could all the up roar over health care just be smoke and mirrors to hide what really is going on?

Both are real & both are scary
Copenhagen isn’t about climate change at all....
And Health CareBill isn’t about Health either....
It's all about control....
US citizens under US government control,
and US government under Transnational World "Government" control.
The "scheme for the new institutional arrangement under the "treaty" that starts on page 18 contains the provision for a "government." The aim is to give a new as yet unnamed U.N. body the power to directly intervene in the financial, economic, tax and environmental affairs of all the nations that sign the Copenhagen treaty.
A glance at the draft treaty turns up numerous concerns, among them:
PP.14 Acknowledging that current atmospheric concentrations are principally the result of historical emissions of greenhouse gases, the most significant share of which has originated in developed countries.
PP.15 Further acknowledging that developed countries have a historical responsibility for their disproportionate contribution to the causes and consequences of climate change, reflecting their disproportionate historical use of a shared global carbon space since 1850 as well as their proposed continuing disproportionate use of the remaining global carbon space.
So developed countries (i.e. US) get to pay for their disproportionate historical use of a shared global carbon space since 1850 onward.
How about this clause on page 10:
[Developing country Parties] lacking sufficient capacity to respond to the challenges of climate change require access [to opportunities to obtain this capacity] [to resources] in a timely [sustained and cooperative] manner.]] [Measurable, reportable and verifiable financing, technology transfer and compensation must be provided by developed countries to address the full costs of adaptation in developing countries, supported by appropriate institutional arrangements under the Conference of the Parties.] It is also particularly important to provide adequate, predictable, stable, sufficient and timely funding for adaptation purposes particularly by developed countries. Developed country Parties shall support these developing countries in meeting the costs of adaptation.
Developed countries MUST PAY the full costs of adaptation to climate change in developing countries. Not the cost of minimizing climate; the cost of adaptation to it, whatever that means.
And my favorite on page 122:
[[Developed [and developing] countries] [Developed and developing country Parties] [All Parties] [shall] [should]:]
(a) Compensate for damage to the LDCs’ economy and also compensate for lost opportunities, resources, lives, land and dignity, as many will become environmental refugees;
(b) Africa, in the context of environmental justice, should be equitably compensated for environmental, social and economic losses arising from the implementation of response measures.
How much does it cost to compensate for lost dignity? I’m sure the UN has an amount in mind.
It is perhaps somewhat telling that a search shows that the document contains only 17 occurrences of the word "temperature", and 112 occurrences of the word "finance".

That is the hard part: figuring out which Democratic proposal is the biggest threat to America.
