Obama speaks of taking over Americans health care

Letter to the editor of the Morning Call.

The health insurance plans put forth by House Speaker Pelosi and favored by President Obama are just the first step toward total government control of every American's health care. They will tell you that is not true but they are not telling the truth. On March 24, 2007, candidate Obama spoke at a SEIU health care forum and said
"I don't think we will be able to elimate employer coverage immediately. There's going to be potentially some transition period."
Democrat Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky declared on April 18, 2009 that the public option "will put private insurance companies out of business." Just last week Congressman Barney Frank spoke of the public option being the best way for government to slowly take over the health insurance of all Americans.
Don't take my word for it, watch them say it themselves on YouTube. This is just more government control in the guise of helping Americans. Also, if health insurance is a right like many "progressives" claim, they why, under this plan, would the government have the decision-making power over most aspects of Americans health care?
