GOP strategy - disrupted Dem town hall meetings

[Ravi]

Speaking out at public meetings shouldn't be considered 'disruptive.' Problem comes if the public is not given fair chances to speak also. Funny thing, it's quite easy to write letters to congressmen, but get a form letter back. More imput seems to be wanted, those that want to be reelected should at least listen and consider.

Speaking out at public meetings?

You must be kidding me!

They tried to pack the audience and shout down the speaker. The opposite of freedom of speech.

But don't worry. They are being called on their bullshit.

You boy are a f'ing idiot. Sorry about that, I know you are not worth responding to, just really pissed off at the action and the sheeple reaction. True fuktards you are part of.

Oh, the irony.

I agree.

Bring back competition. I think that you'll find out that the prices will come down when people won't pay the huge prices.

why would a couple in their 50's need coverage for pregnancy?
or a single man for that matter
they need to start offering these things "a la cart" so to speak
if you dont want to pay for coverage for say cataracts, why be forced to pay for it
of course, should you develope them later you should be able to add that to your coverage, but if no one in your family has ever had them, you're not likely to need it anyway

serious, you can do it with car insurance you should be able to do it with health insurance.

I've said this several times. Why don't they change health insurance so it's more like car insurance? Change the packaging, change how structure of it, how it's offered, etc. That's reform.

Don't start talking a la carte My friend. I'll start going off on tangents about My cable service provider and that won't be pretty.

I called Comcast about changing their packaging to ala carte. They just said I'd pay more. Really? Cause I'd only pay for what I watched, which is the basic channels and about 15 others. I'd save a bundle . . . which is why they won't do it. I want less channels for less money and all I get are more channels and a higher bill. But they tell me it's a deal.

This concept of "busted" is one formulated by whom? the DNC, or the several minion organizations that are incapable of self thought when it comes to issues. I have already decided that according to the DNC and the president that anyone who protests and uses their first Amendment right to speak out that is at a function constitutes more than one person is now a "mob" and are paid lobbyists there to subvert a message. So next time I see an anti-war protestor, torture protestor, environmental protestor, if I don't happen to agree with them I will of course apply the Obama/DNC standard when it comes to the constitution. If this sounds totally silly, then consider the fact the DNC has made the choice to single out Americans that don't agree with them and according to Saul Alinsky attack the messanger rather than the message. If you believe this is an American value then sadly I submit you or anyone who believes this knowns little of what it is to be an American. While the retort will be , "this is simply a political tactic" that does not make it honorable , in fact it sheds further light on the need to reform a process very much taken over by special interest rather than one that should reflect the will of the American people and contrary to some posters on here, while there may be a large support for healthcare reform, do not read into that as being large support for universal healthcare because guess what those polls shows the exact opposite.

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Why the Cost of Failing to Fix Our Health System Is Greater than the Cost of Reform

By Elizabeth Carpenter, Sarah Axeen, New America Foundation
New America Foundation | November 13, 2008

Introduction
The U.S. health care system is in crisis. Health care costs too much; we often get too little in exchange for our health care dollar; and tens of millions of Americans are uninsured.

Our economy loses hundreds of billions of dollars every year because of the diminished health and shorter lifespan of the uninsured. Rising health care costs undermine the ability of U.S. firms to compete internationally, threaten the stability of American jobs, and place increasing strain on local, state, and federal budgets. As health care costs continue to rise faster than wages, health insurance becomes more and more unaffordable for more and more American families every day.

Yet, the recent financial services meltdown has led some people to suggest that we cannot afford health reform and that fixing our broken health care system will have to wait once again. But waiting comes with a price. The crisis worsens every day that we do not act. Premiums will continue to rise; Americans will continue to pay more for less-generous health coverage; and fewer employers will offer health insurance to their workers.

We must reform our struggling health system not in spite of our economic crisis, but rather because of the impact health care has on the American economy. The economic and social impact of inaction is high and it will only rise over time.

Economic Cost
The economic cost of failing to fix our broken health care system is greater than the upfront expense of comprehensive health reform. In 2006, our economy lost as much as $200 billion because of the poor health and shorter lifespan of the uninsured. This is by most estimates as much as, if not greater than, the public costs of ensuring all Americans have quality, affordable, health coverage. The economies in California, Texas, and Florida suffer most from productivity loses stemming from the uninsured. Yet, Delaware’s economy loses more per uninsured person -- over $6,800 per uninsured resident.

Affordability
As health care costs continue to grow faster than wages, health insurance will become more and more unaffordable for more and more American families every day. The financial burdens associated with health care and health insurance will only get worse over time without action.The cost of the average employer-sponsored health insurance plan (ESI) for a family will reach $24,000 in 2016. This represents an 84 percent increase over 2008 premium levels. Under this scenario, we estimate that at least half of American households will need to spend more than 45 percent of their income to buy health insurance.

New Mexico, Maine, and South Carolina will see the greatest increases in the cost of family policies over the next eight years. In Maine, the average family employer-sponsored insurance policy will top $30,000 by 2016. According to our estimates, households in South Carolina, Louisiana, and Maine will have to spend the greatest shares of their income in order to purchase health insurance in 2016. Half of households in South Carolina will have to spend more than 62 percent of their incomes to buy health insurance in 2016.

Coverage
The financial protection offered by health insurance coverage will continue to deteriorate if we do not act. Americans will pay more for less and copayments and deductibles will rise. The average deductible nationwide will increase 73 percent to almost $2,700 by 2016. Average copayments will climb to $30.

Residents from Delaware and Vermont will see the biggest difference in their deductibles in 2016. Rising deductibles combined with higher premiums will make many Americans financially vulnerable to high health care bills. Residents of New Mexico, Massachusetts, and Hawaii will notice the biggest difference in how much they pay when they see a doctor in 2016. In New Mexico, a single office visit could cost an insured patient almost $50.

Conclusion
U.S. businesses, governments, and American families have all demonstrated that health care reform is a vital component of their long-term economic stability. Our nation will recover from its current financial services crisis, and when it does the U.S. will still be faced with a crumbling health system. As the data in this report shows, the cost of failing to act is high and it will only rise over time.

Hey Navy...Camus said: It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.

HERE is the organization that published and distributed the "memo"... this is NOT some spontaneous grass root movement...it is corporate interests and money using obtuse citizens as their minions. BTW, if this "conservative" organization promotes using Alinsky tactics, then they are now THEIR tactics...

"Use the Alinsky playbook of which the Left is so fond: freeze it, attack it, personalize it, and polarize it." in the FreedomWorks memo

FreedomWorks, founded in 1984 and described as a 501c4 "grassroots organization," is chaired by former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey. The organization's President is Matt Kibbe. FreedomWorks was formed in 2004 when Citizens for a Sound Economy merged with Empower America.

Dick Armey is the Chairman of FreedomWorks (previously Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE), and co-chairman of the Alliance for Retirement Prosperity. A lifelong Republican, Armey served as Majority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2002.

Astroturfing activities
Dick Armey's organization, FreedomWorks was behind the creation of a fake grassroots web site called Angryrenter.com which rallies opposition to "the Obama Housing Bailout." The site urges people to oppose bailing out mortgage companies. The site claims to represent "Renters and responsible homeowners against a government mortgage bailout."

Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE) is a powerful industry-funded think tank, promoting deregulation. It was founded by Koch Industries interests and continues to maintain strong links. In 2003, an internal rift between CSE and its affiliated Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation led to a split in which CSEF was renamed as a separate organization, called Americans For Prosperity.

In July 2004, CSE announced it was merging with Empower America to create FreedomWorks.

CSE is often described as a "consumer group," but according to internal documents leaked to the Washington Post, 85 percent of its 1998 funding came from major corporations. "The 'citizens' in question [are] companies like Amoco, Bell Atlantic, Citibank, General Electric and General Motors", Washington Babylon explains (p. 15). "During recent years, the CSE, headed by C. Boyden Gray, who acted as counsel to the president under George W. Bush, has opposed health care reform and a rise in the minimum wage, while championing corporate tax cuts, deregulation and a balanced budget."

[Maple]

I don't see where anyone is being bused to these town hall meetings, would you please provide the proof of your accusations.

 

[Maple]

we just don't want a takeover of 7% of our economy by a government that has over and over again proven that it is incapable of running anything efficiently. Example, Social Security, Medicare all broke.

This can be done in the private sector.
1. Tort reform- a must, costs billions of dollars a year. Doctors will perform every test known to man to keep from being sued. Doctors pay exhorbidant mal practice insurance which is then passed back on to us in the form of higher fees for service.

2. Open up competition- being able to choose out of state insurance instead of locking up 1 or 2 carriers per state.

3. Everyone should be required to purchase individual high deductible catastrophic insurance. The poor can do so on a sliding scale according to thier income.
Should they already have insurance through their employer they can keep it and not purchase this policy.

4. Health savings plan- pre - tax dollars that are set aside for those that have catastrophic plans that pay for doctor's visits and medications. If they don't use this and have had preventative care, yearly checkups, they can keep the remainder and spend it on what they want. If they have not done the preventaive care, this amount should be deducted and taken back into the state treasury. Thereby, insuring that people are doing preventative care and eliminating those people who run to the doctor for a hang nail and over burdening our health care providers.

5. Legislate- regulate insurance companies so that they can not deny coverage if someone gets sick and pass laws that they can not deny coverage for pre-existing conditions.

These are some ideas, but to have a government run system that will ensure failure at an expense that this country can not and will never be able to afford is insanity.

Do you reallly want a government employee dictating to you and your family about your health care, because if you do, I want you to go to your local social security office and see how these government employees treat you. It's downright despicable.

Never in any posting have I ever denied the fact that healthcare reform should be just ignored. In fact I suspect that if you actually asked most people you would find that most Americans think reforming healthcare and bringing down costs so that those that wish to purchase it at decent rates is a good thing. However as I mentioned above and in several other postings where many part company on this issue is the need to do it through a public offering that is taxpayer funded and it beyond the authority of our Govt. to do. While we can all agree that special interest has a been involved in legislative matters on both sides and will continue it's a little bit of a stretch to suggest that this Americans who rightfully for whatever reason are expressing themselves are somehow all associated with some group and are acting enmasse because some don't happen to agree with them. I find i completely amazing that people who just one year ago who would have called Bush on the carpet for even suggesting that Americans protesting his war efforts were somehow all part of some vast paid for DNC plant are now doing the same thing to these people who are upset over the proposed healthcare legislation. This legislation thats pending needs to reflect the desires of all americans and not just some americans as it will have an effect on all of us. So to even atempt to exclude anyone be they in favor of it or against it is to me highly dishonorable and I would say the same thing to those who would attempt to suggest that those who desire to have healthcare are somehow less than honorable for doing so.

They did the same thing with the tea baggers.

It won't work.

The real problem is the $3.4 BILLION DOLLARS the healthcare industry has given to Congress. That is what is holding us back.

And these people are being manipulated by the right to do the bidding of greedy corporations thanks to FoxNews.

FoxNews is really evil.
