Just Say No to Obama Care

Since the members of the US Congress and Barack Obama are not at all interested in accepting the health care program being propagandized across the country, why should any US citizens accept it?

There is a federal caveat that does not allow for discriminatory practices, yet this is exactly what the Beltway Bandits are whipping up.

And there is a better way to achieve affordable and good quality access to care without all the bureaucratic bungling.
Yesterday on "ABC-TV" (better known as the all Barrack channel) during the "network special on health care".... Obama was asked:

"Mr. President will you and your family give up your current health care program and join the new 'universal health care program' that the rest of us will be on?".....

(bet you already know the answer)...

There was a stoney silence as Obama ignored the question and chose not to answer it.... in addition, a number of Senators were asked the same question and their response was..."We will think about it." And they did.

It was announced today on the news that the "Kennedy health care bill" was written into the new health care reform initiative, ensuring that that Congress will be 100% exempt !

This should speak volumes to all of us. so, this great new health care plan that is good for you and me... is not good enough for Obama, his family or Congress...??

We (the american public) need to stop this proposed debacle asap!

This is totally wrong !!!!! If you agree please pass this on .... If not plan to suffer with the Obama health care plan ....for free.... while our self-serving politicians make sure that they take care of themselves and their families at our expense. (Various sources as compiled by Rense.com)

Insurance Issues

Remember that it's MEDICAL (SICKNESS) CARE INSURANCE that you really are trying to get and I have to wonder if you really know that this isn't how you get health.

I remind you to listen to my interview with Dr. Katherine Albrecht to learn some of the things you aren't hearing in the media, or from the Beltway pundits trying to make you believe they are working for you.

What's happening with Obama's group of planners and the same working for members of Congress is nothing much and nothing new. It's all still in the court of Big Pharma and Big Insurance, and don't think it will be too much different or substantial change.

This is the latest corporate rip off waiting to happen, ... not.

Wonder if anyone has proposed major medical only coverage and the same for the politicians who are supposedly elected to serve their constituents. This would save billions in a blink of an eye.

Obama too, with a swipe of his pen, could overhaul the welfare citizens hand out to elected politicians, as far as their health benefits go.

Here's where 'change' needs to start.
10 Things Your Congressperson Won't Say

5. “My health benefits are way better than yours . . .”

Congresspeople love tinkering with our health care. They virtually created the managed-care industry, for instance, with the Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973, which tilted the playing field in favor of HMOs, ultimately stripping many Americans of all other choices. Meanwhile, congresspeople enjoy more than a dozen options, including prized indemnity plans, which provide reimbursement without limiting the pool of medical care providers, that few workers in the public sector receive. On top of that, for an annual fee of $480, they can get just about all the medical attention they want at the Capitol Office of the Attending Physician, which has five doctors and a dozen assistants on call for routine checkups, tests, prescriptions, emergency care, and mental health services. Who’s making up the difference? Taxpayers, naturally, to the tune of $2.8 million in 2008.

What happens once a congressperson is out of office? She needn’t fret: Just five years into the job, she’s entitled to keep her regular health coverage until she’s ready for Medicare. And she doesn’t have to pay extra, as you do for Cobra, under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which she voted for in 1996.
