Canadian Wendy Sullivan’s Health Care Nightmare, Part II

By Lisa Farrar Wellman

Behind closed doors Democratic leadership is strong arming Blue Dog Dems. I pray they hold fast to their principles but with someone like Nancy Pelosi (with eyeballs bugging) breathing down one’s neck, I know it’s tempting to give in, sign the confession and beg to be sent back to one’s cell. Oh, wait. I mean, they’ll choose to vote for Obamacare by their own free will because they know it’s the best thing for our country. They’ll return to their districts, heads held high to cheers from the populace.

Girl on the Right, Wendy Sullivan has a message for those Blue Dogs. Her experience as a Canadian is a look into a crystal ball if we don’t rein in the socialists and get back to our founders’ intentions for the country.

SGN: If you could talk to our Blue Dog Dems, what would you say?

WS: I would ask them what they would do if their child needed an urgent MRI or cancer treatment. Would they want the best care available, or would they want only what the lowest denominator in the United States could afford?

Smart Girls, Wendy makes a good point here. Contact your representatives and senators and ask them these questions. And, while you’ve got them (or one of their aides) on the phone, ask them if they’ve signed Let Freedom Ring’s Responsible Healthcare Reform Pledge. As of this writing, only 93 of our Congress members had vowed to read this monstrosity before voting on it. I can’t believe we’re even having this conversation but it’s a true testament to the state of our nation. Members of Congress need to be reminded to read bills before they vote on them.

Speaking of reading the current bill, H.R. 3200, (there are other bills floating around, too but this is the biggie), Wendy Sullivan, a Canadian mind you, wasn’t forced to sign a pledge but still managed to take an interest in our government process. She’s read the bill that will alter where 1/6 of our economy is spent.

SGN: What is the scariest thing you’ve read in H.R. 3200’s contents?

WS: To me the scariest part is also the most misunderstood. It’s the part where the bill puts so many impossible restrictions on private insurance that basically no one will be able to buy it. Many think that the bill outlaws private insurance (in Canada it is illegal to procure your own health care outside the government system, except in Quebec). Although that’s not the case, it still leaves many at the mercy of the government system.

I know you’re tired. If I have to call one more of these idiots and tell them the logical, economical and moral thing to do on healthcare, I think I’ll scream. However, we can’t give up. We can’t stop just inches from our goal. Real reform is a great idea. What the liberals are offering us is socialism on a hospital tray, not anything close to reform we can believe in. I’ll leave you with Wendy’s final message to all Americans.

WS: Please don’t do it. You think it’s a good idea now because someone is sweet talking you and telling you about how wonderful it is. Canada’s system that you are so desperate to emulate is NOT the answer, and I beg you to tell your representatives that you don’t want this bill.
