I have no problem with Obama signing a bill to outlaw health insurers from using “pre-existing conditions” to deny necessary coverage for treatments for cancer, rare blood diseases, etc. That’s just plain grand larceny and it has to be stopped. So is taking the premium payers’ money to buy the best congress to suit the SELFISH DESIGNS of BIG HEALTH INSURANCE. To think that these same insurance companies have the nerve to justify their spending just as much if not more on lobbying Congress to help them keep lining the pockets of their select few majority-owning stockholders than they would’ve initially paid out for their insured ruins counter to moral reasoning and common business sense. I don’t want Obamacare because it basically socializes the health insurance industry moreso than ever before while leaving small businesses and individual employees feeling most of the economic burdens and pain. So much for “transparency” and its cousin cliche, “accountability.”

Ray Stevens does it again—-He’s just Great!
This would make a Great Campaign Slogan—& song.
“Obama Care we’ll vote you out of THERE! “

Hopefully it will be a number # Hit not only with conservatives, independents but republicans and some democrats. We all now what most liberals will say “We’ll Vote as we Please” we don’t care about the American Citizens that pay your salary.

Thanks Ray—

I believe all of us wish basic medical care for everyone.  It’s simply a matter of cost.  And this bill is a nightmare from what little I can glean.

A 40% tax on any plan over $8500, INCLUDING dentistry I’ve been told, is simply government theft. If having insurance is the aim, why tax people having good insurance?

The disgusting truth of voting on bills that no one can read in advance let’s all of us know that our system is out of control and needs a complete overhaul

I believe the life expectancy of Americans as it stands now is 82 years and Cuba is 84 years, that is if you believe these numbers to be true.Well based on the obesity problem in the U.S, that number is a miracle.
Most Cubans eat the bare essentials, go to Cuba and find out. So if Americans eat a proper diet they would more than likely have one of the highest life-expectancy rates globally.
Shucks, you guys have one of the best medical systems in the world, once you have insurance to cover you.
The problem with government control Health Coverage is that more than likely, you the patient will have long lines and rationing of services. Then pay caps for the medical specialists. That is sure to scare many a professional doctor from operating in the U.S.
In the end, America will have to recruit doctors from all over the world without the prerequisite experience in their respective fields.
This is the case in the U.K,Canada,Caribbean and many E.U countries which have similiar Health Systems and long waiting and rationing of Health Services.
No longer will the cry be heard for medical attention for the uninsured or underinsured.
No my friends, the cry will be heard by all who require medical attention for such will be the care meted to all who use this new Health system.

VOTE THESE PEOPLE OUT OF CONGRESS.  HealthCare is NOT a right in a free enterprise system.  HealthCare is only a right in a Socialist or Communistic society.  How much more do YOU want to give up for some type of security?????

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and LOSE BOTH.——Benjamin Franklin

For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.——Thomas Jefferson

I THINK RAY STEVENS IS WONDERFUL TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF THE TRUTH about ObamaCare.

1. I hope I didn’t give anyone the impression I wanted to socialize the profits of the health insurance industry, aka BIG HEALTH. They do quite well without taxpayers paying above and beyond their regular premiums and/or deductibles without having to shell out more to keep the K-Street Lobbying Famiiglia content. That’s my biggest worry right now with this monstrosity, not to mention how many small businesses and individuals will go under paying way and above what they are now to get this behemoth fully in place four years from now. The last thing we should all want is a complete sell out to BIG HEALTH, which ironically enough will be a lot more expensive, and to top it all off, we have no idea if those “pre-existing conditions” cop-outs for the Big Boys to keep lining their pockets from “savings” resulting from dropping or denying life saving procedures. Last year Gov. Palin and many other concerned Americans were alarmed about “death panels.” We have them right now, but they’re employed by BIG HEALTH. Good luck getting them out if their bosses happen to own huge blocks of stocks and are happy with the people they picked to to their dirty work of dropping their insured that they didn’t mind taking money from, only to deny coverage they believed would be paid for when they signed on.

Right now the biggest robbers and death panelists are hiding within BIG HEALTH. Sherry, you say we don’t have rights to health care? You might want to think that over if you’ve paid in for years, only to one day find out you have a rare cancer requiring a special procedure or drug … but because some corporate bureaucrat gets his “aha moment” upon finding some pre-existing condition maybe you forgot about or somebody forgot telling you about years ago – you’ll find yourself choosing between everything you own and treasure, including your kids’ inheritance or savings to help them pay for college, or start up a business … and all of a sudden you realized you’ve been had, like so many more Americans. And you’ll feel even more had when you realize that the same so-called “grass-roots” protests, i.e. Tea Party rallies, have been bankrolled by the same corporations who’ve been fighting for the right to steal from their premium-paying customers.

I don’ want to see more government control. But guess who really does by its dumping the health insurance problems (while keeping our money) back on to individuals knowing they might squawk enough for some form of add’l government regulations and/or takeover. But why would they act against their self interest you might say? Truth is, insurance companies are inveterate gamblers and will always find another casino or craps table to play at, be it dealing with individuals or coverage on basic liability concerns.

I agree. We don’t need massive taxpayer reform. We only needed tweekiing the system to keep it from further rigging a more honest system we used to have by the big boys against the vast majority of people who’ll never see in total property accumulations what they could afford to have lost and still never feel an irregular skip in their heartbeat. I live an hour north of BIG HEALTH’s Hartford happy hunting grounds and I know how well they live in material terms. How they sleep at night, well…that’s another matter.

Is this where America heading??

Obama and his corrupt administration:

ttp://www.personalliberty.com/conservative-politics/barack-obamas-corrupt-cronies/

Why wouldn’t the govt try allowing Americans to purchase health insurance across state lines,as many suggested, thus increasing the competition to lower costs ?  Heaven forbid that Americans should be allowed to not depend on the govt !  Why can’t people realize that giving govt “the right” to operate our health care is actually about giving up more of our rights and freedoms, and giving them more power and control over our lives ???  Everything that the govt operates is in absolute shambles !  And they will do exactly the same with our health care !  And the more that we allow them to take from us, the more they keep taking !  WAKE UP AMERICA !
And thanks to Ray Stevens for that good song !
