Healthcare That Will Make You Sick - Key Facts About Obama's Sick Health Reform

Be sure your older friends and loved ones see

it. They'll be the first to be rationed.I can't wait

for my suicide counseling sessions

with a bureaucrat.


I did not compile this very important material. Yet, I am grateful to whomever did and I would love to give them credit for all the hard work they did here. I am just simply trying to help them disseminate the information they thought was vital for Americans.


Just so you know what is really in President Obama's health care bill, I have prepared this informational blog to give everyone a heads-up about reforms of America's Health Care system that will ultimately kill many of us. Please read these key points and decide if this is really...


OH Really? Let's See About That...

Subject: A few highlights from the first 500 pages of the Healthcare bill in congress

Contact your Representatives and let them know how you feel about this. We, as a country, cannot afford another 1000 page bill to go through congress without being read. Another 500 pages to go. I have highlighted a few of the items that are down right unconstitutional.

• Page 22: Mandates audits of all employers that self-insure!

• Page 29: Admission: your health care will be rationed!


• Page 30: A government committee will decide what treatments and benefits you get (and, unlike an insurer, there will be no appeals process)
• Page 42: The "Health Choices Commissioner" will decide health benefits for you. You will have no choice. None.

E2 Page 72: All private healthcare plans must conform to government rules to participate in a Healthcare Exchange.

So, who will want to be a Doctor Now?

Page 84: All private healthcare plans must participate in the Healthcare Exchange

Total government control of private plans?

Ask Chief Surgeon Obama - Oh He operated and lost the patient!

• Page 91: Government mandates linguistic infrastructure for services; translation: illegal aliens


They don't pay - Not even in taxes - We DO!

• Page 102: Those eligible for Medicaid will be automatically enrolled: you have no choice in the matter.

• Page 239: Bill will reduce physician services for Medicaid. Seniors and the poor most affected."
• Page 241: Doctors: no matter what specialty you have, you'll all be paid the same (thanks, AMA!)
• Page 253: Government sets value of doctors' time, their professional judgment, etc.
0 Page 265: Government mandates and controls productivity for private healthcare industries.

• Page 429: Advance Care Planning Consult will be used to dictate treatment as patient's health deteriorates. This can include an ORDER for end-of-life plans. An ORDER from the GOVERNMENT.
• Page 430: Government will decide what level of treatments you may have at end-of-life.


Can You Believe This Ad below For Mercy Killing?

• Page 469: Community-based Home Medical Services: more payoffs for ACORN.
• Page 472: Payments to Community-based organizations: more payoffs for ACORN.
• Page 489: Government will cover marriage and family therapy. Government intervenes in your marriage.
• Page 494: Government will cover mental health services: defining, creating and rationing those services.

None of this was intended to frighten or incite fear, though there is every reason to believe that it did both, as it does with me. There is a time to speak up, to cry out, to demand that the constitution be followed.
It is your country,
your family
your freedom,
YOUR LIFE!

Introducing - Retribution! The Champion Chronicles: Book One

Retribution
by
M. Flagg


ISBN 1-60154-551-7

Dreams often reflect hidden desires . . . even if they are terrifying. Michael Malone, a unique creature of the night, has taken down three evil sorcerers. He’s not successful.

Faced with eternal suffering, a compassionate soul helps this Champion create an intricate fantasy until he can be rescued by the Georgian Circle. His tale of passion and suspense is tinged with many truths. Eternal devotion to a Guardian of Souls and a troubled teenager forces this mystically enhanced vampire to dream of survival.

He yearns to be in Alana’s arms. He vows to protect Lukas, his mortal son. As he confronts his guilty, undead life his imagination runs wild. But Michael begins to lose hope, believing that there is no such thing as redemption. Why did the commanding Champion jeopardize his own immortality? Michael Malone has two very good reasons. One is revenge and the other is love.

Short Excerpt...

Wounds streaked his gaunt cheeks. Wavy hair matted with blood. Slashed chest, arms pierced several times—hours of fighting plunged the Champion into weariness no human could endure. So be it, I am ready. One swift stroke of a silver blade across my neck and I turn to dust and bone. My soul will burn for all eternity.


Michael's thoughts turned to the woman he would always love.


My Guardian… my love, from the first moment I saw you, I was yours forever. I couldn't tell you about this. I couldn't put you in danger again. His fading mind turned to the motivation behind his vengeance. Lukas, my precious gift, I have always loved you. I promised myself that the bastards would pay!


This vampire could thrust and parry with the best swordsmen of any dimension. He had centuries of practice. Michael raised his blade for what he figured would be the last time. The weary Champion felt a strange sensation, as if an impermeable shield covered his vulnerable heart.


“Is it finally over?” he shouted to the clouded heavens. “I signed away salvation a year ago! Have I at least made amends for some small fraction of my past?”


A resonant “no” echoed through the vampire's conscience. No matter how many good deeds he did, a special spot awaited him in Hell.


Who Is M. Flagg

I am a writer, a reader, and music teacher. I have two books contracted with The Wild Rose Press, Retribution! and Consequences in the paranormal romance genre. Previously, I am published in the field of urban music education.


My incredible journey into writing took a lifetime of fractured events. Born and raised in northern New Jersey, I spent the first nineteen years of life in the florist shop that my father had. This makes me an original flower-child before the 1960s began! When Mom purchased a piano for my sister, my destiny was revealed.

A love of learning led me to a degree in Music Education, which led to the study of acting at RADA in London, which led to a masters degree in teaching, which led to a supervisors certificate, which led to an M. Ed. in Educational Leadership. Although tempted, the doctorate is on hold . . . for now.


Bringing the love of music and fine arts to an entire K-8 school in an urban setting is a daily joy. And accompanying a church choir conducted by the talented woman who taught me music in high school is an additional pleasure.


While pursuing certification as a principal, I wrote many journals and educational essays. One professor called me a writer and I quickly replied, “Nah . . . I’m a music teacher.” But once the intense course of study was completed and after many changes in my life, I began Retribution! Passion sharpens one’s creative edge. The love and support of my children, my family, and my friends encouraged me to take a chance and pursue a dream.


As a writer, what type of stories do you Write or Read?

All three of my novels have a strong theme of redemption. What good is a dark, brooding character if he cant find his way to love and happiness? As a reader, I've always been a sucker for the happy ending. But I enjoy reading a well-plotted journey.

As a reader, what is your favorite genre, writer?

Favorite genre? Do I have to have one? I love sagas. I've read every Taylor Caldwell novel ever written. Rice, Clancy, Ludlum, McCullough, or Michener - writers with depth and a good story to tell holds my interest.
A book You CAN Judge by It's Cover!

I love the cover! It is really great. I wanted to read it the moment I saw it. I think the woman at the bottom of the book cover looks beautiful and profound, somewhat calm, but knows she's in danger. The little boy, with Angelic eyes, adds great intensity to your metaphor. The eyes above gives a taste of why they seem exposed and in danger. Of course the title is very alluring as well.


It all fits just right and tells me it would be a well-invested time reading a book that sits behind this very powerful and intense cover. It looks like this might indeed be a book that reads you!
