Gov't Health Officials Will Be Allowed in Your Home


The assault on Liberty is in full force, and it has lead to a discovery unheard of; and proves the point that the Gov't will be controlling our health decisions from the privacy of our own homes.

It was discovered by Chuck Norris (who kicks ass by the way!) and it would allow Gov't health officials into your home to make health decisions for you and your family.

From Town Hall:

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."


Here is a link to the actual text of the bill. Scroll down and look for headline about home visitations.

This little provision would allow the Gov't to come into your home and "consult" you on health decisions. Where is the freedom in this? Where is the liberty? It has all gone down the drain because Congress won't read the bill!

This needs to be stopped before we drive further down the road of socialism into communism.

The one rebuttal to this claim is that it is a voluntary program, but does anyone really believe that? Chuck Norris points this out as well:

One government rebuttal is that this program would be "voluntary." Is that right? Does that imply that this agency would just sit back passively until some parent needing parenting skills said, "I don't think I'll call my parents, priest or friends or read a plethora of books, but I'll go down to the local government offices"? To the contrary, the bill points to specific targeted groups and problems, 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."


Lets say that states do participate in this type of conduct, and that the government would be granting money to the states to expand this program, doesn't that just prove the point that the government is controlling our lives? Maybe this will be a wake up call to Americans, and they will see that the decisions they make, are a guaranteed right under the Constitution.

R3VOLUTION!

  1. While I think this is a waste of my money to provide anything to others without my choosing, I wonder if this is a voluntary program or something they will require of everyone with young children. If it's voluntary, then it's not really as much of an encroachment on liberty as you claim (except that it wastes taxpayer dollars); if it's forced, then it is pure evil. Just want to be careful about what we put out on the internet. Any false or exaggerated claims or articles will only be detrimental to our cause and make people think all of your information is wrong.

  2. It might be voluntary, but does anyone really believe that? Who's to say that the government won't come knocking on your door one day because they have your medical record and know that you are either expecting, or have kids, and make themselves at home to educate you on how to be a good parent.

  3. It is a voluntary grant program that states will manage. States currently do this sort of thing with family and health services for which budgets have been drastically reduced and private companies have tried to fill the gaps over the past several years with limited success. This begs the question if the writer of this post and the writer of the Townhall post actually read the measure or if they are simply misleading the public to promote an uninformed ideology.

    Frank, I think your paranoia is unfounded based on a myth of distrust that has been cultivated by misleading interpretations and assertions about the content of the bill. While there is reasonable cause for alarm at the funding of the bill itself, the content is sound if you actually read the damn thing.

  4. Read part of the text

    "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."

    I don't believe states participate in this sort of practice.

  5. It doesn't matter if the program is voluntary or not. CPS has a history of forcing parents to comply with government's wishes when it comes to "caring" for their children by vaccinating them, sending them to public indoctrination camps (school), etc., and if uninformed parents don't go along, CPS takes them and puts them in foster care where 2/3 of them end up on psychotropic drugs, which means a windfall from Big Pharma.

    Let's face it people, the government thinks they own our children, and they use "benefits" as the carrot to dangle in front of us in the form of "free health care", public school programs, etc. The same tactics used by CPS will be used by the "health police".

  6. We already have overzealous CPS people prowling about with the idea that no one is capable and everyone needs their professional help. We do not need more. The "age-appropriate" nature show an inclination toward a long term involvement. This is unacceptable on various levels. It's intrusive into areas where the govt has no business and how large would this agency be to oversee so many children. Parents aren't always perfect, but the govt rarely gets these things right.

  7. If the gubbermint comes knocking at my door, for ANY reason, I will respond with "Rule .308" (unless I can't reach my M1A, in which case "Rule .45" will have to suffice.)

  8. I happen to believe that the liberals sincerely believe that they can dangle a carrot like this in front of parents with traditional values so they will accept the all-wise government as co-rearers of their children. They will counsel the children to accept homosexual values, have abortions and contraceptives at will, reject their parents' values and give up their sovereign rights as free Americans to become GLOBAL CITIZENS. The United Nations globalists would like children to belong to them. That parents do not have the right to raise their own children. Indoctrination is easier that way.
