Broken Promises

Healthcare for the Poor Uninsured

Dear Friends:



I have a few simple questions about health care, maybe you can help me.



If Medicaid is the government program designed to provide health care for the poor and if the government has confessed that they have failed (as of this date) to sign up eight million uninsured poor individuals who currently qualify for Medicaid, why do these (poor) individuals need health insurance when they already have a government system to cover them (and others who may become poor)? If the government can't sign these individuals up for Medicaid, how will they ever sign them up for insurance? And if they were able to sign them up for insurance, where will the poor get the money to pay for the insurance? Will the poor have both insurance and Medicaid? Why would they need both?



It is the poor that goes to the emergency room for medical services and this includes those persons on Medicaid. With the poor, it makes no difference whether they have insurance or not, they are not going to wait for an appointment to see a doctor when they can go to emergency room to get the same care immediately, so where are the cost savings?



The facts show that most of the people who are un-insured are poor and since we already have the Medicaid system to help the poor, Medicare to help the senior citizens and Veteran hospitals to help the veterans, why do we need to pass a massive health care reform program to cover the un-insured poor? We already have systems in place to help them. Just make it mandatory for all employees who are not classified as the working class poor - pay for their own health insurance through payroll deduction. The problem is solved.



As far as the issue of high premiums are concern, pass tort reform legislation and allow insurance companies to compete across state lines and tell the insurance companies that they must cover pre-conditions. That settles costs.



We do not need 1017 pages of legislation to do this - nor do we need another multi-billion dollar government bureaucracy to monitor health care. Who are they trying to fool? Someone should ask Congress these same questions. Go ahead. I dare you to send this e-mail to them (smile).

Iyad Burnat: Why Does Obama Get a Prize and Bush Got Shoes?

"I ask you our friends in the Nobel Committee, why didn't you choose quality? I think your prize makes the people more violent. Do you think that Obama can make peace, and why didn't you wait until he actually made the peace? Maybe he will invade another country. Sorry, but we are still under occupation and it makes us very crazy because we see every day and night the suffering of our children, and it's killing us. We hear in the speeches that the president talks about peace, but nothing has changed. To deserve a Nobel prize you need to work, not talk. We need the work to be done now, not tomorrow. We need our land now, not tomorrow."

Scott Horton: Is Medea Benjamin Naive or Just Confused?

"Imagine my shock at seeing this story in the Christian Science Monitor describing the new, post-trip-to-Afghanistan-position of Code Pink’s co-founder and most famous leader, Medea Benjamin."

Nader on Obama: "A Frightened Man" -- "Very Disappointing"

"Nader's main gripe is that Obama has 'turned his back on the very people' who voted him into office, imploring the President to invite representatives of consumer, environmental and worker groups to the White House -- 'as they elbow their way between the hordes of corporate execs, speculators and criminals that have received invitations there.'"

Check out the comments too:

"I am one of the lefties who voted him in office (and donated hundreds to his campaign). I am furious at Obama's support of the financial oligarchy and recently dropped my democratic party registration. I will never vote for the lesser of two evils again."

"100% agree with Nader. I voted for Obama, if he doesn't passes health care bill for 45 million american without insurance and doesn't brings a change for the common people, I will not vote for dems in 2010. BTW, that doesn't mean I will vote for ignorant GOP. Obama is portraying himself as a weak preseident and I won't vote period."

"Obama watched a college football game last night. This morning he was awarded the Heisman Trophy."

"The Great Hope turns out to be just a shell with eloquence at a time when Americans were grasping at straws. The really sad part is that if Obama does not live up to even half of his potential the far right will get to say " I told you so". Have corporate and banking criminals been punished? No. Has healthcare been solved or at least a solution started? No. Are we still at war? Yes. Is the economy better? No. I wish Obama would stop making speeches and get stuff done. He can sure talk the talk but so far can't walk the walk."

THESE ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE

Phyllis Schlafly: If Obama Had Told Us Before His Election

"If Barack Obama had campaigned on what he has actually done in his first 300 days in office, would he have been elected? That's the question so many are asking today."

"If Obama had told us that his stimulus package is a sham because it does not create private-sector jobs (as a tax cut would do), so that the unemployment rate has risen to nearly 10 percent, with 15 million Americans unemployed plus another 11 million underemployed, could he have been elected?"

"If we had known that Obama would be totally incompetent as commander-in-chief of his chosen war in Afghanistan, and would not speak to the general in the field for 70days, ignoring his dire report for six weeks, would Obama have been elected?"

"If Obama had admitted that his health care plan would include the same provisions for which he ran negative TV ads against Hillary Clinton (a federal mandate requiring every American to buy health insurance) and against John McCain (a tax on high-cost employer-based plans), would Obama have been elected?

"And what if Obama had told us that his federal health plan would pay for all abortions without regard to the Hyde Amendment and provide full health care (including private doctor visits) to immigrants without requiring proof of legal residence?

"If Obama had campaigned on increasing federal spending and debt from a multibillion-dollar level to multitrillions, would he have been elected? And what if Obama had told us that his promise to "spread the wealth around" would balloon his first year's budget deficit to $1.6 trillion?

"If Obama had told us that his promise to "spread the wealth around" meant wiping out the Republican welfare reform of 1996 and increasing annual welfare spending by 39 percent to almost $1 trillion a year by the end of his first term, would he have been elected?

"If Obama had declared during his campaign that his first major speech abroad would be to the Muslim world and that he would proclaim in Muslim Turkey that "one of the great strengths of the United States is ... we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation," would he have been elected?"

John Hawkins: 20 More Questions for Barack Obama

"1) Back in 2008, you said that 'Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.' Surging electricity rates would seem to be a bad thing under almost any circumstances, but given the state of the economy today, why do you think it's necessary to see electricity costs dramatically escalate?

"2) Even before the stimulus bill, the CBO predicted the economy would recover in the 2nd half of this year. Since we're already getting to the point where the economy is on track to recover if there had been no stimulus at all, doesn't that mean the stimulus was a waste of money?

"3) Since spending for Social Security and Medicare have gotten so large and out-of-control that it's imperiling our nation's financial future, can we really afford another massive new government health care program that has the potential to eventually dwarf both of them combined in cost?

"4) Even your own economic team is predicting that you will run large deficits throughout your entire presidency -- even if you serve two terms. Given the size of our debt and the nervousness about it around the world, couldn't that policy have frightening economic implications for our country?

"5) You've been publicly advocating allowing people who are in the country illegally to remain here and in many cases, start on the path towards citizenship. Setting aside how good of an idea that is in any case, why do you support a policy like that when the unemployment rate is 9.8% and every job held by an illegal means one more American will be out of work?

"6) Your administration has been fond of saying that you've 'created or saved' jobs. Aren't those numbers made-up and completely unverifiable?

"7) When do you anticipate having the government completely out of GM and Chrysler?

"8) Doesn't the special treatment that unions have gotten in the bailout of GM and Chrysler smack of favoritism and political corruption?

"9) You've imposed certain limits on executive pay. Do you think we should have limits on what actors can make? How about lawyers? Union heads? Musicians? How about how much money someone should be able to make from speaking fees or book royalties?

"10) Can you discuss the role you played at ACORN and whether you believe they should be able to receive any federal funds given the enormous ethical problems in that organization that have recently come to light?

"11) Aren't you trying to get around the 'advise and consent' clause in the Constitution by hiring so many czars?

"12) Isn't it true that many of your czars have such controversial backgrounds that they couldn't have been confirmed, even by a heavily Democratic Congress?

"13) So far, you have signed a number of bills that no one in Congress has read before they were signed. Do you think a member of Congress is being irresponsible if he signs onto a bill without reading it or at minimum, having a member of his staff read it?

"14) Would you be willing to publicly ask your supporters to stop accusing people who disagree with your policies of being racist?

"15) You have harshly criticized George Bush for putting prisoners at Gitmo. However, closing the facility turned out to be much tougher than you thought it would be and now, you are not on pace to meet your goal to close it within a year. Do you now believe your criticism of George Bush over the issue was misguided?

"16) Given your lack of accomplishments on the world stage, shouldn't you have refused to accept the Nobel Peace Prize?

"17) Many people fear that Manuel Zelaya is a wannabe dictator who was and is still trying to subvert the democratic process in Honduras. He appears to have been thrown out of office in accordance with the Constitution of that nation and moreover, he would have been term limited out of office in November. Why is it important to your administration that Honduras risk its democracy to reinstall Manuel Zelaya as president?

"18) Our allies in Eastern Europe feel, with more than a little justification, that we have betrayed them and abandoned them to the Russians by refusing to build out our missile defense program in their countries. At this point, nobody seems to know what you got in return for this. So, what did we gain from Russia in return for throwing our Eastern European friends to the wolves?

"19) Iran seems to be slowly, but steadily moving towards building nuclear weapons. Were Iran to acquire nukes, it would lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, a dangerous conflict with Israel, and it could potentially lead to terrorist groups acquiring nuclear weapons. Yet, so far, you seem to be doing nothing of significance to stop Iran. Are you still willing to publicly guarantee that you will do whatever it takes to stop Iran from getting nukes?

"20) Time and time again on the campaign trail, you talked about the importance of the fight in Afghanistan. Now, when your general in charge of the country is telling you what he needs to win, you seem to be wavering on giving it to him. Was all your talk about getting the job done in Afghanistan just a cynical political strategy?"

Jayme S. Sellards: Sex and socialism

"First, I want to make it clear that sex is simply another bodily function, and there is no meaning behind it at all. Second, love doesn't exist, so don't worry about waiting until you find the right person. In fact, you should engage in indiscriminate sex with anyone who happens to come along. Simply put, all sex is acceptable, at any time, at any age, and with anyone.

"What? You're offended by what I just said? Well, I have to be honest and admit that's not really my sex talk. I'm simply paraphrasing Karl Marx. What's important to understand, though, is that while what I've just written may sound crazy to you, it is the precise socialist view of sex. You see, sexual promiscuity and deviance play an integral role in the establishment of a socialist system of government."

Gregory D. Lee: Hey, You Can’t Expect a Nobel Peace Prize Winner to Win a War, Can You?

"I’m stunned he was nominated for the prize, considering he was in office for only 12 days before the nominations closed. I would hate to think that President Obama purposely delayed making his decision to send more troops to Afghanistan until the winner of the peace prize was announced, but, it looks that way to me. Announcing he will send more troops to kill poor Muslims might have jeopardized the award, or at least embarrass the Nobel committee. If you thought the president had a large ego before winning the Nobel Peace Prize, you can imagine the ego he has now. I was in office for 12 days and won the Nobel Peace Prize! Top that!"

Mychal Massie: Globalist cover-up hiding Obama's past?

"An even more pressing question is: How does a person like Obama – a nobody from nowhere – come to command such power and money so as to pull this off? Think about what it takes for a presidential candidate, and now sitting president, to have such power.

"The answer can only be that Obama is the front man for something far more sinister. One person, without the strength and backing of a cabal capable of toppling governments and affecting worldwide currencies, etc., could not even consider such an undertaking, much less pull it off."

Clayton E. Cramer: Are You More Likely to Be Shot Because You Own a Gun?

"What’s the direction of causality here? Are you more likely to be shot because you own a gun? Does anyone seriously believe that buying a gun attracts criminal attackers? Or do people buy guns because they perceive that they are in danger of being attacked? If it is the latter, they guessed correctly. Someone shot them."
