Yikes - this is scary stuff! What can "we" do to stop this? Everybody already elected a president who said he would do this - now what? I don't believe the voters knew what they were getting us into. I live close to the Canadian border, and we have Canadians coming to NY all the time to get health care, because they can't get quality (or any) health care there. A baby was just sent here to Buffalo for treatment that he couldn't get there. If this bill passes, another baby like that with the same disease would die for lack of treatment.Carol--- On Tue, 7/21/09, Susan Siegel <ssiegel5 wrote:

It is rather scary stuff.

Hope this may give some guidelines as to getting involved in defeating

the Obamacare:

Time to Defeat ObamaCare!

 

 

Time to Defeat ObamaCare!Health Care Bill Outlaws Private Insurance,

Benefits Illegal Immigrants

Take Action!

Increase Grassroots Pressure on Congress to Defeat ObamaCare!July 20,

2009

Your representatives need to hear from you this week as the liberal

Majority continues to plow ahead with their rush to " reform "

health care on Capitol Hill! The legislation is hitting a few road blocks

along the way, including written opposition from

 

40 Blue Dog (conservative) House Democrats and

 

22 additional Democrats.

Last week, the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Health,

Education, Labor, and Pension (HELP) Committee voted on and approved

their respective health care bills - that is, President Obama's proposed

legislation for a government takeover of the American health care

system.

Although the Senate bill, sponsored by Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) has not

yet been released for the public to read, the House bill, misleadingly

named the America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009

(

H.R. 3200) is a whopping 1,018 pages long which will cost an

estimated $1.5 trillion and is projected to force 114 million of

Americans to lose their current health insurance, despite repeated

promises by President Obama to the contrary.

The proposed health care bills, in their current form, aim to accomplish

the following:

 

Outlaw private individual health coverage. On page 16 of H.R.

3200, in section 102 entitled Protecting the Choice to Keep Current

Coverage, the bill clearly states, " the individual health

insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enrcoll any individual

in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after

the first day " of the year the bill becomes law. As verified by the

House Ways and Means Committee last week, this provision means that this

health care bill itself will kill the market for private individual

coverage by not allowing any new policies to be written after the public

option becomes law.

Mandate taxpayer funding of abortion on a massive scale. H.R.

3200 authorizes a new appointed committee to recommend minimum benefits

that all heath insurers would be required to offer in their plans. Unless

the abortion procedure is explicitly excluded, abortions will be covered

by national health care, forcing American taxpayers to pay for hundreds

of thousands of abortions each year.

 

19 pro-life Democrats sent a letter to Nancy Pelosi stating

their opposition to abortion being covered by a public plan: " We

cannot support any health-care-reform proposal unless it explicitly

excludes abortion from the scope of any government-defined or subsidized

health-insurance plan. "

Expand Medicaid and exempt illegal aliens from mandates.

Approximately

 

15-22 percent of the 46 million residents in the U.S. without

health coverage are illegal aliens. The current Senate bill expands

Medicaid and loosens tax credit eligibility requirements, which will be a

magnet for illegal enrollment and fraud. Even worse, illegal aliens are

exempted from the mandate to buy health insurance, which means that

lawful Americans will have to pay a fine for not purchasing insurance,

but illegals will be off the hook. Thus, they have no reason to buy their

own coverage or stop receiving taxpayer-funded health services at

clinics, emergency rooms, etc.

Punish success and destroy jobs. The House bill imposes a 5.4

percent surtax on incomes over $280,000, which is a crushing blow to

small businesses, which create most jobs. In addition, Democrats have

proposed more than $800 billion in new tax hikes, and according to

Obama's own economic advisors, the business tax hikes alone will destroy

up to

 

4.7 million (more) jobs. Back in 1989,

 

Larry Summers stated, " There is no sense in which

benefits will become 'free' just because the government mandates that

employers offer them to workers...so [they] are likely to create

unemployment. "

Create health care bureaucracy to ration care. The Democrats'

health care bill amounts to an even more massive expansion of federal

power over Americans' lives. The bill creates multiple new bureaucracies

to be filled with unelected, President Obama-appointed staff. The

Comparative Effectiveness Research Commission and the

 

Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research are the most

worrisome of the new boards, which are designed to oversee the rationing

of care and have the authority to intervene and prohibit a patient from

receiving a particular health service on the basis that it is not

" cost effective. " This means that the government is more likely

to deny an elderly person a service thana younger person, because the

younger person will benefit a greater number of years from the medical

treatment than the elderly person.

The Obama Administration and the liberal Congress' health care plan

can be defeated with your help! Even Obama himself is reportedly not

convinced that this health care bill will inevitably pass Congress.

According to

 

The Washington Post, Obama and his advisors have been

routinely reminding lawmakers in closed-door meetings that the defeat of

President Clinton's health care overhaul (also known as Hillary Care)

spelled electoral disaster for Democrats back in 1994. The future of

President Obama's entire agenda depends on the outcome of this health

care bill which can and must be defeated!

 

 

Take Action!

Please begin calling your representative and Senators' offices to

urge them to oppose government-run health care! High priority targets for

House action are the

 

51 Blue Dog Democrats and high priority targets for Senate action are

" red state " and " swing state " Democrats (listed

below), with whom the success or failure of the health care bill

rests.
