The Obama Health Care Plan will be devastating for the American people. What we really need is a Single Payer System that insures no health care for Illegal Aliens and which completely legalizes Marijuana under the MERP Model so that the sick and poor can have a competing medicine that is completely free of government taxation or regulation.
The Problem The Solution The Role Of Marijuana in Health Care
The Problem:
Getting health care "right" is certainly one of the most important things that government needs to do in order to insure the health and security of the American People. Unfortunately much of the debate has been censored by the Obama administration and the Mainstream Media (MSM) who both serve the interests of a transnational global elite. Fortunately the American People are beginning to understand the underlying "demonic" intentions of both as evidenced by the recent town hall meetings on health care during the Congressional recess. And if you listen carefully the larger issue, looming in the minds of the American People, is that the government no longer represents the interests of the people.
At one of these meetings a 35 year old women put it into perfect perspective:
"I don't believe this is just about health care. It's not about TARP. It's not about left or right. It's about the systematic dismantling of this country. I'm only 35 years old. I've never been interesting in politics. You have awakened the sleeping giant. We are tired of this. This is why everybody in this room is so ticked off. I don't want this country turning in to Russia . . . "
What she is eluding to are a plethora of policies, on the part of the last seven administrations, beginning with President Carter. And every one of these politicians have been hand picked by a global elite under the tutelage of globalists such as Brzezinski and Kissinger. And while I don't completely agree with commentators such as, Glenn Beck, David Ickes, Alex Jones etc., I have to agree that they have added much more to the public discourse than the entire Mainstream Media combined. Something terrible is in the offing for the American People and it appears that the American People are beginning to notice. That is why there is so much anger at these town hall meetings.
Why is the government building 800 internment camps? Why, for the first time in US history do we have 30,000 US military on US soil to thwart civil unrest? Why have the last 7 presidential administrations put in place plans to institute "martial law" in the United States. Why do we see Posse Commitatus systematically being disassembled?
What does all of this have to do with the health care issue?
Let me give you my own "thumb nail" sketch focusing specifically on health care.
Between 1948 and 1964 there was a huge increase in birthrates in the United States that we now refer to as the "Baby Boom." In 2007 the first of these "baby boomers" reached the age of 60 making them potentially eligible to collect on the various entitlement programs: Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security etc. While they were young these "pay as you go" programs created huge amounts of revenue for these programs because, at that time, they had little need for acute health care (e.g., hip replacements, knee replacements, cancer treatments, long term disabilities etc.). This created more than enough funding to take care of the older generation which was much smaller in size to that of the "baby boomers." Unfortunately instead of putting the surplus money aside your congressional representatives allowed the remaining funds to be funneled into the federal budget each and every year. So instead of keeping a "lock box" with your retirement funds they stole your money and put a worthless IOU note in the box.
So now that the "baby boomers" are beginning to retire the ponzi scheme could no longer be hidden. There is no money left in the "lock box" meaning that the only way to make up for this deficit is to raise taxes to astronomical levels and to also restrict access to heath care. In short, the "baby boomers," and the generations following them, have been "screwed."
Making things far worse is a confluence of other factors that are quickly moving us toward the epicenter of a perfect storm. Some of these include:
* Wealth redistribution from the working class to the investment class through "ponzi scheme" bubbles such as the S&L crisis (1987), the "Dot Com" crisis (March 2000) and the "Housing Crisis" (2007). * Erosion of real worker income through the offshoring of our manufacturing base; outsourcing of American jobs to third world countries that both support and enforce "slave wages," * Insane immigration policies that provided de facto suspension of our immigration laws so that 12 to 20 million Legal and Illegal immigrants could pour into this country in order to depress both American wages and benefits.
And all of this was made possible by what I would call an "unholy trinity" composed of government, business and media. Since the Federal Reserve was established in 1913 control of all three of these entities has slowly fallen into the hands on the international banking elite. And the "perfect storm" was engineered by the very same scum bags. In an analogy to Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" it is the international banking elite that now control all of the rings of power.
And the "coup de grāce" is just around the corner: the coming derivatives bubble which now holds between 500 Trillion and 1000 Trillion in "toxic worthless assets." Just for perspective consider that all of the assets on the entire planet are worth less than 140 Trillion dollars.
And this is exactly why thinking American Citizens are so worried right now. So over the past few months Obama has tried to push forward a new health care plan which he insists is going to be wonderful for everyone. But there is plenty of reason to be suspicious. First of all he occasionally throws in that one of the goals for this plan to be "budget neutral," meaning that there must be sufficient taxes available to pay for the program. So how is he going to perform that trick without raising taxes or reducing health care benefits?
As much as I detest the philosophical inconsistency of Glen Beck I think he is right when he argues that this will be done by reducing benefits to the elderly, the infirm and the politically weak: just like Hitler did. Before you call both of us crazy I implore you to read the transcript of his recent show addressing this very topic:
Then there is Obama's employment of "purple shirt" SEIU thugs that have actually beaten Obama's health care opponents at recent town hall rallies. In the following video I want to make clear that I think unions have been good for the American working class. But everything else said is spot on:
Is there really much difference between Hitler's "brown shirts" and Obama's "purple shirts?"
The bottom line is that Obama is serving the very interests that truly put him into the Oval Office and those interests were not coming from donations of American Citizens. Instead his funding came from the very people he is now representing: the banking interests, the Pharmaceuticals, the Insurance Industry, the Prison Industrial Complex and the Military Industrial Complex.
To give you a brief idea as to who Obama is sleeping with these days just consider the following article by William Greider that discusses Obama's "deal" with "big pharma" on health care:
This is the bottom line of Obama's health care plan. It will not separate health insurance from your employer which means that when Obama replaces your job with foreigners, or sends your manufacturing plant to China, you won't have access to health care. And this accounts for about 50 percent of the bankruptcies in the United States. It won't get rid of the 15 to 30 percent of your health care dollar which now goes to the health insurance industry. It will most definitely result in the reduction in health care access to older American workers. And worst of all Obama is using this plan as part of his agenda to give health care to the 12 to 20 million Illegal Aliens that corporate America has allowed to slither into this country and reduce our wages and benefits. So the much younger Illegal Aliens, and visa overstays, will get increased health care coverage, while the older legal American Citizen is left to wither away and die.
Is this the change you voted for in November 2008?
It is also worth mentioning that, while most of the protesters at the town hall meetings were independents, about 20 to 30 percent were there to lobby against Single Payer Healthcare. And there is no doubt that these people were well funded by the banking interests, the Pharmaceuticals, the Insurance Industry, the Prison Industrial Complex and the Military Industrial Complex.
The Solution:
And that brings us to the part of the essay where I discuss a better health care plan.
I envision a form of "Single Payer Healthcare" that includes the following provisions:
* It must be completely independent of the work place. In other words your health insurance should no longer be tied to your place of employment and if you are unemployed you should still have full access to health care. This should eliminate the 50 percent of bankruptcies due to loss of health insurance.
* It must be implemented in such a way that no illegal immigrants or visa overstays get any coverage whatsoever. To make this stick I suggest a complete moratorium on all immigration into the United States. I would also insist that every worker in the United States is put through the E-Verify system to determine if they are Illegal Aliens or Visa Overstays. Of course both are essentially Illegal Aliens. Not only will this reduce the overall cost of health care -- it will also free up between 8 and 20 million jobs for Legal American Citizens.
* Both "chain migration" and "anchor baby" programs should be immediately ended. And those that came here through "chain migration" should be made to prove that the relative that "got them here" really is a relative through non-invasive genetic testing through mouth swabs of both relative and immigrant. All those that fail should be biometrically identified, in case they return, and deported within 6 months.
* Marijuana should be completely legalized under the MERP Model so that Marijuana can freely compete with Pharmaceutical drugs in order to reduce their costs. Vaporizers and Marijuana foods should be recommended in order to minimize the amounts of the combustible organic matter that ends up accumulating in the lungs of smokers.
* Regulation of Tobacco is unnecessary and Obama's recent move to put it under the discretion of the FDA is a joke as they are nothing but "whores" for the Pharmaceutical Industry. Years ago Surgeon General Sir Evertt Koop revealed that 95% of the lung cancer, from cigarettes, was due to the radioactive Polonium-240 which is found in the phosphate fertilizer used in tobacco production. Instead we should immediately look for solutions to remove this substance from the tobacco. We should also investigate alternative smoking solutions such as "electronic cigarettes" and "vaporizers," both of which would eliminate nearly all of the combustible organic matter that ends up accumulating in the lungs of smokers.
Here is a great summary of why we need a Single Payer Health Care System in the United States:
Every month another 14,000 Americans lose their health care or are denied coverage for a specific, often life-saving procedure, even though they have paid for their insurance. This continues to occur while the Congress "debates" the merits of the single-payer option.
So what do the Democrats holding town hall meetings and the mobs trying to disrupt the meetings have in common? No matter which side wins, millions of Americans will still go without coverage, hundreds of thousands will go into financial ruin over health-care costs, and insurance CEOs will laugh their way to the bank.
Don't be fooled by President Obama's plan for "mandates" and promises of a "public option," which mean continued skyrocketing health-care costs and huge taxpayer-funded subsidies to insurance companies; the public option has been taken off the table.
The only real solution is the single-payer plan, which covers every American regardless of income, age or prior medical condition.
Under single-payer, physicians and patients make decisions about medical care, not government or corporate bureaucracies, and everyone can choose his or her own health-care provider. Single-payer will save billions of dollars, because it eliminates the administrative costs, waste and high CEO salaries of for-profit health insurance.
Single-payer could be Congress's gift to working people and businesses alike. Single-payer will boost the economy by relieving businesses of the costly burden of providing health benefits.
Whether the Obama plan passes or Republicans get their way and no health-care reform is passed, insurance companies will win and the American people will lose. The health of the American people is more important than corporate profits. Let's make health-care a right for everyone and pass HR 676, the single-payer bill.

To beter understand the concept of "Single Payer Health Care" I would highly recommend the following Wiki article on the subject. I would also recommend that you read through the citations within the article:
Many of you are probably rolling your eyes right now. "What the heck does Marijuana have to do with health care?"
Well, despite the fact that our government doesn't acknowledge Marijuana as a medicine it is, in fact, human kinds earliest medicine. And despite all of the government deceit the American People have felt so strongly about this that we now have 13 states where "the people" have voted to make sure the sick had at least some access to Medical Marijuana. I made a live video in 2008 which gives a brief introduction to Marijuana's origins in human culture:
In terms of medicine Marijuana has been shown to have application as a analgesic, a palliative and has also been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of many diseases including: glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, wasting away syndrome, cancer and cerebral palsy. For more information on this I would recommend reading through the following article and all included citations:
More recently Rick Simpson has been "illegally" treating many ailments with a concentrated tincture of Marijuana with what can only be described as "incredible results." You can watch the first part of the video series on this through the video below.
So the main purpose of legalizing Marijuana is to allow it to compete in the free market against against the pharmaceutical industry which has long been dead set against legalization for this very reason.
Unfortunately the moneyed drug reform organizations (NORML, DPA, MPP) have been attempting to usher in what I refer to as "Government Marijuana Dispensaries" under a "tax and regulate" model that most closely resemble the current model for hard liquor. In this model you will be able to purchase Marijuana from these GMD's at prices that will probably range from between $300 to $500 an ounce: the same price found on the "streets" in the black market economy. The corporate controlled media has aided this effort with such cable specials as "Marijuana Nation" and "Marijuana Inc."
Not only will this make the government your new Marijuana "Drug Dealer" but it will not allow the sick access to free medicine. You can read about how this is progressing by reading the following article by Marijuana phobic Rachel Ehrenfeld:
NIDA's solicitation for marijuana growth for research is nothing new. Marijuana studies have been conducted over decades, and thousands of them document the adverse effects of this controlled (illegal?--its not controlled yet) substance.
Yet, now, for the first time, the government is soliciting organizations that can grow marijuana on a "large scale," with the capability to "prepare marijuana cigarettes and related products ... distribute marijuana, marijuana cigarettes and cannabinoids, and other related products" not only for research, but also for "other government programs."
Since when is the U.S. government in the business of distributing marijuana cigarettes? Is this part of the health care programs the Obama administration is so keen to enforce?
So while I basically think Ehrenfeld is "clueless," when it comes to drug policy, she is spot on in seeing that this GMD system will definitely make the government our new Marijuana "drug dealer." And why would we ever want to allow the same scum bats, that have been busting us, for the last 71 years, to now become our new drug dealer: selling us medicine at a price that most of the sick will not be able to afford? What is far more troubling is that many "activists" are taking the bait in thinking that this is the only solution.
It is also worth mentioning the NORML has done very little to criticize the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) for the great "bait and switch." You see, up until Michigan became the 13th state to Legalize Marijuana, for Medical Use, all patients and caregivers were able to grow at least 12 plants in order to self cultivate their own medicine. But Kampia, of MPP, has been the sponsor of most of the medical initiatives passed by the American People since Proposition 215 was passed in 1996. But there pending initiative in Nevada will prohibit self cultivation unless the patient lives more than 25 miles from a dispensary. Obviously no one will be able to self cultivate once enough GMD's are in place.
It is my hope that none of these organizations -- NORML, MPP or DPA -- receive any more donations once this becomes more widely known.
But there is a far better solution that will not only provide free medicine to the sick and poor. It will also destroy the drug cartels and put an end to the police busting in your doors in the middle of the night to make sure you aren't growing any Marijuana in your home. It is also worth considering that many medical growers are now in jail for growing more than their "12 plant" allotment. The better solution is the MERP Model that essentially treats Marijuana in the same way we treat the home production of beer and wine, which is neither "taxed or regulated."
You can watch some of the videos I have produced on the MERP Model below:
You can also read what I have written about the MERP Model at the link below:
The Obama Health Care plan will only promulgate the present status quo and will continue to enrich the "Medical Insurance Complex" ( Health insurance, Pharmaceutical interests etc.) at the expense of the American People. You will still be unable to afford health insurance if Obama sends your job abroad or allows one of the 1.5 million Legal Immigrants, that Obama continues to let in each year, to take it from you. And the dirtiest secret of all is that Obama is working with the global elite to push older American workers to the curb and displace them with far younger Legal and Illegal Immigrants. Provisions in the current health care bill, to do nothing to assess citizenship, shows that both Obama and Congress have no problem with pushing you out of your job and your access to health insurance. Fortunately, the angry citizenry, at these town hall meetings indicate that the American People are beginning to wake from their slumber. And it could not happen faster should we want to stop this globalist agenda in its tracks.
Legalizing Marijuana, under the MERP Model, will assure that the poor have access to Marijuana for free if they choose to self cultivate. It will also provide competition against the bloated Pharmaceutical Industry which has been a major contributor to "anti-Marijuana" organizations such as DARE and Partnership for a New America.
My proposals for Health Care and Marijuana Re-Legalization are both planks of a larger agenda known as the "New Agenda for America."
NEW AGENDA FOR AMERICA: Preliminary Planks (1) Universal Health Care for All American Citizens (2) A 20-year moratorium on all immigration into the United States (3) Legal Marijuana for all Adults and Medical Patients (4) An immediate reversal to the Offshoring and Inshoring of American Jobs (5) A strict enforcement on issues of Separation of Church and State (6) An immediate move from so-called Free Trade Agreements to Bilateral Trade agreements (7) A major R&D project to bring energy independence to the United States and the World through recycling, reuse, ending hyper-consumerism and investing in the development of sustainable energy sources (e.g., solar, photovoltaic, wind, geothermal) (8) No further ownership of US Assets (businesses, homes, ports, stock exchanges) by foreign governments or individuals! (9) Replace the Federal Reserve with a People's Reserve which allows public oversight (10) Absolute support for Net Neutrality
You can learn more about this agenda at the following link:
Finally I am seriously considering a "write in" candidacy to defeat Obama in 2012. Please send me an email if you would like to assist in this effort. I am 55 years old, have been married for over 33 years and fully support your right to grow all of the Marijuana you wish to grow. You can help start this process by posting the following graphic on your website, Facebook page, MySpace page etc.
Please send the link to activists throughout the planet. The translation bar should allow this to be read in any language. The 5-Point Strategy for Marijuana Re-Legalization should be easy to implement in any country throughout the planet. I encourage all groups celebrating the Global Marijuana March to make the immediate implementation of the MERP Model a primary focus of the event.
Call President Obama and your Representatives and demand:
(1) Immediate clemency for Marc Emery and
(2) Immediate implementation of the MERP Model through an Emergency
Session of Congress, similar to what was used to pass the TARP Bailout
