Obamacare dictates how you raise your children

National Socialism

With Obamacare being rushed through Congress and forced down the throat of American people, is it any wonder why these town hall meetings are turning into health care revolts? Another hidden agenda I discovered in the health care bill is that the government wants to come into our homes and limit parental rights over child care and development. Ah, yes, more evidence of Obama’s socialism. Because the government does everything else so well, do you want them telling parents how to raise their children and what to teach their children?

In this article by Chuck Norris, he says:

Dirty secret No. 1 in Obamacare is about the government’s coming into homes and usurping parental rights over child care and development.

It’s outlined in sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (Page 838), under the heading “home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children.” The programs (provided via grants to states) would educate parents on child behavior and parenting skills.

The bill says that the government agents, “well-trained and competent staff,” would “provide parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains … modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices,” and “skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development.”

So, right there, the Obama administration and the democrats are telling you people out there that you do not have the sense to raise your own children. And since when are government agents “well-trained and competent staff”? Anyone who’s had any dealings with the federal government know that, while there ARE knowledgeable people on the payroll, the vast majority you deal with are not well-trained and not very competent.

Plus, on Page 840, the state “shall identify and prioritize serving communities that are in high need of such services, especially communities with a high proportion of low-income families.” So, according to this, low-income families know even less about parenting than middle- and upper-class families. Don’t get mad at me, your president said it in his health care monstrosity.

Also, whose values and principles do you think these agents will instill in your children? That’s right, the government’s. Sounds a lot like Hitler’s Germany, doesn’t it? Or even the failed USSR. They know that controlling the parenting and education, limiting options such as home schooling or private schools, will control the future of this country. That is a socialist’s dream.

Bottom line: Is all this what you want or expect in a universal health care bill being rushed through Congress? Do you want government agents coming into your home and telling you how to parent your children? When did government health care turn into government child care?

Government needs less of a role in running our children’s lives and more of a role in supporting parents’ decisions for their children. Children belong to their parents, not the government. And the parents ought to have the right — and government support — to parent them without the fed’s mandates, education or intervention in our homes.
