WASHINGTON (AP) - House Democratic leaders Thursday walked their rank-and-file members through last-minute agreements that could move President Barack Obama's overhaul of the nation's health care system a step closer to reality.

Although some issues remained unresolved—including a divisive battle over restricting taxpayer funding of abortion—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said: "We have enough to move forward."

Maher: Obama Should Have Used Anger, Fear to Promote Health Care Agenda

Newsbusters ^ | March 11, 2010 | Jeff Poor

Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 8:41:40 AM by Rufus2007

One of the left's knocks on conservatives has been claiming they're demagogues that play on emotion to push a certain point of view. It's been said about Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and the Tea Party movement.

However, HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" host Bill Maher doesn't seem to take issue with using trumped up emotions to push an agenda. The difference - he is approaching things from the opposite end of the ideological spectrum. Maher appeared on MSNBC's March 10 "Countdown" and defended his demand from his own March 5 program that President Barack Obama quit smoking. The reason - so he would get angry and use that emotion to promote his agenda.

Health-care reform's 'back-door' tax

CNNMoney ^ | March 11, 2010 | Jia Lynn Yang

Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 9:37:55 AM by maggief

WASHINGTON (Fortune) -- The big talk on Capital Hill may be about health-care reform, but as part of this massive undertaking, the Democrats are quietly reshaping the tax system too. Tucked inside President Obama's latest health-care proposal is a major change to the Medicare tax.

Since its conception, the Medicare tax has always been tied to payrolls. Every paycheck, employers and employees each chip in 1.45%, regardless of how much someone makes. Under Obama's proposal -- which should be very close to what Congress winds up enacting -- a Medicare tax would now be applied to investment income too: Individuals who earn more than $200,000 and couples over $250,000 would pay an additional 2.9% surtax on unearned income from interest, dividends, annuities, royalties and rents.

Behind closed doors, the Obama Administration, House and Senate Democrat leaders are cutting a secret deal on ObamaCare. They have come up with a way to pass the Senate version of ObamaCare in the House without any House members having to vote directly on the bill. Now The Hill is reporting that the House and Senate Parliamentarians are helping to advise Democrats on how to pass ObamaCare. When will the self proclaimed most ethical Congress in history start acting ethical and honest? This 111th Congress has proven, to date, to be the most secretive, non-transparent and devious Congress in recent history.

As we and the Washington Post pointed out last August, the president's whole "if you like your current health plan, you can keep it" schtick is a bald-faced lie. It is a lie because if your employer decides what coverage you get, then your employer decides what coverage you lose. Whether you like your plan or not has nothing to do with it.

CBO has just released an estimate of the budgetary effects of the health bill, H.R. 3590, that passed the Senate on December 24.

Today’s estimate differs from the estimate for a slightly earlier version of the legislation that we released on December 19 in that it encompasses all of the amendments that were adopted by the Senate, reflects a revised assumption about its enactment date, and incorporates some technical revisions.

Senate Democrats said Thursday that they are inclined to add an overhaul of the nation's student loan program to the final health-care bill. The move would create a potential double victory for President Obama, who has championed both causes as among domestic priorities.

The Lie About Health Care Costs

Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 8:20:36 PM by raptor22

President Obama promised that his government health care bill would control health care costs. This claim bolstered Mr. Obama's continued attack on the greedy insurance companies on Monday in Pennsylvania. But even the administration's supporters have a hard time buying into the fiction. "Unfortunately, we came up with a bill that really doesn't attack the cost situation that much," said Warren Buffett, renowned investor and Obama confidant, to CNBC last week.

In "The March of Folly," Barbara Tuchman asked, "Why do holders of high office so often act contrary to the way reason points and enlightened self-interest suggests?" Her assessment of self-deception -- "acting according to wish while not allowing oneself to be deflected by the facts" -- captures the conditions that are gripping President Obama and the Democratic Party leadership as they renew their efforts to enact health-care reform.

In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.
