2012 Election Cycle - Obama Care Issues

The possibility of the health care bill being repealed seems to get further and further from the realm of possibility as the days, weeks, and months go on.

What about chipping away at the funding needed to drive the bill? That is an approach that has received attention but does not cut out the most dangerous parts of the bill. I am talking about how prices for medical care skyrocketing, insurance premiums going higher, and killing access to doctors.

During the 2012 election cycle I am hoping this issue comes back to the front and we demand accountability from all those involved with Obama care. Repeal. Replace. Defund.

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.

GOP Amendments to the Health Care Bill

So Obama signed the Health Care Spending Bill this week and, if you listen to MSNBC, the new age of heaven has begun. The Republican Senators are presenting amendments to the bill to correct some of the glaring problems with the bill.

For example, Senator McCain is addressing the pork and back room deal making by presenting an amendment to cut out the special deals for Louisiana, the Cornhusker deal, and others. Senator Coburn is presenting an amendment to prohibit sex offenders from getting prescription Viagra on the taxpayers dime. He's also filed 8 other amendments that address concerns about growing bureaucracy, overreaching new powers in the Department of HHS, Waste Fraud and Abuse, Class 1 Medical Device taxes, and more.

It would be hard for any Democrat to defend striking down any of these amendments but I'm sure some will try.

If this bill makes it through to reconciliation, the true REPEAL process will begin.

I truly hoped that this bill would never make it this far, but it has.

Pass the word, get involved, leave your comments here even if you disagree.

Repeal this bill. Save our country's future.

So Much For Transparency

The final details about the health care reform bill are now being worked out - in private. No cameras. No reporters. No Republicans. No Transparency.

Somewhere in the back of my mind this morning came the old quote "Men loved the darkness because their deeds were evil".

Why, I wonder, are the final negotiations going on in private? Because Obama and the Dems do not want the country to see who is getting the deals for their votes. They are not hammering out the details. They are bribing fence riding Senators and Congressmen for their vote on the bill. Obama's Chicago mob is more interested is passing something than doing what is right for the country.

That's why CSpan's letter went unanswered. That's why Pelosi is quibbling with the truth about being/not being transparent. Sure, the cameras were rolling when they were discussing the nuts and bolts of how the bill will work. She and her gang from the Patch, Terror Town, Boys Town, or Lakeview just don't want the public to know just how corrupt the process is.

Votes for Dollars. That's what it is all about.

Votes for Dollars.

Get ready to push for the repeal the bill movement.

Tricare And The Health Care Bill - Veterans Alert!

Obama and the Dems have said all along that veterans and military retirees' Tricare would not be negatively impacted by the health care reform bill. At least, they've said that their care would not be hurt. But what will happen to the premiums we pay for the insurance? No mention of that.

I received a letter from the MOAA (Military Officers Association of America) warning me that under the current bill Tricare premiums would increase as much as two to three times!  Plus, doctors would be receiving another decrease in pay for their services.  Is this a hoax or is it buried in the lawyerspeak of that 2000 page blob called the health care reform bill?

Meanwhile, the bill keeps getting mutilated turning into a Frankenstein of a piece of legislation. It will cost too much, not do what it says, push the deficit higher, and ultimately raise everyone's taxes. Use the links on this page to contact your congressman and senator and urge them to say NO to this bill.

I hope the bill does not pass. But, if it does, Repeal the Health Care Bill.

Remember the Clinton Health Care Reform Bill?

It failed too. And thanks for the comment on the last post. The Clinton Health Care bill failed with a greater majority in congress (I think) and less popularity in the White House. Hopefully this bill will not make it out of the Senate. Then, a repeal of the health care reform bill would not be necessary.

Clinton's 1992 campaign did focus on universal health care, and he never delivered. Sound familiar yet?
