Respect for the Presidents Office

I have been taught all my life growing up to respect My country and the offices
within.Well Mr President I respect the the office that you hold, not you.

Sunday you and your congress trampled on us, American citizens, who put you
and all of the others in the capital there. This is an act of treason. You have betrayed us and
our trust by signing this bill that the congress and you bought.

We have and have had men and women dying to protect our freedoms, and
then right from the head office comes the biggest betrayal. We lose the right
to choose who we are going to pay if we want health insurance, and then have to have
the same even if we do not want it.

Who died and made you GOD.

Trade Water for Vote

Well we have been hearing about the the bribes going on to get
votes for Obamas health care plan. The democrats have to bribe their
own to get votes, this is getting pretty bad.

Now they are promising water to
California for the votes from congressman Dennis Cordoza,
and Jim Costa. Sure, they changed their votes from
no to yes, they got the balls of a mouse.

I would damn sure get the water before the vote!!!!

Forcing Healthcare Through

According to Nancy Pelosi the Healthcare bill is going to get passed, no matter
if we want it or not.
The latest polls show that we do not want the type of health care
that is run by the government.

We as Americans do want some sort of healthcare reform just not
government run, but lowering costs on our health insurance we already have.

It is going to be very expensive and then no benefits
for 4 or5 years. I guess this called the lay away healthcare plan.

Healthcare Bill/Bah humbug

The Senate fudged up 60 votes with a couple of independants going in
on the deal,wonder what they got in return.

Now they have to merge the bill that is in congress and the one that
is in the senate together for signing.

How are WE going to Pay for this monstrosity?

I am personally working very short hours due to lack of work.
20 people employed where I work,18 of the 20 laid off.

I am thinking there might be a lot of work coming up due to the people
like me, or who are drawing unemployment, won't be able to pay for this bill or the
fine for not accepting this insurance.
They will not have enough jail space for all of us.
So we will have to build more jails.

Senators must not care if we eat or have a roof over our head,but by
George we are going to have healthcare no matter who suffers.

I do not want you or anyone else to pay for my flipping insurance,
and I want to have all the choices I have always had.
Someone or something telling me what I can or can not have, just
pushes me in the opposite direction.

I am gonna quit now , cause I am through being nice.

HEALTHCARE RAISES TAXES

By DICK MORRIS

The Obama healthcare initiative will be the biggest unfunded federal mandate on the states in history. It will force dozens of states, particularly in the South, to abandon their low-tax ways and to move toward dramatically higher rates of taxation. It may even force Florida and Texas to impose an income tax!
In the Senate version of the bill, states must expand their Medicaid eligibility to cover everyone with an income that is 133 percent of the poverty level.
The House bill brings it up to 150 percent. But a host of states have kept their state taxes low precisely by so limiting eligibility for Medicaid that it essentially is only for seniors needing long-term care and not for poor younger people who require acute care.
For example, Texas covers only those who make 27 percent of the poverty level or less. Florida covers only 55 percent. Pennsylvania covers only 36 percent. Arkansas covers only 17 percent. North Dakota covers only 62 percent. Nebraska covers only 58 percent. Louisiana covers only 26 percent. Indiana covers only 26 percent.
The revenue required to bring these states up to the 133 percent level in the Senate bill or the 150 percent level in the House would be enormous. Even California only covers up to 106 percent of the poverty level.
All states except for Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin (plus the District of Columbia) will have to raise their eligibility for Medicaid under the Senate healthcare bill. And they will have to pay for part of the cost. Under the House bill, with a higher Medicaid eligibility standard, Massachusetts and Vermont would also have to pay more.
The Medicaid expansion provisions of the Senate bill are complex. In the first year of the program (2013), states must enroll anyone who earns less than 133 percent of the poverty level in their programs. For a family of four, the national average poverty level in 2009 is $22,000 a year. So any family that size that makes less than $29,000 would be eligible for Medicaid.
For the first three years of the program (2013-2015) the federal government would pay for all of the costs of the Medicaid expansion. But starting in the fourth year of operation -- 2016 -- states would be obliged to pay 10 percent of the extra cost.
While Obama has often spoken about how he won't raise taxes on the middle class, his healthcare legislation will require the governors to do so.
Particularly in those states with Democratic governors, it is easy to see how the backlash against these new taxes could fundamentally alter state politics.
The following table is a rough calculation of the cost each state will have to bear once it has to pick up 10 percent of the cost. These calculations are based on guidelines laid down for me by the Republican staff of the Senate Finance Committee. There has been no official data yet generated on how much the Senate or House provisions will cost the taxpayers in each state.
STATE SPENDING INCREASES IN MEDICAID REQUIRED BY SENATE HEALTH BILL
Alaska $39MMont. $29M
Ariz. $217M
Neb. $81M
Ark. $402MNev. $54M
Calif. $1,428M

These estimates were obtained by calculating the increase in Medicaid spending in each state to bring it up to the 133 percent level specified in the Senate bill. Then I applied the percentage of Medicaid spending in each state on acute care (mainly for the poor) as opposed to long-term care (mainly for the elderly). Finally, I took 10 percent of the increased state share of spending and listed it in the table above.

Sorriest Congress Ever

The House passes the " Health Bill" now we as United States Citizens are totally buried in
debt along with our children, grand children and their grand children,and farther down the line.

This sorry congress is not doing anything for the country, they are actually going against
the wishes of the people, and helping the president to destroy all that has been good in this country.

Health care is 1/7 of our economy, and it may not be the best that it could be, but it is better
than any other in the world. Now the government is going to run our health care, and they could'nt even get cash for clunkers right.

We have major problems in the US, and Health Care is not even close to being at the
top.
10.2% unemployment, 120 banks have closed so far this year, and the Sorriest congress
worries about keeping the president happy.

This is the sorriest congress to ever sit on capitol hill.

We are still United States of America

Our flag, Red, White and Blue stands for our way of life, and has been earned. Freedom, our right to Free speech and the right bear arms has been bought and paid for by many brave men and women. This is not debateable, yet we have people in our top levels of government trying to take away what has been earned.

Taxes are paid by you and me to keep us out of harms way, and yet we tear down our defenses
and put the money that we pay, into programs that have nothing to do with our security.

There is not a time and place everything!

We are not socialists, and that is just one of the symptoms of getting closer to marxism.

Single payer anything from the government is going to take away your right to choose.
This is one of the rights that has been paid for with human lives.

The more I watch the news and see what is being left out and just plain not telling us,
is just bit perturbing.

Out of time this morning, but,
we are still the people who live in freedom, hopefully it stays that way.
