Shocking Audio: Rep. Dingell Says ObamaCare Will Eventually ‘Control the People’
Congressman John Dingle, Democrat, Michigan admits they want to control the people with Obamacare.
Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), the Dean of the House of Representatives for being the longest serving member of the body (he was first elected in 1955, succeeding his father, Rep. John Dingell, Sr.), made an amazing admission during a live telephone interview with Detroit WJR News/Talk 760 radio talk show host Paul W. Smith on Smith’s show Monday morning, March 22, 2010. The night before, Dingell had been a featured speaker at the Democrat Congressional leadership victory press conference after Obamacare passed the House.
In response to a question posed by Smith, Dingell said:Shocking Audio: Rep.

Dear Friends,
It is said one should not ask how sausage or laws are made. Are you concerned about a public option? Let me share with you some insight about health care legislation which may not be good for your health.
A lesson in politics. The Kucinich Prediction: Here's what's going to happen ...
1. House will make a big deal about keeping/putting a public option in HR3200 because it competes with insurance companies and will keep insurance rates low.
2. The White House will refer to the President's speech last week where he spoke favorably of the public option.
3. The Senate will kill the competitive public option in favor of non-competitive "co-ops". Senate leaders like Kent Conrad have said the votes to pass a public option were never there in the Senate.
4. The bill will come to a House-Senate Conference Committee without the public option.
5. House Democrats will be told to support the conference report on the legislation to support the President.
6. The bill will pass, not with a "public option" but with a private mandate requiring 30 million uninsured to buy private health insurance (if one doesn't already have it). If you are broke, you may get a subsidy. If you are not broke, you will get a fine if you do not purchase insurance.
This legislative sausage will be celebrated as a new breakthrough and will be packaged as health insurance reform. However, the bill may require a Surgeon General's warning label: Your Money or Your Life!
The bill that Congress passes may pale in comparison to the bill that millions of Americans will get every month/year for having or not having private health insurance.
It will take four years for the new legislation to go into effect. During that time we are going to build a constituency of millions in support of real health care, a constituency which will be recognized and a cause which is right and just: Health Care as a Civil Right.Dear Friends,
It is said one should not ask how sausage or laws are made. Are you... more

LaRouche people with huge Obama Hitler posters, in fear of being "edited", ran from cameras at a recent health care reform town hall. On the other hand, Photoshopping Obama is no problem for them.
When confronted by pro-reform heath care protesters armed with a copy of HR 3200 and asked to find anywhere in the bill that mentions euthanasia or death panels the LaRouche people ran for cover.
Someone remarked to me that perhaps they were simply paid protesters and didn't really have a stake in it. They didn't have any strong opinions or concrete facts. They simply wanted to have a presence there.

Can't afford a Shepard Fairey print in these hard times? If you really want an investment tip, buy signed pictures of Mike Bancroft in front of Shepard Fairey's art work outside of the ICA in Boston August 14-16. All proceeds will be invested into more prints of Mr. Bancroft in front of Mr. Fairey's art work and any additional profits donated to youth arts education. Here is a segment of an interview Jason Foumberg did with Mr. Bancroft in New City.
"Mike believes that the recent fight over copyright and fair use, as embodied by the Shepherd Fairey versus the Associated Press legal battle, is important, but misunderstood by Fairey himself. As an artist who appropriates images, Fairey has gone on to sue other artists who borrow his own trademarks, notably Obey. As a parody, Mike will set up a lemonade stand outside Fairey’s museum retrospective in Boston, and sell touristy photographs of himself posing with Fairey’s art, as a way to sell Fairey’s art itself. Mike expects that police will get involved, but for him, it’s just a way to uphold his view that we’ve got to open ourselves up to get things done. "

I've heard so much about how "great" a single payer system will be for America, but I have to ask: if the Federal Government can't get it right for our Native Americans, why should we trust them with our care?
From the New England Journal of Medicine
"The outdated, understaffed hospital in this community had only four beds, a busy outpatient clinic with five working exam rooms, and a small emergency room with four stations. A few run-down trailers held additional clinics and services. A sign on the door of the emergency room cautioned patients not to bring firearms into the facility — a constant reminder of perennial violence and trauma. After the vast, shiny university teaching hospital in which I had most recently worked, this facility came as quite a shock.
Part of my job was to help cover the emergency room. Although the hospital was built to be staffed by 12 physicians, only 3 others worked there when I arrived. During every emergency room shift, I cared for adults and children with broken bones from unintentional injuries and car accidents, attended to patients in various stages of alcohol or drug intoxication, and treated the unfortunate and often preventable complications of chronic disease.
...
Although the federal government has a trust responsibility to provide health care for American Indians and Alaska Natives, the Indian Health Service is substantially underfunded and understaffed. This service was established in 1955 to provide primary care and public health services on or near Indian reservations. Although it can take credit for great improvements in health status, significant disparities in health and the quality of care persist 50 years later (see Figure 1). Many factors contribute to these disparities, but the failure of the federal government to adequately fund the Indian Health Service for the provision of care to the 1.8 million patients it is supposed to serve means that the promises of treaties signed in the 1800s have never been fulfilled. Indian Health Service per capita health care expenditures are much lower than those of other health care systems in the United States."
Here's another article by the Commonwealth Fund
http://www.commonwealthfund.org/usr_doc/roubideaux_qualityhltcare_aians_756.pdf
Finally, read this article, from which I got my title:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tim-giago/how-will-universal-health_b_218636.html
"Those Americans opposed to it compare it to Canada's or Britain's health care systems, which they say are nothing but socialized medicine. The Indian Health Care system, deemed a "historic failure" by Sebelius, has also been labeled as socialized medicine, and the fact that she would label it as a failure does not place much faith in an even larger universal health care system. It just seems that every time the federal government takes total control over anything, failure is almost assured. Watch out General Motors."
"This brings us full circle to the old saying, 'If you think the government can solve all of our problems ask an Indian.'I've heard so much about how "great" a single payer system will be for... more
