We need to vote every sumbich in congress out of office. Every incumbent in primaries need to be defeated to send the clear message: enact this Communist’s policies and you are out of the government.

Hussein Obowma wants every democrat to commit political suicide for his health bill nationalization: 1/3 of the USA GNP will have been nationalized within the past 1 year if it passes.

I will never obey the laws instituted by this health care reform nor will I pay a dime of any fines they impose. I will demand that they work on my bullet riddled body and put it on the public tab. Cloward & Piven Strategy works both ways, baby!

Obama is a jehadist and is executing asymmetrical warfare. We are apparently too dumb to get it.

**Obama is a Republican Mole, and he was put there to destroy the Democrat Party for the next 100 years.

You have to wonder where the adults are in the Democratic Party. Who will be the one that will tell little Barry that he can’t have his way? He will throw a tantrum so it will take someone who is not under his control. My guess is Bill Clinton will draw the short straw and make the trek to the Oval Office. The Clintons agree with the basic socialist agenda but they are also realists and know that they are very close to being voted out of power for a very long time.

Republicans should just say no to driving off the cliff.

I am doubtful about the selling across state lines. This would allow the Feds to utilize the interstate commerce clause to take over regulation of health care. This regulation belongs with the states. So I am skeptical until I see the specifics.

Companies can already sell across state lines. All they have to do is get an agent licensed in the states where they want to do business. You fill out some paperwork, pay the license fee, and it takes 2 or 3 weeks to process.

THE GOP SHOULD NOT ATTEND AFTER THIS ANNOUNCEMENT

Run away? Why on earth should they do that? This is a great opportunity. Obama is showing weakness by calling for this meeting. He can't get Democrats to go along, he can't bribe or blackmail Republicans, public support has been dropping since he started this campaign and now he is forced to use the prestige of the office to get his message out.

The key is he can't use his popularity, he can't use his image to get what he wants. He's not popular and his image stinks. He's fallen back to the only thing he has....the office.

GOP goes in ...this is what is wrong...this is what the American people want...bam...bam...bam...the media has to report it. People agree with the GOP. The sale has been made.

If they run away, that will be the story. Obama tried to "reach out" and was rejected. The GOP is scared. Republicans don't want to talk. Republicans snubbed the office of the presidency.

Gail, thanks for the info, but I guess I just don’t understand what it’s saying. Maybe it’s the jargon and abbreviations that are at least part of the problem. Can you condense down what this is all about and how it differs from the current status and dollar amounts being charged?

I agree. All he’s ever been about is reparations. After carefully tending the garden of political correctness, Marxist academic thought, media and entertainment industry destruction of traditional American culture and the glorification of the sick black culture in this country, the ruination of public education and the destruction of the family unit, the left feels all the pieces are in place to make their move for “The Final Solution” to be successful.

TFL is an entitlement health insurance promised to the retired over 65 Military. It cost noting but the co-pays on their RX's. It acts as a supplement to Medicare. What Medicare does not cover TFL does. These are NEW BIG FEES, and higher co-pays for their RX's. Both TFL and Medicare are administered by the same agency. It amounts to nearly $5,000 per year out of pocket expense if they need hospitalization/test, not sure about doctor visits. The increased RX co-pays will be additional.

Add that to no COLA raises for 2-3 years (in most cases the raises are not a lot about $25-50 a month less if Medicare premiums go up) in their SS and Military retirement and you put these Vets in a bad situation, especially if the bad economy continues to eat at their savings and investments like it has been.

My husband's Navy retirement check (he has IT taken out of it) since January was $10.80 lighter due to obambi's fiddling with the tax codes, combined with both our SS it doesn't even hit a 1/4th of that $250G cap he keeps yapping about.

The insurance agency is strictly financial. In the private sector, where funds are limited and profits must be made, it is a tricky and risky business.

With the benefit of a printing press for possible payouts the nasty "tricky and risky" part goes away.

Obama has the ability to "charge" as much as he wants in premiums - lots of real wealth in, Obamoney out. How could any socialist resist.

I smell collusion in the mist. Lets see, the insurance companies know that by raising rates they will get beat up by the demons. They also know that they don’t want a public option and it won’t pass with one. So what happens, they anounce exorbitant rate increases only to get beat up, BO puts out his plan with no public option but a mandate that everyone has to buy insurance. He put in a phony rate regulation but the insurance companies don’t care because they just picked up 20-30 million paying customers most of them paid for by us smucks through our taxes on our policies and those on the dole of the gov’t.

What a SCAM.
