"It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth -- and listen to the song of that syren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it."



--Patrick Henry, speech in the Virginia Convention, 1775 http://amplify.com/u/bv9xa

"I am not among those who fear the people. They, and not the rich, are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." --Thomas Jefferson http://amplify.com/u/bv1gt

Read what a Judge in Texas has found in the HC Bill.

Read what a Judge in Texas has  found in the HC Bill.
Judge Kithil of  Marble Falls , TX - HB3200 highlighted pages most egregious
Please read this...... especially the reference to pages 58 & 59
 
JUDGE KITHIL wrote:** Page 50/section 152:  The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.
** Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual's bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.
** Page 65/section 164:  The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN).
** Page 203/line 14-15:  The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax.  (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?)
** Page 241 and 253:  Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors' fees.
** Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospitals will ration care according to the patient's age.
** Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception.
** Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations.  Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years. (Death counseling..)
** Page 429,  line 13-25:  The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.
HAD ENOUGH????  Judge Kithil then goes on:

"Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members of Congress.  Members of Congress are already exempt from the Social Security system, and have a well-funded private plan that covers their retirement needs. If they were on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick 'fix' to make the plan financially sound for their future."
                   Honorable David Kithil

THIS GUY AND JIM DEMINT FROM SC ARE PROBABLY ONLY A HANDFUL OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ACTUALLY READ THIS ENTIRE BILL.
