White House Says No Quid Pro Quo Over Health Care (Obama still buying votes)
fox news ^ | 3/4/2010 | Dominique Pastre

Posted on 03/05/2010 4:11:22 AM PST by tobyhill

The White House is denying that its nomination of Scott Matheson for U.S. Circuit Court Judge has anything to do with the fact that his brother, Congressman Jim Matheson, is on the fence when it comes to supporting the President's health care reform proposal.

The Utah Democrat, who last year voted against the health care bill in the House, was invited to the White House Wednesday evening for a reception to thank members of Congress who supported Pay-As-You-Go or PAYGO legislation. The list of invitees for the reception included several lawmakers who remain undecided on the current reform proposal the President has outlined.

Conservative bloggers and some Republicans have suggested that the nomination of Scott Matheson for the Tenth Circuit is an effort by the Obama administration to buy his brother's vote on health care.

These people lie so easily. Even if they ever told the truth, nobody would believe them.

NOTHING I or anyone does would prevent this pos from taking any bribe from obammy.

You can thank the gerrymandering of districts for that.

At least your’s has a brain, maybe a criminal brain, but a brain. I have Corine Brown, who is quoted on the news saying health care is in the Con-stu-tu-soooon. She can not complete a full sentence in English.

The Obozo Administration has a track record. Read opposite of what they proclaim , instead the “No” should be and “Yes” inserted.

American people are on to this pattern. there is a term for this it is called - pathological liar. A lawyer views this as plausible deniability. Learned through harvard law School and practiced Chicago Thug Politics, ACORN and Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

On the issue of health care, Alcie doesn't need a bribe. He's on board with the main thrust of the issue, which is a giant transfer payment. I think that when people focus on the issue of whether or not the government can force you to mandate coverage, they are missing the point. "Mandated" coverage for those who are given it at a drastically reduce price is "nearly free" coverage paid for by others.

Alcie may take bribes from all comers, but he isn't going to require one for his vote on this matter.

He voted no the first time so it’s hard to believe that since nothing changed in the bill he would now vote yes unless it’s a bought vote.

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

http://economicspolitics.blogspot.com/2009/05/tricare-for-life-is-obama-trying-to.html

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases

http://www.navytimes.com/news/2009/10/military_tricarefees_blocked_100709w/

By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009

Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.

The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.

“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.
