Here are a list of calm, reasoned, embarrassing quesations to ask your parasitic whore Congresscritter during your next Town Hall meeting.
Be polite, earnest, and respectful.
1. It was stated in 1965 by Ted Kennedy, in his Immigration and Naturalization Services Act, that "...our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset....”. How do we have any confidence the predictions for this> bill will be any more accurate?
2. According to Reason magazine, "The House Ways and Means Committee estimated that Medicare would cost only about $ 12 billion by 1990 (a figure that included an allowance for inflation). This was a supposedly "conservative" estimate. But in 1990 Medicare actually cost $107 billion." How can we be sure the current bill won't turn into the same boondoggle (even the Congressional Budget Office is calling B.S. on Obama's numbers.)
3. The current bill pays for abortion on demand. Will it include a freedom-of-conscience provision for hospitals to exempt them from paying for it?
4. If not, how do you expect to make up for the shortfall of doctors and hospitals when they quit?
5. The current bill pays for abortion on demand. Would this bill have forced Sarah Palin to abort her youngest child, Trig?
6. This bill pays for abortion on demand. Will it pay for other elective procedures such as tummy tucks, teeth whitening, botox, and breast implants?
7. This bill pays for abortion on demand. Given the emphasis on cost containment and prevention, will there be mandatory sterilization of patients who present with three or more pregnancies for abortion in a two-year period?
8. Will this bill cover in-vitro fertilization? For how many attempts, and for how long?
9. Will this bill allow patients to consult with their doctors about using different drugs with similar functions to avoid side effects?
10. How often will this bill review accepted medical treatments for unforeseen side effects (Celebrex, Thalidomide)?
11. How will malpractice be handled? Did you make sure the trial lawyers still get to sue everyone?
12. You have spoken extensively about greedy insurance companies. What is the lifetime deductible and the lifetime limit on benefits? Is it per person or per family?
13. Which pre-existing conditions will be covered, and for what period of time? It does not seem fair to exclude the obese (as has been suggested in Great Britain) but to allow (say) diabetics.
14. Will medical marijuana be covered? What FDA group will handle guarantees of purity, safety, and efficacy?
15. What about methadone and other treatments for narcotic addictions?
16. Will this affect intellectual property rights for pharamceuticals?
17. Will medial tourism (say to Mexico or India) be made illegal?
18. Will the plan cover smokers? Will it cover diabetics? What about sexually transmitted diseases? What guidelines will be put in place to reduce the prevalence of these conditions over time, in order to reduce costs?
19. Will AIDS be covered? How about domestic partners of homosexuals?
20. Will burial or cremation be covered?
21. Will Americans be allowed to participate in the same health plan as Federal Goverment employees?
22. Will Americans be allowed to participate in the same health plan as Congress?
23. Will we at least get health care as good as the terrorists in Guantanamo?
24. Will hospitals still be obligated to provide emergency room care for free to all comers?
25. How do we know our health records won't be pawed through like Joe the Plumber's private records? When was the last time a government bureaucrat lost their job over unauthorized snooping into health records?
26. In 2007, the British government LOST the private data on all British families with a child under the age of 16. How can we have the bureaucrat burned at the stake, drawn and quarterd, hung, fed to the lions, and then REALLY hurt who does this to our data -- note I say "when" not "if".
27. What guarantees do we have against our private data being sent to a Third-World country for processing "to save costs"?
28. How will you protect our private data against identity theft?
29. A June study out of the George Washington University Medical Center says that 10% of the ENTIRE cost of Medicare is fraud: and 80% of that is health care providers. Given that this program is even larger, how can we be sure we are not just pouring money into the pocket of some Congressman's brother-in-law?
30. Is mental health covered under this bill? Because you guys are just freaking NUTS !
At Wednesday's health care forum in Little Rock with Rep. Vic Snyder, Rep. Mike Ross said this to the audience - most of whom were there to show their disapproval with the Obamacare plan:
"I've said this several times but let me see if I can make it a little more clear," Ross said. "I don't represent Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi or President Obama or (House Finance Committee Chairman) Barney Frank."
In order to let you make your own conclusion as to the "truthiness" of Mr. Ross' remarks, I point you to the fact that he voted for the Obama-Pelosi-Frank-backed porkulus and omnibus spending bills in the 111th Congress, the $3.6 trillion budget, as well as the draconian Democrat House rules package which limited Republican ways to debate and amend legislation.
However, he did oppose the cap and tax bill, for which we are grateful.
The more I hear about this, the more I start to wonder if maybe the "birthers" might be right. I confess, when all this began I doubted the validity of their claims, but the more people dig into this, the more I begin to say; you know, I would also like to know about the passport, student loans, and other claims. It might be fairly easy to post another fake Birth claim, but I want to hear from all the people from his past who can show proof of exactly what he was all about through the years.
Here's what they don't get:
- Americans overwhelmingly opposed the bailout - too bad, got it anyway.
- Americans demanded in huge numbers that the stimulus package be stopped - they DID NOT WANT it - too bad, got it anyway.
- Americans raised their voices in protest to the cap and trade bill - too bad, got it anyway.
- Now Americans are screaming from the rooftops STOP THE SOCIALIST HEALTHCARE! - they say too bad, you're getting it anyway.
So now, they they think we have to pay people to protest this treatment? Have they heard even one word the American people have said?
