Folks,

Senator Colbeck and Dr. David Janda were @ The Rattle With Us Tea Party Folks in Plymouth Mi Monday night, were after a 1/2 speech from Dr. Janda, Senator Colbeck outlined his program...

I tell you this is this 1st time I have been enthused about something that might stop Obamacare.

Senator Colbeck is a Rocket Scientist in real life, this program is well thought out, cause and effect.

More in my next post...

Being angry is great but free market solutions are better.

Now what was in the Presentation...

The concept is combine a HSA and "concierge" service for medical visits that are not catastrophic which are the HSA's forte.

The loophole in Obamacare for concierge can make this a reality. Their is more to it, as how you sign up, a trust for the indigent etc, but until the video is up on the web I don't want to steal their thunder or get the details wrong.

However, he did mention they reached out to the Emergency Manager in Detroit and the Fire and Police Unions. Anticipated savings for Detwaa could be 2.5 billion, and the state could save 7.8 billion ( conservative estimate ).

The presentation noted Medicaid cost the state / feds $5,000 per person and and this plan would be in the $2,400 to $2,600 area...

BTTT...

Folks, I think this a game changer, I can't wait for the details to get up on the web via page or pdf file...

I think this is going to be a big story if they can get it through the House and Senate and the Governor signs it...

What I see as most important here is a tea party/conservative based solution that reaches into democrat held territory at a time when they’re angry about the Obamacare disaster.

Americans for prosperity and the union conservatives have also been conducting “raids” into Detroit.

Look at what some smart physicians in Minnesota have decided to do!

http://www.southdaleinternalmedicinepa.com/Southdale_Internal_Medicine/Southdale_Internal_Medicine___Welcome.html

Go look at the fees they charge, and the services offered, via phone and email.

I am going to try to get in there.

Will be shot down for several reasons including .... it’s too damn efficient and cuts out too many administrators, insurance company profits, etc.

Far too many conservatives are just as destructive as the democrats when our only chance is to be builders.

Thanks CC...

I stand alone here in Fr-perdom on a screed to get people to look @ this.

Again I could be all wet, but IMHO Colbeck's Plan is the only hope I have seen in 2 years to fight Obamacare with something rather than nothing or a no vote.

I wish someone with some gravitas in the national media would see it and champion it, I really think he is onto something, and I think it could catch like wild fire...

Conservatives need to direct our anger into doing something positive. Being angry and doing nothing is exactly what Obama and the progs want.

I hate to sound like Yoda, anger not I have, confusion why no one will gravite to a new Idea and put them on the defensive and defend Obamacare vs Colbeck's idea, has me flummoxed, then again it is just a few days old. My and Conservatives energy might be best served in promoting something positive like this...
