Stop health care reform

Once again, it has become necessary for me as a tax paying citizen of the State of North Carolina, to bring to your attention an issue in the proposed healthcare reform bill that is being put together today behind closed doors at our White house by your party. Today, I learned from a very reliable source, Fox News, that the bills being merged together contain a tax on Tri-Care to help pay for the cost of reform. This tax cannot be paid by the people under this program, because Tri-Care is a health program paid for by the Department of Defense to support Active and Retired military members and their dependents. The only way this program could produce revenue would be a reduction in services. This is a slap in the face to all of our military members both active and retired, who have served this country and endured the hardships of military life. I cannot conceive how you in good conscience could have voted for a bill that would reduce medical care for military personnel and their dependents. This is UN-American. I, as a retired member of the United States Air Force, with 24 years of service do not support the efforts of you and your party. This action is unacceptable. Active and Retired members of the Armed Forces have earned this benefit, and I do not find any honesty or integrity in your and your party’s efforts to reduce medical care for the Americans who sacrificed their lives to provide freedom to all Americans. You and your party “Just don’t get it”.

Sincerely,

Ronald D. York, USAF Retired

Mikey - Let me get this straight:

Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose Chairman says he doesn't understand it,

passed by a Congress which hasn't read it,

signed by a President who smokes,

funded by a Treasury Chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese, and financed by a country that is nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?

Could this be the reason the Senate race was won in Massachussetts by a Republican for the first time in 50 years?

What are you talking about Pofolks? Are you just trying to show off your big works? Big Word for Little Man.

I fail to see how the most naive person can help but see the agenda now in progree is a redistribution of the wealth.(what's left of it)

Remember, if you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can always depend on Paul's vote.

That's how the liberal process works.

Also, because of our country's litigation epidemic and liability claims, far too much defensive medical practice is being utilized which continues to escalate the cost. Is there any proposal in the new Health Reform Bill to address this problem? If not, I can only surmise that the trisl lawyers still continue dictating to Congress.

LC...The majority disagree that Fox News is not reliable.

Reliable polls (Rasmussen, Zogby, Sacred Heart University)show them as being the 'most reliable'and 'most trusted'

This HealthCare take over is unconstitutional on many levels. The unions have now struck a deal that will exempt them from the new taxes on their plans. I have called and emailed Senator Hagan repeatedly for her to explain how she can vote yes for this bill and have yet to get an answer. The reason being there is none. This administration will be the ruin of this nation.

F.Y.I........Fox News is NOT a reliable source.

Mikey, likey - the one who eats(swallows) any and everything, except facts. He'll never watch Fox because that's all they deal in.

Fox digs deeply into the issues and presents all sides. Democrats, Republicans and Independents are regulars on Fox.

To Mikey-Likey...I can't decide whether you are just trying to get attention with your posts or you really are as ignorant as you sound. Even Ron Murray realized the error of his ways and rather than have to admit it he simply quit posting. Fox News right now is the best source for information about political issues that we have. Where do you get your information...CNN? And we all know there is no bias on that channel. News media is not going to be the death of America. That is going to come from the top position in the country-your President-who hasn't the foggest clue about running a country; can't even prove he is an American-born citizen; has no problems bribing states with money to garner a vote (Nebraska; who promised a transparent government and has created one that is so crooked decisions have to be made in the dead of the night and behind closed doors and bribes being passed out like after-dinner mints. Democrats are jumping ship like rats on the Titanic and you are sitting in Richmond County talking about Fox News. Excuse me while I snicker (behind your back, during the night, with a bribe in hand.) Obama is an abomination and a blight on this country. He is not interested in the welfare of this country...he is interested in seeing how far and how much power he can weld because he knows his time is limited. His position and power has gone to his knappy head.

It will be very interesting and quite dismaying when we come to the end of his tenure to see how much damage, debt and destruction Obama and his idiots have deposited in this country. And then the mystery begins (already has begun!!) about how Obama and his mafia ever got in office because no one voted for them!!!! (Flashback Clinton-the sex fiend.)

Do your research Mikey and do it with an open mind. You might be surprised how on target Fox News is about issues. The main difference between them and others, all know the debaucles of Obama and his cohorts, but they are not willing to put it out there for everyone.
