SAMPLE LETTER
FISCAL CONCERNS ABOUT HEALTHCARE BILL

I hope you recognize that the “public insurance option” in the proposed Health Care Refore bill closely mirrors the debate they had in Tennessee 16 years ago. With expanding Medicaid costs and a huge big uninsured population, they created TennCare to provide universal coverage.

TennCare resulted in the most expensive Medicaid program in the country. Within a few years, 45% percent of the people on TennCare were folks who had previously been insured by their employers. The employers had made a perfectly logical decision: dumping their employees into the public plan.

Employers who are paying 12% of their costs now to their employees’ health care will look at “ObamaCare”’s 8% penalty for employers who don’t provide care and immediately dump their employees on the public to save 4%. Those on private insurance ALREADY pay more than the cost of care to subsidize Medicare and Medicaid –-- now we’ll be required to pay EVEN MORE to subsidize the new public plan.

When private insurers won’t be able to compete with a government-run plan, they’ll crash. Then the majority of Americans will simply end up with no choice: just one government-run program. And, with no alternatives, the government-run healthcare will be severely rationed to meet the budget.

This is a loser of a plan.

Please, I urge you, vote NO on “public option insurance,” the failed idea that underlies this health care “reform.”

That's the point. The federal government is not required to and does not balance a budget, much less make a profit. It can operate in the red until it undercuts and ultimately destroys private medical insurance, guaranteeing that it will be the last option standing.

Thanks for the heads-up, Mrs D.

For those who don't already know:

What Obama amd Michelle "Believe" re Aborted Babies Born Alive
FR POSTED http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2253212/posts?page=6

In February 2004, US Senate candidate Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, sent a fund-raising letter with the "alarming news" that "right-wing politicians" had passed a law (prohibiting doctors from stabbing half-born babies in the neck with scissors, suctioning out their brains and crushing their skulls).

Michelle Obama called partial-birth abortion "a legitimate medical procedure. " She urged supporters to pay $150 to attend a fund-raising luncheon for her husband, who she promised would fight against "cynical ploy[s]" to stop it.

BACKGROUND Legislation was presented on the federal level and in various states called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. It stated all live-born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted. BAIPA sailed through the U.S. Senate by unanimous vote. Even Sens. Clinton, Kennedy and Kerry agreed a mother's right to "choose" stopped at her baby's delivery. The bill also passed overwhelmingly in the House. NARAL went neutral on it. Abortion enthusiasts publicly agreed that fighting BAIPA would appear extreme. President Bush signed BAIPA into law in 2002.

But in Illinois, the state version of BAIPA repeatedly failed, thanks in large part to then-state Sen. Barack Obama. Obama worried aloud that legislation protecting live aborted babies might infringe on women's rights or abortionists' rights.

In 2003, as chairman of the next Senate committee to which BAIPA was sent, Obama stopped it from even getting a hearing, shelving it to die much like babies were still being shelved to die in Illinois hospitals and abortion clinics.

BAIPA passed in 2005.........after Obama left.

This is what the liberals have wanted for years.

I definitely think contacting one’s congress critter is a great idea, but lying about my address removes all my credibility. Also, it seems to me that the staffers screening the e-mail will likely recognize the address and bin them.
