		<description><![CDATA[With the Democrats feeling the heat of America’s anger on Health Care Reform and fiscal self-indulgence with taxpayer’s money, Pres. Barack Obama is now touting morality as the reason for reform.

Problem is, logic is not Obama’s friend. Is abortion moral? Most Americans don’t think so; at least, most Americans do not think federal funds should be used to pay for abortions. But Obama has plainly said in the past that abortion will be part of Health Care Reform. And in April 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was asked to define reproductive care. She said, “And reproductive health includes access to abortion.”]]></description>

</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Helvetica">Further, taking up the morality issue for health care reform seems to indicate that Obama and the Dems can’t defend their assertion that health care reform will be deficit neutral. Not when the Congressional Budget Office recently <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/16/AR2009071602242.html">contradicted</a> that assertion.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Helvetica">Certainly <a href="http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x1295.xml?ReleaseID=1357">polls show</a> that Americans do not believe that the Health Care Reform bills will save money. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span> With his approval rating dropping fast, Obama feels the pressure to get HCR passed, something he promised to do in his campaign. Many supporters warmed to Sen. Obama’s assertion that he was in favor of a single-payer system, public health plan. But many Americans are starting to see that the so-called reform in health care will be to their detriment, and are demanding their Congressmen vote no on the Health Care Reform bill.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Helvetica">In the past week, I’ve heard tired talking points from liberal acquaintances, advocating health care reform. I’ve been called unChristian simply because I am against the Health Care Reform bills in Congress.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Helvetica">Nothing could be further from the truth. I am a Christian, and I do care about people. That’s why I’m vocally opposed to this Health Care Reform. I don’t want to see people denied health care due to inadequate funding from the government. I don’t want to hear about a woman calling the hospital begging for an ambulance, and being told to walk the ‘short’ distance there to birth her fourth child. I don’t want to hear about that same woman deciding to walk as far as she could on the sidewalk leading to the hospital in hopes that a passerby could help bring her baby into the world. That scenario actually happened this week in the <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1207151/Woman-gives-birth-pavement-refused-ambulance.html">UK</a>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Helvetica">Friends, do you want to hear your parent’s doctor tell you her hands are tied, that the government will not pay for the treatment needed to extend life 5-10 years because it will cost too much? Do you want to hear a doctor offer <a href="http://www.big-government-in-your-wallet.com/obama-wants-seniors-poppin-pain-pills/">pain pills</a> to your parents, who could live a fuller life if they received surgery?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Helvetica">You and fellow Americans know the U.S. government is spending too much. You know that it is not logical to expect the same high standard of medical care from the same number of doctors and nurses, expected to treat and care for a huge increase in patients under either health care co-ops or a government-run public health care plan. This expected Utopia the Dems tout falls apart when Americans question how it will work well, especially when the government promises it will cut fees to the medical providers—in the name of saving money.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Helvetica">Instead of Utopia, Americans rightly imagine long lines and wait time to see their doctors and rationed health care. No one denies that improvements need to be made to our current health care system. But this Health Care Reform in Congress will make the problems worse, and beggar our country. Some Democrats falsely state that there are no Republican alternatives to Health Care Reform. This kind of statement is easily refuted; look to Rep. Paul Ryan’s <a href="http://www.house.gov/ryan/PCA/">alternative health reform</a>. But no. There is no true debate, and no true transparency among most Democrats in Congress.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Helvetica">Instead of being transparent, most of the Democrats pushing Health Care Reform are sidestepping questions on what the bill will cover and do.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Helvetica">Let’s look at abortion in health care. The majority of Americans do not want abortion to be subsidized by the federal government. But that is just what the Kennedy bill (as yet unnumbered) being considered in the U.S. Senate, will do. It “</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;mso-bidi-font-family:">would result in federally mandated coverage of abortion by nearly all health plans, federally mandated recruitment of abortionists by local health networks, and nullification of many state abortion laws. It would also result in federal funding of abortion on a massive scale,&#8221; said NRLC Legislative Director Doug Johnson.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Helvetica">Those that claim abortion will not be part of the HCR bill are either naive or deliberately misguiding Americans.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Helvetica">The longer the Health Care bill lingers in Congress, the more time Americans have to read it. And this is a bill, 1000+ pages, that is not like lasagna. It doesn’t get better the longer it sits in its juices. No, this bill’s foulness is stinking it up across our great land. Americans against HCR are making their voices heard. But the fear is the Democratic majority will do whatever it takes to pass HCR, even if it is against the rules. After all, who will stop any potential Congressional rule-breakers?</span></p>
