Words escape me. Great Britain demanding the death of ill children. Infanticide.

Little Alvie Evans died last night. A toddler child confined to a National Health Service Hospital; their dictates, their decrees, and finally, the throwing of the switch. Alfie isn’t the first notorious case the world is aware of coming out of England. Remember Charlie Gard? “Charlie Gard: A Society Which Loses its Humanity, Loses its Soul”

Alvie Evans’ story is another glimpse into what happens in a totalitarian Socialist State. It’s another example of outcomes when the State owns your healthcare and your life. Think about it. In socialism, the People are owned by the government, their everyday lives are affected, but worst of all, the government owns your body by being in control of your healthcare.

Joe Herring writes eloquently about Alfie Evans’ plight, “Another Child Sacrifice on Britain’s NHS Altar” published only hours before the baby’s death was reported, but he nails what’s wrong with Britain’s National Heath Service, and the dangerous outcomes of complete State control of your healthcare. In the cases of Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans it isn’t just the confiscation of their rights by the State, but Great Britain has taken the right to determine what is best for children out of the hands of the parents. The United Kingdom’s judiciary and National Health Service own the children, and parental rights have been extinguished.

Alfie Evans’ case is even more egregious than infant Charlie’s. In Alfie’s case there was more knowledge and aid available to assist him, from diagnosis to treatment, than in Charlie’s situation. Italy had granted baby Alfie citizenship and was standing by with an air ambulance to take Alfie to Italy for care. But that was not to be allowed – no escape from the British Kingdom of Socialism. Note that money was not an issue for Charlie Gard or Alfie Evans, both had either raised the funds needed for critical transport and care, or it was being given to them. It was simply a matter that the NHS wasn’t going to turn the babies loose[…]

Graham-Cassidy, Medicaid, Medicare, Obamacare

Unified Patriots by Bob Montgomery

What is this? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/09/19/graham-cassidy-health-care-bill/681029001/

It says it will keep much of Obamacare tax structure in place, but give the money to the states to allow them to create their own health care “systems” in the form of block grants.

So does that mean Medicaid is Kaput? Not according to this article:

Thirty-one states and the District of Columbia expanded Medicaid under Obamacare to people earning up to 138% of poverty. The Graham-Cassidy legislation would immediately block more states from expanding Medicaid and would stop the existing expansions in 2020. Instead, states would receive per capita block grants to address the needs of low-income residents.

So it won’t end Medicaid, just stop the expansion of it. Riiiiiiight! So now, we’re going to have to pay for Medicaid programs and we’re going to have to pay for Graham-Cassidy programs and we’re going to keep paying the Obamacare taxes that are inserted throughout the tax code.

So is this a win? Really????

Does letting the states create health care systems they want mean there are no strings attached? So that means no Congressional oversight, just dole out the money?

Recently, William McGurn of the WSJ, wrote a thoughtful and compassionate article regarding the situation of Charlie Gard. WSJ has a paywall, here is another source:
I agreed 100% with Mr. McGurn’s perspective, and had some additional thoughts/perspective to add regarding this tragic story.

Let’s go back to 1930’s Germany. Hitler went through the hospitals and killed the old, the sick, the infirm, and the disabled. Family and friends of loved ones who they expected to return home or at least be cared for in the health institutions of that era, never saw them again. Essentially, the “undesirables” of society ended up as part of the millions killed in the Holocaust. Too few people study Germany and the changes in her cultural institutions before World War II, but that’s critical to ultimately understanding the onset of that war. Germany had to be groomed by Hitler in the 1930’s to pave the way for his plans of taking over Europe and initiating/completing his “Final Solution.” Those plans included not only Jews, but the weak, disabled, elderly and his political opponents.

Charlie Gard’s story gives us a glimpse of this same pathway. Britain’s National Health Service has been set up to “own” the individual – whether child or adult. When Charlie was born and had to be placed in neonatal intensive care, the NHS terminated the parental rights of Charlie’s parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard. The parents have spent precious months fighting for the right to take the baby out of the NHS and come to America where a physician was willing to try an experimental treatment. In baby Charlie’s case, it wasn’t even about money because the parents had independently raised the necessary funds, but it is/was about who has the RIGHT to determine what was best for Charlie.

The parents wanted to try anything possible to save his life – the State decided nothing was possible and took all control of Charlie away from Connie and Chris. This is what happens in a State controlled health service. The parents appealed to the European Union’s High Court, and the decision of the UK Court AND the National Health Service was upheld. Considering what is happening in the Netherlands – their open and almost gleeful embrace of euthanasia, assisted suicide – the EU Court siding with Britain’s NHS is no surprise. Read another WSJ article, “In the Netherlands, the Doctor Will Kill You Now” by Kees van der Staaij[…]

Democrats Go Bonkers Over 142-Page ‘Better Healthcare Reconciliation Act’

Progressives are going insane but who cares.  They are the party of obstructionists.  They can’t handle the truth.

Independent Sentinel by S. Noble

On Thursday, the Senate published the revised healthcare bill titled, the Better Healthcare Reconciliation Act. It is not a complete replacement but it’s not simply a fix either. The bill is a refinement of the House bill.

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer came out Thursday with their prepared remarks on the Senate healthcare bill as soon as it was released. These two must be speed readers since they already condemned it.

Democrats would not take part in the process of writing the healthcare bill but they do like to criticize it.

Senators have a week to read the 142-page bill and offer amendments. By way of contrast, Republicans had 24 hours to read the more than 2,000+-page Obamacare bill, but were not allowed to offer amendments.

Obamacare was written in secret and Republicans were not allowed to participate in the planning. With this new bill, however, Democrats were invited to participate in the writing of the bill and they refused, to a man.

It is clear that Republicans could present a bill written under a collaboration of Jesus, Allah and Yahweh and Democrats would have rejected it. Democrats are obstructionists. They are party of ‘no’.

Jonathan Gruber counting on “stupidity of the American voter” again.

Affordable Care Act, fail, Healthcare Reform, Jonathan Gruber, Obamacare, Progressive Revisionist History

Oh buddy.  Jonathan “the stupidity of the American voter” Gruber tried to blame President Trump on the failings of Obamacare during an exchange  this weekend on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.

Wallace, of course, called Gruber out at which point Gruber tried to back up his statement by claiming that the President refused to honor Obamacare’s obligations to healthcare insurers.

In Gruber’s twisted mind that is the reason for healthcare insurers dropping out of the exchange.

Gruber didn’t count on, however, Karl Rove’s whiteboard (not that it or Rove was needed.)

Another case of Progressive revisionist history. All LIES.

Hospitals, doctors and healthcare insurers began dropping out of Obamacare as far back as 2013, four years before Donald Trump was elected.
