Senate Vote On Health Care TOMORROW.
Email This Post
UPDATE: Debate is ON. Watch here.
The first vote on the Senate health care bill will be tomorrow. This is a procedural vote to attempt to bring the insanity to the floor for debate (cloture). 60 votes will be needed to do this, and anyone who votes for cloture is effectively voting for the bill. (Some may turn around and vote against the bill later to try and fool you into keeping them in office. Do not be fooled.)
There will be 10 hours of debate on the procedural vote, followed by the vote at 8pm ET. You know what this means! Phone lines at the Senate have been slammed all day. What to do? Plug in your zip here and get the direct line to your Senator’s office, along with an easy way to email. WEAR THOSE SUCKERS OUT.
The shenanigans in this bill are myriad. Abortion is back in. A new long-term care entitlement program is back in. Taxing your insurance benefits is still in. Huge reductions in Medicare benefits are in. Accounting gimmicks are always in.
The CBO estimates that H.R. 3962, the health bill that the House passed, would cost $1.2 TRILLION over 10 years, including the cost to states for mandated Medicaid expansion ($34 billion), the “Doc Fix” ($245 billion), and authorized discretionary spending for grants, public programs, changes and funding for a myriad of bureaucracies that would be responsible for implementing it.
The bill protects trial lawyers. The bill gives money to states that enact “certificate of merit” (a document signed by a medical professional that says there is a probability that the standard of care was violated) and/or a certificate of “early offer” (an early, confidential apology) laws, as long as the states don’t limit attorneys’ fees or impose caps on damages. Nothing is new under the sun.
The current version will give billions of dollars of taxpayer healthcare benefits to ILLEGAL ALIENS in America. It would allow illegal aliens to use the new healthcare “exchange” and would not require verification to keep illegal aliens out of the other parts of the proposed federal healthcare system. Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus fought back against reports that leaders would add Senate language to block illegal immigrants from participating in the insurance exchange.
It will create a nationwide federal government program, the “public option,” which will pay for abortion on demand — with federal funds, of course, because that is what federal agencies spend.
Liberals in the House AND the Senate ignored us when the majority said, “NO BAILOUT.” They ignored us when the majority said, “NO FAKE STIMULUS.” Now, they’re trying to ignore us when the majority demands with a clear voice, “NO GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF HEALTH CARE!”
Now is the time. Right now. Do your duty as an American and speak as you never have before. Our nation is on the brink, and the perpetual spending-machine of Washington is determined to push us over. They want us beholden to them forever.
We must stay strong and united. DO NOT GIVE UP, Right Soup. There is a reckoning coming quickly. Stay in the fight.
