Rename, repackage, rewrite it a tad smaller, and sell another pig in a poke.

Tennessee has joined several other states in trying to pass a Health Care Freedom Act. 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)

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

http://economicspolitics.blogspot.com/2009/05/tricare-for-life-is-obama-trying-to.html

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.)

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases
http://www.armytimes.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Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.

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.

Bambi doesn't keep his promises...so buyer beware.

Sucking capital out of an economy by a government, however it's done and from whomever it is taken, is like bleeding fluid from a hydraulic system.

Expect the economy to weaken and jobs to disappear.

Me too! His mis-steps will insure that he’s one-term ZerObama. He was very emphatic about NOT raising taxes and this could be his “Read my lips...” moment.

“Bambi doesn’t keep his promises...so buyer beware.”

Sadly, at this juncture, “news” that Obama is breaking yet another promise is pretty much a dog-bites-man story. Yawn.

We could spare a lot of trees and bandwidth if the media simply focused on reporting the rare instances in which Obama has kept his promises.

Words and sentences are not meant to convey meaning, much less intent, for the Poseur... rather they represent a stream of emotional consciousness designed to envelope the specific audience in the desired feelings. It worked during the campaign but is rapidly losing its effectiveness as people see the chaotic results of his actions.

“it would add a 2.9 percent tax for such high-income households to unearned income including interest, dividends,”

What? Would that be like the 4th time these items would be taxed? By the time you get a dividend, it must me like the 10 cents leftovers.
