Face of Pro-Life #88 -Corinn Dahm and Susan Boyce on CT Health Care (30min) >>> Play
Ave Maria!
Susan Boyce outlines with Corinn Dahm the health care plan for Connecticut that is very similar to the enormously unpopular plan proposed by President Obama that failed on a federal level. The mass media is not talking about this but it is already passed by the state congress who even overrode a veto by Governor Rell. Listen as Susan itemizes the many problems of the plan including, Obesity Task Forces, more bureaucracy, more taxes, less privacy and freedom, automatic enrollment at least once a year and usually more often. And the plan does not do any of the needed improvements like law suit reform that would truly reduce medical costs. All of these extra costs are being proposed when the state budget in has record deficits.

Here is latest from Father Thomas Loya. It is a rather brazen, if not unusual example of what has become part of the “tradition” for many of the American propagators of that pungent and turbid concoction that is mislabeled Theology of the Body.
Content Warning.
With defenders like Father Thomas Loya, does Christopher West need critics?
