Half Time Reflections on the Health Care Summit

I have been watching the bipartisan health care summit on and off, and I have made a few observations. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated, "Health Care reform is an entitlement reform." Well, that has become self-evident in this health care "debate", that Democrats think that health care is an entitlement. Well, who has paid for the Democrats' other entitlement programs over the years? Hard-working tax payers. The tax payers in America have had enough, and are not willing to dole out their hard-earned money for another entitlement program which will only massively increase in size in future years. There actually hasn't been much transparency during the Obama presidency, as Obama promised during the campaign. In fact, I feel like he and Democrats threw their cars into reverse and hit the accelator, had more corrupt backdoor deals than has ever been done in American history, ignored the American people, and has been bull headed in trying to shove this bill down our throats. Sen. Harry Reid tried to pin his facts versus Sen. Lamar Alexander's facts like he has the moral high ground, when he doesn't. Reid was clearly playing the compassion card instead of of facts and reality. Its lovely (sarcasm) how he likes to extend compassion to others with other tax payers' money. Rep. Steney Hoyer looked like he was bored and wanted to slap the f**k out of Reid when he was shooting his mouth off.


It is clear that Republicans have their A-Team at the summit. They sent physicians that really know their stuff. Obama and the Democrats are trying to distort reality by making it appear that the Republicans are in agreement on most issues with the Democrats, when that couldn't be further from the truth. There are major fundamental philosophical differences between Democrats and Republicans on how to solve the affordability and accessibility issues within health care today. The Democrats believe that government should control our lives, make our health care decisions, and the government makes better health care decisons, or decisons period, than the individual person. On the other hand, the Republicans believe in the intelligence of the individual, keeping and promoting individual freedoms that are in line with our Constitution, and that the individual makes much better decisions with his own money than our government has or ever will.

President Obama said that the CBO stated that the Democratic health reform bills will reduce costs. Sen. Lamar Alexander replied that the CBO stated that the bill will increase costs to consumers or patients. Who was right? Sen. Lamar Alexander was correct. Fox News political correspondent Jim Angle did research and found out that the CBO did in fact state that health insurance premiums would increase by 10 to 13 percent, and that was with having the same type of coverage that you have now. Well, we'll see what happens in the third and fourth quarters.

Grayson, Progressives & Obama Will Use "Trick" to Pass Health Care

"Here's the "trick" that Obama, Pelosi and Reid are planning to use to ram ObamaCare through: it's called "reconciliation". As the Wall Street Journal explains, "House Democrats would pass a series of 'fixes' to the Senate bill. The Senate would then pass the House reconciliation bill, sending amendments to President Obama to a bill that -- strictly speaking -- didn't exist, because it hadn't yet emerged from the House. The House would then retroactively pass the Senate bill as is."

The President's "bi-partisan" health care summit has never been about compromise. This is only being done to give that perception. The Democrats are still planning on ignoring the American peoples' wishes. The Democrats are still planning to shove this bill down our throat using any means possible. So, now, Obama and the Democrats are going to use the dirty trick called reconciliation when this procedure is not meant to be used for new programs, but in fact used to make changes to existing programs. If they wanted to extend medicare/medicaid benefits to the 15% of citizens who are unhappy about their health care accessibility than that would be okay. But, they are using dirty, rotten alinsky tactics to sneak this bill through so that that can have both power and control over an additional 1/6th of the economy and our lives. These liberals are the most intrusive people and are intent on taking away our freedom and liberty via the health care bill. This is corruption of the worst kind. These dirty, rotten scoundrels must be stopped!! These politicians who want to shred our constitution and "remake" our country into some type of commie land must be stopped!! We must stop the progressives and save our country from tyranny. As you will see in this video, Alan Grayson and progressives are pushing for both the public option and to push the bill through by way of reconciliation.
