down the toilet. The Democrats have purposefully ignored the American people.
Obama and the Democrats are enslaving citizens into a new health care system which will include: rationing, higher costs, taking away your choice of doctors, and forcing Americans to fund the killing of innocent human life.

You shall not pass this bill for if you cretins do, the wait times to see a doctor will be so long that there will be one long ass line in each city waiting for the sole doctor practicing medicine in each city. The line will be so long that you will have a 50/50 chance of getting to the end of it alive to see the doctor in time to treat you for your illness and save your life. If you are not one of the lucky half, for you, the heavens above will open up and you will see St. Peter sitting at his throne shedding tears for all the people, now on another line -- the stairway to heaven -- because they died way too early because of Obama death care.
Plus, if you pass this health care debacle this health care of horrors will have you take a pill instead of your needed surgery just like President BO said. And then, to top it off Obama's crock of docs will give you the blue pill, the wrong pill, to try and heal what ails you.
You destroyers of America will go against our constitution and force Americans to pay for health care or get fined and/or go to jail. We will say, Hell NO!!! Hell NO WE Won't Pay!!! There will be multitudes of court cases challenging this unconstitutional monstrosity due to it violating our freedom, liberty, and right to privacy.

Here is a brilliant piece of work written by Snarky Basterd over at ADHD.
You Shall Not Pass. . . Obamacare
 
 

Obamacare: A Change For the Worse

During the presidential campaign Obama promised that there would be transparency unlike the previous administrations. President BO promised to have the health care debate aired on C-Span.  Well, that never happened. Obama LIED!!!  This administration has been about as transparent as a 40 foot high brick wall charged to keep the enemy out.  What the Democrats are masquerading as "reform" is the biggest piece of garbage in history. Obamacare will do great harm to our citizens and our country.  The truth is that health care costs will skyrocket under Obamacare instead of the Democrats claims that it lowers health care costs. Obamacare will change the status quo and for the worse. 

Here is an article called, Change Nobody Believes In:

And tidings of comfort and joy from Harry Reid too. The Senate Majority Leader has decided that the last few days before Christmas are the opportune moment for a narrow majority of Democrats to stuff ObamaCare through the Senate to meet an arbitrary White House deadline. Barring some extraordinary reversal, it now seems as if they have the 60 votes they need to jump off this cliff, with one-seventh of the economy in tow.

Mr. Obama promised a new era of transparent good government, yet on Saturday morning Mr. Reid threw out the 2,100-page bill that the world's greatest deliberative body spent just 17 days debating and replaced it with a new "manager's amendment" that was stapled together in covert partisan negotiations. Democrats are barely even bothering to pretend to care what's in it, not that any Senator had the chance to digest it in the 38 hours before the first cloture vote at 1 a.m. this morning. After procedural motions that allow for no amendments, the final vote could come at 9 p.m. on December 24.

Even in World War I there was a Christmas truce.

The rushed, secretive way that a bill this destructive and unpopular is being forced on the country shows that "reform" has devolved into the raw exercise of political power for the single purpose of permanently expanding the American entitlement state. An increasing roll of leaders in health care and business are looking on aghast at a bill that is so large and convoluted that no one can truly understand it, as Finance Chairman Max Baucus admitted on the floor last week. The only goal is to ram it into law while the political window is still open, and clean up the mess later.

• Health costs. From the outset, the White House's core claim was that reform would reduce health costs for individuals and businesses, and they're sticking to that story. "Anyone who says otherwise simply hasn't read the bills," Mr. Obama said over the weekend. This is so utterly disingenuous that we doubt the President really believes it.

The best and most rigorous cost analysis was recently released by the insurer WellPoint, which mined its actuarial data in various regional markets to model the Senate bill. WellPoint found that a healthy 25-year-old in Milwaukee buying coverage on the individual market will see his costs rise by 178%. A small business based in Richmond with eight employees in average health will see a 23% increase. Insurance costs for a 40-year-old family with two kids living in Indianapolis will pay 106% more. And on and on.

My Rant on Health Care & Morality

This health care bill passing cloture last night is an utter disgrace to the American people. These Democratic politicians are giving every American citizen the middle finger by not giving a flying F***K what the majority of American people would want with regards to health care reform. This health care bill, if it passes the senate, will be the destruction of Amercans freedom as we know it today. This bill is tyranny being forced upon American citizens. This bill will raise costs, force health care to be rationed, eliminate competition, and force insurance companies out of business. This bill will utterly destroy our health care system. This bill will destroy our economy. This bill has nothing to do with health care at all. This bill has everything to do with stripping the American people of freedom and liberty. This bill is all about the Democrats gaining power and control over the American people.

All of these communists are following their Dear Leader of tyranny. These communist pigs must be booted from office in 2010. They obviously don't give a rat's ass about the American people. They are a bunch of selfish bastages.

Anyone that supports this bill needs to sent to either Venezuela, or Cuba to fully experience the "benefits" of communism with equal dismal health care to experience being equally financially poor. These people think that profits are evil. If they believe that profits are evil then they should give all of their profits up. Everyone that earns money is in a real sense earning a profit. If anyone wants a raise then they want to reap the benefits of making a profit. If you really do see profits as evil, than forfeit all your rights to profit. The people that think profits are evil will not apply that same principle to themselves. So, these people are a bunch of damn hypocrites.



Because of this liberal and/or communist infiltration into our society, we as a society have fallen away from God given principles and values. We need to return to these Godly principles and values so that our country will be saved from this attack on morality. These communists have infiltrated into our public schools and into our government and have made it crystal cle that they want no mention of God, period. Sure, anyone is allowed to say Allah and are not offended even though violent Jihadist extremists have killed over 3000 innocent Americans. People at the highest levels want to cover up for the Ft. Hood tragedy which was an act of terrorism. They distort Christanity and portray it as an evil when it is those very people that are evil. They just don't want to face reality and the truth. They spread hateful lies about Christianity. These secularists in our society must be stopped. Our Christiann principles must be spread far and wide. Let people hear the word of God all over this country. We must not be intimidated by the people who want to restrict our right to freedom of religion. These secularists want to distort our constitution and portray the words as freedom from religion instead of the actual words in the constitution, freedom of religion. This is false. We must spread the values that our in constitution far and wide. Let them see our Godly actions. This is the time to take a stand for morality and against the secularists in our society today. Let us promote individualism, freedom, liberty, and Godly values all across this land. God Bless America!!
