This week President Obama teamed up with ABC-TV to promote his government takeover of healthcare. In a tightly scripted town hall style meeting at the White House the President responded to questions from the audience. The presidents response to one womans question regarding treatment for her elderly mother provided a nuanced, but still startling glimpse into the very real possibly of Americans being denied healthcare by the government. And all we're suggesting -- and we're not going to solve every difficult problem in terms of end-of-life care; a lot of that is going to have to be we as a culture and as a society starting to make better decisions within our own families and for ourselves. But what we can do is make sure that at least some of the waste that exists in the system that's not making anybody's mom better, that is loading up on additional tests or additional drugs that the evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve care, that at least we can let doctors know, and your mom know, that you know what, maybe this isn't going to help, maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller. We base our concerns about denying certain Americans health care not just on the Presidents statements this week, but on two votes in a United States Senate committee when attempts to prohibit rationing by the government were voted down by Democratic members of the committee. This concern about rationing is only magnified when you consider the very real possibility that you might be denied a treatment or a procedure, while at the same time being forced, through your tax dollars, to underwrite a mother ending the life of her unborn child. As Ive said before we believe every American should have access to affordable, quality healthcare and we believe that can be done without a government takeover of healthcare. Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina introduced the Health Care Freedom Act this week which appears to be a healthy alternative to a government takeover. The President and the Congress should give it full consideration. For more information visit frc.org. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjGpzLw7hxI
