The community organizer has done it again. He has bypassed congress and the senate by using his power of recess appointments by appointing Donald Berwick administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. But why is this such a big deal? After all, by this point in George Bush's presidency, he had use this power 15 times. Right now Obama is at 18 and counting. The problem here is Obama promised transparency in his administration. He said that we, the American people deserved to know what our government is doing and why. Well, funny how congress is on break for 11 days and Obama just slips this guy right in. No questions, no nomination, no chance for the american people to hear his views on health care. And just what are those views? Glad you asked. Here are 2 links...the 1st one is an article from ABC news that gives a little background on Mr. Berwick. It includes some quotes from him on how he favors Britian's helathcare system and actually comes right out and says that the "decision is not whether or not we will ration care -- the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open. And right now, we are doing it blindly." Really? We are rationing right now? And we are doing it so poorly that we need to make better decisions of who lives and dies? Interesting. So this guy is in favor of rationing. Beautiful. Here is the 1st link:

Now this 2nd link is a video that should worry you. No, it should scare the pants off you. It is a speech that Berwick gave back to in 2008 on Brtian's health care program in the UK. Watch this and then try to make the argument that Obama is not a socialist. He was the one who just appointed this guy while the congress is on break, knowing that the nomination would stall in the senate and would probably not get through.

This is just the beginning folks. I predict that when the full scope of those plan starts to take shape and is in effect, most of the people who voted for this guy, most of whom favored health care reform, these people are going to be wondering why they can not keep their same doctor, or why they can not get health care coverage from their employer. they will be the ones saying that I had a good plan with my employer, what happened? They are the same ones who will go to get the cancer drug that could save their life but be told that it is not cost effective and the government will not pay for it. They will realize that they are being rationed out and then they will begin to wonder if this whole thing was a good idea. But by then it will be too late. The 54 % of us who are still strongly against this ( Rasmussen poll March 21 2010- 54% disapprove, 41 % approve) already know all this. Hopefully we can reel it back in somewhat and delay much of this by voting out the fools who voted in favor of this horrendous bill. November 2nd is coming. This may be the most important election of our lifetime. Followed by November 2012. Yes, i feel it is that serious and that dire. There is much more in this 2000 page bill that is still not known. Remember Nancy Pelosi insane statement, "we have to pass the bill before we know what's in it." Everyday we are finding out more things that are in this bill that we were told would never be in it. We were told that the cost would reduce the deficit and stay under a trillion dollars. We now know that the Congressional Budget Office has reversed their position on that saying that it will cost more than originally projected. No kidding? A government program that exceeds what they originally said it would. We were told that Sara Palin was flat out wrong when she said there would be "death panels" or rationing. We now see that that was a lie and she was right. What other conclusion can one come to after we now see what Berwick believes and how he is in love with Britain's system? Like I said, it is just the beginning and we are seeing the quick dissecting of America piece by piece and at a much faster rate than I could ever imagine.
