Thank you for this information on the health care reform.

There is so much information on the health care reform. Some true and some not true that they have done fact checks.

Health Reform Scam website: http://www.healthreformscam.com is a great website in finding the truth. There is even a link in this website exposing the lies, sad to say this needs to be done.

Is abortion included in the health care reform bill? Fact check says "yes" there will be taxpayer funded abortions in the new health care reform since all amendments to exclude abortions have been struck down as of October 12, 2009.

You can go into the National Right to Life website www.nrlactioncenter.com to keep up to date on the abortion mandate and
see where the amendments to explicitly exclude abortions have been voted down by most of the Democrats in both the House and the Senate. The Democrats are in the majority in both the House and the Senate at this time.
Most of the Republicans have voted pro-life in these amendments to exclude abortions in health care reform. Abortion is not health care.

The truth is the truth no matter what anyone says or thinks - it will always remain the truth.

Thank you for this useful website in helping to find the truth about the health care scams. I will forward it to others.

Another useful website for your readers is http://www.healthreformscam.com. In this website is a great petition and proposals for health care reform without doing a major government-run overhaul and take-over of health care.

What many may not know: all the health care reform bills being debated in the House and the Senate have an abortion mandate. Both the House and the Senate have Democratic majorities which I hope will change in 2010. The Democrats have voted down all amendments to explicitly exclude abortions in the health care reform. Most of the Republicans have voted to exclude abortions in the health care reforms. Abortion is not healthcare. It has been proven scientifically that human life begins at the moment of conception. Vote pro-life.

You can go to the National Right to Life Committee website to sign the petition again abortions in our health care reforms being debated. www.nrlactioncenter.com

What we are seeing in the health care reform being proposed at this time is not about health care but about power, greed, the expansion of abortions and control.

The government health will deprive me of my insurance form my company that I have had for over 30 years. Not only that the company will force me to eather another less coverage or force me into the Fed Health Plan. In cither case my retirement will either be decreased or taken away if I don't follow the company plan or be forced to go into Kennedy-Dobb Heatth Plan. In my opinion they are traitors to the American people. And Obama must be accountable for taking away the freedom of our country in which all the soldiers that fought for, including my father who fought in the trfeaches in France against the kaisor. All of the men in my family history has fought in wars protecting for freedom. How some will the American people wake up. It might already be to late.

Please tell me where I can get a breakdown on the 47 million people who don't have health care. How many are illegal aliens? How many are people eligible for Medicade or Schip plans who have not bothered to apply for them? How many are young adults who don't think they need health care insurance? How many are the really wealthy people who pay for their health care out of their own pockets?
I could be totally wrong about this but my understanding is that Obama's plan will cover illegals at the expense of the taxpayer. Why? These people are not American citizens, were not invited here and broke the law by coming here. Why should the American taxpayer have to pay for their health care? Better to pay for their bus ticket back to their country of origin. I am tired of the bleeding heart liberals who want to take care of the world at someone else's expense.
Is Obama going to give up his cushy health care plan which we the taxpayers fund and put himself, his wife and children into a government run plan - sure - when pigs fly! He keeps talking about sacrifice. What is he sacrificing? How much taxpayer money is spent on his nation wide tours to promote his socialist policies? The government can't even run the Senate cafeteria in the black. Imagine the chaos and rationing of health care that will result from his destruction of the best health care system in the world. Wake up people. You will soon be living under a dictatorship. Don't just sit there shaking your heads. Scream loudly to your congressmen and senators. Look alive! The Obama vulture is circling over your heads.

I wish the heritage foundation would provide more policy analysis of the different proposals being offered right now. This is a pretty bare bones website and not very helpful.

great work keep government out of the health care industry. there has to be a better way

"Patient's Choice Act" is Not out there, most American's don't know it exists...Obama is destroying you, you have got to find a way to let the American People know about it. Obama even has emails called "Obama For Health Care" passing out his propaganda, you have got to get the word out.

I read the summary, and this in the summary bothers me:

"Empowering the private sector – rather than Washington bureaucrats – to set standards on price and quality with the input from all major stakeholders in health care, as well as the general public."

It seems like hiring the foxes to watch the henhouse. We have the food and drug regulations, traffic and air safety regulations, etc. Nothing works without referees.

Washington bureaucrats is a scare phrase. My own health plan bureaucrats are really the scary ones

I would put the site of Rep. Paul Ryan's link to his bill on your e-mail. That way everytime you send an e-mail to anyone, conservative or liberal, it shows up and you never know! :)

Any thing the Government has put its hand to has historically been a behemoth laden with beauracrats sucking the life out of the taxpayer. I have not confidence in repairing by the governmen. It's an oxymoron. Privitize the medical care system and let the Doctors treat the patients without fear of reprisal by unjust, uncalled for suits decided by one sided courts that are loaded with liberals who are ready to garner votes and money at the Doctor's expense. True there are crooked doctors, just like there are crooked and power grabbing politicians. Let the individual decide his fate; not the Government.

I read the bill... I don't see where this changes anything. It's full of commands for outcomes what have no precident. You cannot "Order" outcomes. This bill does nothing to change the environment in which the medical system operates. Without Tort Reform, price clarity, and full price payments made directly by patients to their doctors, I don't see any likelyhood for greater responsibily by patients to seek lower costs, or doctors to reduce un-needed services. Isn't that really the solution we are trying to achieve?

Enlarging government is never the right answer to a crisis situation. It will cost the average working person much more in the long-run to have government sponsored healthcare. Just look at the situation with medicare and medicaid currently. I think the health care industry needs to run on a free market system like all other businesses should. As a veterinarian that is what I have to do. I need to charge a fair rate for quality services and stay in the black. And neither I nor an insurance company nor government dictates care, the client does.

Privatization seems a much better solution. Re-thinking what health care should be all about. One of the biggest threats to our nation is that we are the most over-fed under-nourished country in the world. Our nation's young people have many mental and physical maladies due to poor nutrition and how quick we are to prescribe a drug rather than fix the source of the issue. There needs to rewards and incentive for health and wellness. Plus so many times the newest most expensive drug is prescribed for a condition rather than an old tried and proven one that is now cheap.

Is there a another country whose health care system works well? If so, let us look at that model as all the ones that have been mentioned that have socialized medicine are failing. Just ask the people who live there.

I listened to the Heritage Foundation phone conference last night and I tried to ask a question, but you ended the conference just as I got to the beginning of the queue.

You mention State-Based Health care Exchanges. My question was "Why limit the bill to state-based healthcare exchanges?" You freely mentioned in your response to another listener that as a federal employee, you get to choose from over 128 healthcare options from all over the United States. Why should citizens be limited to pools that are related only to one state? The whole idea is that by increasing the size of the population that can select from the available options you can lower overall total costs.

I also had questions about the tax credits based financing. You mentioned some amount that was somewhere around $5,000. Some of the plans that are out there today cost more than $11,000. If a person or family don't have that kind of money, then how do you propose that they make up the differences? I understand that we should not expect a free ride when it comes to health care, but it is that kind of question that those who favor government run health care on going to ask.

I did not fully understand how you proposed to deal with people under the poverty level or low income families. Please elaborate that section again.

What can I do to help support the Ryan bill? Who can I call or write to? When I call my legislators the line is always busy. When I write to them I get a form letter in return that makes me wonder if they even bothered to read my letter. The capital hill number I have is busy and I don't even get a form letter back from the president. Is there some kind of petition I can sign or something?
