Is this the type of Health care we want?

As President Obama puts on his one sided show on ABC last night with no other viewpoints at all allowed during this program. I want to express my personal experience with this universal health care as I had a nephew who moved to Canada back in the 1970′s. He ended up getting hepatitis C the nasty one. He was put on a waiting list for some time just to get treatment for the disease. After a year they decided to put in a stint in his liver as hepatitis attacks this organ.So he was put on a waiting list of 6 months or so to have the stint put in. The doctor wanted to check to see if it might have any clogging or blockage after a year. So he was put on another waiting list for this procedure to be done he waited for over 6 months again before the stint could be checked for any blockage it turned out fine.
But can you imagine waiting in fear that every day that passes it could becoming blocked and any moment you could die, it’s living on the edge every day it would drive a person insane. Since none of this was an emergency your put on a waiting list. They might discover that you have cancerous tumor but 6 months to a year or more might go by before you can get in to have the surgery to remove the tumor. By that time it might be to late to do any good. Is this the type of health care any of you want ??? There would be millions of people we know and love that would have had a speedy surgery here under our current health care system. They now would be put on waiting lists and if the appointed board decides that your age is to far along and the cost of saving your life isn’t cost effective then your doomed to die or go to another country and pay out of your own pocket to have the surgeries.As we have seen many Canadian folks coming to America to have surgeries they can’t get or would have to wait to long to have.
This is the type of health care we have coming and it’s gonna cost trillions. And millions of people will be doomed to die to cut costs. And who suddenly determined Obama knows all and has all the answers and this is the way to go??? I didn’t know a community organizer had all the answers.Universal health care has failed in every country that has tried it and yet we continue to keep pushing for it.This is doomed to fail.If this gets put through and we start seeing people dieing while waiting for care you can thank the one person who made it all possible Barack Obama. God bless every soul this will effect for years to come because sooner or later it will effect everyone.We will know of someone who will be told to wait and died while waiting or was told sorry it’s gonna cost to much to save you and your to old.And will the universal health care force people who already have good insurance to drop it and take it? With my personal experience with my watching my nephew worry for better part of 3 years this is something I sure would not want to push on anyone. He lived in fear everyday for that time, that each day could been his last while he waited to be treated.I don’t want to be living in fear like that.And if a lot of you out there knew of or had a loved one live like this you sure wouldn’t want this health care plan.
People in the US die for lack of health care now. And we spend more than any other country.
Under Obama’s plan we will be spending even more and only 25% of the uninsured will be covered. How is this helping anything?
I heard from the CBO Congressional Budget Office that this will cost over 1 trillion dollars we cant possibly keep spending trillions we don’t have. Another estimate of Kennedys health care is upwards of 4 trillion and there would be still millions of people not covered and up to 23 million would lose the health care they have and be forced to take this or buy their own as their employer would switch to universal health care. I’m sure there are many people out there with Aids or HIV that would be told its to expensive to keep giving them the drugs they need to stay alive each month. Do we want the government playing God and deciding who gets to have medication and doesnt and gets to die ? Now way i understand it assisted suicide is illegal in most states so if the government health care would deny you the medication you need to live wouldn’t you be doomed to death so would the government be assisting your in death?
