Hypocrisy or Lousy Lead???

The Politico has the headline....
GOP frosh: Where's my health care?
The  lead on the story says.... A conservative Maryland physician {Republican Andy Harris} elected to Congress on an anti-Obamacare platform surprised fellow freshmen at a Monday orientation session by demanding to know why his government-subsidized health care plan takes a month to kick in.

Well let's read down the article.....
“This is the only employer I’ve ever worked for where you don’t get coverage the first day you are employed,”
His Spokesperson Anna Nix said Harris, who is the father of five, wasn’t being hypocritical – he was just pointing out the inefficiency of government-run health care.

If Health Care is a right, I demand my rights NOW

I want my free health care today! ! !
It is a right, so give it to me.
No, I am not waiting 4 years for it.
It is my right.
The Dems told me it not a privilege.
Rights can not be be rationed.
You don't have to wait for rights.
And since it is a right, I can't be charged for it.
That would be like a poll tax. Equal access for all.
Rights are universal, endowed by our creator, so baby I want it now !

I want my homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic, osteopathy, herbalism, traditional Chinese medicine, Unani, Ayurveda, meditation,faith healing, new age healing, yoga, biofeedback, hypnosis, acupuncture,and aromatherapy.
I want free government candles.

I want my music therapy.
I DEMAND MY RIGHTS ! ! !

Damn the American People, Full Speed Ahead.

I don't see anything in that rule that deals with healthcare.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she can get the votes to pass health care reform — if the Senate first passes certain amendments through the budget reconciliation process. With reconciliation, Pelosi said, "it's a whole different ball game ... We'll be able to come up with something that sufficiently addresses the concerns of the House members."
The Senate Budget Committee Chairman said Wednesday he’s willing to use special rules to force changes to the healthcare legislation through the Senate with a simple majority vote.

Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) made clear his openness to applying budget reconciliation to healthcare, a position he opposed prior to this week’s special election in Massachusetts, is contingent on the content of the bill.

Even Canadian Politicians Come to U.S. for Healthcare ! ! !

Why scrap a system that works?
It might not work perfectly. It needs some tweaks, but it is the envy of the world....

Even in Canada, where they have "Free" HealthcareNewfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams is set to undergo heart surgery this week in the United States, according to CTV
Williams, 60, left the province earlier in the day and will have surgery later in the week.The premier’s office provided few details, beyond confirming that he would have heart surgery and saying that it was not necessarily a routine procedure.....

Dunderdale told NTV that Williams travelled to the U.S. for the surgery because it wasn't being offered to him in his home province.

FOUND: $6000 for every actual uninsured person , at no cost to the taxpayer


It was reported last week on "60 Minutes" that Medicare fraud costs the taxpayers $60 Billion.
Jeffrey Anderson writes in The Weekly Standard that the profits of the 10 largest insurance companies were about $8 Billion.
$60 Billion in Fraud vs $8 Billion in Profit.
Which one sounds better run?

Well if we eliminated the fraud first, if we saved the $60 Billion first, if we enforced the law first, that will give us over $1200 for every one of those alleged 47 million uninsured Americans.
It we use President Obama's 30 Million uninsured number, that gives us $2000 per uninsured.
If we eliminate those who voluntarily avoid insurance, and those that can get insurance through other choices like SCIP, Medicare, Medicaid, and "undocumented foreign workers" we are down to about 10 million people. That gives us $6000 to cover each of them.
Why don't we start there, before we trash the system we have now?
$6K goes a long way in insuring people.

OPT OUT of Obamacare.


Theyare reporting at Foxnews........

Under Arizona's Health Care Freedom Act, which was passed by the state legislature this week, a voting initiative will be placed on the 2010 ballot that, if passed, will allow the state to opt out of any federal health care plan. Five other states -- Indiana, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota and Wyoming -- are considering similar initiatives for their 2010 ballots.

"Our health care freedoms are very much at risk by health care reforms proposed in Washington, D.C.," said Arizona state Rep. Nancy Barto, the Republican legislator who sponsored the measure. "We needed to act as a state to protect our citizens and ensure that they will always be able to buy their own health care and not be forced into a plan they don't want."

46 Mil is such a bogus #

Just like Mitch Snyder's Homeless numbers back in the 80's
Over at Newsbusters, they say, Journalists have used the statistic of 46 million-47 million uninsured Americans, but as Seymour told Fox Business, this number was wildy inflated. “The Census Bureau comes up with this number and they said that the number of uninsured is really 45.6 million people. But that's total people, and that includes almost 10 million who are non-citizens,” Seymour clarified.
Seymour also broke the statistic further down, explaining that almost 9 million were young people who didn’t need of health insurance, and 9 million were those who make more than $75,000 and chose not to buy insurance.
Seymour spelled out to host Stuart Varney that contrary to what the media have told their viewers, the number of “chronically uninsured,” according to the liberal Kaiser Family Foundation, was only somewhere between 8 million and 13 million people.

In a different article
by the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association finds more than 14 million of the 41 million uninsured are eligible for Medicaid or the State Children’s Health Insurance Plan (SCHIP), but have not enrolled.
According to the Blue Cross study, 5.7 million are short-term insured, such as recent college graduates or people between jobs. The report also indicates 5.2 million uninsured are in three states with a high number of illegal immigrants: California, Texas, and New York.

There is no opinion except Obama's opinion. So it is written, so it is done.


ABC is refusing to air paid ads during its White House health care presentation, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, including a paid-for alternative viewpoint!

The development comes a day after the network denied a request by the Republican National Committee to feature a representative of the party's views during the Obama special.

Conservatives for Patients Rights requested the rates to buy a 60-second spot immediately preceding 'Prescription for America'.

Statement from Rick Scott, chairman of Conservatives for Patients Rights:

"It is unfortunate - and unusual - that ABC is refusing to accept paid advertising that would present an alternative viewpoint for the White House health care event. Health care is an issue that touches every American and all potential pieces of legislation have carried a pricetag in excess of $1 trillion of taxpayers' money. The American people deserve a healthy, robust debate on this issue and ABC's decision - as of now - to exclude even paid advertisements that present an alternative view does a disservice to the public. Our organization is more than willing to purchase ad time on ABC to present an alternative viewpoint and our hope is that ABC will reconsider having such viewpoints be part of this crucial debate for the American people. We were surprised to hear that paid advertisements would not be accepted when we inquired and we would certainly be open to purchasing time if ABC would reconsider."
