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.

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

..... Remember .... these are just excerpts from the House version jammed through the House by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

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."

Hype and hystaria seem to be fueling much of this debate. Ontario Canada is bigger than Rhode Island, Actually many times larger. From large urban centers to remote in the extreme.

Why now? Probably because tomorrow more families, hopefully other than yours, will be on the road to medical bankruptcy.

I will agree that litigation excess against drug companies is very problomatic. Lawsuit rewards are to some extent driven by the huge costs of worst case scenarios. Those requiring a lifetime of very expensive medical intervention. Then on top of that courts will award lottery type amounts. Fair? Not for me to decide.

"They said on the news", I have to laugh at that, as any viewer of The Daily Show probably would.
NONE of the government workers or elected officials will be in this plan.


Just us peasants..
This health care plan will bankrupt the United States of America. We are turning into a socialist country very quickly. Remember Germany in the 1930's ?
Okay this is what you would not do. What would you do? Please tell us exactly what you would do about the crisis of health care in the U.S.
Well said.
Public servants have a different plan?
Bad idea, looks bad, smells bad.
If this public plan is so good, why don't the President and Congress want to be on it?
I could not agree more with you on that point
Thanks for posting this, Pam. I started a Health Care discussion in Jack's Politics group, but it didn't have any of these specifics. I have been against this nonsense from the beginning. Maybe reading the specifics will wake some people up.
"Page 22: The federal government will be empowered to audit the books of any corporation that self-insures."

They bloody well SHOULD be! I worked for a "Christian" MINISTRY that was self-insured. Their practice and policy was to ignore paying claims until the employee was having their ass summoned into Small Claims court.
Hey, what's some serf's credit rating, when there's an extra day or two's banking interest at stake?

As for the rest of what you posted, evidently you haven't heard about the new "ACORN corollary to Godwin's Laws which states "In any internet or Newsgroup discussion, the first mention of Hitler, Nazis, Orly Taitz or ACORN brings said discussion to an immediate end, and the person citing said subjects is pwned..."

Well, if you all weren't running through the streets screaming "SOYLENT GREEN IS *OLD* PEOPLE!!!" you'd be going on about poorly-forged Kenyan birth certificates.

We have a 1/2 black man for president. Deal with it.
As for page 22 I talked to a friend of mine tonight who is Director of Employee Services for a major hospital in Nashville. They self insure. She told me that they already do have to report every year and show that they are solvent and are paying claims in a timely manner. I would say she knows about such things.
Also all of this is merely conjesture since no health care bill has been passed by either House of Congress. Some bills have made it out of committee in the House but none have come to the floor.
Thank you Johnny for an excellent post
Jacquin, you can find my sources on the internet. Myself and GreatLady have both posted a website that has the whole proposed bill laid out (look at the 1st 2 pages). Again I will say that we do need reform, but not a rushed through one and why not reform medicare and medicaid? Why start over?

No one here has commented on what I said about what they did with Social Security. If gov't would keep their hands out of these accounts that are set up for a specific reason then accountability wouldn't be so difficult. The same goes with adding pork to bills. Why can't a bill stand alone? If it can't than we just don't need it to be part of the gov't's business and the private sector should encourage change.
BTW, I'm glad to see you libs finally made your way over here. LOL
