Right now, Democrats in the United States House of Representatives are meeting and trying to push through Nancy Pelosi's government "health care" bill, HR 3962.
The latest terrible fact to come out is that families that don't comply with Pelosi's plan will be subject to huge fines or jail time.
Please pick up the phone. Because, unless you and millions of Americans call right now to oppose HR 3962, this very bad bill could be approved Saturday or Sunday.
PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION
Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard day or night at 202-224-3121 to provide your zip code to be connected to your representative's office.
Click this link to call your U.S. Representative by name. It is strategic for you to call BOTH the Capitol office AND the local district office of your representative.
Tell your United States Representative's office staff, "Please tell the Representative to vote NO on the government healthcare takeover. Vote NO on abortion funding, whether it is directly or indirectly funded by taxpayers. Vote NO on HR 3962."
WHAT IS WRONG WITH HR 3962
Tom Winter, editor of Human Events, describes the threat of Obama/Reid/PelosiCare:
"…this monstrous, evil plan must be stopped. If Obamacare passes...
MEDICARE WILL BE SLASHED. To pay for his government healthcare behemoth, Obama admits he'll have to cut $500 billion from Medicare. How can he chop that much without reducing medical services to seniors? He can't. It's fiscally impossible. Medicare services will have to be cut.
YOU'LL LOSE YOUR CURRENT COVERAGE. Truth is, Obama's plan is designed to eliminate employer coverage. He's acknowledged it, but only to fellow liberals. When the "public option" forces private insurers out of the market, odds are you'll be shoved into a government plan.
YOU'LL LOSE YOUR CURRENT DOCTOR. Once the government plan is reality and you've been forced to participate, it's a virtual certainty you'll lose your doctor. In fact, the more skilled your physician is, the more likely he or she will shun working for the government. Obamacare won't take your doctor away. Obamacare will drive your doctor away.
ILLEGALS WILL GET FREE HEALTHCARE. Despite what Obama says, none of the Democratic bills prohibits coverage for illegal aliens and all Republican attempts to exclude such coverage for illegals have been rejected.
OBAMACARE WILL BANKRUPT AMERICA. Universal healthcare will add at least $1 trillion to the already mind-boggling deficit. Obama claims "eliminating waste and fraud" will save money -- a laughable assertion, since when has the government ever decreased its spending? In the end, Obama will slash Medicare and raise taxes, pleading he had no choice.
OBAMACARE WILL PAY FOR ABORTIONS. Obama calls this a "lie." But all Democratic plans call for payments for "reproductive services," a well-known euphemism for abortion. Plus, Obama's minions in Congress have rebuffed all amendments prohibiting coverage for abortions. You be the judge. What are the Democrats trying to hide?
PRO-ABORTION, PRO-DEATH
A few dozen pro-life Democrats in Congress are on the edge about taxpayer dollars paying for abortions and pro-death consultations, which, no matter what you've heard, are still in HR 3962.
HR 3962 contains two clear end-of-life provisions -- including one that requires insurance companies to distribute advance directives and other planning tools to all who are insured on the new government-run exchange. These advance directives, by default, deny patients food and water if they become unconscious, just like California's government-drafted living wills. (This is why you need the protection of the pro-life "Will to Live.")
The other provision allows Medicare reimbursement for optional end-of-life planning consultation, which claims to ban "assisted suicide," but does not prohibit "palliative sedation," which leads death by dehydration.
ABORTION FUNDING IN HR 3862
HR 3962 explicitly allows federal funding of abortion through the public option, and permit federal subsidies to go to private insurance plans that cover abortion.
According to House Republican Leader John Boehner, the government-run health care bill being considered in Congress would include "a monthly abortion premium ... [to] be charged of all enrollees in the government-run plan."
Boehner states, "Section 213 [of the bill] describes the process in which the Health Benefits Commissioner is to assess the monthly premiums that will be used to pay for elective abortions under the government-run plan. The Commissioner must charge at a minimum 1$ per enrollee per month."
THE ELLSWORTH DECEPTION
Unfortunately, a fake pro-life amendment by Democrat Brad Ellsworth of Indiana is being pushed to try to round up votes from "pro-life Democrats."
The National Life to Life Committee is exposing the abortion funding in HR 3962:

As LifeNews.com reports:
However, pro-life groups across the country say Ellsworth's proposal is a sham. Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee, says House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Obama administration are desperately trying to undercut Congressman Bart Stupak (D-Michigan) and other pro-lifers who want to pass an amendment barring abortion funding.
"How do they do that? By coming up with some phony baloney language and finding some pro-life guy who's willing to play along and be the front man," explains Johnson. "And unfortunately Mr. Ellsworth has been drawn into that role."
Johnson says Ellsworth's amendment not only keeps abortion in the bill, but it also adds insult to injury.
"He actually writes…he would write into the bill a provision where the federal Secretary of Health would have to pay a private contractor to make the payments to the abortionists. Now, that's a money laundering scheme," he contends. "It's still the federal government, the federal government taking federal government money and paying the abortionists for abortion on demand, and somehow he thinks that they can claim it's not the federal government if the federal official has to hire somebody to deliver the payment."
Johnson is urging Americans who do not want the government creating a large new abortion program to call Congressman Ellsworth and let him know they are not fooled by his "political hoax." http://www.ellsworth.house.gov/
They set up kings without my consent;
they choose princes without my approval.
With their silver and gold
they make idols for themselves
to their own destruction.
