Lawmakers Ready Health-Care Reform Pitches

House Republicans and Democrats alike plan to aggressively tout their positions on health-care reform over the five-week August recess, as both sides see an opportunity to shift public opinion on the issue before members return to vote on a plan in September.

With the House expected to leave for recess on Friday, Democratic leaders have urged members to use town halls and other events to get away from the complicated debates on subjects such as a government-insurance option that have resounded in Washington and focus instead on simpler issues, such as telling voters that the legislation will bar insurance companies from denying coverage to people with preexisting conditions.

House Republican leaders have told their members to host events on health care but also on the economic stimulus package passed earlier this year. Party leaders believe they can defeat the Democratic health proposals by connecting them to the $787 billion stimulus package that has not kept unemployment from rising.

...and the people are readying their Health Care pitches for their reps.

MOst people, if they take just a little time and download and read and mark up the Health Care bill, will be much more informed than their reps.

Here is a link to the full House Democrat Health Care Plan in PDF. In Section 1233 E & F, pages 426-433, you find the part about mandatory end-of-life counseling for anyone over 65 years of age. Section 152 Page 50: All healthcare services will be provided without regard to "personal characteristcs" which is not defined within the document but is understood to include immigration status.

Section 224 b Page 125: The Secretary shall design and implement the payment mechanisms and policies under this section in a manner that — (1) seeks to (B) reduce health disparities (including racial, ethnic and other disparities).

A lot more provisions now being documented at that site.

Donwload it, read it, study it, then hammer your reps over it and pass it on to all you know asking them to do the same.

Also, here's a large image of the Democratic (Obama) Health Plan chart-another Obama empty promise. This is the one the House democrats are censuring. Email these links or the image to everyone you know.

Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

focus instead on simpler issues, such as telling voters...

WashCompost giving marching orders to try and shape the teaching lesson to us voters, as opposed to the other way around. It dovetails with the other threads of dems "giving up" on town halls because they are too fractious and unruly, as opposed to taking the not so subtle message that this monster is a disaster in hundreds of ways (lists of line-by-line why available elsewhere).

Will Mommy put a nice crease in their jeans before they pitch?

What’s likely to happen is that many of these town halls will be screened or advance seating will be given to rent-a-mobs who support the plan. It will make more sense to picket outside the town halls than to expect honest answers inside them.

I was thinking more along the lines of "and the people are readying their pitchforks for their reps."
