Rather than post the entire foolish set of BS, here are the outlines--- and the outright lies
"Passage of health-care reform will be defining moment for US"
By U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords
Special to the Arizona Daily Star: Published: 11.06.2009
It was 45 years ago that Congress passed the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 — a historic measure that for the first time outlawed all racial segregation in schools, public places and employment. We are poised to make another historic decision that for the first time would guarantee access to health care for all Americans.
NO, It will guarantee that the working people in America pay for healthcare for the lazy welfare and illegal aliens who do not work.
Make no mistake, this is not a perfect bill. But the town halls I recently held throughout Arizona's 8th Congressional District made clear to me that we cannot let our efforts to confront this crisis get lost amid partisan bickering.
NO - Did you not listen to 90% of Townhall attendees who were against this idiocy?
• It will not add to our nation's debt and deficit. In fact, the bill is estimated to lower the deficit by up to $100 billion over 10 years.
NO- There is no person who passed 5th grade math who does not know this will be a huge tax paying increase
• 135,000 Medicare recipients in my district will benefit from lower drug costs through the closing of the Medicare Part D "doughnut hole" and allowing Medicare to negotiate with drug makers for lower drug prices.
NO- Every medicare recipient will have their healthcare rationed by government bureaucrats.
• 400,000 Southeastern Arizonans who currently receive health-care coverage from their employers will be able to keep their existing insurance coverage.
NO - If and only if the government bureaucrats approve the policy.
46,000 people in my district who are currently uninsured will be able to obtain insurance at a reasonable cost.
NO - Paid for by us!
It includes tort reform initiatives that offer incentives to states that implement changes to traditional medicalmalpractice laws.
NO - Complete BS. It penalizes any state that puts caps on lawsuits.
More than 13,000 small businesses in my district will be able to receive tax credits to provide health insurance for their employees.
NO - Small businesses will go out of business!
We must not forget this underlying and undeniable fact: Our health-care system is failing us.
HORSE POOP - Where is it better?
Like the Civil Rights Act of a generation ago, the Affordable Health Care for America Act has ignited passionate debate in Arizona and across the country. It is a debate worth having. But like the debate of 45 years ago, I believe this will be a defining moment of equality in America.
HORSE POOP - It will be a defining moment in the end of America!
It is a screwtopia.
Passed by republicans, with most democrats voting against the bill.
Jesse Kelly is running against this awful wonam. Even though I live in California, I’ve contributed to his campaign.
By voting for this bill Giffords will vote herself into the unemployment line next year. She is no “Blue Dog” she is a left wing Lap Dog.
