Healthcare Reform Key Concepts - an analysis from a conservative healthcare professional

Power point presentation | 3.18.10 | ohioWfan

[ohioWfan]

This is an adaptation of a power point presentation given by my husband, a 35 year health care professional, analyzing the health care bills, and giving details as to the consequences of their passage.

He presented this to hospital personnel and other health care professionals after reading every page of both bills (and Obama's "proposal," and there is information in it that may be useful to FReepers in this debate.

I hope it proves useful in giving added information to those of us who have not read these monstrosities.

[ohioWfan]

PING!

[Oceander]

Wow, thank you for the information! And thank your husband for having the fortitude and cast-iron stomache needed to wade through so much DEEM-ocrat offal.

[ohioWfan]

PING!

Special thanks to mkjessup for encouraging me to post this presentation to FR.

[Tarpon]

Good data -- One fine point, it's not about heath care. It's about destroying the economic freedom of America, and the American middle class.

[ohioWfan]

You're welcome, Oceander.

And I can testify that it was painful even to watch him go through piles of papers with his highlighter night after night!

[ohioWfan]

This was a presentation to health care professionals, therefore the title.

We both know exactly what the motivation is here - to destroy America. Period.

[Tarpon]

I just wanted to add something ... Yep, that’s what is going on, the destruction of America as we know it.

And all the procedural spats we are seeing is what the Constitution is all about ‘procedure’.

[ohioWfan]

Exactly. It’s all smoke and mirrors to try to hide the real agenda.

This is from a 2007 contact list of congressional aides. Some might not be there any longer, but worth a try. The ones on the one post are senate aides, a few have bounced back, it’s worth the effort to clog up their email system along with the phones, and 1/3rd of these senators are up for re-election.

Contact congressional aides.

Good idea from the bloggers at Hillbuzz:

http://hillbuzz.org/2010/03/17/action-items-march-17th-2010/
They offer specifics and links on how to put pressure on Dem DONORS, who have private numbers for legislators who may have taken their phones off the hook.
Congress may not want to hear from us, but they’ll listen to the money men.

KEEP THE CALLS UP! DC OFFICE LOCAL OFFICE

CODE RED Contact list http://www.nrcc.org/CodeRed/targets/
Remember they are all being offered BRIBES for their votes.

Ask them how much their bribe price is.
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

On the Bubble (Major developments from the “yes” and “no” columns in the House)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2467046/posts

Congressional Dems on Twitter
http://www.arrghpaine.com/congressional-dems-on-twitter
And here are toll-free numbers we can use to call any Senators or Reps.

At the first number below you must wait through a tape recording urging you to tell your Rep or Senator to vote “yes” for the health care bill. Just hang on and when the recording is over, you will get the Capitol operator. Just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Then you will either talk to an aid or have the chance to leave a message for him/her to vote NO on the health care bill.

When you use the second number and the Capitol operator comes on, just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Every time I use this number I get the Rep or Senator’s answer machine, so it may be set up that way all the time...to go to their answer machine. Either way you can leave a message to vote NO on the health care bill!

We need to use these toll free numbers that have been set up for the health care/ BO supporters and illegals to use! After all they are FREE!

The democrats have an awfully bizarre idea that health care is a “right” we’re forced to buy.

[ohioWfan]

Ping!

May be of interest to some of your ping lists.

[throwback]

I don’t want to be an American anymore.

[ohioWfan]

Thank you GailA!

You might want to add Rep. John Boccieri (D), Ohio 16th to your list

Voted Yes on Stupak, NO on Health Care.

Bizzare is a nice word for their “idea.”

[ohioWfan]

If this monstrosity passes, the America we have known and loved will be gone.

IT MUST NOT PASS!!

[grumpygresh]

I applaud you and your husbands efforts. I am a physician and I am also giving public talks against 0bamacare. I believe that the illegal “receoncilation” process facilitated by the Slaughter rule contains even worse provisions than the Senate bill. The mandate penalties in the reconciled bill are percentage based on income and would be much higher than the flat Senate $750/2250 penalties. There is also a more overt provision for a public option.

We should also explore the silver lining if 0bamacare is passed and after rules come out. There are exemptions for religious objectors, undocumented immigrants, hardship cases, Indian tribes. I believe that if 0bamacare passes, we must examine these rules, create organizations that allow persons to claim exemptions and challenge this legislation on this basis.

[ohioWfan]

Thank you grumpygresh. My husband has also given multiple talks in the community to raise awareness about the truth about this terrible bill.

Thanks for the added input and the link. We need to continue to work together on this.

[88keys]

If only we could see this type of no-nonsense itemized listing on the front page of our daily paper...

Congress might still try and force their own wishes on us, but it would make it a lot harder...

(great info. here, BTW - thanks! that's a "print and save"...!)

[ohioWfan]

In a just world we would see this information everywhere. But we're clearly not there, are we?

I'm glad you found this useful. That's the idea. :)
