Letters to the Editor: Not in touch

Full story: Pasadena Star-News

One of the lead news stories last week read, "House Republican leaders held a news conference Saturday to say that they are going to do whatever they can to make sure the Democratic health care plan does not pass." There is one thing, and only one thing that I am clear about.

I guess if you believe in a Socialist form of government and a bankrupt USA you should be pleased with the House approval of the health care bill. There are ways to fix Mr. Clarks and others problems without destroying the current system. If you believe this program is not adding to the deficit, or destroying Medicare Advantage as well as adding to the debt, I have a bridge to sell you.

this Trillion dollar health plan will serve about 15% of the people. The other 85% that have insurance will be paying for the 15% that dont'.

Obamaism is here and we are doomed!

Well this paper certainly cherry-picked and avalanched us with a batch of pro-socialized medicine letters. None of these letter writers has, of course, an inkling of all the details, the costs, the delays that are built into the current bill. They have no clue how awful and harmful this bill is, and how little it will do to help them. And to sit there and praise the House members who voted for it? How about asking those congressmen if they can tell you what's actually in the bill, then watch for the stupefied look on their faces, and shifting eyes, as they struggle to answer something they know they can't. Heads on a stick!

Betty Dong wants to know who Dreier is representing. I know, he is representing those who actually vote for him, and would not do so if he supported a socilaized medicen effort of the nutty left.
I know all of Dreier's supporters wish we had some representation in the Senate to stand up against the obvious Ruin of the USA.

Nothing sadder than folks who think they are funny who actually aren't. Who, other than your aged auntie, types LOL after their own comments.

Sad really.

I wonder how many who have written glowing letters about Obamacare have read any part of the almost 2000 pages of the bill. Most people who have health care now are content with what they have. The whole system does not need fixing. Obamacare will cost over a Trillion dollars. Obama plans to cut five hundred million from Medicare which means from senior citizens in most cases. In other words he expects to recoup half of the Trillion for his plan by Medicare Advantage and other Medicare coverage cuts so that if you are a senior citizen or will eventually become one you can kiss full coverage goodbye. Whether or not you get the care you need when you are in your senior years will depend on how important you are to anyone by a bureaucrat who knows nothing about health care. A doctor who knows what you need to be healthy will be limited to the medications or tests he prescribes for you because he will be fined if it turns out according to the bureaucrat that you didn't live long enough to warrant the help you had been given. Do you want BIG BROTHER TO DECIDE whether you live or die? I had to laugh out loud when I heard a Democrat say that Republicans want you to DIE! What he should have said as a Democrat is we want you to die when you're old and no use to society and we'll cut your health care so you will. Those of you as senior citizens who have been trusting in the AARP to do the right thing by you, check out the deal they made with Obama to support his health plan as you contemplate the underside of the bus they threw you under.

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Sagittarius

Slow down! You're trying to do too much and it's driving you - and everyone else - up the wall. What's more, if you're in too much of a hurry you'll start to become accident-prone and that will make you even more het up. Try to take any setbacks or domestic mishaps in your stride, otherwise you'll end the day feeling like a nervous wreck.
