**************
The Health Care Reform Bill that narrowly passed the House of Representatives is now being considered by the Senate. The following are quoted excerpts from the House version that was sent to the Senate. Read them and it will be crystal clear why President Obama is insisting that the
Senate pass the bill before they leave on a Congressional vacation.

Although he admitted at a White House press conference yesterday on July 22, that he had not "read the bill", it is obvious his advisors are afraid that if the Senators go home before voting on it and the people find out what is really in it, that it will not pass.

These are direct excerpts from the House version ....

It might be better entitled "Soylent Green - 2009"

or

"The Death Sentence Bill for Grandparents, the infirm, and the Handicapped".

Incidentally, on the front page of the Tulsa World (July 23 issue) the President was quoted as saying in a press conference ......

"This isn't about me. I have great health insurance, and so does every member of Congress."

Well, I live in Texas and our Govenor has suggested that if this bill goes through that we refuse to participate by using our states rights.
It will be just like the company retirement programs. Most of the companies canceled the plans and told you to get a 401k. Some people aren’t savvy enough in the investment ways and lost their butts..
Health care will be the same. Buy your own healthcare or let the government supply it for you.
US marine points out at a town hall meeting that national health care is against the constitution. So if it make it past it will end up before the supreme court.
Wanda asking a true conservative to think is asking for an awful lot.
I hope none of you end up sick with no insurance or a "pre-existing" condition. You might change your mind about some things then.
Your insurance company does this now. My wife died three years ago, we had excellent insurance, because the insurance company would not pay to continue her cemotherapy and we could only affored a few treatments. what could be worse?
Pickleallen, don't get me wrong about all of this. I do believe we need to reform our system, but why can't these companies involved with our care do it between themselves? Why must the gov't get involved?

Then again, I remember my ex-husband having to let go of an employee, because he had cancer and was missing too much work. Also that his insurance was a burden for the company.

This type of treatment needs to stop, but under obama's system it may also be decided by the healthcare team when treatment will end.
They're coming to take us away has been redefined...
you need to read the all proposed bills and yes there are several. What you posted here is a list of things form drafts that have not been even considered. All the President wants to do is stop the abuses by the insurance companies and offer a government plan as an alternative that you could take or leave. Where do the think the money to fight this is comong from? YOUR insurance premiums thats where.
Government must get involved because the insurance companies will not do it otherwise.
Many of the things you have sited as parts of the bill, which doesn't even exist yet, are Republican talking points not actually written any where in any proposed bill
You will notice that there is no number after the H.R. meaning it is not even a bill yet just a proposal. All actual bills have a number.
Other side looking in. Someone has to do SOMETHING.Start here and adjust..
I have already given you the bill number it is H.R. 3200 and a website where you can read all of the original. Did you not see my post pickleallen?
