ANGRY about "Obamacare" -- Obama's attempt to socialize our health care system!
All you have to do is take a look at some of these Town Hall meetings... where the Members of Congress are finally facing the WRATH of their constituents for what they're doing to us!
If you can, check with your Congressman's http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml
and Senators' district offices http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm?OrderBy=state&Sort=ASC so that you can attend YOUR local Health Care Town Hall meeting -- or, if your Congressman isn't having one or is already WITH US on these big issues, find the closest Town Hall meeting to you, and go to it to support your fellow patriots!

Barack Obama keeps insisting that "we have to do something NOW" about our "health care crisis" in America, to "stem the rising costs of health care." But isn't that what he said about his so-called "stimulus" package -- the one that is now costing in the TRILLIONS of dollars, and isn't helping anything -- in fact, is making our economy WORSE?
FoxNews reported that the Congressional Budget Office has projected that the House legislation will cost $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion over 10 years, depending on the plan adopted. The price tag sent shock waves through Washington and beyond -- as it SHOULD. But the CBO can only project out 10 years by law. Other projections based on CBO's numbers and extending into the future show the bill could EXPLODE the deficit once the benefits are fully implemented. One estimate by the Republican staff of the House Ways and Means Committee estimated the deficit would increase by $759 billion over the first 10 years the benefits are fully in effect, which is in 2015.
Another projection of long-range costs done by congressional staff shows deficits in the 2020s of $50 billion to $250 billion per year. On top of that, while Obama and his supporters claim the legislation will be "deficit neutral," one senior administration official acknowledged Tuesday that the pledge does not apply to an estimated $245 billion to increase fees for doctors serving Medicare patients over the next decade. We can't AFFORD Obama's plan to socialize health care in America!
Obama and the liberal Democrats in Congress are trying to insist that their plans for the government to take over health care in America isn't "socialized medicine" -- but the fact is, socialized medicine exists to the extent that government controls medical resources and socializes the costs. And that's exactly what "Obamacare" will do! Everyone, even leftists, admit that Obama's plan for "public option" health insurance is simply a giant step towards "single payer" health insurance -- which is short-hand for a health care system, like Canada's, where the government pays all the bills.
As far back as 2003, Obama stated very plainly, "I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer, universal health care plan." Universal coverage is impossible without coercion; that's why the leading Democratic proposals would FORCE Americans to obtain health insurance, either on their own or through an employer. And what if you don't WANT to get the level of coverage that government officials mandate? You pay a fine. And what if you DON'T pay the fine? You go to jail.
There's absolutely ZERO evidence that anything beyond a basic health plan actually improves health outcomes, yet the individual and employer mandates that Obama and his cronies are trying to pass gradually make coverage less affordable by outlawing the leaner, less expensive plans. And you can be sure of this: if Congress enacts these mandates, we can say goodbye to health savings accounts as we know them.
And on top of all of this... the fact remains that we can't AFFORD this plan! In the face of an estimated $1.85 trillion federal budget deficit for FY2009 and projected trillion dollar annual deficits for the foreseeable future, how can anyone in Congress vote for this health care plan, which will cost at least $1 trillion over the next ten years? Plus, Congress is facing at least $53 trillion of unfunded liabilities due to its passage of the previous entitlement programs, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the recent addition of prescription drug coverage for Medicare. How can anyone in Congress vote for a new entitlement program for health care when Congress has not even begun to face up to this unfunded liabilities problem?
We're starting to win. Please, take action right away to STOP this bill dead in its tracks!
Sincerely, Alan M. GottliebChairman, AmeriPAC
P.S. America needs health care reform. But new government programs, mandates, and price controls would deny patients control over their most important and personal medical decisions -- and it's "reform" that we cannot afford. THIS ATTEMPT BY LIBERALS IS OUTRAGEOUS -- and it MUST be stopped! If you can, please attend YOUR Congressman's local town hall meeting to make your voice heard.
