		<description>Your proposition is waaaaayy too fair and makes waaaay too much sense and, more importantly, will not contribute to the socialization of America.

If you ran a practice as an S-Corp, could the care be deducted then?</description>

		<description>I made it uncomfortable for Tom Udall&#039;s (D-NM) staffer over the phone.   Udall is a co-sponsor, and is in a purple state.  

I read the staffer the riot act about fiscal responsibility.  I left off any mention of healthcare and all my other grievances.  My view is to keep it focused on the issue at hand.  

He&#039;s not up for re-election until 2014, but I told him to enjoy the view from the Minority offices, since the Dems are going to lose the Senate next year.</description>

		<description>The solution to poor government health care reimbursement is simple, 

Allow providers to deduct unreimbursed charity care from their income. 

   This simple targeted tax cut would provide a check and balance to who is and isn&#039;t covered by government health care and how much is the taxpayers are paying for that care.  

* Get politics out of health care -- Allowing tax deductibility for charity care would give providers some modest incentive to offer charity care and you&#039;ll get a lot of clinics that currently provide little to no Medicaid care to step up to provide high quality care, free from the limits of government red tape. 

*When a grocery store donates food to a food bank, it&#039;s tax deductible for the store.  When Microsoft donates software to schools, it tax deductible for Microsoft.  How come the same tax deductiblity doesn&#039;t apply to providers of charity care?  

* Tax deductible charity care would be self limiting and subject to less fraud because there&#039;s a break even point where additional tax deductions would not benefit a clinic/provider.
 
* Tax deductibility of unreimbursed charity care would provide a needed check and balance to poor reimbursement rates and excessive red tape that runs rampant in Medicaid, SCHIP, Medicare care and more   

* Clinics everywhere could develop long term stable systems to provide charity care on a sliding scale that makes sense to their community and situation. 

* Tax deductible charity care offers about the same cost/benefit as many Medicaid payments, but without Medicaid&#039;s limitations on quality care. 

* Also, because such care would be related to provider charity, not political handouts, it&#039;s highly likely that the folks receiving charity care would be much more appreciative of the care than they currently are under Medicaid rules.

Doctors, not politicians, provide health care!</description>

		<description>Stabenow and Levin from the Great State of Michigan just recvd. the following:

This is a total affront to our sensibilities.  How can you spend another $257 billion off budget in the name of Health Care and not add to the deficit?  You don&#039;t have $257 billion available to spend so where are you going to get it this time?  Stop the madness now!  Vote NO on SB1776 and tell that pig in a poke Harry Reid to stuff himself.

Will post their response when it arrives.</description>

		<description>During Rush Holt&#039;s town hall meeting in August, he said on multiple ocassions that if the healthcare bill in the house that he supported didn&#039;t pass, the medicare reimbursement rate doctors currently get would be cut.   If it did pass, that cut would not happen.   So....  Democrats have threatened doctors with lower payments if their plan doesn&#039;t pass.   In other words...  You doctors better get behind this and push, or we&#039;re going to cut your medicare reimbursement rate even lower than it already is.</description>

		<description>They claim that the majority of America wants socialist medicine.  They claim that the republicans are standing in their way.  It takes 41 votes to make a filibuster successful.  Why can&#039;t they just admit that it is the democrats that are standing in the way of a democrat bill?  Or just use reconciliation and prepare for the consequences?  If the majority of America wants nazi health care, there shouldn&#039;t be any consequences at the polls.</description>
