1) Mayo Clinic Calls House Plan, Bad

Medicine: Washington Times
Excerpt: A
world-renowned clinic that President Obama held up as an example of
good medicine said Monday that the American people would be "losers"
under the House's health care proposal, joining the growing chorus
of critics the Obama administration is trying to fend off as the
debate intensifies from Capitol Hill to Main Street.
-
Minnesota's
not-for-profit Mayo Clinic, which Mr. Obama has repeatedly hailed as
offering top quality care at affordable costs, blasted the House
Democrats' version of the health care plan as lawmakers continue to
grapple with several bills from each chamber and multiple
committees.
The
Mayo Clinic said there are some positive elements of the bill, but
overall "the proposed legislation misses the opportunity to help
create higher quality, more affordable health care for patients."
-
"In
fact, it will do the opposite," clinic officials said, because the
proposals aren't [R]patient-focused or results-oriented. "The real
losers will be the citizens of the United States."

All
day, Republicans took aim at Mr. Obama's weak spot as surveys showed
that his poll numbers were slipping on the issue. Republican
National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele charged that the
president's plan amounts to a "reckless experiment," dubbing it
"socialism."

Obama! Get out of my health-care! And while you’re at it, GET OUT OF
THE WHITE HOUSE! You do not qualify to be the president, as per
the U.S. Constitution and you know it!
Hey, do you all want
to know some of what is in that "health care" bill? An ex-lieutenant
governor of my state, New York, has read the entire bill and has
some very interesting findings. No matter what, our government is
not to take over any industry, such is wrong to begin with, but find

is trying to rush it along: http://www.defendyourhealthcare.us/?
