Heed Reagan’s Warning on Obamacare
Dear Newsmax Reader:
Our great president Ronald Reagan passed away in 2004, but he said something that still resonates today.
Reagan said: “One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can’t afford it.”
Boy does that resonate!
It sounds like President Reagan had the foresight to see the dangers of Obamacare.
Even more amazing is that Ronald Reagan spoke those words in 1961, before he ever ran for office.
But Reagan’s comments are not surprising if you understand liberalism.
Creating a national health care system has been a major priority for the left wing for over 50 years!
Time and again the Congress and the American people have rejected socialized medicine.
Now Obama is pushing for a radical takeover of one-sixth of the U.S. economy.
But Obama is perhaps the most clever liberal ever.
He knows the American people would never go for a national system like they have in Britain or Canada.
So his plan calls for several steps for Obamacare to become a reality.
Help us stop his plan — Go Here Now.
First, he lies and tells people “you keep your doctor, you keep your insurer.”
At the same time he creates a “public option” — allowing any business to move its employees into the public system.
He knows what you know — this will create a mass exodus from private insurers to the cheaper, taxpayer subsidized public system.
Meanwhile, he plans to add 50 million new patients -— including illegal aliens — to the system.
Reagan understood that schemes like Obama’s are not about providing quality health care.
It is about statism. It is about government control and dependence. It is a threat to your freedom.
As I write this, millions of Americans are going on vacation.
But Obama and his allies are preparing for a major assault on Congress next week.
He has also called for a dramatic full session of Congress next week.
He is not calling this session to offer compromise.
He plans on using his national address to Congress as a giant pep rally to ram his radical program through Congress.
He wants the hoopla of a Congressional speech to overshadow his plummeting poll numbers, the mass protests we saw this summer at town halls across the nation and the growing anger toward his plan by Seniors.
We here at the League of American Voters can’t go on vacation.
Please help us -— Go Here Now.
We can’t compromise with Obama and the radical Democrats.
We need to fight back.
Right now, we are laying out our plans to continue rolling out our national TV campaign across the nation.
Our ad was created by Dick Morris, the Fox News analyst.
Dick says we are the number one group in the nation fighting Obamacare.
So, we know many of our supporters are taking off this holiday — and we wish you a relaxing and fun time.
But we are asking that you strike a blow for freedom, to stand with the principles of Ronald Reagan — and join and donate to League of American Voters.
Please support us and join with us — Go Here Now.
As Reagan said: “If not us, who? If not now, when?”
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Bob Adams
Executive Director
P.S. Just this week Nancy Pelosi stated unequivocally Congress will pass the Obamacare plan with the “public option.” I warned you that these reports of a compromise was just a stall maneuver by the Democrats”. We must hit the ground running after Labor Day. Please donate today — Go Here Now.
