Anyone who doesn't slice and dice their AARP card is not very smart. This is an organization that is taking full advantage of those they claim to be helping, the Seniors. NO THEY AREN'T. They are a dishonest, corrupt organization who has been using members contributions to gain power with the Democratic party. They have been running Millions of dollars of ads in every election and subtly pimping the dems. I would never sign up with such a group because they aren't honest about it. If that is their leaning, then just say so. But they pretend to be on the side of the Seniors, fighting for them and their rights when in reality they aren't doing any such thing.
It is this latest boondoggle health care agenda that brought their real agenda to light and now people are backing away, and most are downright angry as they should be. They trusted AARP. They believed in them and it was one of those organizations they thought they could throw their trust and money to and they would do the looking after them while they went off to play.
Well, we all know now that isn't the case. AARP is a left wing organization and if Health care Reform as the DEMS are presenting it passes, they stand to make a bezillion dollars off the backs of the Seniors who trusted them. Dishonest doesn't even begin to describe it. It's the AL GORE pull the wool over your eyes scheme on steroids. Al Gore has made Hundreds of Millions off of Climate Change rhetoric. But if the CAP AND TRADE a.k.a. tax and CRAP on Americans bill passes, he stands to become a BILLIONAIRE off of it. Now do we know why he is so passtionate about "a tenth of a degree warming in a decade??? Moola baby, it's all about MOOLA. MOOLA and Power and GREED.

Like I said earlier when President Obama said AARP was behind his bill and AARP denied it - President Obama was telling the truth and AARP lied. I guess AARP doesn't have a problem selling the seniors down the river. Good thing I told AARP that I would not renew my membership.
Guess you showed the AARP a thing or two..I'm sure they're still weeping over their loss.

So the Republicans have come up with a 230-page healthcare alternative. It took the Democrats 1,990 pages. Wonder why it took so much more. Could it be perhaps because the Democrat plan grossly expands the federal government and bureaucracy?
What does the Republican alternative include? Glad you asked. Some of the highlights are:
- Increasing incentives for people to use health savings accounts
- Capping non-economic awards in medical malpractices cases
- Incentives for states to drive down premium costs
- Allowing health insurance to be sold across state lines
What does the Republican plan NOT include?
- No employer mandate
- No individual health insurance mandate
- It doesn't require insurers to cover pre-existing conditions
- Probably some abortion stuff that I could care less about
As the Republicans introduced their bill the Democrats were passing around a binder with a cover page reading "Republican Health Care Plan." Inside you would only find blank pages. Very cute ... the Republicans introduce a 233 page plan, and the Democrat Socialist Party refuses to acknowledge its very existence.
Wait, wait!!! Why should the Republicans waste time on a healthcare reform plan when bigrants says he has a list of other options (most probably include dying) for those without health insurance? They could be out golfing instead.Last edited on Thu Nov 5th, 2009 03:05 am by callmelou

Houston Tea Party
Houston Tea Party rally draws more than 10,000
By PEGGY O'HARE Copyright 2009 Houston Chronicle
Nov. 3, 2009, 12:16AM
More than 10,000 people turned out Monday night for a North Houston Tea Party Patriots gathering to protest proposed health care reform and what they called big government spending and overzealous government leadership, according to preliminary attendance figures.
Under clear skies and a perfect moon, crowds packed the field at the Sam Houston Race Park and cheered loudly as speakers called for the people to take control of the American government. Wearing slogans that said “Don't Tread on Me” and T-shirts stating, “I am a Tea Party Patriot — I will defend our Constitution,” those attending the event enthusiastically showed support for more constraints on the government and more personal freedom.
“This isn't about ‘I can't stand Barack Obama' — this is about ‘I can't stand a government that will tread on me,' ” said Houston radio talk show host and TV anchor Joe “Pags” Pagliarulo to a rousing burst of applause from the audience.
“Taxes are going up because we have to pay for health care for people who are here illegally,” Pagliarulo said. “We have to pay for health care for people who don't want health care ... We've got a government that's run amok — we've got a government that doesn't care about you or me. It cares about power, it cares about control.”
Attendees stressed that Monday's event — and their support of it — was not partisan in nature. Several of those in the audience said they feel all political parties have stopped listening to the people and that voters feel like they no longer have a voice in Washington.
“We vote primarily Republican, but they don't seem to be that much different anymore than Democrats,” said Everett Cochran of Montgomery, who attended the rally with his wife, Donna. “Nobody in the party apparently is listening to what the moderates to conservatives are saying — all they're listening to is the moderates to the liberals.”
Laureen Jones and Joan Orozco of The Woodlands said they attended to protest government spending as well as government-run health care.
“Basically, I think the country is going in the wrong direction quickly,” Orozco said. “I think the Constitution is being violated. People are tired of being told what the government is going to do to them.”
An exact attendance count was not available Monday night, but Sam Houston Race Park officials said preliminary numbers based on turnstiles indicated the crowd exceeded 10,000 people.

So please enlighten us as to who exactly is "suffering" today that won't be "suffering" tomorrow if this gigantic private enterprise takeover is allowed to move forward.
Prove me wrong libbie-lusingit. Please. I want to be wrong.  
Regarding people without healthcare insurance--you seriously have to ask why they're suffering? I don't know what I was thinking of, rants...everyone can afford healthcare in this country...nobody loses it when they lose their job..nobody is disqualified for real or bogus pre-existing conditions.....you better notify your lame party that they need not to pretend to have an alternate healthcare reform plan afterall...cause you don't see anyone suffering..whatta humanitarian.
There are numerous programs available already that many of those instances don't even bother to sign up for but are eligible for. Are there some big issues, yes. Can they be fixed without a MASSIVE GOV'T TAKEOVER ....YES WE CAN.
What are these "numerous programs" which will provide middle class Americans, under the age of 65, affordable healthcare insurance regardless of pre existing conditions? The entire country is waiting for you to announce them. Yo! Rantsnraves...CNN is still waiting for you to tell the world which programs you discovered as I requested? You seem sorta silent on the issue..how unrantful.
- You will be ignored if you do not enter into a discussion seriously and sincerely.
- When you are laboring at making a fool of yourself, you will be assisted.
It cuts both ways...LOL   
Sheesh, rants...you picked the hickspeak ID...shape up...and telllll us what programs you claimed are already in place for everyone without healthcare...we know, bigrants nevah lies online LOL.....LOL..at least that's what you claimed..unless you lied about that, too.
- You will be ignored if you do not enter into a discussion seriously and sincerely.

Raz is away from their computer right now...but if you'll leave your name - number - and a short message (after the beep)...and Raz will get back to you, as soon as possible. Thank you for calling...and have a nice day!    Sorry, Raz...I like my answer better than yours. L L L L

The entire country is waiting for you to announce them. Yo! Rantsnraves...CNN is still waiting for you to tell the world which programs you discovered as I requested? You seem sorta silent on the issue..how unrantful.

I hear that every once in a while from the libs but seriously, I have not seen any documentation to prove that is a fact. Do you have it? If people are going bankrupt at that high of rate because of health expenses, then they aren't carrying health insurance which again, is a personal decision. It's like playing the slots, it's a gamble they are willing to take.
What the other Countries have are people dying in the hallways because they can't get access to health care or the gov't determines they are not worth the cost. I will take the bankruptcies first. The nancyfancypants plan only covers an additional 6 million people. It's not about covering the uninsured because it doesn't, or lowering cost because it doesn't, it's all about spreading the wealth among their friends and setting up more and more complicated gov't run agencies to dictate what you can do in your personal life. Power and control....but talk to those in England who are saying to us DON'T DO IT or Merckle in Germany who is trying to back away from it because guess what....they can't sustain it and it is bankrupting their countries. We won't be able to sustain it either, we can't pay for the debt we already have. WE ARE OUT OF MONEY.
We all love Utopian pie in the sky plans, but that doesn't make them practical or mean that we can afford them. I wish someone would come in and pay my mortgage payment, or give me a trip to Europe or hand me the keys to a new Lexus. At some point some common sense needs to enter this discussion and it ain't coming from the liberals who are high on power.
Perhaps it's you that doesn't get it.

Nancyfancypants included something like 110 NEW gov't run committees, agencies, pilot programs, trial programs, beaurocrat run health care decisions to overrule physicians, hospitals and caregivers to pay off all her radical left wing buddies.

So please enlighten us as to who exactly is "suffering" today that won't be "suffering" tomorrow if this gigantic private enterprise takeover is allowed to move forward.
Prove me wrong libbie-lusingit. Please. I want to be wrong.  
Regarding people without healthcare insurance--you seriously have to ask why they're suffering? I don't know what I was thinking of, rants...everyone can afford healthcare in this country...nobody loses it when they lose their job..nobody is disqualified for real or bogus pre-existing conditions.....you better notify your lame party that they need not to pretend to have an alternate healthcare reform plan afterall...cause you don't see anyone suffering..whatta humanitarian.

You tell me how this 1.4 TRILLION dollar boondoggle, 1990 pages of pure liberal gifting is going to change anything for any of those "suffering" when it only covers approx 2% or 6 million people and not until 2019?? How's that for "crisis" management??
The only people who won't be suffering are the TRIAL LAWYERS because there isn't one thing in that 2,000 page piece of trash that addresses the biggest elephant in the room, the biggest cause for out of control costs and Nancyfancypants ignores that because she owes them as does President Procrastinator. Why don't you demand some honesty here??
All we need to do right now is work on TORT REFORM, number one, and open up State to State purchasing power to create more competition, and to allow employees to own their own policies to take with them when they lose or change their jobs without bumping them into the COBRA cost. Allow small businesses to band together to receive the same cost savings as large corporations making it much more affordable to everyone.
None of those things will cost the taxpayer one thin dime, remember that statement from President Procrastinator?? Well his plan will cost us 1.4 TRILLION and higher according to the CBO, it never costs what they say it will, that has been proven over and over.
There isn't one person in the United States that cannot obtain health care if they need it. Not even the illegal aliens who are sucking our system dry and the dems will make sure that continues if they have their way.
In that 2,000 page pile of crap job killer is nothing but program after program run by beaurocrats to ensure they have complete and total power over American's. If nancyfancypants bill passes, we won't be able to go to the bathroom without written permission from one of them. I think we need to just wipe our backsides with it and flush it. End everybody's misery.

Wendell Potter, a former vice president for corporate communications at CIGNA, returned to the Insurance City Monday to politely bite the hand that once rewarded him.
Potter spent years with CIGNA, where it was his job to convince the public that insurance reform with government-sponsored health care amounted to a "government takeover."
"That's a phrase I used to write. That's a lie," Potter told me during a whirlwind visit sponsored by the health care reform group Citizens for Economic Opportunity. Instead, he said "it will give people an additional choice."
I listened closely to this soft-spoken man, in his bland suit and horn-rimmed glasses, who talks of respect for his former insurance industry colleagues — and his disdain for corporate leaders, blinded by profits, now trying to block reforms that include the public option.
This longtime executive's path to enlightenment is revealing. The more he learned and the higher he climbed within CIGNA, the more questions and sleepless nights he had.
"You really cannot trust the insurance companies to do the right thing. I know that from many years of working for them," said Potter, the industry's highest-ranking — and perhaps only — whistle-blower. "I regret that I have to say that."

Capitol to be filled with livid Americans
Citizens return to D.C. to warn Congress, 'Keep your hands off my health care'

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. Lawmakers are calling on Americans to storm the Capitol on Thursday in an "Emergency House Call on Congress" to stop the House from passing the Democrats' health-care bill this week.
A group of legislators led by Reps. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., will be holding an emergency town-hall meeting outside the Capitol at 12 p.m. to protest the health-care bill set to hit the House floor. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has indicated that a vote on the bill could take place as soon as Thursday.
Bachmann told WND she is urging citizens to come to Washington and "pay an emergency House call to Congress."
"This is the most effective way we have to kill socialized medicine and to do it this week," she said. "Nothing is more effective at reaching a congressman than having a citizen come to Washington, D.C. – not asking for a handout, not asking for tax money, not asking to take some liberty away from somebody else, but just asking for freedom."
She said the American people spoke loud and clear this summer, telling Congress they don't want "cradle-to-grave takeover of health care." According to Rasmussen Reports, a full 54 percent of voters are now opposed to the House version of health-care reform. Only 23 percent of all voters strongly support the plan while nearly twice as many, or 44 percent, expressed strong opposition.
"We saw tea parties. We saw the 9/12 movement where literally hundreds of thousands of Americans, if not more, all converged on the Capitol on a Saturday. People did this to get the attention of their members of Congress," Bachmann said. "This is the week when the decision will be made about whether we will choose liberty or tyranny, whether we will choose socialized medicine or a free market."
Actor John Voight and "Liberty and Tyranny" author Mark Levin have volunteered to come and speak at the event. Dr. Betsy McCaughey, former New York lieutenant governor and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, will speak as well.
I wish I could be there.....Keep them in your prayers because these are the folks who are fighting for US, as in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 
Many of us here wish you were there too. So sorry you think it's OK for people to suffer.

THE CONSTITUTION AND HEALTHCARE
When it comes to achieving the Democrats dreams and schemes, there is nothing that will stand in their way. Not even that pesky little thing called the Constitution. Republican Senator Orrin Hatch put it all in perspective recently. He does not believe that the Democrat plans for healthcare are justifiable. He says that if the federal government can force Americans to buy health insurance "then there is literally nothing the federal government can't force us to do."
Ain't that the truth?
First it is healthcare. Then what? What comes next for the Democrats to achieve their goal of making you more and more dependent on government? Orrin Hatch's point is that right now, the Constitution still remains a "barrier" for the Democrats. But if they get their way with healthcare, the levies will be broken. There will be nothing stopping them from trampling over what is left of our Constitution.
And the White House doesn't seem to have a problem with that. Robert Gibbs was asked just yesterday whether White House lawyers had reviewed the Constitutionality of Obamacare. Robert Gibbs' response was that the White House is not seriously concerned about this.
Not seriously concerned? What is there to be MORE concerned about than upholding the foundation of this country? Then upholding the Constitution. Didn't The Community Organizer take an oath to protect and defend our Constitution? And now he's "Not concerned"? And if you will remember, Nancy Pelosi had a similar response last week. When asked about the Constitutionality of her healthcare plan, she actually thought the reporter was joking. She chuckled, "Are you serious? Is that a serious question?" Yes, Nancy. Yes, Robert. Yes, Obama. We are serious. And it is about time you get serious too before you completely

This article, by John Dingell, has a lot of good stats and information on our healthcare system as well as other countries. Rupublican or Democrat, give it a look.

PELOSICARE....DANGER Alert
Page 110 - "Requires the use of federal dollars to fund abortions through the gov't run health plan".
Page 111 - Section 223 - "Establishes a new board of federal bureaucrats (the Health Benefits Advisory Committee) to dictate the health plans that all individuals must purchase -- and would likely require all Americans to lose their existing coverage."
Page 225 - Section 330 - "Permits -- but does not require - Members of Congress to enroll in gov't run health care". So they'll be able to opt out of it and maintain their "Cadillac plans".
Page 255 - Section 345 - "Includes language requiring verification of income for individuals wishing to receive federal health care subsidies under the bill -- while the bill includes a requirement for applicants to verify their citizenship, it does not include a similar requirement to verify applicants identity, thus encouraging identify fraud for undocumented immigrants and others wishing to receive taxpayer-subsidized health benefits."
Page 297 - Section 501 - "Imposes a 2.5 percent tax on all individuals who do not purchase "bureaucrat-approved" health insurance -- the tax would apply to individuals with incomes under $250,000, thus breaking a central promise of then-Senator Obama's presidential campaign."
Page 313 - Section 512 -- "Imposes an additional 8 percent "tax on jobs" for firms that cannot afford to purchase "bureaucrat-approved" health coverage; according to an analysis by Harvard Prof Kate Baicker, "such a tax would place MILLIONS at substantial risk of unemployment -- with minority workers losing their jobs at twice the rate of their white counterparts."
Page 336 - Section 551 - "Imposes additional job-killing taxes, in the form of a half-trillion dollar "surcharge", more than half of which will hit small businesses according to a model developed by President Obama's senior economic advisor. Such taxes could cost up to 5.5 MILLION jobs." $550,000 for single filers, million dollars, the income surcharge on those earners. A lot of these people are small business owners, and they file on their personal 1040 form".
Page 520 - Section 1161 -- "Cuts more than $150 BILLION from Medicare Advantage plans."
Page 733 -- Section 1401 -- "Establishes a new "Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research"; the bill includes no provisions preventing the gov't run health plan from using such research to deny access to life-saving treatments on cost grounds, similar to Britain's National Health Service, which denies patient treatments costing more than $35,000". (death panels?)
Page 1174 - Section 1802(b) -- "Includes provisions entitled "TAXES ON CERTAIN INSURANCE POLICIES" to fund comparative effectiveness research, breaking Speaker Pelosi's promise that" we will not be taxing (health) benefits in any bill that passes the House."
And this is just a scratch the surface look cause there is 1,990 pages of punitive provisions for the American people all under the guise of "compassion.
Now remind us again WHO EXACTLY IS LOOKING OUT FOR US??? Where is all that "improving" our health care system talk?? It should be called PELOSI'S PUNISH AMERICANS bill.

With a pool of 30 million people, only 1-in-5 would sign up for the government option. The rest would then buy into the private option (because the government will force everyone to carry health insurance, remember?). The theory is that less healthy people would be more drawn to the government option because they are moochers. As a result, premiums for the government plan would increase and end up being more costly than private plans.
I bet if we got rid of all the fraud in Medicare, etc. and get some tort reform there would be more than enough money to insure the 2% of the American we are talking about. Why not take the stimulus dollars that have not been spent yet and use a portion to insure these folks. Probably because it is not about insuring anyone, it is about taking it over isn't it.
You've got that right, cindi...it's all about control!

The Dems aren't about to give up the Trial Lawyer's gravy train anymore than they will give up funding ACORN because that is how they get elected. Not on their own merits of ideas, but through corruption.
The CBO (Congressional Budget Office) said of the latest Gov't Run Health care plans coming from Reid and Pelosi will only cover 2% of American's (6 million people) under the age of 65, increase taxes across the board and will ultimately raise the cost of health insurance for over 100 MILLION Americans. How is that REFORM??
The primary purpose of this exercise to begin with was to EXPAND health coverage to the "47" million without coverage and to lower costs. The bills coming out of Congress has little or nothing to do with either. But what they do accomplish which is the backdoor intent, is centralize power in Washington over 1/6 of our economy being TAKEN from the private sector a.k.a. SOCIALISM under the guise of "compassion".
This is the most fundamentally dishonest bunch of wordsmithing and dangerous as well as destructive legislation process seen in our lifetime. Don't like that word, ok, we'll just change it, not the bill, just the words. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me...would certainly apply to this.
It's been proven over and over again that it's possible to have REAL Health Care Reform, not take over, REFORM without expanding Gov't Control and at dramatically less cost but that doesn't fit in with Speaker Pelosi's left wing San Francisco values Socialism agenda and goals that keep her in office.
Everything they do is in secret. They don't publish the legislative language, hold no public hearings to help better understand the details and they have not allowed the folks in on the process that would actually be responsible for implementing this massive takeover of our Health Care system. The doctors, hospitals and auxillary health care professionals.
The dems are so wrapped up in false promises that cannot possibly be kept so instead of changing the legislation, they just find ways around the promises. A good example is the last 1,990 page bill presented, they all gathered around saying it was "deficit neutral" because the Prez vowed not to sign a bill that wasn't. What they didn't tell us is they pulled out $200 BILLION dollars in cost for doctors and wrote a seperate 13 page bill to be passed at a different time but STILL COSTING $200 BILLION DOLLARS. It doesn't get anymore dishonest than that. So why would anyone believe one word that comes from their mouths??
This is nothing more than a foot in the door attempt by the far left wing of the democratic party whose only goal is Nationalized Health Care, plain and simple. That is what Barack Hussein Obama desires as does the radical elements of his administration. It's not about health coverage, it's all about Gov't control and power. Once they get a grip on that, they can control all aspects of our lives because everything is mandated and can be connected in some fashion to your health and they sincerely believe they know what's better for us than we do because we are just too stupid to know. Our individual freedoms and liberty will fly out the window and Nancy and Harry and Barry will be running our lives for us.
Is that really acceptable to anyone?? Even if these are your guys, they are lying to you, they are playing games with your lives and your children's lives. Are you going to stand by and let that happen?? Do you not have a line you are willing to draw in the sand?? WE THE PEOPLE need to wake up and look around us before it's too late.
TOO Big REFORM -- TOO Small Results. It will break the back of America.

Pelosi Health Care Bill Blows a Kiss to Trial Lawyersby Capitol Confidential
The health care bill recently unveiled by Speaker Nancy Pelosi is over 1,900 pages for a reason. It is much easier to dispense goodies to favored interest groups if they are surrounded by a lot of legislative legalese. For example, check out this juicy morsel to the trial lawyers (page 1431-1433 of the bill):
Section 2531, entitled “Medical Liability Alternatives,” establishes an incentive program for states to adopt and implement alternatives to medical liability litigation. [But]…… a state is not eligible for the incentive payments if that state puts a law on the books that limits attorneys’ fees or imposes caps on damages.
So, you can’t try to seek alternatives to lawsuits if you’ve actually done something to implement alternatives to lawsuits. Brilliant! The trial lawyers must be very happy today!
While there is debate over the details, it is clear that medical malpractive lawsuits have some impact on driving health care costs higher.
And this surprises you, why? We have known for some time that these ambulance chasing lawyers have contributed millions, upon millions, upon millions to the Democrats and the Democrats are in their pocket and this is just the way to pay the lawyers back - otherwise known as pay to play, the new theme for this administration.

Congress Healthcare Plan - FOR THEMSELVES (not us). You know that Co-op thing they are always bragging about....well here are some reasons why the can brag. They have 5 PRIVATE INSURER (Not GOV'T RUN HEALTHCARE) plans from which to choose, some of the benefits....
No coverage limit
Pre-existing conditions aren't a problem
Physician's clinic inside Capitol with access 24 hrs a day
VIP Hospital treatment -- the best health care offered in the United States
Lawmakers own extravagant health care plans and will not be taxed
Outpatient Care for free
On-site physical therapy
Attending Physician benefit program
All Primary Care they want for $42 a month including minor surgery and x-rays
So, now do we understand why they are working so feverishly in getting something through for the American People?? Because they want us to have what they have, right?? NO, not even close. This is John Edwards "TWO AMERICA'S" on steroids. The upper echelon lawmakers are treated like royalty while the poor taxpayer slobs in America are working their a$$es off to pay for it and yet they WANT MORE. They have their dirty little fingers in our pockets more and more each time they go behind closed doors and we don't have a clue what is coming next. Thousands of pages of taxes, fines, penalties, Gov't intrusion into our private life and health care decisions. AND THEY AREN'T EVEN READING IT. They whine that it is TOO HARD. Transparency?? Now that's funny. President Procrastinator should take that comedy show on the road.
