All one has to be is an illegal alien and free health care is yours. The best in the world available now and open for business in virtually every American Hospital via. their Emergency Room.

The intentional and deliberate imploding of the US Economy last year was preordained by first milking the American Taxpayer for more then a decade by unregulated, undocumented illegals who get free education, free birthing and free health care at taxpayers expense.

Yes. Fear the immigrants. The immigrants are coming, the immigrants are coming. They are going to raid all our emergency rooms and steal all our free health care.

Meanwhile, please ignore the health insurance industry's attempts to profit more from your misery. Fail to notice that you are paying way more into your health care coverage than you are getting out of it (except for those of you who either don't have coverage or have been dropped from coverage by the UHC/Cigna/Blue Cross/etc 's death panels). Don't notice the exorbitant rise in their profits while the quality of health care in this country goes down the drain and costs rise to astronomical heights. Ignore the studies that noww show that you more likely to survive from years of smoking than lack of insurance companies. Don't notice the attempt by their millions of dollars a day lobbying attempts to force you to buy their coverage and have the Government subsidize their profits to the tune of another 1/2 trillion dollars. After all, even though the bill specifically states that "[n]othing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States,” this is the number one issue that you should be very afraid of, RIGHT???

Health care is a fight against death, and through their greed, the Insurance Companies and their Republican enablers have taken Death's side. Grayson correctly called out their solution to Health reform: Don't get sick, but if you do DIE QUICKLY!!! Which side are you on, life or death???

By far, the main problem(s) with healthcare in TX are the Free-Loading Illegals.. duh

Otherwise, we have More good Doctors, here in TX, because of our common sense, torte reform, which limits the over-compensation for "pain & suffering" of Frivolous Lawsuits against Doctors..

Hey, Stupid, socialist, self-Bankrupted State Leaders (and lying msm hacks) who lick up to Lawyers, while rejecting needed torte reforms..

Next time you little Geniuses, or your Kid, needs one of the few Doctors left in your broke, crappy state.. the ACLU and Liberal Loyyas Guild are probably, gleefully, waiting for your call..

BTW.. abc news, Lib-dips, etc, must be Jealous..

An article appeared yesterday in the Wilmington New Journal from the associated Press writter Alicia Long entitled;

Practices add to suffering of some elderly, study says.(treatments futile when patients have only months to live)

Lets stop there with the second closed caption premise, used to set the story up. ANY TREATMENT one can say is futile, because ultimately we are all going to die. No?

As I sensed, similar to last years run on everyone of the baby boomers 401 K's, now worth a pithy $15,000.00 on average, they are making an end run on the Boomers health care. 180 million readying to retire. ALthough the ulterior motives and intentions are not articulated as boldly as I will shortly make them, its a fact one must not allow to escape the debate that a person spends 80% of the Health Care coverage the last 6 months of their life. If these insurance companies, lawyers and investors can find a way to circumvent from 6 months to 3 months giving solice counselin to granny on why she must just relax and get off the planet jently, it sets a most dangerous Eugenic agenda and precedent for every person living on the face of the Earth today, no matter their age.

The article one should read for oneself. No matter the study being done by Federal funds ( OUR TAX dollars) it fails to address WHO conducted the study. THe emotions run strong in the first paragraph , as if ......"oh, they are suffering so..... let them go..... " akin to Dr Kovorkians beseachings.

Mark my words. They are making an end run on my generations end of life care. Talking bout my generation.

Ever wonder why we have birthers, deathers, tea baggers and the like, trying to discredit Obama at every opportunity. Possibly because he has made reforms the top priority of his agenda! Think about it! Why the concerted effort to paint him as a liar, explain away his successes, question his birthplace, etc...? Could it be the millions of dollars per day spent in lobbying and astroturf protests by the health insurance companies and their Republican enablers who don't want Congress to touch the goose that has been laying their golden eggs? At a time when these Health Insurance companies are reaping exorbitant profits at the expense of our fellow citizens, these insurance companies have launched an all out assault on any attempt to reform health care in this country.

They will try to scare you away with talk about big government, socialism, lies from Obama, communism, killing Grandma, illegals getting all our healthcare, and middle class taxes rising. Show them you've had enough of their fear mongering tactics. After all, aren't you tired of living in fear after 8 years of BUSH?

Stand up for your rights and stop being afraid. Read the HR 3200 for yourselves instead of relying on Fox News talking points or Sarah Palin's facebook page. bring legitimate concerns you may have with the bill to the attention of your congressional representative. Let's have an intelligent conversation for a change on this important issue! We are, after all, a free AMERICA! Home of the Brave! We are not the home of the afraid!

Those who cloud the issue of Health reform talk of America's greatness in Healthcare, but they fail to distinguish between emergency care and actual health care. While the U.S. may have the best Emergency care and best medical technology in the world, but that doesn't help much when the citizens of this country cannot afford it! Infant mortality rates, premature death, life expectancy, and all the other measures of a nations quality of healthcare show the United States well behind other industrialized nations. Ask yourself, if our health care system is SO GREAT, then why are so many uninsured and why do we rank so low on previously mentioned measures of national healthcare? Why does the U.S. spend so much more per person per capita as a percentage of GDP in health care costs as compared to other countries? With so much money being funneled into healthcare, we should be on top across the board on every measure? BUT WE ARE NOT!

The immigrant clause, the communist/socialist claims, the 'Kill Grandma' propaganda, and the death panel fear mongering campaign by these well funded health insurance companies want you to fear any changes to their stranglehold on the American economy. The Public option (i.e. Medicare available to all for a fee) is the biggest threat to these greedy DEATH supporters. They cannot fight based on the facts, so these shysters resort to petty insults in hopes that you will become afraid of change and go away. Didn't we get enough of that fear mongering with BUSH!

This is AMERICA! We are last remaining Superpower and the most admired country on the planet. We've won world wars and we've taken the fight to the terrorists, both foreign and domestic. It’s time to stop living in fear and take back our country from these fear mongers and Death supporters. Call/write/email your congressional representative and tell them it is time to repeal the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945.

Health care is a fight against Death, and through their greed, the Insurance Companies and their Republican enablers have taken DEATH's side. Grayson correctly called out their solution to Health reform: Maintain the status quo! Don't get sick, but if you do, DIE QUICKLY!!!

Remember! The Insurance industry funded astroturf protesters and their Republican co-conspirators will try to scare you away with talk about big government, socialism, communism, higher taxes for the middle class, and illegals getting all our healthcare.

American citizens are fraking dying and these snake oil salesman are trying to scare you away from supporting health reform that could help reduce costs, cover more people, improve the quality of health care in this country (as opposed to emergency care), and reduce their stranglehold over our struggling economy. Think about it! Don't let these shysters pull another one over your head. Didn't we get enough of that fear mongering with BUSH!

Why just yesterday, the almighty powerful Health Insurance cartel threatened Congress with higher premiums for all Americans. I don't know about y'all, but America doesn't negotiate with terrorists (foreign or domestic). Did you know that the Insurance Giants have been exempt from Federal Antitrust Laws since 1945? The antitrust exemption for insurance companies, which was enacted in the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945, has allowed these healthcare insurance companies to avoid Federal oversight to protect consumers against such activities as price fixing, bid rigging and market allocation. Time to put these arrogant health Insurance companies back in their place by repealing the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945. Call/write/email your congressional representative and tell them it is time to repeal the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945.

Over twenty years ago an English professor told the class that certain entites,(insurance companies, bankers, oil personnel) were going to try to eliminate the US middle class. I should have heeded the warning.

As far as immigrants are concern, almost everyone immigrated to the US except Native Americans. Do you think the US is getting its karma? The people in this country need to lower the volumn of hate, maybe then we can become civilized. Yes, that's right civilized.

You might have to restrict the amount you spend on Christmas presents, or make other savings in order to stay within your budget, but you realize the folly of ending up severely out of pocket.
