Health Care Reform
BETTER READ THIS !!!!!!
**************
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.

Pam,
This is being rammed through by the o along with congress who don't want to hear the "majority" of this nation. This isn't about healthcare, this is about an agenda. The agenda is ultimately to uthanize seniors (in a culturally acceptable manner) and to give government the power to implant a chip on everyone. Can't do that with individualized healthcare and you can't do that with the powerful medical groups in business today.
People don't want to hear this but honestly, nothing else makes sense.

Hi Bonez, good to see you here and interested. The bill is H.R. 3200 and can be read at the website given below. I tried to read it and I can see why a Senator would want a group of lawyers reading it. This is a difficult read. Please come back and comment as you feel led.

Hey Sarge, Glad to see you here also. I am in the middle of reading book 4 of 12 in the Left Behind Series written by Tim LaHaye. You talk about scary, this book series was written in 1995. There is so much in it that is relevant to what is happening all over the world today. My husband is also reading it and is an Atheist. He is so fasinated with it that he can't put it down. . I hope he reads the book of Revelation from the Bible when he is finished and compares it with the book series.
We will probably go back and read George Orwell's 1984 and a few other books about the future.
You do have an interesting point. But we must remember that God is in control and that we should pray for our leaders.

Returning to Canada following 15 yrs in the U.S.A. the biggest thing i left behind was my fear of illness or injury. I hope that one day all Americans will not fear the financial difficulties of health care. Is our system perfect? Probably not, but what system of anything is? Emergency room triage moves most needing immediate care right up the list. Best wishes to you all in dealing with this difficult issue.

I've heard recently that the phamaceutical companies are willing to come down on their prices under the new reform. What I don't understand is why they can't just do it without the gov't. unless of course the gov't is going to make some kind of a deal with them. Hmmmmmmm......makes one wonder doesn't it?

If this is the best they can come up with, we're screwed. Good luck avoiding situations that require health/medical care.
