According to Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), 14,000 Americans lose their healthcare daily, while six to eight Americans die per day because of no health insurance.

Okay, they print the claim. Any thought on actually fact-checking this BS assertion?

Rename, repackage, rewrite it a tad smaller, and sell another pig in a poke. NO COLAs for granny, retired Military or retired fed employees. BIG NEW fees for Tricare for Life retired over 65 Military’s secondary health ins.
(DOD bill already passed, delayed but goes into effect 2011 NEEDS TO BE REPEALED!

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

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.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009

Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.
Snip The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.

Snip

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.

“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.

Obama gives GOP 6-week deadline to get on board with healthcare package

O'lamo (drawing line in the dirt with his foot): "I dare you Republicans to step over that line!"

Republicans: (stepping over the line) "OK"

O'lamo (backing up and then drawing another line in the dirt with his foot): "I double-dog dare you Republicans to step over that line!"

Republicans: (laughing out loud and stepping over the line) "OK"

O'lamo (backing up further and then drawing yet another line in the dirt with his foot): "I triple-dog dare you Republicans to step over that line!"

Republicans: (rolling on the ground laughing out loud and then getting up and stepping over the line) "OK"

O'lamo (looking around and seeing everyone else laughing at him too, turns and runs, screaming): "Whaaaaaa, whaaaaaa, mommy, mommy, those mean ole Republicans are picking on me!"

This stupid f#ck doesn't realize that April 15th is right about six weeks away. I can't think of a better time of year to get the American people all excited about backing yet another big government program.

6-weeks...or WHAT?

Better still than the Sheriff of Blazing Saddles, try visualizing Obama as the Black Knight:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

King Arthur: [after Arthur's cut off both of the Black Knight's arms] Look, you stupid Bastard. You've got no arms left.
Black Knight: Yes I have.
King Arthur: *Look*!
Black Knight: It's just a flesh wound.

Harkin "People who are sick pay more. Is that what we want in this country?"

er uh yes. In general, we pay for the services we need. Health... Food.. Cars.. Why has health become the magic bullet for Liberals?

Because it is the ticket to huge government and perpetual power.
