Coming Soon To A Home Near You: Canadian Family Raided At Gunpoint By 'Health Canada'

Earlier this year, a Canadian doctor and his family were held at gunpoint for 11 hours while Health Canada agents and the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) searched his home.  Papers, business files and his inventory OF VITAMINS were seized.  His international business associates were questioned.  His 'Access of Information' (FOIA) requests have been denied and even his lawyer cannot obtain records and files relating to the search.

Dr. Eldon Dahl details his story in this letter to the Canadian legislature, presently considering even broader powers for the Health ministry.

No Canadian family or home based business should have to endure what my family endured.  On January 15, 2009, my wife Agnes answered the front door of our home and 4 RCMP officers, one with his gun drawn, burst through, the brute force even damaged our locking device.

I will never forget the terrifying look on the face of my wife; I have never seen her so afraid.  To describe the panic that I felt is near impossible; I saw as my wife’s hands were raised over her head in surrender because an armed RCMP officer had a gun pointed to her chest yelling; “That is not cool, that is not cool.”  I thought she was going to be killed.  That day’s events have permanently scarred my memory and I live with the terror, thinking that it will happen again.  I heard my wife say, “Please put the gun away!  We are no harm to any of you. We are humanitarians, not criminals.”

The RCMP were clearing the way for Health Canada agents; they entered our home looking for vitamins, including Folic Acid and L-Carnitine, both ultra safe supplements.  We sat restricted in our own home for 11 hours while Health Canada agents searched our entire residence, even violating the privacy of our bedroom.  Our home safe was opened with RCMP supervision and our personal contents were photographed by Kim Selling (a Health Canada agent).

This, my friends, is what you get when the government is in charge of your 'health care'. Now is the time to protest, call, write, fax, e-mail.... anything you can to STOP the destruction of the American health care system.

Unless, of course, you really WANT to explain to a federal officer why you have that bottle of vitamins.....

Henry & Rush On Health Care Reform

Henry Payne

This summarizes it all rather well:

Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it and whose members will be exempt from it, signed by a president who is a closet smoker, funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, forced on people who don't want it and financed by a country that is nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?

Massachusetts & Oregon: Government-Run Health Care Run Amok

The Independence Institute has produced these two short, funny videos to explain some of the inherent problems with government-run health care systems. They didn't have far to look; we have shining examples of failure on both coasts.

Has Your Employer Joined Obamacare?

Here are the top 10 ways to tell if your employer has switched you to Obama's health care plan....

(10) Your annual breast exam is done at Hooters.

(9) Directions to your doctor's office include "Take a left when you enter the trailer park."

(8) The tongue depressors taste faintly of Fudgesicles.

(7) The only proctologist in the plan is "Gus" from Roto-Rooter.

(6) The only item listed under Preventive Care Coverage is "an apple a day..."

(5) Your primary care physician is wearing the pants you gave to Goodwill last month.

(4) "The patient is responsible for 200% of out-of-network charges," is not a typographical error.

(3) The only expense covered 100% is "embalming".

(2) Your Prozac comes in different colors with little M's on them.

AND THE NUMBER ONE SIGN YOU'VE JOINED THE OBAMA HEALTH CARE PLAN:

(1) You ask for Viagra and they give you a Popsicle stick and duct tape.

A Soldier Explains The Constitution

Do you remember when, in 2006, John Kerry insulted the intelligence of every member of our armed forces when he made this stupid comment?

To prove we might want more soldiers and fewer lawyers in Congress, watch as this young soldier delivers a lesson in Constitutional separation of powers to Claire McCaskill's town hall meeting on health care. Could someone explain the concept to John Kerry, please?

If the response from the audience in St. Louis is indicative of town hall meetings around the country, we should all take heart. The Obamanation of Obamacare isn't a done deal. We have a chance to stop it. Call, write or e-mail your Representatives and Senators. Click here for a map of House districts, or here for the Senate if you need contact information.

Reforma. The Obama-Pelosi Prescription

This one's a classic, Crumb Crunchers! It's a parody of all those cheesy, annoying drug ads blanketing the airwaves of America. 'Reforma. Recommended by more lobbyists....'

ObamaCare: Designed By Rube Goldberg?

Back around 1930, Rube Goldberg became famous for his illustrations of 'absurdly-connected machines'. A 'Rube Goldberg machine' is a 'deliberately over-engineered apparatus that performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion'.

This organizational chart of the House Democrat's Health Care Plan would be laughable if Goldberg had drawn it. Sadly, it results from analysis of the actual legislation our 'representatives' want to foist on us.

Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), the House Republican Leader, released a statement today which included the organizational outline:

'The chart ... identifies at least 31 new federal programs, agencies, commissions and mandates that accompany the unprecedented government takeover of health care in America.'

Unless we act quickly, this is where we are headed, America. Be very afraid!
