Fact: I will never join the AARP.
Funny, I always thought that I had the right to talk with my doctor.
Ditto.
After seeing that guy on Glenn Beck today and reading this, I’m convinced that these people (including Obama) have NOT read the legislation. The AARP guy on GB this afternoon kept saying they wouldn’t support any legislation that had any rationing in it.
I’m also convinced that these people are so used to lying to cover up their complicity in crimes, cover-ups and corruption they don’t even know what the truth is. The truth is that AARP gets 10% of its budget from the Federal government and they don’t want to lose it. Period.
Did Beck actually quote, line by line, from the bill?
BTW: I love how they refute the “reform” as socialized medicine but don’t directly dispute it. That’s because whenever you ask a lib what socialism is they claim it is anything but what they believe even if their views match millions of admitted socialists around the world.
..The government will audit your books if you self-insure.
The newly created Commissioner will submit a report to the government that includes "any recommendation the Commissioner deems appropriate to ensure that the law DOES NOT PROVIDE incentives for small and mid-size employers to self-insure." (21.23-23.3)
This is just one of 17 provisions that WORLD has summarized and posted to its website, www.worldmag.com, found under Washington's Prescription, The Editors, Healthcare.
Excellent material for information and hand-out. This is an absolute outrage.
Others: The government will define your "health benefits" ... will ration your care ... will establish and administer a public health insurance program ... will define how doctors manage their time ... will tax employers for not providing healthcare ... will tax individuals unless you are a foreign resident ... will order you to get end-of-life counseling and show proof ... will limit your hospital readmissions by penalizing hospitals ... will restrict coverage of special needs patients ... will not let you sue over coverage limits and costs decisions ... will mandate what physicians make ... will have access to your bank accounts ... will not call the fees it imposes taxes ... will issue you a health ID card ... will enlist or create outreach programs like ACORN to sign-up individuals in government-run plan; will create a new bureaucracy to include phone healthcare. References with page numbers and line items are given each provision.
These AARP Weasels should ride along with the RAT politicians to help explain how cutting money from Medicare is going to make it better.
Bump and thanks to all for the info. Keep it coming.
AARP is leftist and supports abortion.
No time, but it was clear the guy has not read one line of the bill and was simply spewing Obamapoints.
Nobody would expect their team to have to play against someone who writes the rule book and calls the fouls. How long before the other teams decide they just can't compete when all of their plays are ruled illegal and they are called on things their opponent never gets called on.
If you think it's not fair now, just wait until the government starts to play rough. Sure you can keep your doctor, as long as he agrees to play for the government team.
Remember, you get what you pay for. If the taxpayer is forced to pay for it the price will go up while the quality goes down.
AARP is a hopelessly RAT-infested organization. There is no point trying to talk sense to the leftoids who run the place.
Besides, the brass is salivating at the prospect of making money on health care deform.
Look at most any print media these days and you’ll see the same thing; the editor and the majority of the staff are women. Women voted overwhelmingly for Obama and women vote primarily for Democrats, always falling for the schmaltz about “we’ll take care of the kids for you.” Yeah, like aborting them.
These are witting or unwitting propagandists, working for their master at no charge.
Good to see the AARP is still a non-partisan organization. :)
Now we can move on to exposing those damn town hall protesters for the partisan groups they are...
Why would you even post those lies here? THOSE are the talking points that the Obots are using all over the internet and they are all BULLSH*T!
One slogan that we could employ is similar to what the pro-abortion loons have told us since 1973 - It’s my body, and the government needs to keep their hands off it!
AARP appears infiltrated by ACORN organization. AARP has gone into the insurance business, every kind imaginable. So that is why they sold out elderly members...they won’t need them once zero has ruined insurance companies.
SSSHHHEEESSS!!!!! Testy are we? What you think I support this crap? I got this in an email stating that there is nothing to fear! AARP is here to protect you! ROTFLMAO at the BS.
