Since socialized healthcare is right around the corner I thought I would talk a bit more about this mess. This is the biggest Trojan Horse ever.
First off all, I will go on the record and say that all we have to do to fix the rising medical costs is to have serious tort reform. Yes, we need to stop suing Docs and drug companies in to oblivion. We are a suit happy society. So, of course Docs and hospitals are going to practice defensive medicine. They have to order a ton of unnecessary tests because they are afraid if they don’t you will sue them. Their insurance costs are ridiculous.
Let them be a partner in your healthcare. Right now they are afraid of you.
Tort reform WILL fix the rising costs of healthcare. Also, personal responsibility will cut costs as well. Calling 911 for missing McNuggets is just a classic example. Anyway, I guess Obama never thought of tort reform. Even if he did he wouldn’t do it because he’s an attorney and it won’t afford him as much control as government run healthcare.
With that said, here’s what you can look forward to.
1. He’s going to CUT Medicare and Medicaid payments to Docs and hospitals. Yeah, that’s a good idea. Medicare and Medicaid payments are on the low side already.
2. He WILL raise taxes and YES even if you make less that $250,000. You will see increased taxes on good and services in the form of VAT taxes and/or Sin Taxes.
Don’t believe me, you know I always post my sources.
In his address Saturday, Obama refers to a 10-year total of more than $600 billion in “savings” for health care. However, he does not explain in his latest comments that, under his revised budget released last month, $326 billion of that amount would come from tax hikes on Americans making over $250,000 a year, “loophole closers,” and higher fees for some government services. . . .
. . .The bulk of the new $313 billion in savings would come from cutting or reducing the growth of payments to hospitals, medical equipment manufacturers and laboratories —. . .
. . .Another $106 billion would come from cuts in so-called disproportionate share payments the federal government makes to hospitals with large numbers of uninsured patients. . .
. . .About $75 billion is slated to come from lower payments for prescription drugs. . .
. . .The cuts and savings are likely to engender warnings from providers that de-facto rationing will occur as patients in some areas find themselves unable to find providers willing to perform lab tests, X-rays and the like, due to the lower reimbursement rates.

. . .And now, Obama proposes to create the largest government entitlement program in world history, despite the fact that government has raped the Medicare “Trust Fund”, raped the Social Security “Trust Fund” and offloaded huge Medicaid bills on state governments.
As for Obama’s “open mind”? Roll Call Magazine reported this week that interested parties were threatened by Democrat staffers for even talking to Republicans about socialized medicine (“Baucus Aides Warn K Street“). The threatened private groups include representatives of hospitals, doctors and nurses. And the Democrats are threatening them with punishment if they even talk to Republicans. . .
What will be the effects of socialized medicine on the supply of doctors and nurses? Will talented youngsters want to work for a government-run system and make significantly less money? What will happen to the pharmaceutical industry, which currently provides 93% of the world’s drug innovations? Or the private hospital system, or private insurers? Or your insurance? And your doctor?
. . .Never mind that they have no way to pay for it, that they’re slashing Medicare benefits by $313 billion while proposing $600 billion in new taxes… and that stillwon’t be enough..
So call (202-224-2651, 202-224-3121, 406-657-6790, 406-586-6104) or email the cretinous Senator from Montana Max Baucus now and politely tell him these four things:
• You work for us, we don’t work for you!
• We want our voices heard on socialized medicine and we want you to stop threatening private parties!
• And our voices say: we don’t want socialized medicine!
• And we want a fix for Social Security and Medicare before you even think about killing our health care system!We demand to be heard or the entire country will mobilize to throw you out of office the next time around!
Be polite but firm. And keep calling and writing.
After reading all of this don’t you think Tort Reform is a better idea? We wouldn’t be in this mess if people didn’t sue over every damn thing

Now, on to more tactics that you need to be aware of.
Hmmm, this is a shame and I’m glad Glenn took this guy to task. The New York Times is so biased in a very scary way. No group should point and blame the way this guy does.
It’s time to get involved and make the truth heard. Don’t wait for someone else to do it. Get up, get out and get heard. Don’t let folks like Krugman keep you quiet.
Even regular folks can and do make a difference
They Want to Silence You
by Web Producer
Beck: “In Friday’s New York Times, economist Paul Krugman took some nasty shots at me, Bill O’Reilly and other commentators, saying: ‘For the most part, the likes of FOX News and the RNC haven’t directly incited violence,’ which suggests in a small part we have. He also said: ‘And at this point, whatever dividing line there was between mainstream conservatism and the black-helicopter crowd seems to have been virtually erased.’ He just linked conservatives to conspiracy theorists. In other words, this is not attacking just me, it’s attacking you — because if you’re a conservative you’re a crazy person.

I know you’ve heard about the Czars that are running around Washington doing Obama’s bidding with no accountability to Congress or us. This is wrong and should be stopped. These guys/girls will not talk to anyone and no one knows what they are doing. Neil explains is perfectly. If this wasn’t true the humor in the this video would be quite funny. But, even if you find it funny—remember, it’s true.
On a more serious note, here’s what’s going on behind the scenes of the Auto industry fiasco. Listen close, constitutional and contractual law is just tossed to the side and no one knows what these guys and Obama are doing. Czars answer to no one. Remember that when your freedom is taken away in the middle of the night.
