24 Million left uninsured at a cost of 2.5 Trillion???

S. Lindsey's picture

The US Senate Budget Committee has said the true cost of Healthcare will rise exponentially starting in 2014 to 2.5 Trillion and rise dramatically from there.

“SEN. MAX BAUCUS (D-MT): “Just for a second -- health care reform, whether you use a ten-year number or when you start in 2010 or start in 2014, wherever you start at, so it is still either $1 trillion or it's $2.5 Trillion, depending on where you start…” (Sen. Baucus, Floor Remarks, 12/2/09)”

500 Billion in new taxes and by 2019 still leave 24 Million un-covered.

So exactly what are we buying?

We start paying taxes in 2010 but do not start getting benefits until 2014. This massive takeover of our economy is at best un-constitutional. Where in the Constitution does it say the Government can force a Citizen to buy anything? But yet in this bill you will pay a fine or go to jail if you do not buy the new Government approved insurance.

Public Option Gone.. Expanded Medicare Gone. Taxpayer paid Abortions well they saved that one.. I mean we can’t stop killing babies after all.. That takes money so they have to fund that one.

What is happening to our Government? I thought they all took an oath to protect the Constitution. Now when a reporter asks Pelosi where in the Constitution any of this is allowed her response: “Are you serious?” Others say we have Legal people to sort it all out.

Mary Landrieu (D-La) sells her vote for 300 Million dollars of OUR MONEY.

Rahm Emanual and the White house is now threatening our National Strategic Air Command to force Democrat Ben Nelson to play along and vote Obama’s way..

If not they threatened to have the base put on the closure list.. It is in Nebraska for a reason. It is in the Center of the Country for Strategic purposes, but the Whitehouse would rather threaten our National Security just to get a yes vote.

The air of Corruption and Greed and back room deals smells. Nothing has CHANGEd and there is little HOPE for doing so.

One fact remains absolutely true..

Politicians LIE.

Why do we let them? Why do they just keep getting re-elected over and over. A choice was made in November 08. A mistake. People fell for the rhetoric the talking points and Main Stream Media blitz.

Did anyone really realize that in less than a year we would have a tripling of the debt?

A Bill with over 8000 earmarks for Billions of dollars of pork barrel spending.. not once but twice.

The Government takeover of GM, Chrysler and Banks.

Billions wasted on bailouts.

A takeover of 1/6th of our GDP called Universal Healthcare.

Cap and Trade that will cost 145 Trillion dollars cost jobs and choke small businesses.

Communist, Radicals and Mao sympathizers in the Whitehouse all writing and influencing policy?

A total bowing to Unions bailouts for all..

A total trashing of the Constitution.

Where do we go from here? We have 3 more years of this.. and it can only get worse. 2010 may well usher in a new party. At the very least it should bring in new leadership in a leaderless Government.

These People Are Writing Our Tax Policy

Communist, Radicals and Mao sympathizers in the Whitehouse all writing and influencing policy?

Timothy (Tax Cheat) Geitner & Charlie Rangel are writing future tax laws and aiding Obama in taking over control over our financial institutions.

Where is the outrage from the Left regarding This Tax Cheat Pirate and the fact that he now controls and influences this country's spending and tax policy?

So it would go for Charlie Rangel over the next four decades — a pattern of tax evasion, special treatment and enrichment that seemed to increase with his power and prestige in Congress. Whether it’s living in rent-stabilized apartments while making a hefty salary, or failing to disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars in earnings and assets, his actions betray a consistent, defiant sense of entitlement. And when he is caught, the powerful Democrat blames a right-wing conspiracy.

No wonder, that instead of healing our economic woes, we have a government populated with pirates that are greedily plundering the spoils of their recent victory. I have difficulty these days differentiating between our Federal Government and Somalian Pirates. The only people benefiting from all this are the pirates that are on the government payroll with their lucrative raises, insurance, retirements job security and incomes that far exceed those in the private sector.

Scare Tactics
Joe Kawfi's picture
Submitted by Joe Kawfi on Thu, 12/17/2009 - 6:57am.

The President used scare tactics once again by stating that he guaranteed that insurance premiums will go up if his bill doesn't pass. That's the equivelant of stating that the sun will rise tomorrow. Under President Obama's incompetent "leadership", the cost of everything will go up due to the hyperinflation that will come as a result of his irresponsible fiscal policy. President Obama is a complete buffoon with intent on destroying our country.

On Top Of That...

Obama tells Charlie Gibson:

The president said that the costs of Medicare and Medicaid are on an “unsustainable” trajectory and if there is no action taken to bring them down, “the federal government will go bankrupt.”

Medical costs are NOT going to be 'brought down' with Obama, Pelosi and Reed taking over the healthcare industry. The ONLY way they will ever accomplish controlling healthcare costs will be by denying treatments to the American taxpayers. Wonder if they'll actually deny treatments to their voting base? Perhaps they will. After they amass enough power to not need the peasants anymore. Then Harry Reid can banish us all from the Capitol so he won't have to smell us anymore. I'll bet he can't wait to 'caste' us out of his presence.

Deny treatments? No way

Liberals think abortion is some sacred right that is up there high on their list of freedoms - next to sodomy and welfare.

So of course we want them treated with as many free abortions as they want. The fewer liberal offspring, the better the country. Can you imagine how much better life would be if certain people's parents opted for an abortion 45 or 50 years ago? Encourage them. Childless liberal couples are the goal. They'll die off in 2 or 3 generations.

Only catch is being sure the Hispanics don't cling to the Democratic Party like some other minorities. They are religious, hard working, have jobs, should be pro-life as Catholics - got all the bases covered for them to vote Republican.

Why Vote Republican Mudcat?
Git Real's picture
Submitted by Git Real on Thu, 12/17/2009 - 8:00am.

When they are currently embracing earmarks while giving lip service to reigning in the debt. Sounds just like a Democrat to me.

As freaking bad as the Democrats have proved to be I honestly can't see the Republican's 'saving the day' with their thirst for wasteful spending and big government still intact.

But you are absolutely right on their sacred cow known as abortion.

Regarding the Republicans.... I don't want a tiny bandaid on massive open wound. I want 'healing' and I want 'The Cure'.

Voting Republican isn't a pleasant choice but....

it is the only type of vote that outs the Democrats who kowtow to Obama.

Agree, their spending is as foolish as the Dems, but they don't endanger the country like the Dems do. Exhibit A - closing an Air Force base to intimidate a Senator for a health care vote.

We don't have the luxury of a third party - takes too much time. All we need to do is get some balance back in Congress so the extremists on both sides are absent from the decision-making table.

Dems put American Lives at risk to pass "healthcare" bill
Joe Kawfi's picture
Submitted by Joe Kawfi on Thu, 12/17/2009 - 8:41am.

The Obama administration has little left to use for leverage. Why not national security? After all, if we’re going to bring terrorists into Illinois, what does it matter if we put the US Strategic Command on wheels for a few years?

When it passes, it will be a hollow victory for dems. They have their marching orders. Their ruler has told them to pass "something", it doesn't matter what - heck, they're "making history" here! Besides that, Obama needs it to be able to say that he actually accomplished something. It's not about healthcare - it never was. It's all about political power and nothing else. If the dems really cared for and believed in what they were fighting for, they would stand their ground and fight for what they want based on principle.
