I do not belong to any party, but it seems to me that American Politics is being influenced by selfishness and corruption. Receiving Campaign Money just to run for an office is by far a form of LEGALIZED CORRUPTION. Is this how Democracy works? Politicians accepting bribes cloaked by/in CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS! And yet the American people hate the kind of Politics practiced by the Third World Countries. What's the distiction – one is richer that the others. Moreover, one is getting 6 figures while the other is getting countless zeros and commas.

All Americans, irregardless of orientation, race or whatever, must wake-up to the truth that we are governed by a bunch of hungry politicians, hungry for power, hungry for money, hungry for everything.

This is the reason why Health Care Reform is so much of a subject today. Left, right, center, liberals, conservatives, etc..they try to argue who is better “story-tellers” Are they really serious? Health Care Reform is for everybody and not to one particular race. Too much Government? What the heck is this? Don't you people enjoy the benefits of the Postal Service where you can send mails for just $0.42(?), obtain coverage from Medicare and MedicAid, attend State Universities and Colleges, get treatment from VA Hospitals, ride on Bus/Train Transits either on the road or subways, just to name a few. Who do you think run these entities? It is the United States Government, may it be Federal, State or local. Are you blind? There is no such thing as too much government. This group of words has been coined by Cons.

GOD, PLEASE HELP AMERICA; THE LAND OF THE FREE!!!!!!!

What number would be okay with The Heritage Foundation?

Or is the number just a ruse? Are you really only concerned with what your medical/corporate backers tell you to do?

No, there are no “death panels”. That's blarney.

“There is one other issue that does not want to forget, especially since I am on Medicare. Where is this $500 billion dollars coming from? I want to see line item by line item were these saving are going to come from and then hold President accountable.” If you hate public care, why the devil are you on Medicare? Get off at once and take your chances. No? I didn't think so… and yet you say,

“President Obama wants for a second term, which the New Health Insurance Reform Act of 2009 and the Cap and Trade both pass, he will be set for a second term. His primary goal is for the Congress to do away with term limits for the Presidency. So it will be “Obama for Life“. (oh, please…Where do you get this nonsense from?)

It is imperative to stop both these legislations to stop President Obama and his socialistic agenda from a second term. I am counting on you to work and fight hard to make sure this does not happen.”

Ignoring the insane conspiracy…(Though thanks, another crazed ad for why the GOP should never return to power)…You are on Medicare! What are you talking about “socialisitic agendas” for? You are aware that whatever tender concern they now show for the elderly, the goal of the GOP has been to dismantle Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security as “socialistic”, “coddling”, and granting too much power to government?

Here's some useful info on the other side of the debate…Surely some of you are rational conservative people who will consider other arguments if they are fact-based just as I am willing to look over the Heritage Foundation's. Though I am finding their facts a bit deficient.

“The Obama Administration's Options for Health Care Cost Control: Hope Versus Reality” by Theodore Marmor, Jonathan Oberlander, and Joseph White in Annals of Internal Medicine, April 7, 2009. A skeptic's guide to projected cost savings.

“Health Systems: Improving Performance.” This is the 2000 report by the World Health Organization It ranks the world's health care systems. France is no. 1. The U.S. is no. 37. http://www.who.int/whr/2000/en/whr00_en.pdf

“The Language of Healthcare 2009.” The Republican game plan for killing health reform, as outlined to House members in May by Dr. Frank Luntz. ( Luntz has a Ph.D. in political science.) Herr Doktor Luntz's prescription owes some debt to William Kristol's 1993 memo about how to kill Hillarycare. Kristol recently updated the latter, advising Weekly Standard readers: “Kill It, and Start Over.”

You do notice I have a couple of Republican sites included.

He is what I believe his strategy is:

Let the House bills, which all have the public options and let the Senate come up with a bill that most likely will not have the public option, but are marked up and passed in the House and the Senate. Then they go to conference and in that, conference the public option will be in legislation that is going before the House and Senate for a vote. He will they proceed as FDR did and use the stimulus package which still has over 600 billon dollars to pressure those democrat’s that are not in favor of the “New Health Insurance Reform Act to vote for it. He will go as far as not support them for re-election and in fact in the primary find opponents to run against them. This hard ball Chicago and FDR politics.

Here are some of things that will be in the final bill sent to President Obama:

He says you can keep your health insurance plans. What he is really saying is all health insurance plans are going to change, because by law preexisting conditions will be added, portability will be added and if you get sick the health insurance companies cannot drop you.
Therefore, that original health insurance plan good or bad is going to change. The cost of those plans in my estimation will rise which will move more people to the public options, which we will have warehouse prices and warehouse quality. He also says that you can keep your doctor. Who says the doctor wants to keep you?

He said that existing laws on abortion would remain, however amendments in the House to include language that explicitly states not to allow abortion through the public options the democrats voted down that an amendment. If in acted the Catholic Hospitals will be forced to perform abortion-on-demand or go out of business.

The President and the democrats have repeatedly stated that illegals, which are part of the 47 million uninsured will not be covered however, an amendment was put forth in the House to have to verify your social security number it was also voted down by the democrats.

There are other issued such as allowing health insurance companies to cross state lines, which would increase competition, tort reform it is estimated defensive medicine cost $210 billion dollars, and allow individuals to expense their health costs, which corporation are allowed to do.

There is one other issue that does not want to forget, especially since I am on Medicare. Where is this $500 billion dollars coming from? I want to see line item by line item were these saving are going to come from and then hold President accountable.

President Obama wants for a second term, which the New Health Insurance Reform Act of 2009 and the Cap and Trade both pass, he will be set for a second term. His primary goal is for the Congress to do away with term limits for the Presidency. So it will be “Obama for Life“.

It is imperative to stop both these legislations to stop President Obama and his socialistic agenda from a second term. I am counting on you to work and fight hard to make sure this does not happen.

I recommend a good read: The Innovator’s Prescription, A Disruptive Solution for Health Care by Clayton Christensen, Jerome Grossman, MD (past away) and Jason Hwang, MD

And, what about access? There are an inadequate number of primary care physicians today, many will quit if forced to become government employees. Imagine your doctors waiting room looking like the DMV – pick a number and have a seat………….
