We are calling everyone that is able to come to Washington, DC on March 16th, 2010 for one last push against Obamacare. We will meet at the Cannon building at 9am and speak with as many representatives as possible, encouraging them to vote NO on this version of health care reform.

[3D-JOY]

Planned to be in the area by the 19th.

Maybe I can rush the drive up there.....

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ~~ President Ronald Reagan

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

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases

http://www.navytimes.com/news/2009/10/military_tricarefees_blocked_100709w/

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Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.

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.

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.

I’ve added your link about the Vets to my TRL posting. Thanks for providing it.

[nutmeg]

Thanks trooprally... we need to be a part of this! Zelig and I will do our best to be in DC on 3/16, work-permitting...

[nutmeg]

We will try to be in DC on 3/16 as well... if work allows it, of course. Hope to see you there, although there’s gonna be a crowd there for sure!

[b4its2late]

They are pulling this crap today......

The Slaughter Solution is a plan by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), the Democratic chair of the powerful House Rules Committee and a key ally of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), to get the health care legislation through the House without an actual vote on the Senate-passed health care bill.

You see, Democratic leaders currently lack the votes needed to pass the Senate health care bill through the House. Under Slaughter’s scheme, Democratic leaders will overcome this problem by simply “deeming” the Senate bill passed in the House – without an actual vote by members of the House.

"These are the days of our great lament. The land thirsts.
A great plague infests our country from the corrupt Congress.
They say that strife has made us weak.
That we have become empty.
They say that we rot.
But, we are strong. We are a people of destiny."

[nutmeg]

Thanks for your post re: "The Slaughter Solution" in #27, b4its2late. Here's more info from Republican Leader John Boehner's website:

The twisted scheme by which Democratic leaders plan to bend the rules to ram President Obama’s massive health care legislation through Congress now has a name: the Slaughter Solution.

Rush Limbaugh said about an hour ago that Pelosi came out of her "bat cave" and it appears (no confirmation yet) that the 'RATs are considering going the Slaughter Solution route.

FReepers, if THIS doesn't make you angry, nothing will! ObamaCare MUST BE STOPPED!

Whatever it takes and ASAP... before US doctors leave their practices in droves, and we're all on waitlists for MRIs, cat scans, knee/hip replacements, etc.

God help us...

[shankbear]

If they use unlawful methods to jam this crap down our throats, it will become a call to arms. We cannot show fear. We must resist and overturn this unconstitutional abuse of power. If they want it done in the streets, in the byways, in the hedgerows, in the forests or anywhere we choose, so be it.

The far more effective approach is for the people to exert their power by shutting down Congress.

And as many folks getting to DC as possible, and doing just that... These thugs are trying to put through something that is opposed by a large majority. It isn't close. Do not know what else we can do at this point except make a lot of noise, and make these insulated jerks hear what the pubklic sentiment is. Unfoprtunately I live on the left coast.

Thanks, Man50D!
