Proponents of the proposed U.S. health care legislation can deny the existence of mandated death committees all they want but it doesn’t change the eventualities of government run health care. No, Britain doesn’t have death committees mandated by their law either but it appears to be a natural result of government run rationed care. When government takes over health care the goal has got to be restrictions in the application of medical technology, especially when the recipient just doesn’t measure up to the standards… too old, close to death, or simply inconvenient and not cost effective. When you implement massive government control there are always unintended consequences. In the case of the British NHS it the drive toward allowing the old and terminal to die quickly to reduce costs.

When you consider the British unwritten policy of letting the old and terminal die quickly, alongside the fact that the British NHS has the highest absenteeism of any industry you may begin to see a pattern emerge. A pattern that does not bode well for the implementation of government run and ultimately rationed health care when society is used to having a system that values life above all else.

It may be expensive but I’d rather pay at the time of use than to be bled dry paying all the time for a system that is broken before it is even started.

Looks like Congressman Charles Rangel is an old hand a buying influence. This is another prime example of why we the voters do not need to let these arrogant individuals stay in office for so long. Rangel is under investigation for tax evasion and failure to report a million dollars of income and nearly three million dollars in business transactions. All from a man who writes the nations Tax laws.

The interesting thing about this story is that our own NC 1st congressman – Mr. G.K. Butterfield and two other members of the Congressional Ethics Committee were the receipients of a nice little campaign contribution from uncle Charlie. The most disappointing thing about it is the fact the as a member of the Ethics Committee investigating Congressman Rangel, Mr. G.K. Butterfield sees nothing wrong with receiving money from someone he’s supposed to be investigating.

In the real world, at the very least we call that conflict of interest and at worst taking of a bribe. The bottom line is that anyone contributing money to your campaign certainly will receive some special consideration even if it is subconscious.

Mr. Butterfield should immediately be removed from the Ethics Committee by Congress and then needs to be voted out of office by the public for his conduct in this matter as well as his blind support of the Waxman Climate Change bill and the emerging health care take over.
