Obama-care repeal and replace

So is everyone pleased now that Obama-care has been repealed and replaced or on the way of being?
I am not certain as I have not read the details as of yet. However I am just as concerned as when Obama took over health care as I am now. Watching President Trump and the rest of Ryan’s gang gloat makes me uneasy.

The truth is this; the Federal government has NO business toying with your healthcare.
If they did really care they would amp up enforcement of all illegals and ship them out ASAP.
The illegals put an enormous strain on our hospitals mostly by using the emergency room.
And if you want to use a tax to fund healthcare the way to do that is remove all tax from cigarettes and alcohol that pay for billionaire stadiums and instead levy a 20% tax on those products which erode health.
Start with those 2 issues and then kick it back to the states. Even then I don't want my state involved in my healthcare.

This is why I am disappointed with Trump that he just didn’t defund Obama-care and let it die. But I didn’t expect it, hoped for it but never expected it to happen. He never campaigned on getting rid of Obama-care. So Trump is on course of doing what he said he would do, repeal and replace.

Below was written when the first proposed replacement health care plan failed.
Now that a new plan has passed the House is what I wrote still relevant? I think so but you decide.

Consistently throughout the campaign Trump gave two answers for most everything. The ones on the right only heard those things on the right, the ones on the left never bothered to listen to what Trump said leaning towards the left.

For instance, if you think back Trump consistently bashed Romney while on the campaign trail. But Trump’s bashing was never that I am aware of about Romney’s policy, it was about his failed and miserable campaign that he ran.

So does Trump really feel the replacement for Obama-care was the best plan? Probably, after all he did endorse Romney the real architect of Obama-care, because the replacement is more tweaking rather than what it is called, a replacement.

Either way it appears our federal government is entrenched in our healthcare. A tax never goes away and neither does a federal program no matter how temporary it is supposed to be.

Something else to think about.
Another reason for our mess with health insurance is - JOBS!, good jobs, jobs with benefits that are getting harder to find.
You can thank the overly strong tactics of Unions that overpriced jobs and also the globalist agenda of NAFTA and other horrible trade deals that put Americans at a disadvantage.
On top of that compounding the problem is the countless number of people who have decided to be self employed because they couldn't find work. Many of these people cannot afford insurance.
What a mess we created in America. Sad.

2 for 1 FURTHERMORE - The news letter of America News and Views Feb. 9 & 16


America News and Views news letter - FURTHERMORE
Host Bob Murphy, Liaison for the Tea Party Carey Masci, and our guest Private
Equity Manager Mark Holder were in the booth. The following week Senatorial
Candidate Rusty Bliss and our boss Chairman Fellows joined us for the second
half.
  Chairman Fellows was like a little kid on Christmas morning bursting in brimming with news Santorum is taking off like a rocket and our next president will be at the Lake County Lincoln Day dinner!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since I didn’t get a chance last week to write the newsletter I will combine last weeks show with this weeks.

The show on February 9th we talked about how Santorum did very well in the states with caucuses.  I love the idea of caucuses but Mark Holder is not too fond of them.  He thinks voting is something personal and private and shouldn’t be done in an open forum.  Mark has very valid points and he also stressed that people can be intimidated to vote against their choice.  Again he has very valid points and maybe he is right but I disagreed for this reason. 

 In a caucus setting you can hear pro’s and cons.  Too many times people vote strictly on sound bites or name recognition because they hear the ads without truly knowing the issue or the candidate.  Too prove my point the states Romney won he deluged the airwaves with ads and people voted for him.  In caucus states Santorum supporters showed up and revealed the truth behind those ads and the candidate.

Here’s another example how advertising works and why MILLIONS are spent on campaigns.  I ran
into a friend and told him I became a delegate for Santorum.  He said why, I thought Romney had the
nomination locked up.  Here is a person who votes but does not have the time or passion to research the candidates in full and was buying the lie that the GOP choice was already picked.

Next topic.
The perfect storm broke in favor of Santorum.  The healthcare fight reared its ugly head at
the right time.  People are finally realizing that our government is forcing us to do things against our will and beliefs.  This is more than just a healthcare issue.  Santorum has been talking about this since day one.

Even if Catholic churches are exempt from performing abortions or providing contraception’s they are still upset as their tax dollars as well as ours who are against this will still be funding the plan.  Plain and simple, Obama Care needs to go!

Another thing in favor of Santorum was the unfortunate illness of his daughter Bella.  This
showed the passion and character of the man.  Rick took time out to be with her during a hectic campaign schedule and the media what did they do?  They tried playing it as if Santorum was going home because he was dropping out of the race.  People saw right through this and made them even more upset of the cold callous behavior of the media. 

Compare Santorums actions doing all he can to save his special needs daughter to that of Obama who while as senator was against giving care to infants who survived abortions.  Terrible.

New Strategy
The media is now scrambling to reassess what is happening in the Republican race.  They were heralding Romney the winner, the only one who is electable, the only one who could beat Obama.  Of course we know why they said this.  One of two reasons, Mitt is the establishment pick and or he can’t beat Obama. 
But now with the Santorum surge Lawrence O’Donnell had this to say about Mitt that he is the most liberal Republican candidate while Santorum is the most conservative.  DUH??? No kidding.  He then went on to say this is what he has been waiting for, Obama against Santorum, (OH REALLY) the liberal vs. conservative debate, with Mitt you would only get an empty suit.  And as I have said since April, C-O-N-T-R-A-S-T, CONTRAST!  That’s what you will get with Santorum winning the GOP nomination contrast compared to Obama. 
Bring on the debate, I am excited also.

Something’s to think about
Word has it some factories are returning to the states.  In Governor Kasich’s State of the State address he pointed out a few examples of this.  Obama is touting that he was responsible.  Well something to think about… could it also be the high price of fuel returning these jobs?  It may be cheaper to build it here than built it over seas and ship it in. 

Look for this mini recovery to sputter.  Oil is spiking.  Every time the economy picks up a little bit those whom ever they are push the oil up, then when the economy bottoms, oil backs off.  This
process keeps being repeated but each time when oil drops it’s a little bit higher than the previous mark.  It seems they are determined for us to pay 5 bucks per gallon. 

Look for the contraceptive and abortion to stay part of Obama Care.  The only way to get rid of those two provisions is to totally get rid of the healthcare bill.  Why do I say this?  Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or restricting the free exercise thereof.  Well in the past when it was for society’s good congress did interfere with religion, not allowing Mormons more than one wife and in the past courts have ruled you can not deny medical attention to children because
of religious beliefs, just two examples. So if the courts decide that contraception and abortion are for the good of society, they will stay in the healthcare bill.

Friends,
Things are breaking our way.
Conservatism will win out over evil.  I truly believe God is not done with this country but we have to be open to his leading.  We as individuals have to do the right thing and never retreat. 
And Santorum…. Well he could be the Godly leader this nation has been sorely looking for.
Your Friend,
 Bob Murphy

health care brought to you by big government

I was just watching cable news and the CEO of Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Delos Cosgrove, was being asked by reporter Shapiro his thoughts on the health care bill.
Three points stuck out, cost, disease control and hospitals will have to share.

The CEO said how will health care be paid we are not sure, this administration is not even sure. What a marvelous plan!

Disease control such as smoking and obesity will have to be addressed. Are we ready for more social police telling you what to do, eat and behave?

And sharing amongst hospitals to afford this big bill. In other words maybe in time one hospital system which means of course less choice and in the end inferior service. You get what we got and thats it.
You wanted socialism, well its cometh!





GC: A lot of people watching the health-care debate are thinking that they're going to see their costs stop rising.

The total bill for health care for the country is going to continue to go up. Individual costs may come down in terms of what people pay for insurance, but they're going to pay for it in a different way -- in taxes, one way or another.


GC: President Obama has to some extent demonized the insurance companies. What's their proper role in the system?

We're going to have to have some form of insurance, whether it's run by the government or run privately. Insurance runs on the basis that everybody contributes, whether you're sick or not, and it's there for you when you are sick, and the people who are well help support the people who are not. We're going to have to have some sort of pooling of financial support.

Most countries have a two-part system: They have a government program, and on top of that they have the ability to have private insurance. I hate to think that we're going to have a two-tiered system in the U.S., but we may well. (The reason a lot of people opt for a two-tiered system is because in most cases what the government provides fails so you need a back up plan- CKM)

Representative Kings discharge petition for Obama care

My favorite congressman Representative Steven King of Iowa, whom I would love to see make a run for president, has brought to the house a discharge petition for Obama care. Please read this thoroughly and click on the links.

CKM

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Congressman King's petition is great beginning to ObamaCare's repeal

Months after the worst piece of legislation in American history -- and the most costly piece of legislation estimated to cost upwards of $2.5 trillion -- was passed, the massive effort to repeal Obamacare is growing. Polls show that this highly unpopular piece of socialism is still opposed by the American people as much as it was during the year-long debate and votes in the Democrat-controlled Congress.

A solid majority of Americans want Obamacare repealed. Even the selfish corporations, which gave the final impetus to passing Obamacare by supporting it, are now realizing what a terrible pact with the devil they made to cut out special exemptions for themselves. They are dropping health care plans, increasing health care costs to their employees, and writing off huge expenses due to the imposition of Obamacare on their companies, etc.
Now one of the most activist and courageous members of the United States Congress, Iowa Republican Congressman Steve King, has stepped forward to begin the arduous task of repealing Obamacare.

What Congressman Steve King has done is to introduce a discharge petition, which is a very public way of knowing which member of the House of Representatives who talks about repeal of Obamacare -- and there are a lot of moderate Democrats who say they want to repeal Obamacare to the voters in their congressional districts -- will actually vote for repeal of Obamacare. This will get them on record before the November election.

Indeed, with the new rules regarding the discharge petition procedure which a previous Republican-controlled Congress installed, American citizens can check this link to the Clerk of the House's website each and every day to see if their Congressman has signed the discharge petition: http://clerk.house.gov/111/lrc/pd/petitions/Dis11.htm

Once 218 members of the House of Representatives sign the discharge petition, Speaker Nancy Pelosi must bring the legislation to repeal Obamacare up for a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives.

Already, all the members of the House Republican leadership -- including next year's probable new Speaker of the House, Congressman John Boehner, the House Republican Leader -- have signed on to Congressman King's discharge petition. Undoubtedly, most, if not all, of the 177 Republicans will be signing the discharge petition. Their constituents, of course, may check each day by clicking on the link to see if their Republican congressman has signed the discharge petition.
If all House Republicans sign Congressman King's discharge petition beginning the process of abolishing the abominable Obamacare legislation, 41 Democrats in the House will also need to sign the discharge petition. Americans need to put pressure on Democrat Congressmen, especially in districts which President George W. Bush and Senator John McCain won (and there are over 60 of those congressional districts which Democrats now control) to sign Congressman King's discharge petition.

Americans need to follow-up each day by going to the House Clerk's link and see if their member of the House of Representatives has signed on to the discharge petition. If they have not signed it, voters should contact their relatives, friends and neighbors to ensure that these Democrats who say they are for repeal actually sign the discharge petition.
Congressman Steve King has a special message to all Americans willing to help in this major effort to repeal Obamacare: "My friends, Congress will be out for 11 days starting from tomorrow, in that period of time I encourage all interested citizens and outside groups to republish the link that shows the list of those who have signed on to the discharge petitions. If you happen to see a member your group is familiar with or happen to see your own congressman, that has not signed onto the discharge petition, please call them immediately and urge them to sign right away. The final outcome of this discharge petition hinges on our grassroots, our conservative coalition groups and all concerned Americans. I thank you all for the support and look forward to seeing you at a future meeting soon."

This discharge petition on the part of Congressman Steve King is a very noble effort which should encourage all Americans who are disgusted at the sharp leftward turn the Obama administration and the Democrat-controlled Congress have taken America. Just this week, the Democrats in the House of Representatives "deemed" a budget to be passed (i.e. pretended they passed a budget) because even they were embarassed by the trillion dollar deficits year and year and year in their budgets.

Recently, Congressman Steve King and his partner in this effort to get 218 signatures on the discharge petition, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Republican from Minnesota, wrote this to their fellow members of the U.S. House of Representatives:
"...Since Obamacare was signed into law, the American people have become more and more opposed to it. With every new day, Americans learn more about the detrimental provisions that were tucked into the bill's 3,000 pages. They've seen the cost estimates skyrocket, and they've come to realize that they will not, in fact, get to keep the insurance that they currently have. Americans want this law repealed completely. Now it's time to turn up the heat. Now it's time to demand a vote. Unfortunately, in Congress the Speaker has almost total control over which bills are allowed a vote on the floor. In the case of the repeal of Obamacare, a discharge petition is the only way that the American people will get a vote in the House - so long as Nancy Pelosi holds the Speaker's gavel.

The American public is growing increasingly distrustful of politicians. The effort to move a discharge petition will allow the American people to separate the pretenders from those who are truly committed to repealing Obamacare. While individual Members can make this or that argument against signing on as a cosponsor of repeal legislation, a discharge petition puts the question in a different and simpler way: Do you want to repeal Obamacare or not?
The American people want action, and through the discharge petition, we can give them a very clear means by which to measure the effort of Congress to repeal Obamacare...."
All Americans who do not want to pass along these trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see to their children and grandchildren, need to step up and help Congressman Steve King get the 218 signatures on the discharge petition to repeal Obamacare."

More on health care

Funding for health care
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated in its study last week that the House health care bill would bring in $167 billion over 10 years in penalties from those who don't get coverage. fox news
Ahhh its the old tax and fine scheme. Tax the legitimate, fine those who can't afford it and give to those who either don't belong here or don't work.


Democrats on Wednesday, supporting $460 billion in Medicare cuts to help pay for landmarkhealth care legislation.
More shell game tactics if you ask me.

Some things to ponder.
I said some of this before.... This bill is suppose to help those who don't have health insurance. But if people can't afford health insurance, even if its reasonable, they will be fined for not getting it. I still don't understand the thinking here. Where do you want us to get the money??

Abortion will be covered under the plan. How do you feel that your money will be spent on getting rid of an unwanted pregnancy? And answer this: How is an abortion part of health care? Only in extremely rare cases today does the mother stand the chance of losing her life that the need to abort arises. So how is this health care?

This plan will cover anyone with a preexisting condition but you have to wait 6 months. OK two things here. One is in some cases you can't wait, waiting can cost your life. And two if its not life threatening and you can wait the six months many people will refuse to carry health insurance and pay the yearly fine which may be cheaper, then when they get sick quickly get coverage. This will bankrupt the insurance companies and raise cost even more.

Dumb NJ Doctor
I was listening to a NJ radio station. The topic health care. A doctor called in and was very against the Obama plan and said she tried her best to convince her fellow doctors not to vote for Obama. The host asked do you think the Democrats made a mistake by not rallying around Hillary to get her elected? The doctor said absolutely, Hillary and her plan would of been much better.
What a BUFFOON! I am so glad she is not my doctor. Where do you think most of these ideas came from? Mandatory? Fines? Coverage for everyone? Hillary! Do the research.


Mitt Romney, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Hillary Clinton each received six or seven-figure campaign contributions from the insurance industry. Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights

A question to my Democratic friends.
Dear Democratic friend, I didn't vote for this bunch of Socialists and because you did, do you have a $1,000.00+ to pay my fine and keep me out of jail for not buying healthcare? And wait, its coming, I can almost guarantee that in this bill if you don't get health insurance and don't pay the fine you won't be able to renew your drivers license. So if you can't pay my fine can you at least drive me around until I do?
Merry Christmas!

Healthcare revisited

Friends,
I am resending sections of my article of when I attended the Health Care Forum and also of my Canadian cousin's letter to me. Its important that I tie the two together. Health care and the internet are two businesses that are still profitable and successful and supplying excellent service. Soon this could change as our government wants to take control of both and it will leave us with inferior services and escalated costs.

Here are the paragraphs of importance concerning health care:

I was not at all pleased with the rhetoric or demeanor from Regional Representative Max. Instead of giving real answers he used the term straw argument a few times,*attacked profits as one of the reasons for spiraling health care costs, and blamed capitalism.
He went on to say it was **people like me who don’t carry health insurance and use the emergency room as primary care.

When I confronted R. Rep. Max afterwards I asked him again about the fine and or jail time, he replied no jail time but there would be some incentive to make you get it.

Points of importance from my Canadian cousin:
.... as well as the fact that our doctors are paid substantially less than doctors in the USA because of our universal healthcare plan, it has caused a *mass exodus of our best doctors....most leaving for greener pastures in the USA.
This has been very bad for us, **as many of us now have to go to clinics or hospital emergency rooms to be seen for whatever ails us....often sitting and waiting for several hours. It also means that at any given appointment, we never know which doctor will be treating us....there may be up to 6 or 7 GP's in a clinic each working different days and times so you never know who you are going to get. Not very comforting for patients.

added notes:
*No one will argue about the cost of health care but do you want to get into a bidding war for the lowest price when it concerns your life? Unless you are in health care and understand the cost of tuition, insurance, licenses and the stress and burnout it may seem extravagant. There has to be a reason why people of great wealth and importance come to the US for health care. Could it be because we do have the best system? If the government does interfere and control cost less will be encouraged to become doctors and our standards and quality will decrease. IF they really want to control cost then they have to look at tort reform.

**It's amazing that Regional Rep. Max Blachman tried to blame me and people like me for the high cost of health care and yet the Democratic/Obama plan will not ease the situation of people using the emergency room as primary care but the exact opposite will occur, sending MORE people there.

Something else I still don't understand and never will. This proposal is suppose to help those who can't afford health care and insurance. The Democratic/Obama plan calls for mandatory insurance with heavy fines if you don't carry it. There are many in that gray where they make to much for government help but not enough to afford health insurance. If someone can't afford insurance how are they going to pay the heavy fines? Does this make sense? How is this helping?

If you would like to voice your opinion to Regional Representative Max Blachman he can be reached at Max_Blachman@brown.senate.gov.

Or you can contact Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown at 1-888-896-6446 or www.brown.senate.gov




If something is working and the government gets involved it will break it, and if it is broken already, the government will only make it worse. CKM

Canada's health care

Friends,
Here is an unedited email from my Canadian cousin born and raised there. I had contacted her to hear exactly her thoughts on socialized medicine. When I spoke out at the health care forum I was right on. Read it for yourself. And as usual, don't sit on this, forward it on to enlighten people.
Carey
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`


Hi Carey,
As far as Canada's Universal Health Care System goes......for many years it worked very well. However, as time went by, people, unfortunately began to take advantage of the fact that health care and the medical visits were free. People were going into medical clinics for a paper cut on their finger.....or they would take an appointment just to have their blood pressure checked. Clearly, the doctors were at fault here as well because they would swipe the medicare card of these "patients" thereby charging the government a fee for their very unecessary visit. This, as well as the fact that our doctors are paid substantially less than doctors in the USA because of our universal healthcare plan has caused a mass exodus of our best doctors....most leaving for greener pastures in the USA.
This has been very bad for us, as many of us now have to go to clinics or hospital emergency rooms to be seen for whatever ails us....often sitting and waiting for several hours. It also means that at any given appointment, we never know which doctor will be treating us....there may be up to 6 or 7 GP's in a clinic each working different days and times so you never know who you are going to get. Not very comforting for patients.
The idea of Universal Health Care is a good one ....but with limits. Somewhere between Canada's and France's health care systems is the perfect plan. The USA is a great country and the government should be able to come up with a plan that takes care of it's citizens. Maybe a plan that is comiserate with a family's income level.
Whatever plan the USA decides on...I hope it will be a fair and equitable one for all your citizens.
Let me know your thoughts on this...I would love to see what you wrote.

Take care,
Darlene

health care forum, my report

Friends,
I attended the health-care forum Thursday night, October 29, in Painesville, Ohio. First before I give you my take, I would like to thank Councilman Flock for organizing this engaging and informative event on a very important issue facing America. He cordially welcomed everyone and ran the event well.

Senator Sherrod Brown who was suppose to host this town hall meeting did not attend but instead sent Regional Representative Max Blachman to field questions.

Even though I said it was engaging and informative I did not learn much about the health-care plan from Representative Max himself. Instead I learned more listening to the questions from the rather small crowd of only about 35 who attended, almost all were in opposition. It was pointed out to me various reasons for the small attendance. One was lack of promoting the event and the other reason was the area it was held has a lot of welfare and those people don’t care. Something else I heard at the event was they were going to have heightened security because of the opposition to the plan and Conservatives who may show. Really not sure how true any of this is.

I was not at all pleased with the rhetoric or demeanor from R. Rep. Max. Instead of giving real answers he used the term straw argument a few times, attacked profits as one of the reasons for spiraling health care costs, and blamed capitalism. He fast talked over my question and also blamed me as one of the reasons why the costs are out of control and the need for mandatory insurance

My questions were – I am self-employed, barely making it right now, very healthy, I choose not to have health insurance. BUT even if I did want it I can’t afford it and any more government involvement whether taxes or mandatory programs. If I choose not to carry health insurance will I be fined or jailed?

Max said no one will be sent to jail, I never heard that but a possible fine may be included. Well according to one proposal it would include a fine of up to $1,000.00 and up to six months in jail. He went on to say it was people like me who don’t carry health insurance and use the emergency room as primary care. I guess he was alluding to people not paying for the care they received. I was not at all happy when someone else used me as an example for one of the reasons for needing a plan. I confronted Max afterward to set things straight but he didn’t want any explanation.

The thing that upsets me the most is the term they keep using, health care crisis. There is no health care crisis. You can still be treated in a hospital if needed. Max repeatedly used this term. The loudest jeers and boos came when R. Rep. Max blamed capitalism. I don’t remember the exact question but blaming capitalism seems to me that he has socialist leanings and this is a socialist plan. Is capitalism perfect no but it has given us the highest standard of living and is still far better than socialism. He also attacked profits as if they are evil.

I was quite vocal when R. Rep. Max said the figure of 42 million for people who don’t have any health insurance. I spoke out of turn and asked loudly what is the real number, President Obama said 42 million then dropped it to 36 million and I have heard numbers as high as 47 million? Does this number include illegal aliens? R. Rep. Max responded those illegals are a straw argument; there is only 6 million in this country. 6 million people receiving care from your money is not a straw argument. That’s where you need to start, who is covered in this plan?

Questions were raised whether abortion would be covered and if you can keep you existing coverage. To be honest with you, I don’t remember the answers to those. By this time I was turned off by Max’s answer to the illegal alien question and him turning the tables on me as if I was the problem. As I said I learned more from the questions asked rather than the answers given of this enormous bill that I am pretty sure even R. Rep. Max hasn’t completely read because most of what was asked was answered with, no the plan doesn’t have that.



CKM



Side notes:

*It’s amazing how you can have two opposing views to an issue. A person spoke up and said they know people who go to Canada for medicine and universal healthcare is working for Canada. To that I shouted I have family living in Canada and she is not at all happy with their system. Someone else gave me the thumbs up and said I agree with you, I also have family living up there and they are not happy.

**When I confronted R. Rep. Max afterwards I asked him again about the fine and or jail time, he replied no jail time but there would be some incentive to make you get it.

***I also tried to set him and said I own three houses, have paid property and income tax, he cut me off and said property tax doesn’t pay for health care. The point I was trying to make is, I am a citizen born here and have paid taxes for years, if someone should be covered or use the emergency room then it should be someone as myself not an illegal.

**** A veteran brought to my attention that there was no pledge of allegiance and no recognition of the vets serving.
******This is the email I received informing me of this event:

On Wednesday, October 28, 2009 Posted in the Northeast Ohio News-Herald on page A3 was written in a SMALL area, about the size of a United States postage stamp…..Our Representative Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) is hosting a town hall meeting on Thursday night in Painesville at 7:00 p.m. Sherrod Brown will discuss the Health-care Reform Act at Elm Street Elementary School, 585 Elm St.
What is hilarious about this is...the article is so small that my thumb would cover it up. Do you think he really wants anyone to know about it? What's he afraid of? Why was this posted 1 day before the actual town hall meeting?



PS: I didn't even touch on the cost of Universal Health Care, America can not afford any more debt!!!!
