Why do you call it 'un-american?' Right now I have NO health coverage. I'm treating myself for flu as we speak. My husband has a pre-existing condition and will NEVER get an ins. co. to cover him. My sis in law HAS insurance and she's been screwed around since JULY and is STILL in the hospital...about to be transferred to a nursing home because her doctors can't get her surgery right. Gimme a break...SOME health oversight is better than NONE. Now go tune in fox news and stuff yourself with lies.


Sorry for your luck, but I HAVE insurance and I am Happy with it, why should my life change because of YOUR status??????????????????????????????????????????????????????​?????????????????????????? Please understand that this 'so called' bill is NOT what you may THINK it is!!!!!!!!!!
 Quoting: Just me 812857


Thanks for your condolences, but, have you had to USE your insurance lately? Try going to a hospital and see what happens. How about your co-pay? Has it gone up like EVERYONE ELSE'S has? How about the meds you take? Like those prices? Come on. OF COURSE this bill (or any other bill) is not what we THINK it is...they are all full of PORK, lobbyists' interists, and poli-tics. But right now we have NOTHING but the short end of the stick the insurance companies hand us...they OWN us. They are worse than the wall street thieves, worse than the banksters. Stop believing lies...like "YOUR life will change because of MY status?"

Re: If They Force This Anti American Health Care Bill Down Our Throats What Can We Do To Fight Back?Quote

Well, according to the law, this is what is supposed to be done and really, it sound pretty good to me:

-Form a group of people (local officials, law officers, military, and business owners) that feel the same way you do.
-Organize a meeting in order to split the legal fees and get a lawyer to find out which laws have been broken and which charges need to be placed.
-File a multi-person law suit against all the representatives and politicians in favor of this bill.
-If your representative votes in favor of, head to their office and demand their resignation for breaking the law. Give them 30 days to resign. Give them a copy of the law suit, just in case it wound up ‘missing’.
-If they refuse to resign within 30 days, head to your sheriffs office and tell him he needs to place them under arrest for the several constitutional laws that were broken.
-Tell your sheriff if he does not enforce the law, you will go to the media and expose him for doing such. In addition, tell him he too will need to resign.
-Find the deputies and remind them that they swore to uphold the laws of the land.
-Find the local judge and tell him you intend to place the representative under citizens arrest for the said charges. Then, demand that if he sets bail to order the representative temporarily dismissed until further notice. Tell the judge he must set hearing dates for the said charges. Remind the judge how serious of an issue this is and if it is treason, bail should NOT be set.
-Go to the representative’s office and place them under citizen’s arrest. Hand them over to a deputy.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 550635


Not Constitutional

U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 6
Article 1 - The Legislative Branch
Section 6 - Compensation

(The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States.) (The preceding words in parentheses were modified by the 27th Amendment.) They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.


Also Article 1, Section 3, Clause 6

Clause 6: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.



BUT, if you look at Section 9, Clause 6

Clause 6: No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another: nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another.

This clause may make this healthcare bill unconstitutional under the regulation of Commerce. Thoughts?

What you explain is life and in your case your problems are NOT someone else's problems. Your husband should have gotten insurance BEFORE he was 'pre-existing'. Most people choose to squander their life away spending their earnings on toys trinkets, beer and foolish luxuries pretending their are the king and queen of America. As soon as hard times come, they expect the government to come to their aid. THAT IS NOT THE JOB OF THE GOVERNMENT! The government has two jobs. Representing the people and defending the nations THAT IS IT. Medicaid, food stamps, welfare are all just more ways for government officials to STEAL MONEY. Not tote along pathetic slobs too lazy to NOT feel sorry for themselves.

If your suffering now then you should get a job. Work from home if need be. I don't care how old you are. You AND your pre-existing husband. But just as a reminder, America was robbed blind by thieves and madmen in our GOVERNMENT. Our money is all gone. In a perfect system, America would be so wealthy we could afford health care for the entire world. So go ahead, wish to give the thieves more control for your own benefit. You won't be one penny more fortunate. In fact, if I were you, I would prepare for further suffering.

Sorry to probably really make you angrier...The dems do want your 401K - here's an article from last year, this IS in the works.

R.E.P.O. is designed to protect America’s interest from the failures of the free market and capitalism, giving citizens hope for brighter days in their golden years. According to reports from Capitol Hill, the plan works this way as a repurchase agreement for a financial institution.

The federal government will repossess your 401K, give you a three percent return through government bonds, and then if you live long enough to collect it, administer it back to you—via the Social Security Administration—at a much lower rate because of the astoundingly high taxes.

House Democrats Contemplate Abolishing 401(k) Tax Breaks
Powerful House Democrats are eyeing proposals to overhaul the nation’s $3 trillion 401(k) system, including the elimination of most of the $80 billion in annual tax breaks that 401(k) investors receive.

House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller, D-California, and Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Washington, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee’s Subcommittee on Income Security and Family Support, are looking at redirecting those tax breaks to a new system of guaranteed retirement accounts to which all workers would be obliged to contribute.

A plan by Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economic-policy analysis at the New School for Social Research in New York, contains elements that are being considered. She testified last week before Miller’s Education and Labor Committee on her proposal.

At that hearing, the director of the Congressional Budget Office, Peter Orszag, testified that some $2 trillion in retirement savings has been lost over the past 15 months. (....continued at link)

The govt stance on flu is to do exactly what you are doing. They advise NOT to go to doctor or hospital with flu. See CDC and other instructional places.

If what your husband has is chronic, he won't receive treatment anyway because they do not approve treatment for anything chronic that is not COST EFFECTIVE.

Past a certain age, no joint replacemnts, expensive treatments because of not being cost effective. They only treat what can be cured by the cheapest available methods.

The "panels" have to approve things as cost effective before treatment is given.

Good god, got a little anger management issue going on, don't you? Talk about confusing the issue....
FYI, both my husband and I HAVE 'jobs' ....we are small business owners and HAVE BEEN for over 25 years. We have never used medicaid, food stamps, welfare or any other gov't. handout. We live off the grid, we recycle what trash we generate, we don't smoke or drink. So your 'foolish luxuries' statement does not apply.

It always amazes me that people who are so brainwashed they can't even THINK about others who are not in their same position/lifestyle revert to confusing the issues and downright cruelty, using terms like 'lazy slobs' 'king and queen of america' etc.

The madmen who robbed us of our money were instituted by and left ungoverned by the 'hands off' republican mantra. Who do you think was in power while wall street danced away with our money? Enron? AIG? Big Banks? Turn your anger away from blaming PEOPLE and learn the HISTORY of our government.

I know they do! And they are going to start with State retirement plans first I think.

Yes, must take them for our own good!

And it does make me angrier. I am even thinking of taking the ten percent hit and liquidating all of it. Have been doing so incrementally but from need mostly. Think I will just take it all after first of year for new tax year.

Then declare bankruptcy as I am already losing my home, won't have any assets as will not pay on my car except payments as required. There will be nothing in assets they can take then.

They have wanted to get their hands on everyone's 401k and IRA for a while now. Wanna bet they sneak in a provision that when you turn 65 (or 70) they can grab your retirement "to provide for your old age care".

Sorry to probably really make you angrier...The dems do want your 401K - here's an article from last year, this IS in the works.

A plan by Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economic-policy analysis at the New School for Social Research in New York, contains elements that are being considered. She testified last week before Miller’s Education and Labor Committee on her proposal.

At that hearing, the director of the Congressional Budget Office, Peter Orszag, testified that some $2 trillion in retirement savings has been lost over the past 15 months. (....continued at link)

VERY important post, desrving of it's own thread. I suggest you use a catchy title to get a pin - such as "DEMOCRATS PLANNING TO CONFISCATE 401K AND RETIREMENT FUNDS".
