NO! NO! NO!
Just say NOOOOO !!!!!
Ping! Ping! Ping!
LOL! OK.
Means NO COMPROMISE!
NO to anything right now!
KILL the WHOLE BILL
Then, there is ONE thing Congress can do to REALLY HELP lower medical expenses for ALL Americans by $100 BILLION PER YEAR.
TORT REFORM FIRST! TORT REFORM NOW!
Chill out a year and see what that begins to accomplish in lowering costs.
Tort reform can and should be done first, NOW and separately. There is no complex entwining and threaded set of current legislation that has to be taken into account. It can and SHOULD be done in a SEPARATE, PRISTINE manner that ALL of us can read, even the Congressmen voting on it! (Imagine that!)
However after that I would have no objection,
IF the Congress wishes to work on creating a pilot HealthCare program which MANDATES that ALL Congress be enrolled in FOR LIFE, all federal retirees, and ALL Federal employees be enrolled in while they are employed.
Let’s see how well they can design something that they and their union and non-union buddies are required to purchase. Maybe they would even decide it is worth their time to read the bill. In such a public program, ANY other American would be allowed to VOLUNTARILY enroll in that program at any time with the same premium schedule. However, since they are not federal employees, they would be free to change out of it annually. In addition if that program EVER runs a deficit, premiums would be IMMEDIATELY be increased to cover the cost, or benefits must IMMEDIATELY be cut. It can NOT run deficits.
Let’s see how what type of “money saving”, “excellent”, “desirable”, “keep doctor”, “public”, “coop”, “competitive” health care program that they design for themselves and their minions first.
PROVE IT FIRST, Dear Leader and CONGRESS
If you build it, and prove it, we will come, and willingly.
Nobama! Chicago’s closed tomorrow. He organized the hell out of that community.
Thanks for the ping!
