President Obama's claim that his health care proposal would not use federal funds for elective abortions was blasted by the National Right to Life Committee (NRTLC) as "absurd on its face, a political hoax."

In his speech to a joint session of Congress, Obama said he wanted to clear up a misunderstanding.  "Under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions," he said.

NRTLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson was livid.

"Barack Obama needs to learn that the mere repetition of a verbal formula does not change reality.  The reality is that the Obama-backed House bill would explicitly authorize the federal government insurance plan to pay for elective abortions and would explicitly authorize subsidies for private abortion insurance-all with federal dollars," Johnson said.

An analysis of HR 3200 demonstrates that the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding of Medicaid abortions except to save the life of the mother or from pregnancies resulting from rape or incest, would not apply to the health care system established by Obamacare.

Another analysis of HR 3200 shows that federal funds would be used to subsidize abortions in private health care plans.

Obama's continued insistence that his proposal does not fund elective abortions runs contrary to easily established facts and raises serious questions about him.

Likewise, Obama was adamant that his legislation does not "set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens."  But he did not deny that the bill clearly encourages euthanasia for citizens.  In fact, the legislation is saturated with multiple provisions that require rationing of health care for everyone, especially the elderly.

Furthermore, Section 1233 of the Obamacare Bill, HR 3200, requires all seniors to be given at least every five years a compulsory "explanation by the practitioner of the continuum of end-of-life services," with the clear implication that the lives of the elderly should be ended, not prolonged through medical treatment.

The London Daily Mail reported on a recent situation in England that may very well be a prelude to medical practices in the U.S. if Obamacare is enacted into law.

"Doctors left a premature baby to die because he was born two days too early.  Sarah Capewell begged them to save her tiny son, who was born just 21 weeks and five days into her pregnancy," the newspaper reported. 

National guidelines state that babies born before 22 weeks should not be given medical treatment. 

A spokesman for the hospital said, "Like other acute hospitals, we follow national guidance from the British Association of Perinatal Medicine regarding premature births."

A hallmark of the Obama legislation is the rationing of medical care in order to reduce costs.
