Health Care

Why don't the citizens of this country deserve the same health care as the members of Congress?

For instance, it would seem to me that any member of Congress over the age of 65 should be required to go on Medicare.

Do we NOT need a national figure--a national Howard Jarvis so to speak-- to mandate that any legislation put upon the poeple is put upon all?

Might not such a tactic that demands health care be the same for all be one that EVERYONE gets behind?

Here is a copy of the ObamaCare health plan. You better read it because you will be forced to live with it!

Here is an overview of the ObamaCare health care bill (HR 3200) which Congress is about to force every citizen to live under, except members of Congress.

Members of Congress will be exempt from being forced into this plan. They will have their own. The liberals, Democrats and some Republicans - while forcing you to join the plan - refuse to include themselves. Members of Congress will have a better plan which gives them freedom you will be denied.
You can read an updated and revised overview of HR 3200 compiled by Liberty Counsel.
Or, go to the full text of HR 3200 and read directly from the government website what this bill does!
Your Senators and Representative will soon be home for the August recess of Congress. Get a car load of friends and go meet with your Senators and Representative. Find out where he or she is holding Townhall meetings. Go to those meetings and ask for some answers! Some of them may try to avoid discussing ObamaCare. Don’t let them!
Find your Senators and Representative local offices here.
Take Action!
• E-mail your Senators and Representative,asking for a schedule of their Townhall meeting during the month of August. Once you get the information, get a carload of friends and attend the Townhall meeting.
• If your Senators or Representative is not holding Townhall meeting, ask why not.(We have been told that many of those favoring ObamaCare aren’t holding meeting because they don’t want to answer questions about ObamaCare.) Then ask for an appointment at his or her district office nearest you.

Rep. John Fleming (Louisiana 4th District) has introduced House Resolution 615 stating those who vote for the Health Care bill should accept the same insurance and care. You can go to his web page and sign the petition to support the resolution.

Here's a direct quote from OBAMA. Notice how what he said has been pushed under the rug.

Here is an excerpt from a speech given by then candidate Obama on September 20, 2008 at Bethune-Cookman University:

“Change means keeping the promise of affordable, accessible health care for every single American. Under my plan, if you have health insurance, nothing changes for you, except that my plan will lower your health care costs. *If you don’t, you’ll be able to get the same kind of coverage that members of Congress give themselves.”

What did he mean by "*if you don't you'll be able to get the same kind of coverage that members of Congress give themselves?

Who was he referring to exactly?

Actually Fleming’s Resolution # 615 is pitiful. Read it. It doesn’t MANDATE anything; it uses touchy-feely words like “forego.”

There’s zero teeth in his language; hence, he’s ‘guilty’ too.

Further, I don’t believe people “have chosen” to give up their ‘freedoms’ as another poster said, I think people just don’t know HOW to fight!

THIS idea (thrust) is the one that will work.

You have to hit Congresspeople where they live.

And they only live to get re-elected.

So when you tell them forcefully that you will make it your mission in life to get them defeated and thrown out of office (dig up real political dirt on the liberals and publicize it always helps too), maybe they will finally see that we the people mean business.
