Mr President

I am a proud supporter yet have grown tired of the politics. Intact your gamesmanship and compromise have disappointed me.
 
To say the least, I am writing in support of the Tax expiring on the rich. For to long the 'Middle Class has carried the burden. Companies have taken advantage under outsourcing.  So here we are you trying to make trade deals for those who have destroyed this country. The Chamber and their cronies..

  Stand firm for the American people. Tax breaks for the Middle class and small businesses.  Let the tax break for the rich expire. 
 
 Stand strong!

Majority Of Doctors Back Public Option: New England Journal Of Medicine Study

Majority Of Doctors Back Public Option: New England Journal Of Medicine Study

I wanted to post this because it solidifies my point. Doctors are tired of towing the line for the AMA, and other lobbying groups. At one time they were silent because they thought big pharma, medical associations, and insurers would help advance their cause to be appropriately paid. Today they realize that there is no we, everyone is for themselves. If you think about it a public option allows physicians to participate in is program that is just like Medicare... They Get Paid as soon as they submit the paper work. Unlike the insurers who look for loopholes not to pay physicians. So when a claim is denied to a physician...where does the money disappear to? The bottom line of the insurers, known as the bonus pool. So doctors, now you understand the system. "Every group for himself and Profit for us all. " Who suffers?

Former Lawmakers and Congressional Staffers Hired to Lobby on Health Care - washingtonpost.com

Former Lawmakers and Congressional Staffers Hired to Lobby on Health Care - washingtonpost.com

I find it very interesting that the Health Care Lobby is spending $1.4 mil a day to help influence. islation. We are in a battle for the Public Option plan as well as the public good. Many of you may know, Sen. Max Bachus, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee is being lobbied by his ex chiefs of staff David Castagnetti and Jeff Forbes representing big time clients in the PhRMA, and Insurance industries (see article above). Congress should pass an ethics law preventing this for at least several years

It is important for us to get this information out to those who will take action. We must do our part to put pressure on Congress (phone and write your Senators and Congressman, send letters to your local newspapers) to let them know that there will be a penalty for those who vote against the Public Option.

We must passionately support the legislation found below in this blog. The special interest groups are betting that we will not be as motivated as they are to pass legislation which will insure all of us are covered, cost is reduced, and quality improved. That's why the battle is on. Do your part and we can win.

Many of us wonder where all of our money goes? Can you imagine what the Senior Managers bonuses look like? So for anyone who believes a Public Option is not needed to stop the raping of American's by the Insurance and Pharmaceutical Companies ...well I say..."What The Hell Are You Smokin'"
