<\/p>\nRUSH: Rita in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you here. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s an honor and a privilege to speak with you. I have been a longtime listener, and I\u2019m really disturbed by this whole administration. My question to you today is, referring back to the health care bill: On pages 58 and 59 of the health care bill it specifically states that the government will have access to our monies — and that includes, I do believe, our IRA accounts, our 401(k)s, our savings, our checkings. This is in the health care bill. Why is this not being addressed by anyone?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: And I specifically remember talking about that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Okay. I must have missed that day. (giggles)<\/p>\n
RUSH: Basically, I think what that section is, if it\u2019s the one I recall: If you don\u2019t pay, they\u2019ve got the right to go get your money.<\/p>\n
CALLER: So they\u2019re not gonna go in and just take our money at their will like they did in the Ukraine and Russia and China?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah. I mean, that\u2019s the provision they\u2019ve allowed themselves.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n
RUSH: “As the Secretary shall determine…”<\/p>\n
CALLER: Right. Oh, boy. And it also specifically states — this is Pelosi\u2019s little thing — I think once you reach the age of 73, you are no longer a candidate for cancer treatment if you have cancer. So I mean this is — this is —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now — now, that\u2019s —<\/p>\n
CALLER: — (garbled) health care, I just can\u2019t fathom —<\/p>\n
RUSH: That\u2019s —<\/p>\n
CALLER: — not being able to go to physician I want to see and being denied care. The Republicans that are running, I don\u2019t think anybody\u2019s even addressing this health care bill.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Rita? Rita? Rita, hang on.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I know they brought the lawsuit, but —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Hang on a second. It\u2019s very tough. Folks, I must tell you again: We cannot have a conversation with anybody on a cell phone because they cannot hear me. It\u2019s not that they are rude, but it is that I sound really ticked off trying to make the phone system work. Now, Rita, it sounds like you\u2019re just learning this, and I share your frustration. The Tea Party people basically came into existence because of this. There were a number of people during the debate saying that the Democrats were trying to keep all of this hidden. This was when Pelosi was saying, “We have to pass the bill to find out what\u2019s in it.” There were people who would read the bill. There were people who were reading it, reporting on it.<\/p>\n

Obama even told a woman this on an ABC town hall from the White House. She wanted to know… I still can\u2019t forget this. This was a televised town hall on ABC, and an American citizen showed up and actually asked the president of the United States if he would allow her 102-year-old mother to get a pacemaker. She wanted to know if the government would be taking into account a person\u2019s spirit and will to live. And Obama said, no, we really can\u2019t take things into account like spirit and will to live. At some point (I\u2019m paraphrasing) we\u2019re just gonna have to say, “Here, take a pill,” meaning a pain pill. Zone out and try to spend your remaining days in space.<\/p>\n
I remember watching that show and I thought, “This is not the country I grew up in where a citizen asks the leader of the regime if her mother will get treated by a doctor,” and yet that woman knew what was in the health care bill. Rita, all kinds of people knew what was in this. My point is the Republicans couldn\u2019t stop it. Elections have consequences. They didn\u2019t have the votes to stop it. Now, when Scott Brown… A little history, remind people: When Scott Brown finally won the Senate seat in Massachusetts vacated by the death of Senator Kennedy, that took away the 60-seat supermajority that the Democrats had. That\u2019s when they started talking passing it through budget reconciliation.<\/p>\n
Remember, they did this over the Christmas holidays anyway. They were gonna get this passed. They were gonna “deem” it to be passed, if you recall, without even taking a vote on it. The Republicans didn\u2019t have the votes to stop it. You\u2019re asking me, “Didn\u2019t anybody say anything?” All kinds of people were saying things. The only hope rested in convincing just two Democrats in the Senate to vote against it, but there was no way that was gonna happen. In the House, we had numbers that were equivalent to what we had in the seventies and eighties — 135, 150 — and we couldn\u2019t stop anything if we were totally unified. I\u2019m glad you called to provide an opportunity to revisit recent history. This is just a year ago, year and a half ago that all this happened. You\u2019re just now finding what\u2019s in it, and you\u2019re wondering why nobody stopped it. Nobody could! Nobody could because a bunch of people made a stupid mistake and voted for an image in 2008 rather than knowing what they were doing.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: I went back here during the break. That call from Rita. She\u2019s reading from page 58, 59 of the health care bill about the government\u2019s access to our bank accounts, and she wanted to know why nobody\u2019s talking about it — and I told her everybody did. May I quote from myself, August 4th of 2009? It\u2019s just a little over two years ago. Quote: “The federal government will have direct, real-time access to all individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer to pay. Yes, my friends, the federal government will have direct, real-time access to all individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer, meaning from your account to them. They will be able to debit your account for health expenses. That\u2019s on page 59, go get the bill. I\u2019m summarizing here for you. “<\/p>\n
This resulted, by the way, in the White House attacking Drudge for reporting certain aspects that were in the health care bill — and in the process, they call attention to what they didn\u2019t want anybody to see. So, again, Rita, I\u2019m really glad you called. It\u2019s a golden opportunity to remind people — and, of course, the tune-in factor here is nuts. There are people listening now that weren\u2019t there who are just probably learning this and hearing about it for the first time, because, since it did pass, there hasn\u2019t been nearly as much focus on it, on those kind of details. The focus has been on all the “waivers.” What are we up to, over 2500 waivers the regime has granted now to various companies, large and small, who would be out of business if they had to play by Obamacare law right now?<\/p>\n
Can\u2019t have that before the election! If this thing isn\u2019t repealed or if it isn\u2019t defunded, after 2012, 2013, 2014, when it really starts to hit, people have no idea. What has happened to this country up to this point is nothing compared to what\u2019s in store for us with just this one piece of legislation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
