Ronald Ellison...

First, if you are going to call someone out for calling names, you might want to not call names yourself (the "coward" comment)..It makes you look rather stupid and hypocritical.

Second, you contend that VA and medicare-medicaid is one person collecting aid off another's taxes. This is item two in your diatribe that shows you to be stupid.

Medicare and SS are not someone else's taxes...they are essentially an "insurance benefit" for the premiums each worker pays during a working life.

SS is just a government forced, government run 401K...you pay in from your income while you work, and you collect when you finish working...same as a private 401K. The difference is that the government 401K is run in a way that the money is gone...but that is not the citizen's fault. Its still his money he is getting back. (at a crappy return rate BTW).

Medicare is the same...you pay health insurance "premiums" all your working life, and collect on that "insurance" when you get sick after retirement.

Dumb ass. (I can say that. I didn't get on someone for name calling...LOL)

Just wait till you have to pay for all the "Free" stuff Mooch talks about. Pre-existing claims and such cost money. No sense in arguing anymore, I say vote for it and learn your lesson. I can't wait to hear the crying when the tax man comes next year for your health insurance, especially if you can't afford it now. Wow, this will be good. Of course the Mooch and Pinto will be long gone or deny ever supporting it when you can't afford your tax bill and you find out you got a pig in a poke.

Rob,

Strong words from such a coward like yourself!!!

Truth!? You wouldn't know the truth if it bit you on the ass and slapped you in the face!!

The only "truth" you can comprehend is the kind that fits into your "agenda" of self govern... aka "blind freedom". Blind freedom is the process of self governship that overlaps the freedom of others without regard for anothers rights to individual freedom of thought or speech. You have deminstrated this concept in every post you make.

BTW, the name calling is clearly not making you appear more intelligent... but showing a lack of intelligence.


Rob, You wrote "As far as medical debt: if you incur debt, pay it. I refuse to accept the notion that I should have to pay your medical bills. Pay your own damn bills".

This is interesting... are you planning to receive VA benefits and Medicare/-caid coverage one day? Hate to break this to you Robbie but Uncle Sam gives this to you by taking money out of the pocket of the taxpayer! Your VA bill and service pension are the same thing. We, the taxpayer, give you this. Perhaps, you need to think about what would happen if ALL TAXPAYER FUNDING WAS ELLIMINATED!!

Chuckie

Here is the full text of what you stole to write your letter. I apologize to everyone for the length, but it is important to note that supply-side economics does indeed work, and was responsible for the most prosperous economy the world had ever witnessed. During Reagan's tenure, 21 million jobs, sustainable jobs, were created. You have again tried to re-write history and slammed the greatest period of growth in US history.

"During his 1980 campaign, Ronald Reagan promised to end the economic and hostage crises that had plagued Jimmy Carter's administration. The hostage crisis was solved for him when, only hours after he was sworn in, Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini released the captive Americans. With one victory under his belt, Reagan dedicated himself to making good on his other promise. The American people trusted him to do so.

In February 1981 Reagan presented the Economic Tax Recovery Act to Congress, calling for massive personal and corporate tax cuts, reductions in government spending, and a balanced budget. The program was based on supply side economics: Tax cuts, the theory went, would allow people either to spend more on goods and services, thus giving the economy a boost, or to invest in businesses, thus leading to economic growth. The economic expansion, supply side theorists argued, would generate enough revenue to cover the shortfall resulting from the initial cut in tax rates.

In an effort to balance the budget, Reagan "propose[d] budget cuts in virtually every department of government." While he cut back social programs, including school-lunch programs and payments for people with disabilities, he refused to touch Social Security and Medicare. He also advocated deregulation of certain industries in an effort to reduce the government's role in the economy, and proposed such a massive military buildup that Pentagon spending would reach $34 million an hour during his administration.

At first some Republicans were skeptical and most Democrats were hostile toward the Recovery Act. To overcome opposition, Reagan lobbied hard in Congress and used his skills as the "Great Communicator" to persuade the country. One after another, Congressmen began to line up behind Reagan’s program. Feeling for Reagan swelled after John Hinckley, Jr.'s, assassination attempt on March 30, 1981. Perhaps his rapid, dramatic recovery was seen as emblematic of what the country could achieve under his leadership. By July 1981, Reagan’s economic program won the support of two-thirds of the American public and was approved by enough Democrats to get it through Congress.

When, in August 1981, Reagan signed his Recovery Act into law at Rancho del Cielo, his Santa Barbara ranch, he promised to find additional cuts to balance the budget, which had a projected deficit of $80 billion -- the largest, to that date, in U.S. history. That fall, the economy took a turn for the worse. To fight inflation, running at a rate of 14 percent per year, the Federal Reserve Board had increased interest rates. Recession was the inevitable result. Blue-collar workers who had largely supported Reagan were hard hit, as many lost their jobs.

The United States was experiencing its worst recession since the Depression, with conditions frighteningly reminiscent of those 50 years earlier. By November 1982, unemployment reached, nine million, the highest rate since the Depression; 17,000 businesses failed, the second highest number since 1933; farmers lost their land; and many sick, elderly, and poor became homeless.

The country lived through the recession for a full year before Reagan finally admitted publicly that the economy was in trouble. His budget cuts, which hurt the poor, and his tax cuts, which favored the rich, combined with the hardships of a recession, spawned the belief that Reagan was insensitive to his people's needs. (Although it was a 25% across-the-board tax cut, those people in the higher income brackets benefited the most.)

As economic hardship hit American homes, Reagan's approval rating hit rock bottom. In January 1983, it was estimated at a dismal 35 percent. Having failed in his promise to deliver economic prosperity, Reagan's reelection in 1984 seemed unlikely.

With a failing economy, hopes for a balanced budget vanished. Even David Stockman, Reagan's Budget Director and an advocate of supply side economics, fearing future deficits "as high as $200 billion," urged the president to cut taxes.

While Reagan finally agreed to a moderate tax increase on businesses, he steadfastly refused to raise income taxes or cut defense spending, despite a growing negative sentiment toward the buildup. In January 1983, with his approval rating at an all-time low, the economy slowly began to right itself. Unemployment, as high as ten percent in 1982, had improved enough by 1984 for his popularity to be restored, and by the November presidential election, it was hard to believe that a second term was ever in doubt.

The harsh economic medicine of the Federal Reserve Board, backed by Reagan, squeezed inflation out of the American economy and set the nation on the right economic course. During Reagan’s second term America prospered. Although the budget deficit continued to grow -- arguably the price tag of ending the Cold War -- the United States experienced the longest sustained peacetime prosperity in its history."

Although some of the provisions in the reform bill won't be implemented immediately, here's what would go into effect in the first year after passage:

Eliminating caps: If you buy a policy, a health care company will not be able to place a lifetime -- or annual -- cap on how much they will cover. This will be especially important for those diagnosed with serious illnesses, such as cancer, who face steep medical bills.

Pre-existing conditions: The Senate bill includes $5 billion in immediate support to provide temporary coverage to uninsured Americans with pre-existing conditions. The money would help until the new health care exchanges in the Senate bill are put into effect in 2014.

Children and pre-existing conditions: Another thing that's going to be very important, CNN Senior Political Analyst Gloria Borger said, is that there will be no exclusion of children with pre-existing conditions.

Dependent children: Your children will be covered until the age of 26.

"Children who are over 21 and may not have a job that pays their health insurance can still be on your policy," Borger said. "That's very important to a lot of families."

Small business tax credits: Those tax credits are aimed at helping small businesses buy health insurance for their employees. Tax credits of up to 50 percent of premiums will be available to firms that offer coverage, according to the Senate's plan.

Preventive care: All new insurance plans, will be required to offer free preventive care in order to "catch preventable illnesses and diseases on the front end."

Appeals process: A new independent appeals process will be set up for those who feel that they were unfairly denied a claim by their insurance company.

Help for seniors: If you fall into the Medicare Part D Drug Benefit coverage gap, dubbed the "donut hole," you will receive $250 to help pay for prescriptions.


Have a nice evening.

9 -- that's number of states and the District of Columbia where there is still no specific law that makes it illegal for insurers to reject applicants who are survivors of domestic violence by citing the history of domestic violence as a pre-existing condition.

Unfortunately, the gender inequalities across our broken heath care system don't end there. In many states, insurance companies can still discriminate on the basis of gender -- charging women higher premiums than men simply because of their gender or denying coverage because of so-called "pre-existing conditions" like being pregnant, experiencing a prior pregnancy complication, or having undergone a C-section. And health plans in the individual market often do not cover basic maternity care.

Health insurance reform would end the days of discrimination based on gender. Insurance companies would be banned from denying coverage because of a pre-existing condition and would have to cover preventative care like mammograms.

See you soon

In response to B.K Robertson’s letter in which he attempted to malign Mr. Barr and preach about condescending; I find it interesting that he states he will cut Mr. Barr some slack this time, and he will give Mr. Barr “the benefit of the doubt”. My how gracious of him. It seems to me that if anyone has a condescending attitude it is Robertson. He espouses to know much about everything from what I have seen in his rants while anyone not agreeing with his perception or anyone that does not agree with him is a socialist, a communist, a liberal, a whacko, a drunk, a drug addict, a traitor, and lets not forget if you are disabled from injuries received while in service to your country and receive disability benefits, you’re a dredge on society. If you paid into the social security system and became disabled at age 54 as my wife did and draw disability from social security your a leach or a mooch. In fact, most of what he writes about is fabricated or twisted to support HIS logic. This is the same Robertson that also submitted a letter to the Editor stating Sec. of State Clinton had promised the U.S. would provide ALL the funds discussed during the Copenhagen Conference in a program being considered to fight Global Warming even though what she said was the U.S. would assist, isn’t it? This is the same B. K. Robertson that has made countless claims of “illegal aliens will be given free medical care if health care reform passes” and continues to do so even today, even though that was debunked long ago isn’t it? This is the same B. K Robertson that has complained repeatedly about “We need to stop spending money we don’t have and then also complained about the government canceling funding for the F-22 Raptor program after even the military said they did not want nor need it, because he was employed in it isn’t it? Now his kick is Global Warming. Nobody needs to research anything to check if what he says is factual. It’s abundantly clear he really hasn’t got a clue about much of anything. My advice is to take anything Robertson has to say with a grain of salt. Talk about ego, he thinks people will check on his rhetoric. How condescending is that?

You are just another pseudo-intellectual progressive who has taken the handle of the main character in 1984, to try to make people believe that not only are you a "wise thinker" who is better than us, but to play the part of the liberal presence in the 80's who tried to tell us that Reagan was leading us in that totalitarian direction, when actually the opposite was true. Since Reagan believed in a strong defense to keep us safe on the world stage because strength ensures peace, he was inaccurately painted by you liberals as a war-monger. Well, we won the cold war without a shot being fired.

You are part of the problem with this country, you fraud- you coward. You are slanting Orwell's book to suit what garbage is in your own mind. Reagan conservatives believe in extremely limited government (you idiot) with limited power and possibility to control people's lives. In other words, the polar opposite of the world described in "1984".

Hey dummy, you bought that story hook line and sinker didn't you? It may stagger you to know the truth behind this sob story: Her medical care is being paid for by a charity fund that the clinic maintains worth $100 Million. She will also be qualified for aid programs already in existance:

Natoma Canfield, the cancer-stricken woman who has become a centerpiece of President Obama’s push for health care reform, will not lose her home over her medical bills and will probably qualify for financial aid, said a top official at the Cleveland medical center treating her

"Lyman Sornberger, executive director of patient financial services at the Cleveland Clinic, said “all indications” at the outset are that she will be considered for assistance.

“She may be eligible for state Medicaid … and/or she will be eligible for charity (care) of some form or type. … In my personal opinion, she will be eligible for something,” he said, adding that Canfield should not be worried about losing her home.

“Cleveland Clinic will not put a lien on her home,” he said.

Everything Obama said in Ohio was a lie. Every single sob story he has ever told about someone dying due to those evil health insurance companies has been a big, fat, LIE. These people, all of them, were or still are being treated either under existing aid programs, or through charitable aid. Absolutely NONE of these people were dismissed to die, as your saviour will have us believe, and as you have already bought into.

Once again, you are a blind sheep riding the train off the cliff. Please do better research.

While you are "rah-rah'ing" what you call the success of the failed stimulus, you should have pointed out these facts:

We continue to bleed more private sector jobs but While we lost 12000 jobs in the private sector last month the federal government had a net increase of 33000 jobs. These are jobs that are supported of course by our tax dollars and the workers hired are supposed to be working for us. But the bureaucrats and politicians. Who manage these new workers are being very generous with our money. According to USA Today the average federal worker's pay is $71,206 compared to $40,000. Dollars in the private sector.

What the stimulus did, O' Wise One, was create goverment jobs by a huge measure, funded with money we do not have. It did not create one single damn sustainable private sector job. Not one. The fed is on a hiring spree while business remains stagnant on hiring. You have to be a complete and total blind idiot to NOT know this.

Ok, now I'm convinced that the real Mooch is posting this garbage.

You must be some sort of midway psychic to presume to tell us what percentage of the USD will pay for health care if we "do nothing". The socialists have been trying and dreaming of socialized medicine for 50 years. 50 years ago there was no health insurance to demonize. This push by the progressive liberals has NOTHING to do with health care. The entire point is to nationalize the one industry that encompasses "people" and will lead us further down the socialist rabbit hole.

It is obvious that you have toned yourself down, good. It is even more obvious that you are trying this subdued tone out as an experiment to try to gain some sort of ground. Let me be the first to tell you that you are still the Marxist idiot you have always been.

You sure are full of "it" and frankly not very educated if you could not un derstand what I wrote earlier!

Orwell said in a 1950 Time magazine article that"the new thing was that the upper class had realised that collectivism was the only way of ensuring the oligarchy. Private property was "abolished" by expropriating the capitalists, and in this way private property was concentrated on fewer hands, namely one; the Party was the new and sole owner.

The world of 1984 is divided into three super states that are at perpetual war with each other; the two against the third with the alliances changing constantly. Orwell says that it is a war with limited objectives in which none of the warring parties is capable of destroying the others. There are no material causes for fighting nor any ideological ones of any importance. What matters is to consume the products of the machine without raising the standard of living."

Does this sound familiar?? Republicans are fighting the Democrats to create a "new" history that they see as non-threatening to the party.

Let us not forget the Iran-Contra Affair. Under this Reagan program, Iran acquired arms to fight Iraq. Iraq received arms to fight Iran under the next president and the Iraqi War was the product of the instability the US caused by doing this.

To date Carter is the only president to bring warring counries (Egypt, Israel, and Jordan) to a stable peace treaty!

1 -- in every six dollars in the U.S. economy is spent on health care today.

If we do nothing, in 30 years, 1 out of every three dollars in our economy will be tied up in the health care system.

Skyrocketing health care costs aren't just crippling the U.S. economy -- they're emptying the pocketbooks of American families. If we do not enact health insurance reform, individual and family spending on premiums and out-of-pocket health care costs could increase 79 percent in just 10 years.

Bottom line: the cost of doing nothing is too high. The time is now to reform our broken health care system.

Have a nice day.. I will post more information tomorrow.. I know that just pleases the hell out of the misinformed that are opposed to health care reform. I also am quite aware that those opposed to health care reform that post on this so called "message" board will remain opposed to it no matter what information is made available to show you why you don't now nor did you ever know what you were talking about or are opposed to. You freaks have made such a sideshow at being opposed your afraid everyone will see you for the idiots you have been if you now admit you were simply taken in by the rhetoric and lies from the so called "knowledgable" (lol) people that post here.

NonVet - jsut because Robbie calls it a "fact" doesn't make it so, just like Chooch. If you think Robbie has ever posted a fact on this board, please point it out. You are just as gullible as anyone who believes that crap about Jesus Christ being the Savior, and even more accommodating to the ongoing dumbing-down of this country. No wonder this country is lost and the Republicans' relevance continues to fade...
Marine - I bet the queen's "22 peasants" make a lot more money than you ever did! LOL! Loser!!!!!

Ignacious..We already have a 'King", and he has a Queen with 22 peasants in her employ. As far as jobs going "up", it's still no time for applause. We're still at 10%. Middle class taxes are sure to go up as well. Maybe not in employment taxes, but between all the pork and spending taxes we're already spending, we're screwed. The new prediction is that it will be between 3 & 5 more years to see much if any change. Nobody mentions the 30,000 postal employees getting laid off, the schools, (which our king said would be his first priority), during his campaign, are laying off teachers and cutting the school week for many. Applaud him? I think not!

P.S. Mooch: Rob has pounded you with fact after fact after fact, you choose to ignore them just like Pinto. This is because you are both are nothing more than talking points for moveon.org and the Liar Obama.

I see Mooch is still on the sauce. Unemployment took a dip due to Census workers being hired most likely. Thank god your not in charge of statistics Mooch or everything would be even more screwed up. You have such a way with words Mooch and you know how to make friends with your name calling, typical moveon.org liberal.

Jack, its really not fair of you to use Reid as an example. He is too stupid to even be able to find his butt with both hands and written instructions. Picking on folks whose elevator doesn't even leave the ground floor isn't very nice.
