Harry Reid

Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the Democrats have finally pushed through the massive health care bill and Obama signed it into law today hanging a tremendous burden on the American people.  This bill adds trillions to our national debt, does nothing to reduce raising health care costs and will result in a significant decrease in the quality of health care Americans have enjoyed over the years.  Even those who did not have health care received quality emergency care in the hospitals.  Below is a short excerpt on Government cost estimates from Michael D. Tanner of the CATO Institute.

For example, when Medicare was instituted in 1965, it was estimated that the cost of Medicare Part A would be $9 billion by 1990. In actuality, it was seven times higher — $67 billion. Similarly, in 1987, Medicaid's special hospitals subsidy was projected to cost $100 million annually by 1992, just five years later; it actually cost $11 billion, more than 100 times as much. And in 1988, when Medicare's home-care benefit was established, the projected cost for 1993 was $4 billion, but the actual cost in 1993 was $10 billion. [Michael D. Tanner of the CATO Institute]

So do you really think passing this bill was good for America?  I think it is past time we run these incompetent idiots out of town.

The Obama administration is hell bent on a government take over of health care, driving this country deeper in debt, all the while blowing smoke up the American people's ass about how great this bill will be for children, middle income families and small businesses.  The lies and distortion this administration uses about health care is beyond anything I have seen from any other administration.

The arrogance of these idiots is amazing.  Now we have the Obama taking puppet (Robert Gibbs) saying  "We're happy to have the 2010 elections be about the achievement of health care reform. That's a debate I think we're obviously comfortable having,"  and David Axelrod saying "Make my day," [Fox News]   Are they kidding?  Achievement of health care?  The majority of Americans know this bill would be a disaster for America.

Also unbelievable, is this from David Axelrod:

"If the Republican Party wants to go out and say to that child who now has insurance or say to that small business that will get tax credits this year ... you know what, we're actually going to take that away from you and we don't think that's such a good idea, I say let's have that fight," Axelrod told ABC'S "This Week." "I'm ready to have that and every member of Congress ought to be willing to have that debate as well."   [Fox News]  Wow, Really David?

We all know America needs health care reform, BUT AT WHAT COST?  How would Mr Axelrod like to say to that child, "Wow sorry your parents don't have jobs and can't afford their house or food, but look on the bright side you have Government provided health care.  Just think while you're waiting to be seen in that hospital, you'll have a roof over your head at no charge."   Or maybe he could say to the small businesses, "Sorry you no longer have the capital to hire new employees, because we had to raise your taxes by 35%  to pay our debt back Japan & China,  but at least you got that great tax credit for health care."

Let's be clear, this administration could care less about providing health care to Americans and their only mission is to take more control of our lives.  All one has to do is look at the banks, the auto industry, health care is on the way and so will educational loans if this bill passes.  Think about not having mail on Saturday and tell how all this hope and change are working for you.

Just when you thought it could not get any better... It appears that President Obama is planning to go out to Nevada to "help" campaign for Reid, who is trailing in all the polls.

I say Great!  The "Big Cheese" riding in on his big white plan to save the day.  After all, look how well it worked in the VA Governor’s Race, the NJ Governor’s Race, Copenhagen for the Olympics, Copenhagen for the Climate Boondoggle, and just look at how much he helped Martha Coakley. This President just don't seem to get it, but I hope the people of Nevada show Harry the same "love" as the people of Massachusetts showed Martha.

To the great people of Nevada, "America is counting on you to do the right thing and send Harry to the unemployment line."

In yet another reason to contact Congress and tell them this Health Care Bill is BS...

Forget the public option. Even without it, the health care bill presented in the Senate by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) would make some middle-class American families pay what amounts to a $15,200 annual federally-mandated insurance fee, according to facts revealed in analyses published by the Congressional Budget Office.  (Terence P. Jeffrey, Editor-in-Chief)

This bill is a disaster and needs to be thrown out with the Democrats....  Be sure to contact your Senators and Representative at  Congress.org

You know I rarely agree with the slobbering liberal media.  However, I read this article on the Huffington Post by  Jane Hamsher that now has me wondering if the left is beginning to see through this arrogant & incompetent administration.  Jane's post,  "Top 10 Reasons to Kill the Senate Health Care Bill", provides some keen insight into the Senate Health Care bill.  After reading these top ten and reviewing the supporting information, it is clear that every American should be on the phone, sending emails, or faxes to their Senators.  This bill is a disaster for America, so I urge everyone to contact their Senator now, before it is too late.  THIS BILL MUST BE STOPPED!  To find out how to contact thses criminals, check out Congress.org.

Top 10 Reasons to Kill Senate Health Care Bill  (Jane Hamsher, December 2009)

1. Forces you to pay up to 8% of your income to private insurance corporations -- whether you want to or not.

2. If you refuse to buy the insurance, you'll have to pay penalties of up to 2% of your annual income to the IRS.

3. Many will be forced to buy poor-quality insurance they can't afford to use, with $11,900 in annual out-of-pocket expenses over and above their annual premiums.

4. Massive restriction on a woman's right to choose, designed to trigger a challenge to Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court.

5. Paid for by taxes on the middle class insurance plan you have right now through your employer, causing them to cut back benefits and increase co-pays.

6. Many of the taxes to pay for the bill start now, but most Americans won't see any benefits -- like an end to discrimination against those with preexisting conditions -- until 2014 when the program begins.

7. Allows insurance companies to charge people who are older 300% more than others.

8. Grants monopolies to drug companies that will keep generic versions of expensive biotech drugs from ever coming to market.

9. No re-importation of prescription drugs, which would save consumers $100 billion over 10 years.

10. The cost of medical care will continue to rise, and insurance premiums for a family of four will rise an average of $1,000 a year -- meaning in 10 years, your family's insurance premium will be $10,000 more annually than it is right now.

Sometime tonight, the Senate will vote to move their version of health care forward for debate.  This bill, similar to the House's bill will drive up taxes significantly on all Americans, increase our national debt by trillions and destroy the quality of health care Americans have today.

Although Congress is far from delivering any kind of meaningful health care reform, the road these incompetent idiots are traveling is setting up our country for economic disaster.

"President Barack Obama took office promising to lead from the center and solve big problems. He has exerted enormous political energy attempting to reform the nation's health-care system. But the biggest economic problem facing the nation is not health care. It's the deficit. Recently, the White House signaled that it will get serious about reducing the deficit next year—after it locks into place massive new health-care entitlements. This is a recipe for disaster, as it will create a new appetite for increased spending and yet another powerful interest group to oppose deficit-reduction measures." (DOUGLAS HOLTZ-EAKIN, Nov 2009)

How far will we allow this disastrous spending of the Obama administration to go before we reach the stage of "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."  America understands Obama inherited an economic mess from the Bush administration, but at some point Obama and his administration must be held accountable for their current and planned spending that will destroy our economy.
