Senate Democrats pass UbamuhCare in the Midnight Hour.
My personal reply to Senator Bennet, who emailed me this unsolicited propaganda piece, below, on November 25th
2009. See Senator Bennet's
original propaganda piece here. One more thing Senator, when you send me your party propaganda and cozy boilerplate emails, you will
Last Update: 21 December 2009
How stupid does he think I am? Would he presume to bribe you and me to hasten America's bankruptcy?
Here's a
screen-grab of the same thing just in case he scrubs
it from his website.
please address me as Mr. Martin - not as Daniel. May I remind you, sir,
that we have never met and you work for me.
Democrat Senator Bennet flings open his metaphoric trench coat
and begins flashing his metaphoric Carrot at Coloradans, asking:
"Health Care Reform - What's In It For You?"
Senator Bennet (D-CO) claims:
1. No Denials for Pre-Existing Conditions
"You will no longer be discriminated against when choosing your health
insurance. You will not be denied for being too short, too fat, being
pregnant, getting cancer, and many other reasons. These arbitrary and
unfair discriminatory practices will become a thing of the past."
I SAY:
"Americans will no longer be eligible for the lowest rates available
for healthy people. Inevitably all Americans will have to pay
arbitrary and unfairly high premiums - and higher taxes - to provide "free" health
insurance to all the short, fat, lazy, pregnant, cancerous, and
illegal people. Free choice will become a thing of the past."
Senator Bennet (D-CO) claims:
2. Coverage You Can Count On – That Can’t Be Taken Away
"You will always have choices for coverage even if
your job doesn’t provide it. If you or your spouse loses a job, hits
a rough patch or falls sick, you will always have coverage options at a reasonable price.
I SAY:
"Americans will mostly have to choose between (1) Paying a fine, and/or, (2) Going to jail - even
if they can not afford to pay for the mandated Government Health Care Plan. Even if their employer and/or their
job doesn’t exist anymore, Americans will always face these penalty choices. Freedom can
be taken away easily, especially when it is labeled as choice.
Senator Bennet (D-CO) claims:
3. Significantly Lower Premiums and Out-of-Pocket Costs for Medical Bills
"Unless health insurance is affordable, it’s really more of a burden than a benefit.
In the new health insurance exchanges, there will be limits on how much you can be asked to
pay for health insurance coverage or medical expenses, including prescription drugs, based on your income."
I SAY:
"Unless taxes are affordable, Government is really more of a burden than a benefit. In the new
Government Health Care Bureaucracy,
there will be limits on how much "Care" Americans can receive. Steeply
rising taxes (many hidden), needed to pay for "free" health insurance and drugs, will consume ever more
of their spendable income. Devaluation of the US Dollar (aka inflation) - caused by multi-trillion
dollar Government deficits - will erode their savings, making them destitute in retirement. Present and future
generations of our children will curse all of us for enslaving them by allowing this travesty to become law."
Senator Bennet (D-CO) claims:
4. Fewer Moments Wasted with Insurance Company Bureaucrats
"No more wasting hours of your day fighting with
insurance companies over medical bills. With health care reform, there will
be standardized forms for medical bills, advisors to help you navigate the
health insurance system, and an effective appeals process for any questions
in coverage or cost of your care."
I SAY:
"Untold, unpaid, hours wasted fighting with the
Government Health Care Bureaucrats
over medical coverage. With Government Health Care "reform," there will
be unending, multi-level application forms (to be filled out in triplicate) for medical treatment. Government Advisors
("take a number")
will be required to decide if treatment is even necessary. A lengthy, multi-level Appeals Process
("take a number")
will be required to reverse denial-of-treatment, denial-of-coverage, and/or shorten the mandatory waiting
period for treatment. For those who can't afford their own lawyer, a public defender will be provided."
Senator Bennet (D-CO) claims:
5. Independence That Allows For Flexibility
"Many individuals are afraid to start small businesses, or to join new
businesses, because of the cost of losing their health insurance. In the
new health insurance exchanges, you will have more choices of health
coverage and never be turned down for you or your family’s
pre-existing conditions."
I SAY:
"Many individuals will be unable to start small businesses, and/or unable to join still-surviving
businesses, because of the cost of higher taxes. In the
Government Health Care Plan,
Americans will pay more in taxes, have fewer real choices of health
coverage, and discover Health Care being denied by the new Government Health Care Bureaucracy.
With the Government Health Care Plan,
millions more people are enrolled that are never turned down for any reason, income for health care providers is
severely restricted, and no limits of any kind are imposed on lawyer/jury lawsuit awards.
The "more choices" so glibly touted may soon become very hard to find. But not to worry... perhaps the
Government Health Care Bureaucracy
will issue Americans an "IOU" if their search for a still-practicing doctor or a still-open hospital takes more
than 18 months."
Senator Bennet (D-CO) claims:
6. Easy to Understand Insurance Forms
"Ever have trouble catching the fine print when trying to choose the best coverage for
you and your family? New standardized forms will have real explanations of
benefits and coverage and allow you to have the information you need to
make decisions about your own health care."
I SAY:
"Ever have trouble catching the true impact of the 2,000+ page
Government Health Care Bill? Government politicians had trouble, too, because they didn't
write it, and they didn't read it.
When trying to afford the Government Health Care Plan, or find a doctor, American's new "more choices"
coverage will lack real explanations of how and why their families came to be so much worse off.
Washington politicians knowingly suppressed the information Americans needed to make informed decisions about their
own health care -
boot all incumbent politicians out of office in 2010 and 2012."
Senator Bennet (D-CO) claims:
7. Free care for preventive services
"You will now be able to receive the preventative care you need—free of charge.
Checkups, screenings, vaccinations, and other life-saving preventative care
will not be charged a co-pay by your health insurance company."
I SAY:
"Most Americans will probably be able to [eventually] receive the preventative care they need—free
of charge (except for higher taxes forever).
Checkups, screenings, vaccinations, and other life-saving preventative care
will be considered and possibly Approved by one or more
Government Health Care Bureaucrats once the required
multi-level application forms (perfectly filled out in triplicate) are received.
Government Advisors
("take a number")
may be available to help Americans cope with the new Regulations."
Senator Bennet (D-CO) claims:
8. Transparency and Accountability –Insurance Companies Will Have to Give Cash Back
"You deserve more value for your
dollars. Not only will this bill make sure that health insurance companies
spend 85 cents of every dollar on health care, you will also get money back
from insurers who spend too much on their non-medical costs."
I SAY:
"Americans deserve more value for their
tax dollars than alleged "Medicare Savings" found by a new
Government Health Care Bureaucracy can possibly provide.
If Government Bureaucrats can find such savings, why do they not find and
eliminate them now??
Not only will the Government Health Care Bill make sure that most private health insurance companies
will go out of business, but the Government Health Care Plan will probably waste
55 cents of every tax dollar on rationed, long-delayed health care. Americans will never get their money's worth
from Government Bureaucrats who spend too much on their own "special" medical coverage which is far
better than they want their fellow Americans to have."
Senator Bennet (D-CO) claims:
9. Peace of mind from medical bankruptcy
"You should never have to worry about going bankrupt if you or your loved one
becomes seriously ill. This bill eliminates lifetime limits that insurance
companies could set when covering your medical care. Sixty-two
percent of personal bankruptcies are due to medical costs. We will keep
countless American families from sinking into poverty because of an
illness."
I SAY:
"Americans must always worry about their nation going bankrupt due to outrageous,
unbridled spending by their elected officials. The Government Health Care Plan can and will
only hasten that process. This bill eliminates the practical limits that insurance
companies normally set when covering medical expenses. Sixty-two
percent of personal bankruptcies may be due to medical costs, but 100% of
inflation is due to government deficit spending and Federal Reserve manipulation of the economy.
The Government Health Care Plan will keep
countless American families from living any life other than one of grinding hopelessness; a life
of continual near-poverty because of a failing economy brought on by hyper deficit spending."
Senator Bennet (D-CO) claims:
10. Easy to access health insurance information
"When looking for health insurance, you should
have choices and enough information to make you a smart shopper, and it
should be easily accessible. You will now have online consumer-friendly
information that will enable you to make
an apples-to-apples comparison
when you choose a health insurance plan, all from your own home.
I SAY:
"Republican Pork vs Democrat Pork: now that is an apples-to-apples comparison and there is
little material difference between them. When looking for Congressional candidates in 2010, Americans should
make the smart choice and
boot all the incumbents out of office."
They want to put all Americans personal medical data on-line,
making it easily accessible. Under the Government Health Care Plan Americans must submit online,
hacker-friendly information that will further erode their privacy and security.
Colorado Senators Bennet, Salazar, and Udall: I'm calling all of you out. Too bad for y'all that you've forgotten YOU WORK FOR US!! Because you will surely vote for the final, fiscally unsustainable Democrat FED MED bill (opposed by 62% of voters), I will work tirelessly to see that you are all DEFEATED in your next election. I really don't care who wins - I just want each of you OUT of office. This web page is just the beginning of my work toward that goal. There is more such work I am doing here, and here, too. 'Have a nice term, boys.'
ATTENTION ALL INCUMBENTS: Look at your Ratings. How can you doubt that
I am going to have lot's of
help and support for my mission of hurling ALL your sorry asses out of office.
Pork yourselves while you still can.
