Senate health care bill: enough to make you sick

Trial Lawyers made out like bandits in Senate Health Care Bill

It’s enough to make you sick.

The mad dash to cram a government takeover of America’s health-care system – one-sixth of the US economy -- has left lots of taxpayers sick. Congress has outdone itself in the category of outrageous legislative payoffs, even by congressional standards.

Some states got exempted from paying for some of the expansions, while those of us in other states will be left holding the bag – along with their costs.

But few groups make out better under the congressional leadership’s health-care plans than personal-injury trial lawyers.

In reading the health-care bill approved by the House of Representatives and Harry Reid’s bill pending in the Senate, Nixon found (so far) 26 new opportunities for plaintiff lawyers to sue doctors for malpractice.

Update on Socialized Medicin

And some folks would call Senator Reid an idiot … Sen. Harry Reid, speaking on the floor of the Senate Saturday night, said: “Today we vote whether to even discuss one of the greatest issues of our generation - indeed, one of the greatest issues this body has ever face: whether this nation will finally guarantee its people the right to live free from the fear of illness and death, which can be prevented by decent health care for all.”

Gee, we didn't know 60 senators could accomplish all that….guaranteeing us the right to live free from death!

Texas Congressional members had input on health care legislation… but even with that, it is a bitter pill to swallow…

Texas doctors don’t support Reid’s Senate bill
The Texas Medical Association said the Senate bill is “bad medicine” for their patients: http://www.texmed.org/Template.aspx?id=8201

Harry Reid gives us no options at all - that is just not acceptable

It has been posted on the Internet that Reid has saidHealth Care Bill will Include a Public Option.

Thats right -- Majority Leader Harry Reid says health care legislation headed to the Senate floor will include an option for government-run insurance. Reid noted that polls show widespread public support for giving the government a role in the overhauled health care system.

LOL - excuse me for laughing out loud. Reid thinks the public wants socialized medicane in the U.S? What has Harry been smoking?

First, Americans don't trust government to deliver our health care -- we don't trust government to do much of anything now.

Second, the government "option" won't be an option at all but would be a mandate -- first, get insurance or you will be fined; second, the government insurance WILL squeeze out private healthcare plans. So if you have insurance now and like it, say "bye bye" to your insurance. You WILL ultimately end on the government plan, you will be taxed more for it, our children will be bankrupt by it, and you will find your health care will be rationed.

That is the option Harry Reid wants to give us. No option at all...and that just isn't acceptable. Health care decisions are life and death - and we don't want government to be in charge of that! Say NO to the government putting a bureaucrat between you and your doctor - if you have not done so yet, sign the petition at www.HandsOffMyHealthCare.com

And mark your calendar for Nov 5 and make an "office visit" to your district congressional office and let them know you don't want a government take-over of our health care system.
