Health care will be voted on this sunday by Congress.
And a second vote will take place on Monday when the Stock Marget weighs in on what has just taken place.
The Stock Market also voted in November of 2008.
Watch the portions of Medical Practice that do best under tyrannical systems….psychiatry, birth, drugs for both…the stocks will soar.
Watch the portions of the stock market tied to a free market health system…they will plunge, especially in the creation of small businesses. The Stock Market could even crash on Monday.
“I think this is a two-step process,” Cramer said. “The first step is this health care – which they scored it as not being that bad for taxes. You and I think that’s a little disingenuous. But what will happen next, I think Obama will be emboldened as he would be – a big victory. So the next thing is a push for amnesty for people who have immigrated to the country not legally. And I think that’s where you’re really going to get the step in the function up in the cost of this. I wish that we would – the debate in Congress dealt more with this because what would really break the back of Treasury is a whole group of people who we never thought we’d be covering who we will be covering.”
The “Mad Money” host suggested these impediments will constrict the American entrepreneurial spirt.
“This is where I think, again, if you’re going to try to get employment down – which I think you and I both know is the secret to the growth of this country and the secret to restoring our country’s greatness, frankly – you can’t have impediments put in that are certainly going to counteract any of these little job bills that Congress is passing. I think the single biggest impediment is before I hire an employee it’s going to cost me $12,000. I better stay at my old job. I better not start a new job. And yet America is based on people taking those risks and starting new jobs.”
“President Obama has finally demanded an “up or down vote” on his health care plan. Republicans have already raised numerous economic and procedural objections, arguing that his plan relies on economic “smoke and mirrors” and that the president is now endorsing the same controversial “reconciliation” process that he denounced in 2005 as a senator as “the wrong place for policy changes.” Yet the president and his supporters remain committed to their goal of government-run “universal health care.” Why is that?
The key is Obama’s declaration, “I don’t know how this plays politically, but I know it’s right.” Ultimately, Obama and his liberal base believe that government-guaranteed health care is a “moral imperative” — i.e., “it’s right.” And that will also be the key to defeating it.
As Leonard Peikoff once wrote, “So long as people believe that socialized medicine is a noble plan, there is no way to fight it. You cannot stop a noble plan — not if it really is noble. The only way you can defeat it is to unmask it — to show that it is the very opposite of noble. Then at least you have a fighting chance.”
…If we violate those principles in a vain attempt to guarantee “universal health care,” we will violate the moral principle that each man is entitled to the fruits of his labor, instead enslaving each man to pay for his neighbor’s medical care. We will destroy the prosperity and innovation that make modern medicine possible. We will give the government control over how doctors may practice, and which treatments patients may or may not receive. Our lives will no longer be ours, but rather the government’s. The end result will be, in Leonard Peikoff’s words, “the very opposite of noble.”
Benjamin Franklin once said, “They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.” Let us not ignobly enslave ourselves for an illusion of “guaranteed health care.” We’ll have neither freedom nor health care — and we’ll deserve neither.

I was just watching c-span
and the host was talking with his guest about health care and the teaparty “people”. Many callers took the time to share views on “what the teaparty people” think, and although none claimed to be members of this maligned crowd, it was interesting to me to have others attempting to describe who I am and what I think.
I thought I’d take a minute to share my views on health care as it relates to teaparty attendees, simply because I am a fierce teapartier and I write a health care blog.
I can’t speak for others and I don’t know that any of my friends who have also taken to the streets this past year feel as I do, but I want to make one point. The dark night of medical fascism has been hanging as a blight over the American People for a long time. Each step that has been taken legislatively to remove our rights of self determination and place a doctor, a social worker, a pharmacist, and a judge over our bodies and minds has brought us to this place. The big question in my mind is,
How BLEAK will the dark night of Medical Fascism become?
Lord knows for those parents who have children removed from their custody simply because of refusal to vaccinate, refusal to medicate with psychiatric meds, refusal to use chemo for cancer, refusal to have a newborn incarcerated in a NICU, refusal to have any doctor recomended surgery, drug, psychiatric intervention etc etc etc the bleakness has been overwhelming. Tens of thousands of families in America have learned first hand what happens when Mom or Dad says “No thanks, don’t want to use the product you are selling” and that big, nasty, overpriced medical arm comes crashing down and yells, “YES YOU WILL!
Parents have lost custody of their children over and over and over again when that Medical Behemoth declares them unfit for refusal to use the services, medications, and medical devices they produce to sell to consumers. This blog is dedicated to exposing some of those abuses of power and giving parents a place to learn how to protect themselves and their children from the iantrogenic (doctor caused) abuses that seem to be attached to every drug and every medical practice, especially those around birth and psychiatric care.
As President Obama prepares to use the Delphi Technique to manipulate the Nation to his predetermined outcome of Government Run Health Care, the questions that citizens and the politicians need to ask him is this:
Do consumers have the right to say NO?
Will citizens be supported in choosing to use alternative healing as opposed to drugs and surgery when making health care decisions?
Will citizens be able to retain their sovereignty over their own bodies and minds?
Will parents be enabled to make those health care choices that they believe will give their children the best outcomes physically and emotionally? And if a Mother or a Father decides that the health care services being offered are too expensive, carry too much risk, and/or they have found alternatives that are just as good or better than the toxic brew offered at the hospital….WILL THOSE PARENTS BE SUPPORTED IN CHOOSING SOMETHING BESIDES WHAT THE DOCTOR PRESCRIBES???
For this teapartier, the ultimate principle in all of the health care debate is this:
If I don’t have the right to claim sovereignty over my own body and mind, and if I as a Mother don’t have the right to make health care choices for and in behalf of my children until they are old enough to make those choices for themselves, then I am already a Medical Slave and it doesn’t really matter who is paying the bills.
Wether it is my husbands employer or the taxpayers paying the bills, the Medical Profession will keep chugging along, paying politicians on both sides of the isle and playing it straight down the middle legislatively. I don’t think the Pharmaceutical Companies who run the Medical Schools and the Media care too much who is paying the bills. Wether the health care system is the current Medical Fascism or Complete Socialism or straight on Commuism, somebody is going to pay.
The Medical Police State will stay high up on its pedastal until we the people decide to get off our knees and learn a thing or two about how to be really healthy.
True Health, Lasting life giving fun joyful whole living health is to be found in a kernal of whole wheat, a gently birthed babe, a tummy full of mothers milk, and joyful, healthy, family life….
And the Government doesn’t have a whole heck of lot to do with those things.

please note that the Big Pharma trolls who follow me around the web will prob show up to harrass and make trouble in the chat or as callers. Alot of money is at stake if the Mothers Act goes out with the health care bill. And I have no doubt the Big Pharma Goons are closely monitoring this radio interview.
