Pelosi to Unveil Bill With Weaker Public Option

Just listened to Pelosi present this bill. More taxes, more government--expressed concisely in 2,000 pages! More bullshit. Reply

In the WSJ article it says payrolls of $500K-$749K would get a penalty of 2% of payroll, that's about $10-$15K. Payrolls of $750K and up would get an 8% of payroll penalty. Reply

As disrespectful Pelosi and Reid showed the American people at these town hall meetings, I personally don't believe anything either one says---however, Obama did give us a glimpse of his thoughts on health care reform on interviews with 60 minutes and ABC George Stephanouls. On Septmber 19 on 60 minutes Obama said: if you have a doctor that you want to keep--you will be able to do keep him---BUT WE (The Govt) are going to only improve the stability and security of your plan---So Obama will know your insurance provider--your physician--your diagnosis---your prognosis--will view all your claims to see how the insurance provider was paying---if tests were ordered that Obama doesn't think should have been--and is still driving up cost care--the insurance provider will be dealt with by shutting them down---the goal is to keep the medical cost down---- When asked how Obama would pay for this bill- from the waste and abuse, the money that is already being spent that is not making people healthier that money can go to provide a better deal for someone without insurance. From that statement, it appears to be a pick and choose what Americans are getting healthier from their physicians and care--and if it isn't making the patient healthier--those monies would go to help someone else. George Stephanouls from ABC on September 20, how or why he would fine or tax those who don't get health care-- Obama said: "why should my $900 insurance premium go and pay for some one else who walks out in front of a car and gets injured and they had refused to get insurance! Obama said premiums will be affordable for all! Now I don't know how much premiums will cost us--but it sounds like a sliding scale--- Another statement made on 60 Minutes by Obama--once the health care reform passes--I WILL OWN IT! From that I guess our health will be in the hands of our Government! Obama said that he would have the FINAL SAY! Like the 'BUCK STOPS HERE". If peope have no problem with the Government making a decision regarding their last breathe on earth, then don't say anything-- IF THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT IS FRIGHTENING THAT THE GOVERNMENT AND OUR PRESIDENT WOULD HAVE THE FINAL SAY ON YOUR LAST BREATHE ON EARTH--CONTACT ALL YOUR FRIENDS---CALL SENATORS and REPRESENTATIVES---IT HAS TO BE DONE BY November 4th. Contact Senators and Represenatives from every State--they will listen because every vote affects your life. THE OWNING OF HEALTH CARE REFORM BY THE PRESIDENT JUST DOESN'T SET WELL WITH ME! I always thought that would be left for my family--children--or friends. Family can really bond with each other in times of crisis. But if the decision has not been made by a RELATIVE but BY MY GOVERNMENT--scares me! This week will be the final hour on our health care reform. I do not believe in passing a piece by piece meal health care--WILL BE DANGEROUS FOR EVERY LIFE IN AMERICA-- IF YOU FEEL THIS WAY---TELL THEM THAT TOO! I WOULD LIKE THE... Reply
