Headline: Health care costs to grow under overhaul

"Democrats trying to push President Obama?s health care overhaul plan through the Senate got a sober warning yesterday that costs will keep going up and proposed Medicare savings may harm the program."
Headline: Health care costs to grow under overhaul
Date: Dec 14, 2009
"Democrats trying to push President Obama?s health care overhaul plan through the Senate got a sober warning yesterday that costs will keep going up and proposed Medicare savings may harm the program."
While both Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) refuse to even consider tort reform as a way to lower health care costs for consumers, they are looking elsewhere for ways to save. That includes a provision that would allow insurance companies to place annual limits on the dollar value of medical care, as long as those limits are not "unreasonable." The definition of "unreasonable" will be left up to federal government bureaucrats. This rationing provision was added into Sen. Reid's current version of health care overhaul and would be shouldered by anyone dealing with costly illnesses such as cancer or diabetes. .
Blocks your right to purchase insurance across state lines
21% payback to doctors to offset their reduced fees
Artificial rebate scheme to pay insurance and drug companies
Attempts to force all between 55 and up to have government pay the first 80% of all medical bills in a scheme similar to Medicaire
For those of us in the pro-family business, it's more than a little ironic that Congress calls it an Omnibus, since it's becoming the biggest vehicle for social change. Check out the major values shift underway in H.R. 3288:
Abortion: For the first time in 13 years, taxpayers will be forced to fork over money for abortions performed in the nation's capital.
Medical Marijuana: On top of D.C. abortions, the bill also authorizes the District to use local funds for a medical marijuana program.
Domestic Partner Benefits: H.R. 3288 opens a new funding stream for "partners" of D.C. employees.
Sex Education: Farewell to abstinence! The Omnibus zeros out "save sex" programs and replaces them with $110 million in condom promotion.
Planned Parenthood and Friends: After the $10 million boost for Title X funding, Planned Parenthood is expected to be the biggest recipient of the Fed's $317.5 million pool.
Exporting Family Planning: Under the current language, the U.S. would open up the spigots ($703.5 million) to overseas groups like the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) that promote abortion.
The budget still needs Senate approval, so contact your leaders and ask them to steer this Omnibus back to respectability!

Fact #20: Tie the Knot, Get Roped into More Taxes
As we pointed out before, expect to be punished by Senator Harry Reid's (D-Nev.) health care bill if you're married. Payroll taxes would impose an extra 0.5% payroll tax on married couples with more than $250,000 in wages and individuals with more than $200,000 in wages. That's a huge marriage penalty. Two cohabitating people could make $200,000 each before getting taxed while married couples would get taxed at $250,000. Senator Reid's message couldn't be clearer: Penalize taxpayers for saying "I do" and reward a liberal agenda with surplus tax dollars instead.

it is estimated that a federal bureaucracy of more than 150,000 new employees will be required to administer HB3200.
NOW, here comes the good stuff: "Other problems I have with this bill include:
Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.
Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual's bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.
Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN).
Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?)
Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors' fees.
Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient's age. (AND YOU THOUGHT SARAH PALIN WAS WRONG ABOUT "DEATH PANELS?")
Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception.
Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years. [DEATH PANELS (SQUADS)]
Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order."
HAD ENOUGH???? Judge Kithil then goes on: " Finally, it is specifically stated this bill will not apply to members of Congress. Members of Congress are already exempt from the Social Security system and have a well-funded private plan that covers their retirement needs. If they were on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick "fix" to make the plan financially sound for the future."

All of the above should give you all the point blank ammo you need to support your opposition to Obamacare.

See the Wall Street Journal news article about a little-noticed provision buried deep in both the House and Senate health-care reform bills that is intended to save billions of dollars?but instead will hurt millions of seniors, impose new costs on taxpayers, and charge employers millions in new taxes: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100014240527487041071045745699302
I want to share with you some details about the reality of this health care reform bill.
As to the House version:
As to the House version:
The abortion issue is the Achilles heel of this terrible legislation.
That's why we need you to tell your Senator to block this pro-abortion bill.
The passage of the pro-life amendment championed by Bart Stupak (D-MI) in the House has thrown the pro-abortion Democrats into disarray. Diana DeGette (D-CO), the co-chair of the pro-choice caucus, has warned Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) that pro-abortion Representatives would rather defeat the health care bill than allow the Stupak Amendment to pass.
In other words, pro-abortion Democrats would rather risk the wholesale defeat of health care reform than allow a ban on abortion funding.
This will give a golden opportunity for a coalition of Republicans and pro-life Democrats to defeat the bill on final passage in the House of Representatives.
This is the reason that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are so focused on attempting to include abortion funding in the Senate bill. From their perspective, the Stupak Amendment is a poison pill that must be removed in the Senate for health care reform to have any hope of passing in the House.
However, Ben Nelson (D-NE) has said he is drafting language like the Stupak Amendment on the floor of the Senate and is threatening to block the bill as long as it includes abortion funding.
Tell your Senators to stand with Ben Nelson on his decision to stop this legislation.

Democrat Senators Vote 54-45 to Fund Child Killing
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, strengthen the backbone of Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE), who vowed to join a Republican filibuster and stop the entire Senate Health Care bill, after the Democrat majority voted 54-45 to table Nelson?s semi-pro-life amendment, that could have de-funded most abortions. Instead they will fully fund elective abortions with our tax-dollars, as two RINO Republican Senators Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Susan Collins (R-ME) voted for child-killing. God call them to repent and stand firm against the entire socialist bill. From Proverbs 6:17, God hates hands that shed innocent blood, in Jesus name, Amen.

Victory? New Jersey Gay Marriage Vote Delayed Indefinitely
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, thank You for hearing our prayer from December 7th and postponing indefinitely the vote to legalize sod omite marriage in New Jersey. Thank you for mobilizing our people who called those three NJ Republicans last week, because two apparently stood firm, and one did not, but we still won, so pro-homosexual Democrats postponed their vote indefinitely, because they knew they would lose. From Daniel 6:22 God sent the angels to shut the mouths of the lions who would devour His people and oppress His ways, in Jesus Name, Amen.

$10,000 Marriage Penalty in House, Senate Health Care Bills
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, we pray You stop the Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) ?Health? Care amendment to H.R. 3590 that seeks to punish married couples, but reward those living in unmarried sin, by a difference of $10,000 more per year in taxes. God we see how most Democrats in our national Congress want to attack and destroy the institution of marriage, so we pray you empower the mostly pro-family Republicans to victory, from Hebrews 13:4: marriage should be honored by all, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral, in Jesus Name, Amen.

CBS Airs Perverted ?Frosty the Snowman?
Let Us Pray.

These people attempt to lure children into their sexual perversion using cartoons, so we pray Jesus words from Matthew 18:6, whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Mayor Taylor of Maryville acted cowardly, silencing the scripture reading out of fear of imaginary complainers. Now censored Christians are boycotting the event.
