As always… in the end the Blue Dogs caved to Team Obama pressure. The House is now moving something through… just to meet President Obama’s deadline, at least partially, without reading the bill or addressing the bulk of the problems. Copy, paste and send the letter below to you Congress Person “Now” and to as many others who are pro this horrible legislation “ASAP”!!! (Contact Info Below). And remember the people who voted for this bill, who didn’t read the bill, and who swing back and forth just to please “the powers that be” and vote them out in 2010 and 2012. Stand-up

Should you choose to the read the whole bill here it is online: full report My understanding is that there is a grassroots movement of people who are keeping track of which Congress people (and Senators) have read the bill and any other version will and will take that as well as their voting record into account in the 2010 and 2012 elections.
Most of the people I know feel that this entire bill and all the others that are being considered and massaged in both Houses should be scraped and if not then defeated.
We have the greatest health care in the world. 91% of all Americans and legal residents (or legal aliens) have health insurance or are covered by Medicare, Medicaid or Veterans Benefits. 85% of all Americans and ‘legal residents” are happy with their health care. The uninsured are primarily illegal aliens, people who qualify for programs but have chosen not to sign up (young people and wealthy people). If you subtract those from the 50 million uninsured, the number the Dems and Team Obama keep throwing around, the uninsured number about 27 million and many are temporarily uninsured because of job losses under the present economy. All these people could be covered for about $27 to $48 Billion Dollars instead of 1 to 1.6 Trillion, without rationing, without giving up our freedoms, without giving up our choice and probably bettering our healthcare instead of diminishing it with increasing costs!
The government’s job is to regulate not run or pay for healthcare beyond what they do now… and that needs to be cleaned up!!
These bills and nationalization of healthcare is a power grab!
What needs to be done is:
· Junk everyone of the present bills – all 5
· Overhaul Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran’s Health Benefits
1. Tort Reform
2. Investigate and clean-up fraud in all 3 programs
3. Stop the duplication of tests
4. Focus on Prevention
5. Allow and cover alternative medicine and holistic programs and supplements
· Better regulation of insurance companies
1. Control Price Gauging
2. Allow Insurance Companies to Sell Insurance across State lines
3. Create Co-ops for Small Businesses to increase their buying power and control prices
4. All small businesses to pool
5. Do away with exclusions for pre-existing conditions
6. Regulate insurance fraud
7. Portable insurance – allowing you to take your insurance from job to job
8. Consortiums and co-ops for the self-employed and agricultural workers to increase their buying power
· Better Regulation of Big Pharma and the AMA
1. Initiate same cost structure now agreed to by Obama Team and Big Pharma
· Extend coverage under a subsidiary of the overhauled Medicare and Medicaid to the truly indigent and temporarily to the people who have lost their jobs due to the economy.
· Read the Bills – People understand that Congress-people and Senators cannot read every single bill, word for word… but bills that will change our lives and life in the United States, as we know it, like the Stimulus Bills, Cap and Tax, Food Safety and Healthcare Reform need to be read (word for word by everyone who votes)… and then vote “NO” on all the aforementioned!
· Work with Republicans in both houses as well as outside ideas. Just to name a few:
1. Senator John Kyl of Arizona
2. Governor Tim Pawlenty
3. Bill Kristal of the Daily Standard
4. Former Lt Governor and Patient Advocate Betsy McCaughy
5. And the list goes on…
· Absolutely:
1. “No” rationing
2. *** ”No” public option - (Government should regulate, but not run or pay for care) – immediate or as a later byproduct***
3. Absolutely “NO” single-payer program!!!!!!
4. “No” forced mandate for doctors to perform abortions
5. “No” eugenic programs or reduction in elder care and services… including ‘Duty to Die’ Lectures
6. “No” central electronic medical database – the possible negative uses of a central government managed database of everyone’s medical history are far too dangerous, especially with this administration! (What should happen is centralized databases with medical history and shared tests within systems like Kaiser, Blue Cross, etc… which is now not the case in many systems, that could be sent to another group in or all, but only with the patients permission).
7. “Yes” coverage for legal residents/aliens, “No” to coverage for illegal aliens
8. “No” affirmative action in the operating room! Medical students need to be accepted and train in accordance with ability, not affirmative action quotas.
9. “Yes” to inclusion of alternative and holistic options and supplements
10. “No” to anymore votes on any bills that have not been read
11. Every Congress person and Senator needs to read the ‘Let Freedom Ring Pledge’… agreeing to read the medical bills.
