….

that all they’re doing is shuffling papers and pages around and presenting them as “new” with the expectation of us being too dumb to know that.

I agree with Jaded, all eyes should be on the House right now and the phone lines crashed if necessary. How many members can they bribe when they’re simultaneously bankrupting the country? With what can they bribe them?

… although HR 3950 began in the House, as required, does the amendment in the Senate eliminate that requirement, inasmuch as the taxes that were to be raised by HR 3950 are now no longer in the Senate Bill (and, any tax raises that are now in the Senate Bill were introduced in the Senate for the first time)?

And needs to be stopped now.

This is all about how the GOV can control our lives, it has nothing ti do with HC. If they wanted to reform HC, they would at least try and stop all the stupid lawsuits and make it so doctors do not need to do preventative medicine. Not to prevent sickness, to prevent any kind of lawsuit. But that would mean no more cash cows from the Trial Lawyers to the Democrats.

Where I live almost all OB/GYNs have left because of all the lawsuits and the cost of malpractice insurance.

Get GOV out of HC and let the free market lower costs. Let people decide if they want comprehensive or catastrophic insurance, not the one size fits all cap we have now. Let them buy across state lines also, why is it that it is $4 in TX and FL for the same $43 policy in MO????

We do not get car insurance to pay for oil changes, why does HC pay for every doctor visit and pill we buy, If people actually paid out of pocket for all this stuff, prices will go down because people will not pay the outrageous prices for this, but since someone else pays, no one even knows how much they are actually paying for the doctor visit.

if you weren’t paying attention. The sneaky SOB Reid is willing to bend any rules to get what he wants.

Reconciliation is a head feint. Right now, the Senate is irrelevant – everything of importance is happening in the House. All our pressure must be brought to bear on THEM.

This is obscene, it is grotesquely unconstitutional, and it violates all concept of good faith and trust between the governors and the governed. It is beyond appalling.

Every Democrat in the House who votes for this should be removed from office in November and horsewhipped in front of the Capitol and in front of 2 million patriots in person and many millions more on live TV. For starters.

but the final four paragraphs say it all.

After the House passes it, it will not be changed by this Congress or President.

All the talk about reconciliation is just that–talk.

That’s what every representative being pressured to fall on their sword should tell Pelosi and Obama.

is not to play.

For the sake of the country I hope voters can make enough noise so wavering D’s learn the futility of a yes vote on this health care monster.

And not just speculate ?….. I find this thoroughly confusing. Stupak said last night that he could not say how he will vote because he hasn’t seen the language in the bill. I’ve heard talk about CBO scoring a(nother) bill ? So what is going on ? Isn’t the Senate bill available with precise language ? What is he talking about that he ‘doesn’t know what the language will be’ ? Is he talking about the reconciliation hogwash that will never be attempted anyway ?

Don’t complain hear. Wear out the phone lines. 202-224/225-3121.
Reid 202-224-3542
Pelosi 202-225-0100

According to the Huffington Post:

“Huffington Post’s Sam Stein reports that Democratic leaders estimate they are short between 6-12 votes in the House, so “To convince these lawmakers, House leadership is preparing a whip operation described as “all hands on deck.” Pelosi and Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) will dispatch loyal lieutenants to help rub elbows and twist arms. Once the party settles on a final set of reconciliation changes, leaders in the labor community are set to launch a major campaign to help with the whipping, officials say.”

Obama will say that the Repubs will not go along with breaking the rules for reconciliation, so even though the bill is nto what he likes, he is stuck with it.

And then somehow he’ll blame it on Bush.

tis unfortunate that our country is in the hands of obamas band of deaf legislators.they might not hear the people,but god and the country can hear.vote them out in 2010 and 2012.stay mad and show them in november.

I will have the bill to Repeal OBAMA-CARE in my hand when they swear me in to the House of Representatives on January 3, 2011. I will go from the ceremony to the hopper to drop it in and I will not rest until the House votes to repeal it. It will be my signature issue. I do need your help–while my opponent is widely viewed as a corrupt Chicago machine politician, he has a huge war chest. I need your help to win this election–not just for Illinois, but for America!

Obama promised change in his campaign speeches. what the people forgot to ask is “What Kind of Change?”. Obama and the left have had the agenda to take over Health Care and start the process of taking over private industry and socializing the country. These misguide people chose to ignore the failures of all other socialist and communist countries. They believe that they can do it right this time. What they don’t get is that socialism is a pyramid scheme. no matter how much you try to control it eventually it will crash in on itself. The liberals are trying to scare everyone in beleiving that with out the government run health care system the cost of health care will continue to skyrocket. what they don’t tell you is that by change just a few rules with very littel cost to the tax payers health care cost can be brought under control. The lies about health care reform all come for the left-wing. I am afraid now that no matter what we do they will pas this bill as is and Obama will sign it. Then the Dem’s will find out just how honest Hussein Obama is. he has never kept a promise that he has made since he has been in public office. Why would he start mow? We got Change alright but i don’t think it was the change we wanted.

Agree 100% with SusanAnn & her article. Though I live in NJ and the ruling elites here don’t care one bit about my repeated phone calls, faxes & e-mails, I keep sending them (on the hope some staffer is at least keeping statistics). Their standard boiler plate responses have not made me quit yet.

In a freedom-loving nation that on every recent poll rejects this monstruosity by a 3 to 1 margin, we can’t allow these Progressive ideologues to blatantly impose their will on us.

Those of us in the relevant states:

Call Bart Stupak and his pro-life colleagues daily and thank them for staving off this immoral, oppressive legislation for as long as they have despite the enormous pressure they’re under

Call the Dem “undecideds” in your state and get them to decide for the good of the nation, to trash the 2,700-page monster and START OVER, gradually, in incremental steps, in a truly bi-partisan way and maybe, just maybe they’ll get to keep their seats in November!

It is a done deal. I told you this last year. Pelosi and Obama have convinced the Democrats that if they dont vote for it that it wiill be worse as the people expect a bill and will look on them as failures. There is also the fact that for the last twenty years that people have returned over 90% of the incumbents to office and son they think that Novemeber will not be any diffferent. This is what happens when there is twenty years of Apathy and people are gullible, mis-informed and un-informed, Our Culture has evolved to people getting their information from David Letterman and SNL, They cant separate fantasy from reality or Satire and comedy from the real deal because they dont have the basics to interpret it. They dont see that home prices increased 100% between 2000-2007 but wages only increased 2% and the population increase was flat or little and the bubble burst, They dont see that the tipping point for it was in 1999 under Clinton. They have been brainwashed to believe it was the Bush tax cuts, They alos believed the last 8 year myth even though the Demcrats were the majority party since January 2007. The transformation from well informed etc to dummy was completed in 2008 and the deal is done.

Isn’t it a fact that, this is not a power enumerated to the federal government , it actually belongs to the states, that they are co-opting, so why can’t the states pass laws nullifying it?
We know Congress has been stealing power from the states via the commerce clause for years. This furthers the need for term limits, and restoring to the states, their powers as the founders intended.
The chains of slavery, will lie heavier on the shoulders of our children, the way this is shaping up, educate them teach them our history and get active in every way you can, to stop these fascists.Our history expects no less from every generation!
