THE NEXT FIGHT-HEALTHCARE

OK EVERYONE, I GUESS WHILE WE CONTINUE TO BATTLE AGAINST CAP & TRADE THE ISSUE OF HEALTH CARE WILL BE COMING UP.....SO SOME OF MY RAMBLINGS....OR FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

NO ONE IN THE USA IS DENIED ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, EVEN ILLEGALS.
AS OF NOW, EMPLOYEES DO NOT PAY TAX ON EMPLOYER PROVIDED HEALTH INSURANCE AND COMPANIES ARE ABLE TO WRITE THE EXPENSES OFF. OBAMA CARE WILL MANDATE, WE BE TAXED ON THE VALUE OF THE INSURANCE PROVIDED AND EMPLOYERS WILL LOSE THIS DEDUCTION. WHY WOULD EMPLOYERS CONTINUE TO PROVIDE HEALTH INSURANCE? THIS WOULD THEN FORCE EMPLOYEES TO FIND ALTERNATIVE HEALTH INSURANCE AND MOST LIKELY THE GOVT SOCIALIZED HEALTH CARE AND THE PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES WOULD GO OUT BUSINESS.

MEDICARE AND MEDICAID IS WROUGHT WITH FRAUD AND CORRUPTION. IF THEY ACTUALLY SPENT THE TIME WEEDING OUT THE FRAUDS, THERE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE SOME MONEY IN THERE. HOWEVER, THE PEOPLE WHO SEE THE FRAUD FIRST HAND, HEALTH CARE WORKERS, HAVE THEIR HANDS TIED BY HIPPA. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO REPORT MEDICAID FRAUD SUCH AS LIVING IN ONE STATE AND COLLECTING MEDICAID FROM ANOTHER OR MAYBE EVEN BOTH. THE GOVERNMENT BODY IS NOT CAPABLE OR WILLING TO MANAGE THESE PROGRAMS. IT IS TOO POLITICAL AND THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR POWER.

BE READY, PROGRAM YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND SENATORS PHONE NUMBERS IN YOUR PHONE AND CALL EARLY AND CALL OFTEN. MAYBE START WITH THEIR HOME OFFICES WHILE THEY ARE OUT OF DC . SOONER OR LATER, YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD FIGURE OUT THAT WE ARE SICK OF THEIR "WE KNOW BETTER" ATTITUDES AND WE WILL VOTE THEM ALL OUT AT FIRST CHANCE.

ANYONE GOING TO TEA PARTIES THIS WEEKEND? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A TEA PARTY ON THE CAPITOL STEPS!! :) HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY EVERYONE
