It’s politics as usual, with those in Washington and some of the anti-abortion religious groups playing to the masses for their own individual and corporate welfare with respect to the outrageousness which is occuring on the health care deform – a bill the majority of Americans spoke loud and clear about with respect to the lack of any true "reform" included in it.
Rather, simply another "welfare act" for the financial and insurance sector, and medical community – and corporate America.
Most of those "subsidies" that are included are directed toward giving taxpayer sums to corporate America in order to bulk up both their profits, and the insurance industries in the process.
Who do, after all, provide the bulk of the campaign contributions to those in Washington. Little is actually being directed toward the middle class, or working poor – or self-employed once again, although it is being spun that direction in order to again make this horrendous Constitutional violation palatable to the public.
Rather than simply also giving the same tax deductions to small businessess and sole proprietors that are already available and given to larger corporate employers – equalizing that would also help small businesses and sole proprietors get coverage with the extra savings they would be receiving in lowering their own tax brackets in the process, and also getting reimbursed for maintaining their own physical health so that Washington can continue to gain a piece of it for as long as possible.
But the abortion issue is a nonissue actually, and again appears this is being used in order to misconstrue the entire focus of this bill to begin with as a "health care stimulus bill" for the financial sector.
The argument over federal funding for elective abortions actually is such hyperbole it is at this point incredible, and does go to show just how much the media is being used in order to shift the focus on many of the provisions of the bill which bear further scrutiny while focusing on a really inconsequential provision.
Why inconsequential?
As with the health care bill’s focus on whether or not it should provide benefits for immigrants, whether legal or otherwise (since this broad terminology will be played with in the courts in the near future on a "test" case using an illegal in order to set a precedent), this argument now over elective abortions is redudant and really "after the fact," since at the present time health care for legal or illegal immigrants is already provided under separate legislation that was enacted "behind closed doors" but apparently only known widely by those who have lived in a border state for any length of time, as is also elective abortions.
How so?
Many groups and "civic" organizations throughout the country receive federal funding for their programs through grant monies provided.
Planned Parenthood, as a deemed "educational institution" primarily is one of them, and also provides services for elective abortions – in fact, is one of the civic organization that has become the focus of those opposing abortion, but also those not at all opposing abortion in and of itself, but opposing the "partial birth" abortion method utilized throughout the country at some public or low cost health care clinics now for elective, not emergency, abortions well over the Roe v. Wade decision’s first term ruling.
The procedure that is nothing more than the "section and suction" extraction that has resulted in many women becoming subseqently sterile in the process due to the procedure itself which can and has pierced a woman’s uterus effectively making her unable to carry a full term child thereafter.
And is in the opinion of many, barbaric in its method.
But this argument, without recission of the grant monies that are given now to many of these groups throughout the nation for elective abortions, has done a great job in swinging attention in other provisions and the entire focus itself and all those that have been crying foul to instead selective, rather inconsequential due to prior legislation, features of it.
Which apparently is the goal, after all, not the fact that the entire bill was written for and by the special interest groups and industries which will once again benefit without any fundamental changes in both the provision of health care in this country or its costs.
Or the fact that corporate and now "profits over provision" health care as initiated by the Nixon Administration has progressively resulted in now drive through mastectomies, 24 hour childbirths, staph infections, and lower birth survival rates in this country.
While now charging many a now jobless and homeless American another "fee" and "tax" for Washington if they are unable to comply. In essence, if Americans do not cowtow to Washington’s will, they will pay a price. A little less than the cost of getting that coverage – but either Big Daddy, or their special interest "favored subject" will profit, come hell or highwater.
Regulation, and performing their Constitutional function would address the difficulties that actually lack of regulation has created most of all, and also the expense and globalization of this financial sector into high risk investments they have progressively done with all those excess premium payments in weak economies thus then making their premium payers take some of those losses – with their very lives in denied coverages.
I mean, this legislations was the most expensive undertaking the health care industry has ever funded. Which means their profit margins at this point are off the charts in order to have paid six figure salaries to all those lobbyists on K Street in order to once again increase their bottom line profits at the American public’s expense.
Americans will once again be feeding the global investors in the health care sector, at now the cost of their very lives – and bankbooks.
It appears, soon all Americans will be on welfare due to legislating with this mindset and logic
