Obama's Health Care Plan a Travesty

President Obama has offered the the American people a lemon when it comes to the health care plan. His plan is pushing us towards nationalized medicine and is helping to balloon the deficit. I'm not even going to mention fetal reprocessing, which is so bad that even liberals can't defend it.

But let's take a look at other terrible options offered in the so-called health care reform package. Think of the idea for the public option. Not only will it create billions in new entitlements, but it will also help destroy current insurance. But the good news is that it's so poor that it looks like it might be dropped from the whole debate.

And sure that Obama says that illegals will not get free insurance though his plan. But take a look at what he really said. If an illegal comes into a hospital and needs treatment without money or insurance, they will have the bill picked up by Uncle Sam.

And even CBS News is now admitting that the health care plan will explode our deficit and cost us billions and billions of dollars. Obama's plan is a terrible fiscal idea.

But let's see the results ten years down the road. Many might lose quality care and we might owe $10 trillion on the health care plan. Inflation could be massive and unemployment may rise. What could we be thinking?

Obama Health Plan Includes Controversial "Fetal Reprocessing"

Doctors Laud Proviso in Health Care Bill

Washington is abuzz with the newest attempt at bringing affordable, quality health care to America's working families. President Obama, supported by the American Medical Association, has spearheaded an effort to give more American families coverage while making sure that existing coverage is not reduced.

Included in this legislation are many portions which have been cheered by the AARP, the AMA, and many in Congress. These include a public insurance option, electronic records, and private insurance reform. However, many doctors and hospitals have fully backed a clause regarding so-called "fetal reprocessing".

The health care bill presented to the House of Representatives offers $3 billion in direct tax benefits, as well as $1.2 billion in other incentives for this service. It is widely accepted as one of the greatest boons for modern medicine, both financially and scientifically.

Phillip Kimball, MD, who is an orthopedic surgeon at the Princeton Medical Center, helped advise Congressional leaders on the legislation.

"Basically, fetal reprocessing allows fetuses which either were terminated in miscarriages or abortions to be utilized for cutting-edge research. These include the use of stem cells, fetal organs, and especially brain matter."

While there was a large controversy regarding stem cells, Dr. Kimball states that these are not the focus. Instead, the most medically valuable portion of the prenatal infant is brain matter.

"The infant brain is incredibly tactile." Dr. Kimball stated to a group of New Jersey doctors, "By using many of the neurons in our testing, we can understand synapse connectivity and nervous expansion in a way which the adult brain cannot allow us." Dr. Kimball also stated that fetal brain matter could be integral to curing disorders such as cerebral palsy and mental retardation within a decade.

Fetal reprocessing has largely been illegal, due to the fact that most samples would have to be derived from aborted fetuses. As of today, this is illegal under most circumstances. However, the health care reform legislation will promote the idea of abortions as an option for birth control. In turn, this would give hospitals additional fetuses which could be a financial boon for the medical industry.

Many in the pro-life lobby are skeptical of this new health care proviso. However, Dr. Kimball is not one of them. "I think that it's ridiculous to hold up scientific progress for some small extremist group's opinion."

With passage in the House looking increasingly likely after meetings with conservative Democrats, President Obama's agenda appears stronger.
