Call Ben Nelson, Joe Lieberman, Mary Landrieu and the White House. You may phone the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. You may phone the White House switchboard at 202-456-1414. It’s not too late. The American people deserve to know whats in the $1 Trillion secret Health Care bill! There is still time. Max Baucus (D) of Montana and Kent Conrad (D) of North Dakota, both leaders in writing the Health Care legislation, voted with the Republicans to stop The CLASS ACT, a giant ponzi scheme that only taxes enough to cover the first few years of “guaranteed” long term care, and then will either crash, or raid the General Treasury. That vote failed when moderates and conservatives could only get 51 votes to stop it. Remember that the next time Leftists scream hypocritically about Senate rules.
Don’t listen to scare tactics. There is no common ground with someone who believes that making yourself responsible for your health care, instead of making government responsible for your health care, is selfish. The benefits don’t kick in until 2014 but it HAS TO pass Christmas of 2009, before YOU realize what’s in it. It hasn’t happened yet. Call.
Let’s see.
My vote is “not for sale” Or “I cannot be bought.”
Is that true Senator Nelson?
Or, “let’s make a deal.” And I am not referring to a popular TV program.
“Currently, Medicaid expenses in all 50 states are being paid partly by the State Government using State Tax, and partly funded by Federal Government. But if this bill passes, the “Senator Ben Nelson vote purchase bribe” would make the tax payers of all other 49 states (excluding Nebraska) pay 100% for all of Nebraska’s new Medicaid recipients. The federal Government will pay 100% for all of Nebraska’s new Medicaid recipients.
This is also a sweet bribe given that states are struggling to meet Medicaid costs. If this bill goes through, Nebraska will be the only state that gets this sweet deal of all other State’s citizens paying 100% for Nebraska’s new Medicaid recipients. The Citizens of other 49 states will not only be paying for their own Medicaid program, but will also be forced to pay for 100% of Nebraska’s new Medicaid recipients.
This bribe to Senator Ben Nelson may far exceed the $300 million bribe that Harry Reid paid for the “Louisiana Purchase” to Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana to buy her vote for the bill cloture.”
“Special interests” are more than paid lobbyists walking the halls of Congress. It’s the members themselves.
I as a user of medical care I want my cost to be as low as possible, and the only way I can get that is with a public option.
