Unintended Consequences

The unintended consequences of this healthcare bill have not been mentioned yet but I can think of several. If you have ever dealt with different agencies trying to get something done you will have a feel for what is going to take place.

One consequence: the new bill creates about 100 new boards, agencies, panels and whatever they could think of, all of this to make our healthcare “better”. With all these new ‘whatever they could think of panels', agencies, etc., the initial scenario will be: because of your age a particular new panel rules against you for some procedure you think you need so you appeal. The appeal takes time and brings into conflict several other panels who think they have jurisdiction over your decision. After time they all finally decide to bump it up to a higher panel who is overwhelmed with bumped up decisions because no one anticipated this many bump ups while the senator were bumping in the wee night hours at congress.

After a long period of time they decide that they cannot decide so they bump it up to the governing HHS department who puts it in the queue for decision making and when it is your turn they decide. At which time they mail the decision to your new address. Plot 2, Lot 5, Westland Cemetery, Yourtown, USA. Turns out you really did need that procedure.

We see similar improvements in government healthcare in the UK. There is a ten month waiting list for use of the delivery room (no lie). There is no rationing in our bill, just waiting.

I can’t wait for this bill to get started and all those people who wanted more government finally get it. I think some of the socialist leaning folks will actually get it now because for years they just haven’t got it. Common sense is sometimes hard to grasp for some people. Unintended consequences show that elections have consequences and provide some people with common sense.

Things to think about:


The healthcare bill can be realistically be called the ‘Bribery and Extortion Bill of 2009’. Multiple senators have been bought off with billions of dollars of our money adding even more to a bill that will cost 2.5 trillion dollars. “If the healthcare legislation is really so important and if it will truly benefit Americans, then why is it necessary to bribe the people’s representatives? The just and honorable vote never requires a pay-off, at least, not for a legislator who truly represents the best interests of his or her constituents.” (Meredith Turney, Townhall.com)


If the healthcare bill passes in the house and committee then the government will be in control of 70% of the economy. Since Obama took over GM, controls Chrysler, banks and AIG with other insurance companies, with new banking regulations and the EPA (unconstitutionally) declaring carbon dixoide, the air we all exhale, a pollutent and thus now regulate the power companies and industries that burn fuel. The healthcare industry will be the last 17% segment of the economy added to the list.


That is not a free socicety. That is not a free people or a free capitalist system for which our constitution was created. That is why the founders came to America, to get away from such tyranny and bondage. The lazy don’t want to be free, the young don’t fully understand the freedom that is lost and the irrational and godless think more government control is the answer. Freedom is being lost and the majority don’t seem to care. It is not just a little freedom we are losing, it is most of it.

Freedom does not come from government. Rights do not come from government. Government can only protect the rights and freedom God has given us. Anything else is bondage to a group of men who think they are more important than God. When men are in charge of freedoms they can decide what freedoms are allowed and who gets them.


If the government can force you to buy health insurance or else go to jail, they can force you to do anything. If you have a choice of anything it will be because government has given you permission to do so.


Forcing an American to buy health insurance is unconstitutional but if this congress get aways with this then the constitution will no longer have meaning. There will be no foundation for our governement.
