U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln is pretending that the secretly written, +2,000 page, government takeover, Medicaid robbing, healthcare takeover efforts by Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and special interest groups. She is also pretending that if Reidcare is stopped, it will mean no healthcare reform is possible. This is a lie used to justify any and all bad parts of Reidcare, the government takeover plan in the U.S. Senate. To give political cover for herself, Blanche has used the same excuse after every vote to move forward with just different phases. Below are some quotes from Blanche Lincoln after continuing Reidcare:
"Although this isn't a perfect bill, I believe that opposing all reform is simply not an option" 10/13/09 after the committee vote
" it is more important that we begin this debate to improve our nation's health-care system for all Americans rather than just simply drop the issue and walk away." 11/22/09 after the vote to allow debate
The good news is that many Arkansas voters have rejected the government takeover bills and are planning on firing Blanche Lincoln. The bad news is that many people still believe that the government takeover bills are the only way to reform healthcare, because they don't know about other bills such as S1099, The Patients Choice Act of 2009 (House version HR2520). S1099 allows out of state buying of health insurance, improves health savings accounts, reduces Medicare fraud, & stop junk lawsuits. Blanche Lincoln knows about S1099, but she wants to convince enough people that she did the best she could in the "debate to improve our nation's health-care system" to keep her job. Here's a link to video of when she was told about S1099 a few months ago:

Here is The Patient's Choice Act on Thomas Library that Blanche Lincoln & staff was unable to find:

Imagine if you told your boss that you had a 2,000 page, government takeover plan to fix a problem but that was only one way to fix the problem. Now image your boss found out that there was a 21 page, cheaper, better way to fix that problem that didn't involve government takeover. What would happen to you? What should happen to Blanche?
Forgot to mention that Michelle Malkin will be at the Double Tree in Little Rock on December 12th at 12. There will be a book signing at 10:30am.
What should happen to Lincoln and Dodd and all Democrats is FIRED.
So much talk about Lincoln. I know she’s up for re-election in 2010, but is Pryor any better? Isn’t he going along with the Dims on Obamacare? Arkansans should mentioning Pryor’s stances on these issues also, and making plans for his next re-election bid.
The ad does mention Pryor who is also a liberal.
