When the paint on VA Clinic walls and VA Hospitals is falling off, and rats roam the halls, THAT'S FAILURE!
When MediCare pays out more than it takes in, that's FAILURE!
When Social Security is broke... that's FAILURE!

This Vietnam ERA Vet thanks you. Disabled vet.
Fail.
Concise and to-the-point. I like it.
My $0.02:
The AARP website is full of lies and distortions! Have you read the 1,018 page bill? I have, and I have also taken the time to research speeches, and reports from Congress, and results of internal votes that went into writing the bill (HR3200). Did you even know that Sen. Harry Reid confirmed that Congress didn’t write the bill — outside lobbyists wrote it and Congress approved their pages and pages of gobbledygook.
It’s all spelled out clearly with facts and citations at http://AARPLIES.com
You can disagree on goals and intent, but if you say you don’t believe something, then READ THE BILL, and read the REAL ways we can improve healthcare without killing our current very good healthcare system and ceding control over our health to a government single payer rotten system that will be terrible. Again, Read the Facts, and aarplies.com
If what he says is true about the fraud in Medicare and he’s going to correct it........why hasn’t he done anything in the last 9 months? Notice he won’t talk about that. I’m beginning to believe this guy is the Anti-Christ.
No John, I don’t like fairytales and that’s what the bills are...all of them.
My wife and I have our Medicare Part D with AARP and I won’t change because...
1.) With advanced cancer my meds for that are 700 bucks a month.
2.) My insulin and meds run close to that monthly.
Believe me, I do AARP more harm than good.
Hit ‘em in the pocketbook my dad always said... and it works if enough people do the same.
AARP needs to stick with the insurance business and stay out of politics.
No matter how you vote you are a minority.
40% Republicans vote is contrary to 60% of the electorates’ opinion and vote and visa versa for the Dems and with 20% for all other parties, it’s really a minority.
Nah, the Antichrist will be Muslim and capable. Not Muslim and inept. Besides, the Saudi king would bow to him and as we all know, Hussein bowed to the king. Wait a while, some Turk with a new version of Islam/Judaism/Christianity combined will show up just a few years after the Muslims start slaughtering one another. They've done the same thing over and over throughout history, expand and murder, simmer, slaughter one another over who the Mahdi is, then revise Islam around the edges and start over.
Regards
Exactly. Fix what’s broken then THEN ask the voters if they want another program.
Don’t confront the voters (Conservatives are voters) by calling them names however I love it when they do.
Payback in 2010/12.
Read this carefully friends ....
The Truth About the Health Care Bills - Michael Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney 08.24.09
Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.
To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.
The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled.
However, as scary as all of that it, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.
The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people and the businesses they own. The irony is that the Congress doesn’t have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with. I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.
This legislation also provides for access by the appointees of the Obama administration of all of your personal healthcare information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.
If you decide not to have healthcare insurance or if you have private insurance that is not deemed “acceptable” to the “Health Choices Administrator” appointed by Obama there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a “tax” instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn’t work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the “due process of law.
So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much out the original ten in the Bill of Rights that are effectively nullified by this law. It doesn’t stop there though. The 9th Amendment that provides: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;” The 10th Amendment states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.
I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to “be bound by oath or affirmation” to support the Constitution . If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.
For those who might doubt the nature of this threat I suggest they consult the source. Here is a link to the Constitution: http://www.archives.gov/ex hibits/charters/constituti on_transcript.html
And another to the Bill of Rights: http://www.archives.gov/ex hibits/charters/bill_of_ri ghts_transcript.html
There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us if we allow this bill to be passed.

“This is not about health care;” Right-On!
This is “Stealth Care” writing hidden things into bills in a way to conceal the true meaning and effect it will have for Americans.
Confusing the issues with outright “LIES” (No appology)such as “Nothing in this bill will allow illegal aliens to get medical insurance” but nothing in the bill prohibits it thanks to demo defeated republican attempts to add that clause.
Besides, it’s my understanding that California’s Supreme’s have ruled any thing provided for legal residents must be provided to illegal residents. That is now the case almost everywhere now. All anyone must do is cross the border and walk into any emergency room with false papers or no papers at all and give a fake name and address to the hospital. The hospital gets stuck with the bill.
Next, 0bama said “nothing in this legislation allows funds for abortions” but again demo’s faught every attempt by rebub’s to have that language added. Not that that would have stopped abortions since we all must consider the undefined meaning of “THE HEALTH OF THE MOTHER”. Mental health? Stress? PMS?
This country slid into the tank in the past 5 years and now 0bama has it in freefall.
I live 30 miles from FReeRepublic in Fresno. The valley is in the crapper with the federal drought. The poor illegals are heading home for lack of work and citizens are taking those jobs at higher wages... hey, maybe the feds did all America a favor without knowing it...
