We all know they cooked the books (repeatedly)...

Yeah they were determined to have the number come in at less than 1 trillion, so they tinkered with the equation until they came in at 985 billion as the estimated cost of Obama care. Kind of the same BS they use when factoring unemployment, which they claim is 9.8% ... don't want to go over that 10% number. When in reality it's closer to 14-16% in real numbers.

Surgery centers and physicians are no longer taking Medicare patients as of the DeathCare bill being signed. I called my Congressman’s office in DC and was told this is happening everywhere.

Be sure to show your appreciation by voting RATs and RINOs out on November 2nd and finish cleaning the sewer that is this thug Administration and this Congress in November 2012;

Priority is Repeal of the DeathCare.

Don’t doubt it one bit. Medicare patients were already having a hard time finding a doctor to take them.

VFW magazine: May 2010 edition, not on line I copied this from the mag.

By Tim Dyhouse, Washingtonwire. News from VFW’s Washington Office

Legislation: Fix Health Care Law, Says VFW.

Buried on page 333 of a 2,400 page document were four lines of text that only recognized Tricare for Life and veterans’ health care programs under Chapter 17, Title 38 as being accepted as minimum essential coverage under the new law. No specific language to protect other Tricare programs or other Title 38 recipients-dependents, widows or children-could be found.

snip

VFW is now working with members of Congress from both parties to submit amendments or legislation to fix the new national health care law. VFW applauds the corrective actions taken by Skelton as well as those of Reps. Steve Buyers (R-Ind) and Buch McKeon (R-Cal), and Sens. Daniel Akala (D-Hawaii), Richard Burr (R-N.C. and Jim Webb (D-VA).
