This is the link to the chart the Republicans tried to send out in a mailer and were blocked by the Democrats from doing so (see details below). House Democrat Health Plan. I tried to insert the smaller version here, but was unsuccessful.
This chart gives you an idea of how complicated the new healthcare plan will be. It also tells you how President Obama plans to cut unemployment–the only job area that is currently growing is government jobs!
Roll Call reported today that:
“Democrats are preventing Republican House Members from sending their constituents a mailing that is critical of the majority’s health care reform plan, blocking the mailing by alleging that it is inaccurate.”
This is a major infringement on congressmen communicating with the people they represent. I resent the fact that the Democrat party is trying to jam down government healthcare before anyone actually has a chance to examine the bill. If government healthcare is so important, we need to take the time to do it carefully. I also resent the fact that President Obama is blaming healthcare costs for the increasing budget deficit–look at the spending bills passed since he has become President. I also resent the fact that tort reform is not included in the present healthcare proposals when the rising cost of malpractice insurance is a major reason that hospitals and doctors have been forced to raise their fees.
