This is something very important in which we have less than 24 hours to act on.

This has to do with the way they are planning to insert a healthcare bill into another bill tomorrow and push it directly through the Senate and House with no debate, no discussion, even no reading of the bill.

The Baucus bill is getting passed out of the finance committee. It will happen. The vote will be 13-10 or 14-9, depending on what Snowe does. It can’t be stopped from coming out of committee.

RINOS will sell us out as I have been predicting for a good while.

Those of us on Tricare For Life (military health care) + Medicare part B are going to get double whammied with the cuts and increases in co-pays. O really cares for our senior citizens doesn't he....and NO pay raise for those of us on SS for the next 2 years, BUT congress gave themselves a hefty pay raise and MORE perk money.

This from a google search: http://economicspolitics.blogspot.com/2009/05/tricare-for-life-is-obama-trying-to.html

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.)

My congress critter totally supports this crap. No chance to vote him out either, unless you want the NUT case former mayor of Memphis in his place.
