Posts about Obama Health Care Failure as of July 29, 2009

  Nancy Pelosi’s House Democrats, along with a handful of Republicans-in-Name-Only , are holding secret closed-door meetings in a last ditch effort to ram ObamaCare down the throats of the American people before they leave town .      You read that right… before they leave town for their summer vacation .

Why Don’t Limbaugh and Hannity Support Bill to Audit the Fed? – fedupbook.com 07/29/2009 There is currently a bill to Audit the Federal Reserve before the House and Senate that has bipartisan support and makes sense for all the People of this country yet Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity (among others) never promote it on their shows.  Why is that?

Pete , the poll data is compelling. In yet another poll, Time ’s newest survey shows: “By significant margins, survey respondents said they believe the final health-reform legislation is likely to raise health-care costs in the long run (62%), make everything about health care more complicated (65%) and offer less freedom to choose doctors and coverage (56%).” And the latest poll shows Republican Bob McDonnell leading by double digits in the Virginia gubernatorial race. And as you note, politicians are watching — very closely .

During Monday’s AARP town hall meeting on health care reform, Barack Obama tried to allay the fears of senior citizens by insisting that he would not cut Medicare benefits as part of his reforms. “No one is talking” about cuts to Medicare benefits, Obama insisted:Well, no one is talking about it … except Barack Obama, apparently. Just a few weeks ago, Obama outlined cuts to Medicare that add up to over $300 billion in reductions.

By KleinheiderPosted on July 29, 2009 at 3:20 pm More than 200 protesters opposed to President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul have gathered outside a Kroger supermarket in Bristol, Va., awaiting the president’s arrival for a town hall meeting.Some held signs reading, “Obamacare is political malpractice” and “Keep your hands off my health care.”The Wednesday protest drew people from the tri-state region of Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina.permalink

Rep. Maxine Waters, an idiot almost without peer in Congress (and that’s really saying something), is making very thinly-veiled threats against Blue Dog and other moderate Democrats who have the temerity to listen to and act on behalf of their constituents by standing against Obamacare.

Once again, Barack Hussein Obama’s personal physician has spoken out against Obama’s faulty Universal health Care Reform. Dr. David Scheiner, 70, Chicago-based physician who treated Obama for more than 20 years, said Obama’s vision is bound to failure. “I look at his program and I can’t see how it’s going to work,” Scheiner told the Huffington [...]

GRASSROOTS VERSUS ASTROTURF: Tea Party Overwhelms Obamacare Advocates in Fort Collins. This kind of thing just keeps happening . . . .UPDATE: Protesting ObamaCare at Obama’s visit in Raleigh.

Rep. John Fleming (R-La.), a practicing physician who is serving his freshman term in the House, has introduced House Resolution 615 which would oblige any member of Congress voting in favor of a government run health care bill to leave their private insurance plan and join the Democrats’ “public option” catastrophe.

A US soldier demanded an apology from Senator Claire McCaskill at an Obamacare town hall in St. Louis, Missouri.

Some MoveOn & Pro-ObamaCare protesters grouped up in the parking lot of Fallons Flowers, Anti-ObamaCare Patriots took up the rest of the streets. Along each sidewalk and each corner, the message was clear… we don’t want larger government… we don’t want higher taxes… we don’t want government health care.

Political Cartoon by Michael Ramirez Well, the Democrats in Congress were all GIDDY when Al Franken became the 60th vote in the United States Senate. Now, what is the problem? A House fight among Democrats on overhauling the nation’s healthcare system has spread to the Senate, where centrists and liberals are clashing over the direction the legislation should take.

If we cannot keep the corruption out of Medicare, how can we keep the corruption out of the socialized medicine that Obama and the Dems want to ram down our throats.From Yahoo News/Associated Press:Dozens arrested in Medicare fraud busts across USFederal authorities arrested more than 30 suspects, including doctors, and were seeking others in a major Medicare fraud bust Wednesday in New York, Louisiana, Boston and Houston, targeting scams such as “arthritis kits” — expensive braces that many

I and many others have said Obama’s “public option” government run health care plan is nothing but a Trojan horse for Canadian style single payer health care. I’ve been called a conspiracy theorist, a nut, a fascist, a liar, and many other things even though I’ve provided stone cold proof . However, some Kool-Aid drinking drones need further proof, so I’ll just let Barney Frank take it from here… (hat tip Mark Levin ) Related Posts Audio: Glenn Beck Goes Ballistic On Caller Obama’s Own Doctor Thinks ObamaCare Reeks Video: U.S.

With all of the attention focused on Barack Obama’s agenda on health care this summer, another explosive issue has withered from a lack of attention. Despite the removal of the bill’s most controversial option, the Senate still has no plans to move EFCA, better known as Card Check, any time this year.

UPDATE: 2:08 pm CST–Blue Dog holdouts named Today, leader of the Blue Dog Coalition in the US House Representative Mike Ross (D-AR) announced a deal has been reached between his supposedly fiscal conservative comrades and the left-wing leadership of the party of Pelosi and Obama. Virtually no details of the deal were released, although Ross stated one condition calls for a floor vote on the final bill no earlier than September, after the August recess.  Today’s deal will likely result in the compromise bill moving out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee by week’s end.

Taxing ‘Cadillac Coverage’ Won’t Fund ObamaCare David Whelan and Rebecca Ruiz, 07.27.09, 12:45 PM EDT A look at the numbers behind the White House’s latest plan to pay for health care reform. Over the weekend, the administration continued to try to sell its sagging health reform plan, focusing this time on the financing aspect of it. The latest idea: taxing rich health benefits. Whether this works will depend entirely on exactly how rich is rich.

Opinion Healthcare “reform” continues to lead the news of the day as the president pushes his so-called “public ‘option’” onto the American people, doing whatever he can to launch the grandest social program in America’s history. But Obama’s beginning to meet quite a bit of resistance – something he’s obviously unaccustomed to. And so are members of Congress. According to some staffers in D.C., phone calls are pouring in 15-to-1 against the president’s plan. It’s no different here in S.C.

Several polls and news stories today are worth noting. The first, apropos Jen’s post , is the most recent National Public Radio (NPR) poll. The health-care numbers — 39 percent strongly oppose ObamaCare, while only 25 percent strongly support it — must be particularly alarming to the White House. Obama’s overall approval ratings, 53 percent, are surely a concern for them as well, given the downward trajectory Obama is on. And the generic congressional vote showing the GOP up one is certain to garner some attention.

Quote Yes, the government can do this more efficiently and cost effectively. It already does. Really? Like the Postal Service, Social Security, Medicare, the VA?? Those are all run so well I don’t know why we should question the take over of healthcare. How silly of us. But as you said – we[...

Here is an article about where the government plan will save money.  It also hits on a few other points as well. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/27/AR2009072701905.html?n...

Redstate:Ohio is crucial to America’s future. Ohioans put George W. Bush over the top in `04. And it was when he lost Ohio that John McCain’s hopes for a come-from-behind victory went up in smoke. No Republican has ever been elected President without winning the Buckeye State.So when Ohio talks, professional pols should listen. And Ohioans are speaking up most strongly against ObamaCare abortions. The latest poll shows more than two out of three Ohioans oppose taxpayer-funded abortions.

Your host Richard Morrison welcomes back returning guest co-hosts Michelle Minton and Jeremy Lott for Episode 53 of the LibertyWeek podcast. We start with the strings attached to the bailout, Boston’s fight over FiOS, and the dangerous side effects of Obamacare. We then move on to a massive New Jersey corruption scandal, a lemon of a subsidy program and some heavily-armed Olympic News.

I saw where the NC Medical Society is joining many other states in saying no to HR 3200.  They are in favor of some aspects, just not the bill in it's current form.

For weeks now Liberal Democrats here have carried the water for Obamacare and have perpetuated the lie that the “public option” is merely a harmless federal government program that will keep private insurance costs in line. What’s more, these same Liberal Democrat Obama/Pelosi water carriers have dismissed the accusation that this so-called public option is simply that – an option, or a “choice,” that people will have and is, in no way, geared towards drowning out private insurance and thus leaving people with no “choice” but health insurance provided by the federal government (i.e.

     It may seem a shame or insincere to have to be political and develop political strategies to get anything done in American politics. But when you plunge into the sea of politics you better be willing to swim. This does not mean that you can’t be sincere about the issues and their effects on the American people but it does mean that if your gonna swim with the sharks you’d be wise to put on your flippers instead of your running shoes. And that is what this article deals with.

July 29th, 2009 at 1.30pm / The Heritage FoundationPresident Barack Obama is visiting North Carolina and Virginia today looking to shift the debate away from the massive new spending and government control in his health care plan, and to the “Security You Get” under Obamacare. But if  “health insurance consumer protections” are what Obamacare is all about, then why is Congress fighting over massive expansion to Medicaid, the creation of a federal health board, and a public option?

EVERY American needs to watch this!  Put politics aside for 20 minutes, then FIND OUT  if your elected leader wants you on nationalized healthcare or not. Watch this and decide if YOUR senator and congressman is one who is trying to shove this crap down your throat! 3 YEARS to get a doctor’s appointment?  Pay an EXTRA $900 to see a private doctor- MAYBE?  If you have cash you can see a doctor “somedays”.  Come back 4 days later for your Tetnis shot from that rusty nail you stepped on.

By Paul JacobHealth Rations and YouWant a laugh? To keep you from crying at what President Obama and the Congress are trying to do to health care in this country?Over the decades, the federal government’s involvement in health care has been making it harder and harder for doctors and patients to make independent, sensible decisions about care.Many advocates of “reform” deny the destructive consequences of past “reform” and insist that the only way to solve our problems is, in effect, to make them

We had heard “chatter” about this provision and checked it out for ourselves. Sure enough, starting on page 424 with Section 1233 – “Advance Care Planning Considerations,” Congress is requiring “end of life” counseling sessions every five years for seniors. If that doesn’t send cold chills down your spine, then you should be concerned. (You can reference the bill for yourself, here…) Why our analogy to ‘Logan’s Run?’ Here’s a summary from Wikipedia: Logan’s Run is a novel by William F.

@ kmchenry Definitely look into the alternatives. # basecamp has the buzz, but the price / feature ratio is fairly non-competitive IMHO. in reply to kmchenry # @ kmchenry @ goplan , @ teamworkpm , @ open_atrium and @ activecollab are all worth looking at. in reply to kmchenry # # letsbehonest – having the US governemnt controlling the health care business is a disaster.

Are you feeling surprisingly spritely today? Happier than usual? Livelier than normal? Do you live in Raleigh? Well, THE ONE has arrived in town to impart his divine wisdom on the rest of us peons. As I type this, the Dali Bama is not 20 miles away from me, and I can feel his divine aura spreading over me. It feels like a big bear hug from which I’ll never escape, much like his view of government. A long line ringed the block around Broughton High School Wednesday morning as hundreds of people streamed into the school’s gym for the president’s town hall.

‘THIS isn’t about me,” President Obama allows. “I have great health care.” So the president should — but Obama’s checkups aren’t the problem. It’s the fact that our nation’s entire political class lives in an alternative health-care universe — and will do so even after the rest of us are stuck with the disaster of ObamaCare. Share This

Lawmakers are considering two new taxes to help pay for a health care overhaul: a tax on fatty foods and taxing insurers on so-called Cadillac plans. Both proposals were scrutinized in news articles. Forbes reports that while “chances are slim,” a fat tax could “help offset the cost of ObamaCare. Continue Read…

by Crocker on July 29, 2009, 9:50 amin Economics, Health Care, Politics I’ve always maintained that soldiers tend to “get” the Constitution better than our betters in government. My own father certainly did. After all, it’s the soldiers who’ll always have to do the bleeding to “support and defend” it.Small wonder, then, that a young soldier at an ObamaCare protest rally in St. Louis yesterday could pack so much sense into so few words. The crowd certainly appreciated it and let’s hope Sen.

Megan McArdle hits the nail on the thumb : I know, most of you have already figured out why I oppose national health care. In a nutshell, I hate the poor and want them to die so that all my rich friends can use their bodies as mulch for their diamond ranches. Both the flora and fauna residing on my diamond ranch are suffering from malnutrition. Please help! (Oh, and McArdle outlines a few other minor considerations as well.)

Hat tip to BrunDawg for the following: From “On The Right” website. Great Leader and Chairman Obama wants to ram his gargantuan health care bill down our throats before anyone realizes what’s in it. What doesn’t he want us to see? Some examples, from a quick inventory by Family Security Matters: Pg 22 of the HC Bill mandates the Government will audit books of all employers that self insure. Pg 30 Sec 123 of HC bill – a Government committee (good luck with that!) will decide what treatments/benefits a person may receive.

Shawn Tully, Editor at Large for Fortune magazine, has written an excellent article concerning the details of proposed health care reform legislation. I have provided a synopsis below: NEW YORK (Fortune) – In promoting his health-care agenda, President Obama has repeatedly reassured Americans that they can keep their existing health plans — and that the benefits and access they prize will be enhanced through reform. A close reading of the two main bills, one backed by Democrats in the House and the other issued by Sen.

The following excerpt was copied directly from HR 3200, the National Health Care bill that Speaker Pelosi plans to bring to the floor of the House of Representatives for a vote, perhaps as soon as Saturday.
