Doctor seeking Illinois Senate seat blasts ObamaCare in viral video
Oct 2nd 2012, 20:58

She's a former nun, an Army major, a lawyer, a college professor and a physician. Now Dr. Barbara Bellar wants to be a state senator from Illinois, and she has one question about ObamaCare.

"What the blank could possibly go wrong?" Bellar asks, tongue in cheek, after delivering a one-sentence indictment of President Obama's health care law.

Bellar, a Republican candidate running for office in the state's 18th district, gave the extended one-liner while warming up the crowd at a recent event for GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Someone captured it on video, and now the doctor's diagnosis of the Affordable Care Act is an Internet sensation with more than 2 million views.

"So, let me get this straight. This is a long sentence," Bellar begins.

"Obamacare Summed Up in One Sentence"

From a video posted on you tube that shows Dr. Barbara Bellar speaking at a Women for Romney/Ryan rally last month:

"So let me get this straight. This is a long sentence.

We are going to be gifted with a healthcare plan that we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don't, which reportedly covers ten million more people without adding a single new doctor, but provides for sixteen thousand new IRS agents,written by a committee whose chairman doesn't understand it, passed by congress, that didn't read it, but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief,who didn't pay hos taxes, for which we will be taxed for four years before any benifits take effect, by a government which has bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that is broke.

So what the blank could possibly go wrong?" 

"We are going to be gifted with a health care plan that we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don't," Bellar continues, "signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke."

"I meant it as a light opener to a more serious issue. It did take on a life of its own."

- Dr. Barbara Bellar

Bellar then launched into a longer speech, but the friendly crowd at the event dubbed "Women for Romney/Ryan," was already in the palm of her hand..

"I had no idea I was being videotaped," Bellar told FoxNews.com. "I meant it as a light opener to a more serious issue. It did take on a life of its own."

But Bellar, who is running for office for the first time, has strong feelings about ObamaCare, which she considers an "erosion" of rights. She is seeking to succeed Edward Maloney, who is retiring from the district, which includes Chicago's 19th Ward, and has picked up the endorsement of the Chicago Tribune.

The title of senator would be just the latest entry on an interesting and lengthy resume. Bellar was a Benedictine nun for nearly five years, although she left before she completed her final vows. She is a major in the U.S. Army Reserves, runs a family medical practice, teaches part time at both Benedictine and DePaul universities and practices law. 

"I've been fortunate," Bellar said. "I'm just a life-long learner and have always wanted to help serve others."

Of the upcoming election, Bellar says that she plans to shake up the statehouse where President Obama got his start in politics.

"They will not know what hit them," she said.
