This is actually in the bill.
“• Sec. 224 (p. 118) provides that 18 months after the bill becomes law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services will decide what a “qualified plan” covers and how much you’ll be legally required to pay for it. That’s like a banker telling you to sign the loan agreement now, then filling in the interest rate and repayment terms 18 months later.”

Good HATRED ... I like it! ;*)
to assure we don’t send the headache that is Crist to DC.
I for one want to THANK YOU VERY MUCH for that!!!
BTW, I saw "our friend" again at the Wake Up Ohio rally Oct. 25th. He told me not to go away because he wanted to talk to me. I informed him about the briefing you gave me on his tactics and how he got me in trouble with you. He of course denied it. Too bad really...he has a decent plan and there is a lot of interest here in Ohio.
Yes it is!! Thanks for calling.
Excellent! Marked my list!
Thanks for pointing this out and for the link to the article.
Sounds like a name worth remembering!
I firmly believe that our health care system is in need of reform.
Yes it does. It needs to get the government out of the insurance and medical industries and get rid of the over regulation of same.
The majority of the population obtains their health insurance through their employer
Yes, by government mandate or unions with the backing of the federal government.
Health care spending also consumes a larger and larger percentage of the federal government’s budget each year...
Deport the 40 million illegal alien invaders and watch that percentage drop precipitously.
When the Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) program was added to Medicaid in 1987, it was expected to cost $1 Billion in 1992. The actual cost in 1992 was $17 Billion.
I have never heard of DSH. Good info to have.
The bill mandates that everyone in America purchase health insurance...
The b-turds have NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY to do any such thing! They will have to kill me because I will NOT purchase their damn health insurance and I most certainly will not pay a fine or be hauled off to re-education camp.
This would lead to an unfortunate politicization of the practice of medicine...
unfortunate politicization -- don't wimp out on us now, Congressman. This would lead to the complete SOCIALIZATION of the practice of medicine. One more segment controlled by the government.
Reports that the military has already inoculated terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay with the seasonal flu vaccine when many Americans are having difficulty obtaining this vaccine for themselves
I cannot tell you how angry this makes me! Why the hell are TERRORISTS being inoculated, at my expense? How would they have an opportunity to get the flu in lock up? Do they go on field trips? Not that I would be surprised if they did. Let the b-turds get the flu and die! It would save us millions in housing and execution costs.
I sincerely hope that in the coming days, the American public will come to understand that, while this legislation may have the best intentions, it would inflict much harm on the country.
Oh, the American public understands all too well! Perhaps he has failed to note the number of national Tea Parties since last February. Or the angry Town Hall meetings last August. Or the mother of all "understanding" -- the 912 March on DC when 1.7 million Americans marched on DC to tell them, loud and clear, in one voice, that WE UNDERSTAND!
Also, the American public is not ignorant enough to believe for one minute that there is a single item in this commie deathcare bill that has the best intentions for the American people contained within its 2000 pages.
I have advocated a number of reforms, such as allowing interstate purchasing of insurance...
Who forbid it in the first place??? President Bush and Congressman Duncan Hunter advocated this for 8 years.
real medical liability reform, and ending the tax discrimination against individuals who purchase health insurance independent of their employer, that could be implemented incrementally that would immediately begin to bring down the cost of health care and preserve the patient-doctor relationship.
Again, President Bush and Congressman Hunter advocated Tort Reform for years.
Forget the incremental implementation...get your hands off my body/healthcare...PERIOD!
If we all agree on the principles that health care should be portable, affordable, sustainable, effective, and innovative, then I am confident that Congress can enact the targeted reforms that are necessary for the future of America.
I am not confident that CONgre$$ can do anything right at this point! Simply remove the federal government from healthcare, where they have no business to begin with, and watch affordability, effectiveness and innovation return to the health care industry.
Thanks again for posting Congessman Garrett's e-mails.
That’s a great sign. I love it!
Thanks for the ping!
Wish we had more like him.
Thanks for the info! I will be passing this on to the “Warren County Teaparty Patriot’s”. Maybe you could think about joining us. We are small, since we just formed in August. We meet at Louie’s Pizza across from Lugi’s Rancho on Rt. 46.
The more I hear from Scott the more I like him too. When our group went down on Thursday to meet with him, he and his staff couldn’t have been more helpful.
NJ’s 5th District is in good hands with Scott!

Just called NM Congressman Teague’s office and spoke to a polite young man and told him that I did not support the Pelosi health care bill and started to tell him why. Before I got too far he told me that the Congressman would be voting no. Let’s hope some last-minute arm twisting will not change his mind.
