We have a great State Representative that went out of his way to outline some of the more interesting lines from the Healthcare Bill (HR 3200) that he discovered going through it line by line. I thought you might be interested in seeing them.

Folks, while going over some emails in the office, I came some interesting information on the Democrats’ big health care bill, H.R. 3200, America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. While this is federal legislation and not state, the topic is of enough significance that I thought many of you would be interested in reading it. Please find below page references and direct quotes from the proposed bill.



Page 16: States that if you have insurance at the time of the bill becoming law and change, you will be required to take a similar plan. If that is not available, you will be required to take the gov option!
Page 22: Mandates audits of all employers that self-insure!
Page 29: Admission: your health care will be rationed!
Page 30: A government committee will decide what treatments and benefits you get (and, unlike an insurer, there will be no appeals process)
Page 42: The "Health Choices Commissioner" will decide health benefits for you. You will have no choice. None.
Page 50: All non-US citizens, illegal or not, will be provided with free healthcare services.
Page 58: Every person will be issued a National ID Healthcard.

Page 102: Those eligible for Medicaid will be automatically enrolled: you have no choice in the matter.
Page 124: No company can sue the government for price-fixing. No "judicial review" is permitted against the government monopoly. Put simply, private insurers will be crushed.

Page 145: An employer MUST auto-enroll employees into the government-run public plan. No alternatives.

The N.C. budget appears to be in its final stages; will have more state and budget news for you in the next newsletter.

I especially like these don't you?

The only thing missing is the number 666 but they may add that later.:fie:
 
Let’s get a big old knife and cut through the Crap. This is no more than the Government deciding who gets heath care (the chosen few) and can let you did when you are of no use any more. Kind of like that old 70s move Logan’s Run. This is like a friend of mine in Canada was put on a waiting list for minor surgery for a hart cath. He had to wait 6 months. He die waiting for his turn. WAKE UP! This is very very scary!
 
Kimber it is funny you mentioned that movie. We were talking about it not to long ago. Some of it was filmed here in Fort Worth especially the water part near the end. It was done in the Water Gardens down town. sorry, I did not mean to get side tracked from the origional thread I just took a little walk down memory lane.
 
Weird karma kicking in

That's so weird when random things like that happen, like some kind of weird karma.
 
This bill is totally unconstitutional, were is the ACLU? Our reps and senators don't seem to care what the citizens think, they know better. Time to take our nation back. Votes do mean something so vote every chanse you get.
 
What the people think is of no concern to most of those in Washington. The People have lost all control, and Obama has successfully implemented Fascism.

Can't wait to see what he has in store next to us. :angry:
 
Forgive my cynical, pessimistic attitude but we have been mailing, calling, petitioning, screaming, arguing, voting, demonstrating in the streets...and what has changed? Exactly NOTHING! This current crew (Repubs and Dems alike) doesn't give a rat's ass for the American people or the Constitution.

Secession.
 
Facts? Let's name call instead.

Welllll, not exactly nothing. Our hard work and diligence did earn us labels like 'teabaggers' (from our own President), hysterical fanatics, right-wing militia and Aryan support groups (from our honorable R.I. senator), etc.


They are desperate to break this president. They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist. That is one powerful reason. It is not the only one."

There are no elections to my knowdedge before December 24. There's a reason Barry/Pelosi/Dingy Harry are pushing this through as fast as they possibly can.
 
You guys need to lighten up on our poor Senators and Representatives. We have the best government money can buy.:biggrin:
 
This is Government Control of your life. If you do not do what Obama wants he will cut off your helth care and steal your money from your bank account.

As a senior on medicare with several pre-conditions the reduction of Medicare funds will surely create financial hardships for me. Each year I have "X" number of dollars coming in (both SS and retirement). No cost of living increase this year. But you can bet that the Medicare payments out of my SS will go up, again. If they pass this monster bill this year, the sucking sound you will hear will be the gov't vaccuming out your wallet (assuming there's any $$ left.:sad:
 
Don't be too quick to say we have had no effect, that all of our protest are for naught. the Republicans have united against his socialist health care, and not all of the Democrats are on that bandwagon either. His approval ratings are dropping at a very high rate, more and more press services are questioning his ideology. Those that voted for him to name a few groups, Christians, Jews, and Blacks are even calling that decision into boubt... This is one fast ride to a breakup of the Democratic party, and a one term ride for BHO.... The bad news is the next guy in the hot seat has to fix all of this mess.....

Good points. I'm hoping and praying that 2010 cleans out the rat's nest. We'll see...the Dems have already started their new drumbeat - Fiscal Responsibility (!!!!- unbelievable!) - and we'll see how many voters buy right into this. I think our "rulers" have it all figured out: they simply flood the TV airwaves with whatever nonsense they dream up, and they know most of the drooling idiots will believe it if they hear it enough. It's obvious I don't have faith anymore in the American voter, if I ever did. I think if you don't have skin in the game (like paying taxes), then you shouldn't be able to vote, but that's another issue.

Hoping you're right.
 
+100% here I fully believe that paying taxes i.e. having a stake in the out come should be a prerequisite for being allowed to vote right along with US citizenship!!!
 
We MUST vote.

I like my idea of:

IF you don't have certified pay records showing you have worked and paid taxes for 3½ years of the last 4 years, then NO RIGHT TO VOTE.


That means only workers who have paid taxes get to vote. There would be options for retired people to vote that worked for years paying taxes, etc.

That means:

People on welfare
People who don't work
People in the ghettos who don't work
NO VOTE.

That would have GUARANTEED things like Obama getting voted in could NOT have happened. Half the people who voted him in probably have never worked a day of their life, living on the dole. Living on hard working taxpayers tax money.

AND:

Congressmen and Senators would conduct their own voting on bills with their constituents (the people who voted them into their office, for or against) with each bill. If their constituents vote yes or no, then that IS the way they MUST vote on the bill, no matter how they want the vote to go. That IS the way it IS supposed to be NOW.
NOT the way the SOBs are doing it now, not paying attention to us. They are supposed to vote the way the majority of us want them to vote.

They need to be voted out in 2010. Enough of the idiot Reid, Pelosi, and some others who are running a dictatorship right now on us. IF Obama and Biden buy the farm, then Pelosi is our next President. That is scary.
 
You guys need to lighten up on our poor Senators and Representatives. We have the best government money can buy.:biggrin:

The trouble is we the voters were trumped by deeper pockets:mad:. The thing that "gets me" is over 60% in the polls say no. But they keep on passing the d**n thing. At least most of them will be retired next year.
