Obama To Tea Party: 'Identify, Specifically, What Would You Do?'

Monday, September 20, 2010


Help me remember, what Republican ideas has Obama attempted to push through
===================================

Obama's healthcare "reform" legislation for one.  It's Bush's Medicare Reform Act of 2003, Part 2 (which was the last great, obscene, sloppy wet k!ss to Big Insurance and PhRma, by both Republicans & Democrats).

Obama and Democrats were put into power to get affordable quality medical treatment for everyone.  This legislation doesn't do that at all.  In fact, it's a giant leap to ending all public healthcare (Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP, CHAMPUS, veterans care, etc.).

Having insurance (which is all that Obama's legislation does, and not even for everyone, just for a few million more) doesn't mean getting necessary medical care or that you will be able to afford medical care. 

Think about that for a minute, because I do understand how, after hours/days/months of spin by professional spinmeisters (politicians), you might not appreciate the distinction.

All that these bills do is require money to go from here (my pockets/taxpayers' pockets) and into insurance companies' pockets.

There is NO LIMITATION on insurance companies' charging and increasing co-pays and deductibles and eliminating services.

There is NO REQUIREMENT for insurance companies to have to provide services not paid for.

More people will be put into Medicaid, which states (which are currently going bankrupt) are required to co-pay along with the federal government. States are eliminating Medicaid services as a result. "Yes, you will fall into Medicaid, but Medicaid doesn't treat chit."
