Repeal the Health Care Bill - The Push Is On!

Now that the President has signed the bill into law the push for repealing the Health Care Bill is on!

What this means is that in the upcoming elections we must see to it that we vote for and promote Congressmen and Senators that will stand with those of us who want to control government spending, get Washington fat cats out of the medical decision making process, and more.

In order to successfully repeal the Health Care Bill we must get a groundswell of support, numbers in Washington DC, and have enough to overthrow any Presidential veto.

Yes we may get enough votes to repeal, but Obama would certainly veto it.

Senate Democrats Vote Down Amendments

In a marathon session in the Senate last night, the Democrats defeated the GOP's amendments to the fixer-upper bill for Health Care Reform. The only surviving amendment dealt with student loans. All that is left of the amendments is the Democrats' voting record to be used as cannon fodder for the mid term elections.

Left in the Health Care Bill are all the sweetheart deals for Louisiana, Tennessee, Hawaii, Montana, Connecticut and others. Even today Senator McCain warned that there are probably more problems with the bill that have yet to be uncovered.

You could probably hide an elephant in a 2,700 page bill. Sounds a little like cold war intelligence battles with the USSR. The strategy was to put out so much garbage information along with the correct info that the Russians would not be able to make sense of any of it. Sound familiar?

The solution? Repeal and rewrite.

Repeal the Health Care Bill. Call and write your reps in Congress.

What Would It Take To Repeal The Health Care Bill

Here's what Stephanie Condon at CBS new blogs said today, "Repealing the health care bill, however, would take more than winning back a few congressional seats. Just as the Republican minority in the Senate has stalled the current health care debate, a Democratic minority could do the same to any repeal measure unless Republicans were able to pull together at least a 60-vote majority. The GOP would also have to overcome the strong majority Democrats now have in the House. Even if they were to win both chambers back, President Obama could veto any repeal measure at least through 2012."

So it is essential that we defeat the health care bill before it can pass. The Republicans would have to win enough seats in the House and Senate to OVERRIDE a presidential veto. Or, persuade enough Democrats to help repeal a bill that is a disaster to the US economy, health care, and more. Or, hoping against hope, maybe enough Democrats will have a blinding flash of the obvious - this health care reform bill is a total disaster and vote it down.

That's the bottom line.

Repeal The Health Care Bill - What Will The Final Bill Look Like?

Most agree the final version of the bill will look more like the Senate Bill than the House version. But what main elements will be there? Public Option? 55 to 64 Medicare? Fed funding for abortion? Who knows.

But what we do know is that it will cost way more then anyone will ever predict. Congress has never come "under budget" on anything. Ever. Have they?

And what about Medicare cuts to balance the bottom line? How deep will those cuts go? Medicare Advantage? Will it be totally cut out?

Then there's the aspect of the spiraling national debt, congress raising the debt ceiling, questions of health care rationing, health care access, diminishing payments to doctors and the list goes on.

Now, what is hidden in the bill that no one is talking about?

Pork time for Congress. Not to mention what may be going on behind the closed doors, secret meetings with Obama, Dems, dollars for a vote, corruption, greed, and basic stupidity.

That's not change we can believe in.

Wake up America!
