During a speech for the conservative-libertarian think-tank the Cato Institute, best selling author and political satirist P.J. O'Rourke quipped: "If you think healthcare is expensive now, just wait and see how expensive it is when it's free."

During an election season, healthcare becomes the carrot liberals use to entice American voters, according to several Washington observers.

"During election cycles, the liberal-left and their news media comrades scare the hell out of Americans, who are told they'll be left to die in the streets by an uncaring medical profession. In the topsy-turvy world of journalism, shylock lawyers are the good-guys and physicians and hospital administrators are the bad guys," said a hospital director -- currently being sued in New York -- who spoke to NewsWithViews.com on the condition of anonymity.

While most conservatives are fretting over the possibility of a Hillary Clinton or John Edwards healthcare system, few of them seem to be aware of the ultimate goal -- an international healthcare system run by the United Nations.

The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America summit in Canada released a plan that established UN law along with regulations by the World Trade Organization and World Health Organization as supreme over US law and set the stage for militarizing the management of continental health emergencies.

The "North American Plan for Avian & Pandemic Influenza" was finalized at the SPP summit last week in Montebello, Quebec.

With virtually no media attention, President Bush has shifted US policy on avian flu and pandemic influenza, placing the country under international guidelines not specifically determined by domestic agencies.

The policy shift was formalized on September 14, 2005, when Bush announced a new International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza at a meeting of the UN General Assembly, in New York.

According to Nathan Tabor, author of the best selling expose' The Beast on the East River: The UN Threat to America's Sovereignty and Security, like the liberal-leftists in the United States who desire a One World Government, the UN leadership sees itself as the vehicle to achieve that goal.

"The UN's goal really is world government. Most people in the [United States] believe the ultimate goals of the UN are benign. But this vision doesn't match the hard facts," warns Tabor.

The new International Partnership was designed to supersede an earlier November 2005 Homeland Security report that called for a U.S. national strategy that would be coordinated by the Departments of Homeland Security, Health and Agriculture, and US Department of Defense press release "NORTHCOM prepares for possible pendemic."

Under the International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza, President Bush agreed the US would work through the UN to develop a continental emergency response plan operating through authorities under the WTO, North American Free Trade Agreement and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.

There is no record that the Bush Administration presented the plan to Congress for approval. The US President appears to have entered into agreements with foreign nations and the United Nations in secret and without congressional oversight.

The SPP plan for avian and pandemic influenza announced at the Canadian summit two weeks ago embraces the international control principles Bush first announced to the UN in his 2005 International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza declaration.

"We are already very nearly at the point of no return," said Nathan Tabor, "and most Americans aren't even aware of the impending danger."
