FOREIGN LANGUAGE ENTITLEMENT IN THE 2009 HOUSE HEALTH CARE BILL

· For healthcare, the bill pushes a taxpayer-funded entitlement to foreign language translation, essentially seeking to enshrine infamous Executive Order 13166 into federal statute.

· An entitlement – the mandate – to have the taxpayers pay for proper translation of complex medical jargon into any and every language would create a huge financial burden.

· A translation mandate would create massive legal liability that taxpayers would have to fund.

· The mandate would insert the government between you and your doctor yet one more time.

· For liberals, this bill solves their problem of repeated court rejections of their claim that foreign language translation is mandated by the 1964 Civil Rights law “on the basis of national origin.â€

No, no and furthermore NO! The majority of the people that end up in the emergency rooms around this country cannot pay a penny toward their medical bills. Now why do we need to provide another service at taxpayer expense, especially when translators are often having no knowledge of medical things?

We must NOT allow Obama to put this horrible Universal health care bill into effect.

Holy Crap!!!
