Should Floridian be Forced Into Obamacare? This Flat Out Wrong

I opened up my site today and saw this advertisement "Should Floridians be Forced Into Obamacare?” This ad is being paid for by Republican Rick Scott for Florida Governor. Rick Scott, The founder of Conservatives for Patients’ Rights, a national media campaign that aimed to defeat health care reform legislation.


His whole objective is to defeat Health Care Reform because he knows that Health Care Reform will dig into his bottom line of take home pay. He does not want Health Care Reform for the working people when they are paying high insurance rates and getting less and less insurance coverage.

Rick Scott is telling lies just like the rest of the Republicans in office. One of his advertisement is telling us that we need to change the people in office and I totally agree with him on that one, I mean, change to Democrats and remove all Republicans.

First of all you are not made to buy Health Care Insurance, period. This is a myth and needs to be stopped. If you do not have Health Care Insurance you will be taxed higher, just like you would be if you made a lot of money, you move up in the tax bracket. After all, if you do not buy insurance, then you are making more money and you are taxed on that money. This Health Care Reform is also making it easier for businesses that want to get insurance for their employees in which you would have insurance and this would not affect you anyway.

Republicans do not want bigger government but everything that they do is bigger government. The Republicans pushed through Homeland Security, which is the largest expansion of government in history. They squandered our surplus into a trillion dollar deflect. They got us into two wars that could have been stop before it started but refused to so. The Republicans lied to the American People over and over again to get us into the War with Iraq.

Every time I hear a Republican on the news, I just about get sick listening to them telling us how bad the Democrats have acted and it is bad for our country. The real fact is the Republicans have destroyed our country and President Obama is bringing it back. People are now being helped with Health Care, the Economy is coming back, we are ending the wars, Wall Street will be accountable soon, and much more. President Obama is and has been for the people of America. Being for the People of America means disrupting the money that the Republicans have been making off of the American Corporations which is one of their objectives and a second is to make President Obama fail at any and all costs. If President Obama fails, then the Republican Party will take over the power of our government. That is their thinking, but the real lost is the American People.

When Republicans were in office they got us into two wars, job losses, auto company failures, bank failures, home foreclosures, and much more. This was a disgrace for our country and I do not want to be part of this type of government behavior anymore. The Republicans actually destroyed the US and are still trying to destroy it even more.

Lies like this ad and more from the Republicans have got to be stopped and with your help by voting all Republicans out of office in 2010 and even more out of office in 2012.

A good start is to vote for Alex Sink for Florida Governor, Kendrick Meek for Florida Senator.

Moving State Funds Should be Illegal

As I was going through the news I ran across an article from Florida Capital News called "Legislature Raids Trust Fund" Transportation money will be used to help plug budget shortfall by Jim Ash and I was thinking that Florida Republican Congress has already messed the Florida Budget up so bad that it is a wonder if anyone can figure it like it suppose be. They have routed and rerouted money in every direction but the right way, toward making a good solid future decision for the State of Florida.
If there and not if but is a tax of 12 cents per gallon for road repairs it is suppose to go to road repair and nothing else. Now the Republicans want and have made a decision of taking that money and using it on other things, I would say things as salaries and insurance for congress.
There were four hundred people going through Halls of the Capital to argue that road building is the best recession-fighting fuel just to find out that congress had already made a deal to move the money to fill other gaps in the budget. This is wrong, another late night backroom deal without letting the people know what is going on in our Capital until after all is done and over. This is the way Republicans have and still are trying to destroy our country.
Rep. Gary Aubuchon, R-Naples said "Once again, that's one of the hard choices we face with a budget that cannot meet all of our needs or desires," which is not a hard decision because they should not have been there looking in the first place. The money was to fix roads and only roads and not there to fill any gaps in the budget. Republicans always make things look good for them which has to be stopped.
Bob Burleson, president of Florida Transportation Builder’s Association, (FTBA), predicted that the legislative decision will cost Florida 11,000 jobs. This means more people out of work when there is no work in the first place. Republicans have their heads up their butts and no way to remove them when they make decisions like moving money from one area to another, like stealing from Peter to pay Paul, flat out wrong.

Then you have another Republican, Jeff Atwater, who knew the deal was a done deal and never brought it up in front of the people that were there to protest the money being moved out of the Transportation Budget to cover other expenses, which is also wrong. Why would anyone want to put these types of people back in office is beyond me.

Atwater said the Senate would fight to preserve the trust fund and create jobs. "We just won't stand for that," Atwater said. This is a bunch of bull since they have already made the deal to move the money and he knows this but trying to cover his butt and confuse the people for Florida hoping that they will forget or some other ridiculous situation comes up first to take its place.

Jeff Atwater said "In this process, it's about finding common ground and give and take,”. and this is wrong. This is a common statement from many politicians that should be removed from their vocabulary. All this means is that they have been doing things wrong in the first place. They put the common ground in because that way they can add things to a bill that has nothing to with that particular bill just to get votes for the bill. A bill is either good, bad or just needs to be improved and not meant to be compromised. They should consider only putting in a bill what the bill is related to only that bill and not add anything that is not related to it at all. An good example was the with the Federal Government on Health Care Reform Bill when they added the Education section to Health Care which should not have been there in the first place. Health Care Bill should be only Health Care and Education should be education only. Even though in this case it was good for the country but in many cases it is bad and the people never know about it until it is too late.

My suggestion would be eliminate congress salaries and insurance until they get Florida back on track where it is suppose to be, very good jobs, excellent education, excellent Health Care for all, no more backroom deals in congress or any other government agency.
Call your Representative and tell them not to steal from Peter to pay Paul, period. This is a bad policy and should have never been put in place.

It is time to replace all Republicans in the next election.  In my area it should be Alex Sink for Governor, and Kendrick Meek for Senator.
 

Crist requests probe of GOP `mess'

BY JOHN FRANK

Herald/Times Tallahassee Bureau

TALLAHASSEE -- Gov. Charlie Crist asked federal authorities Friday to investigate the Republican Party of Florida amid growing concerns about secret deals and misspent money.
``It's a mess,'' he said. ``This thing stinks.''
In an interview, Crist said the U.S. attorney's office needs to take over the criminal investigation of former Chairman Jim Greer and examine the use of party credit cards by top GOP lawmakers.

A Letter to Jim DeMint by Luis C. Isaza

As I was doing my research as I do every day I went to my favorites on my toolbar and went to Food for Thought. I haven't been there for awhile so I thought that I would check it out and see what Luis had to say.  There was a letter to Jim DeMint written by Luis C. Isaza. I thought that you should read the letter for yourself. The article is Good Morning, Rep. Jim DeMint. I think Luis did a very good job at explaining my thoughts on Jim DeMint and every Republican that voted against Health Care Reform and who wants to bring President Obama down. President Obama has done nothing but good for the working people, the senior citizens, and the normal American People.

Thank You Republicans for Health Care and More

If you do not like the Health Care Reform Bill the way it is then thank the Republicans. That’s right, thank each and every Republican because they decided to destroy President Obama instead of putting together a good Health Care Reform Bill like the American People wanted and needed because of greedy insurance companies.


Yes this bill could have been better but the Republicans could and should have worked with the Democrats to make this bill better. The Republicans were and are trying to destroy our country to worry about what is good for the United States. They say that they want Health Care Reform but as you have seen and can see that they are flat out lying. President Obama had many times tried to get the Republicans to help but they flat out refused even when their own parts of the plan were included. Anything and everything that the President agreed on that the Republicans included in the plan then the Republicans would then disagree even when it was their own idea. This is a disgrace and proves that the Republicans have no interest in improving America for the working people of America.

For those people that think Medicaid or Medicare does not work because they are still paying out-of-pocket expenses, what would the out-of-pocket be if they did not have Medicare or Medicaid? They would either be dead or totally broke without any coverage at all. Medicare or Medicaid is not perfect, but is a lot better for America than have to depend on selfish insurance companies. Yes, Medicaid and Medicare need improvements which are on the way, which by the way Republicans refused to do.

The Health Care Reform Bill is not about the people that are going to abuse the system but about the people that come down with an illness or one of their family members comes down with an illness or get into an accident. Accidents and Illnesses happen to people all of the time and with this Health Care Reform Bill it will help keep them from losing everything they own and will help them mentally when a crisis happen. There will always be people that will try to abuse the system and there will always be people that think that the system will cost them or does not work at all.

For the people that think that the system won’t work, then why does it work in Canada, Spain and across Europe? Yes, Canada has people come to the United States for Medical Services just as people from the United States go to Canada for Medical Services. Most people in Canada are proud of insurance that the country provides. The same with the people from Spain are happy with their single payer. Some people think that we will end up like some European Countries and I hope so because United States is now number 37 on the list of best Medical Services out of all the countries listed. This is not acceptable for the American People.

The Republicans lied about the wars they got us into and again about Health Care Reform that they are trying to defeat. For those people that think that Social Security is going broke, then again, you should thank the Republicans because they are the ones that got us into two wars where billions of dollars are going that could help out help out Social Security and all other programs that our government works with. All of our money is going to help people in other countries instead of helping our own. By the way the Insurance companies spent over 200 million dollars trying to defeat the Health Care Reform and the Republicans has received a lot of that money and are still receiving it for their campaigns.

And yes I think that this Health Care Reform Bill will not bring costs down but this is only a start. I do believe that the only way to bring down cost is to have a Public Options. The Public Option, I hope, will be added a little later. The Public Option is the only way to bring down the cost for all Americans buying insurance and bring in better care from all from insurance companies. The Public Option is the most wanted part of Health Care Reform but was left out of the bill because of the lies that were being spread by the Republicans.

The people think that they are in the middle class and think that this bill will hurt them by costing more is just flat out wrong. This bill will reduce costs for them because Health Care Insurance companies will not be able to raise your rate without the risk of losing you as a paying customer to another insurance company which the price is lower or have better service or both. Insurance companies have spent over 200 million dollars trying to defeat this Health Care Reform Bill and where do you think this money came from? The money and the big corporate bonuses came from overcharging and underpaying on coverage for their customers, which are, you the middle class.

The people that think that the Health Care Reform Bill will cost billions of dollars more are just misinformed by the Republicans with more of their lies. They have been spreading these lies even before the Health Care Reform Bill was even cost out. The Republicans have been spreading these lies even before the bill ever finish. You cannot have a cost factor until the bill is totally finished. The Republicans started theses lies so they can stir an uproar before the bill was ever finish to get support to defeat the Health Care Reform Bill so the Obama administration will fail, which is their overall plan, do whatever it takes to make Obama fail. The fact is that it will save billions of dollars on the U.S. deficit over the next ten years and even more money over the following ten years. This means that the will shrink and eventfully reduce the deficit back to a surplus before the Republicans got in office. You can thank the Republicans again for such failure for our budget.

The car industry failure is also of Republican doings along with the employment collapse. If the Republicans have done their job in the first place we would not have the high unemployment, we would not have high insurances rates, we would not have insurance companies dropping people for pre-existing illnesses, we would not have so many people without insurance, and much more. Thank you, Republicans, for all of that.

Paying for Health Care Reform is no different than paying for Schools, Police, Fire, Public Transportation, and even more when you don’t use it. I do not use the Police, Fire, Public Transportation and more of everyday services provided by the United States everyday or have I ever used some of the services provided by the United States Government but I am glad that they are there if and when I would ever need them. I still have to pay for them anyway if I use them or not. Don’t forget about the way the Republicans handled Katrina which people are still looking for help that was there when needed, under Republican control. Thank the Republicans for that mess, too. Every time the Republicans have the power to do something great for the country it is always about ripping the American people off and lining their own pockets. The Republicans are out for themselves and only themselves. History and present day actions prove this to be true.

There are a lot of other countries who are doing better than we are with their people's healthcare. It's time for us to do something about our broken system and if you agree, but just disagree with this bill, then you should have focused your time on the Republicans and demanded that they do something to save our healthcare system, because it's crystal clear that the Republicans have drawn a line in the sand protecting the status quo of our current healthcare system, and that's unacceptable to me and it should be to you.

I think that in November the people should be at the voting poles eliminating the each and every Republican that is in office today. They are a total disgrace to the Republican Party and to themselves and are doing more damage our country than any terrorist has or ever will.

Thank You Republicans for the wars that we should not be in, the high employment rate, the financial failures, auto industry failure, and there is so much more that I want to thank you for only if I knew what they are.

John Boehner, Is He a Complete Idiot?

John Boehner said “If this bill passes, we will have an effort to repeal the bill, and we'll do it the same way that we approached health care on a step by step basis," the Ohio congressman said in an advanced transcript of NBC’s “Meet the Press.” I'd have a bill on the floor the first thing out, to eliminate the Medicare cuts, eliminate the tax increases, eliminate the mandate that every American has to buy health insurance and the employer mandate that's going to cover jobs.”

The Health Care Reform Bill will not cut Medicare, will not increase taxes, and give employers tax breaks for covering employees which is not an increase, but something that businesses want to give their employees to keep them.
John Boehner has from the start of the Obama Presidency has tried to disrupt congress and the United States. I think that he should be barred from the United States, in my option. He says that the Republicans have a plan for Health Care Reform and for nine years in control of Congress he and the rest of the Republicans have done nothing except blow a deficit and put the U.S. in the hole, disgraced our country, put us in two wars, lied to the American People about everything, including Health Care Reform, just to get back in power. If the Republicans can break President Obama agenda they think they can control the country again. I don't want the Republicans in control again, they already showed us what they can do, and that was not good for our country or good for the American People.
When the Health Care Reform Bill passes today, the Democrats have done the right thing for the American People. All people that have tried to disabled this bill instead of working on it to make it better should be removed from office. That means all Republicans should be removed, mainly because they have tried to destroy President Obama. They have not just disagreed with him but have flat out lied to the American People about Health Care Reform Bill. When an elected official lies in office he/she should be removed immediately.
