I saw this video recently that points out a bunch of important points about the pending National Health Care Bill that is being tossed through the house and senate. The video is slightly dated because the bill has changed slightly but most of the points still seem relevant so you should check it out – very much worth the watch.
Even if having a national healthcare plan sounds good there appears to be some major flaws in the proposed initiatives in the current bills. Watch it and let me know what you think…
Thinking about this stuff makes me think of Codex Alimentarius and the fight to keep our freedom to choose the potency of nutritional supplements. At the Cancer Control Society convention I made these videos of Clinton Miller to help support that crusade.
Below these videos are some form letters that can be faxed to the senators listed to push them to make the right decision on this important issue. There’s even Spanish versions of these letters. A big thank you goes out to Clinton Miller for the education on this subject.

Here are the forms that you should fax in to the Senators:
The first goes to Senator Lincoln, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry. Click for English and Spanish versions.
The second goes to Senator Harkin, Chairman of the Committee on Health, Education, Committee on Agriculture, Appropriations subcommittee on HHS, and Senator Hatch, Committee on Health, Education, Committee on Aging, and Committee on the Judiciary. Click for English and Spanish versions.
I’ve been reading a very interesting book lately that documents the history of the Pure Food Law and how the Food and Drug Association (FDA) came to be. The book (quite scarce these days) is called “History of a Crime” by Harvey Wiley MD and I’ll write up a summary soon – but in the meantime this quote seems quite relevant:
(this is a quote from Senator King – UT taken from the congressional record Jan 27, 1927 vol. 68 no. 17 pg 1051)
“The pending bill reveals a parental care that will put to shame the Bolshevik or Soviet parentalism of Russia. We are soon to have a federal official in a bureau or agency now created- and if not we will create one – for every activity of the individual. He will tell us when to wash our faces, how to clean our teeth, how to comb our hair, what kind of clothes we should wear, and how we shall determine the temperature. For every conceivable and inconceivable mutation of life we shall have the beneficial and blessed care of some functionary of the government. But let the merry dance go on!
“We are on the highway to bureaucracy. Let bureaucracy be crowned king and make the appropriations as much as may be desired, and then regret that they have not demanded more. So some of these little appropriations, for instance, like the Bureau of Mines, or the Biological Bureau, or the Bureau of Soils soon become so powerful that they will want millions of dollars annually.”
Sound familiar?
Thanks for visiting,
