OBAMACARE FORCED YOU ON TO MEDICAID? BEWARE!!!

Medicaid eligibility is based on your INCOME, not ASSETS.  In other words, your ASSETS are not counted.  You can go on Medicaid for your health insurance no matter what your assets are.  Remember, Medicaid is the federal/state program for low INCOME Americans (I use the word Americans loosely because illegal immigrants are also receiving Medicaid through fraudulent claims.  And no one stops them.)

Here's the rub.  Obamacare requires everyone to have health insurance. In more than half of the states in the country, that comes through an expansion of Medicaid due to income qualification. Under a 1993 federal law states can recoup the costs of Medicaid by seizing the property of deceased Medicaid recipients.  The theory is if you are receiving a public benefit and the state is supporting you, when you die your estate will have to give back to the state the amount of money the state expended on your behalf while you were living. That is if you have assets.  

Millions of Americans are going to get caught up in the Estate Recovery rules.  Surprise, surprise, you are low income, you have assets, you get state help, you die, your estate pays back.  Simple enough!!

Now if you were a member of a Union, Gay, Muslim, a big business, a Democrat contributor, or a host of other groups, you and your estate would be exempt.  Just a lowly American?  Pay up!

POP (PISSED OFF PARTY) SOUNDS GOOD TO ME

Political Party.*

*Not Democrat, Not Republican, NotIndependent.*

*It's called the "PISSED OFF PARTY" (or POP).*

*This party is dedicated to vote every incumbent out of office in the next elections.*

*If you're Democrat, and choose to vote Democrat....Do It... Just don't vote for the incumbent.*

*If you're Republican, and choose to vote Republican....Do It... Just don't vote for the incumbent.*

*We need to send a message to all politicians, that we're tired of their B.S.*

*If the country votes out all the incumbents, the new incoming politicians will hopefully get the message.*

*It's pretty simple. Nobody needs to change parties and let’s face it, there's plenty of blame to spread around.*

*A few good politicians will lose their job but they probably have better retirement and insurance than 95% of the American public.*

*Some of you have had to struggle for the last 5 years or more. Some of you have lost your job and may be working in some other sector just to feed your family.*

*I guarantee you, none of them will suffer like this country has.*

*If you like what’s going on and think this is a bad idea, delete this.*

*But if you're fed up and think this is a good idea, then pass this E-mail on.*

*If you really think this has legs, then a website and a blog could help get the word out.*

*To ALL 535 voting members of the Congress; it is now official you are ALL corrupt!*

*a. The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775. You have had 238 years to get it right and it is broke.*

*b. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 78 years to get it right and it is broke.*

*c. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 75 years to get it right and it is broke.*

*d. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 49 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.*

*e. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 48 years to get it right and they are broke.*

*f. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 43 years to get it right and it is broke.*

*g. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than than we did in 1977. You had 36 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.*

*You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.* We are $17 Trillion and Counting in Debt...Something Has Got to Change!!
 Plus $115 trillion in unfunded promises.

2 BILLION TAX DOLLARS SPENT ON ILLEGALS HAVING BABIES

Is there no end to the nutsos' claims that "we don't have a spending problem?"  Obama, Pelosi and a bunch of other Loonie Dems have recently said there is no spending problem, only a revenue problem.  Well, here's a good example of what I'd call a spending problem. Two billion dollars a year to reimburse hospitals for birthing babies of illegals.  And it's our money!  Fire the idiots who are running this country.  Ma and Pa Kettle at the Farm could do a better job than the current crew of miscreants.  And think of how much these illegal babies are going to cost when they get into the education system, in welfare and ongoing health care costs, Social Security, Medicare.  Amnesty is going to be forced down our throats.  The Republicans have come up with their own plan.  But none of the brainless are talking about the societal cost of making 11 or so million illegals, legal.  They must think money grows on the proverbial Taxpayer Tree!

2 BILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR

TOP REPUBLICAN WANTS CITIZENSHIP FOR CHILDREN OF ILLEGALS

Eric Cantor, the #2 Republican in Washington, has changed his mind about the Dream Act.  In 2010 he voted against giving children of illegals citizenship.  It's a different story now.  He's trying to suck up to Hispanics, and in doing that he's now in favor of amnesty for their kids.  What a hoot, let's just make everyone who is in this country an immediate "legal!"  After all, America is loaded with tax dollars to support their health care, education, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and to keep those who act up in prison.  Read about it here.  Any Republicans left out there who have any faith in the elite Republican Party?  Not Me!!  PUT UP A DAMNED FENCE BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, YOU MORONS!!

HERE'S THE STORY, READ IT AND WEEP

LAND OF THE FREEBIES, HOME OF THE ENSLAVED

Not too long of a clip, make sure you see the maps. It will blow your mind. It's obvious we can't keep this up. Wonder what it's going to take for Obama and Washington to get it? We are doomed.

BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, IT DOESN'T WORK-OBAMACARE

FROM NEWSMAX MAGAZINE--Why I won't vote for Mitt Romney in the Republican Primary for 2012. His Mass. plan was the blueprint for Obamacare.

Mass. Medical Plan Foretells Obamacare’s Ills

Five years ago, Massachusetts’ then-Gov. Mitt Romney approved a new medical plan that requires almost all state residents to have health insurance, just as Obamacare’s individual mandate would for the entire nation.

Today in Massachusetts, the wait time to see a doctor can be as long as seven weeks, and many doctors won’t accept patients in the subsidized insurance program. That does not bode well for national healthcare reform if it is fully implemented as planned by President Barack Obama and the Democrats.

A new study by the Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS), which has 23,000 physicians and student members and publishes the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, takes an in-depth look at healthcare in Massachusetts under the state program, which is often regarded as a model for Obama’s 2010 healthcare reforms. Among its findings:

• The average wait time for an appointment with an internist is 48 days, and the wait time to see a family physician is 36 days.
• The average wait time for pediatricians is 24 days, according to the MMS’s “2011 Study of Patient Access to Health Care.”
• Access to primary care physicians is becoming more restricted — 53 percent of family physicians and 51 percent of internists are not accepting new patients.
• Patients wait an average of 43 days to see a gastroenterologist, and 41 days to see an obstetrician/gynecologist.
• While 87 percent of family physicians accept Medicare, only 62 percent accept MassHealth, the state’s version of Medicaid.
• Only 56 percent of family physicians and 43 percent of internists accept Commonwealth Care, an insurance program for adults who don’t have private health insurance and don’t qualify for Medicare. Just 44 percent of family physicians and 35 percent of internists accept Commonwealth Choice, a program for uninsured adults that offers unsubsidized health insurance to people who are not eligible for Medicaid or Commonwealth Care.
• Due, in part, to a shortage of doctors participating in the program, the number of emergency room visits has actually risen under the Massachusetts plan.

This is an example of what Americans all over the country will be dealing with if Obamacare remains the law of the land.

$125 BILLION IN IMPROPER PAYMENTS

Mr. Obama, I am now convinced that you have gone completely over the edge with your 2012 budget proposal. A big part of your plan to reduce our crushing deficit is to raise taxes. I know it's so you can spend more, you know, the more you have, the more you will spend, but don't you understand that raising taxes removes spendable money from the economy?? If Americans have to pay the government, they have less to spend on things such as food and outrageously priced gas.

Furthermore, if you would just get rid of the fraud, waste and abuse in the budget you wouldn't have to raise taxes.

I am guessing that you are having meetings with advisors in your administration so you must have heard about the $125 billion in improper payments that the GAO listed in their report last week. Or maybe you are so busy meeting and greeting union heads and Earth Day supporters that you don't have time to meet with your cabinet heads.

So in case no one in the White House has told you yet, here is the information that you should be paying attention to:

2009 - federal agencies reported improper payments of $109.2 billion
2010 - federal agencies reported improper payments of $125.4 billion

Both of these years are on your watch, Mr. O.

The GAO defines improper payments as "over payments, underpayments, fraud, and payments that were not property documented." The $125 billion improperly spent was in 70 different programs encompassing 20 federal agencies. Here are the top "wasters" in Washington.

1. Medicare (Health and Human Services Dept.) 34.3 billion
2. Medicaid (Health and Human Services Dept.) 22.5 billion
3. Unemployment Insurance (Labor Dept.) 17.5 billion
4. Earned Income Tax Credit (Treasury Dept.) 16.9 billion
5. Medicare Advance (HHS again) 13.6 billion
6. SSI (Social Security Admin) 4.8 billion
7. Old Age Survivors' And Disability Ins. (Social Security) 3.2 billion
8. Nutrition Assistance (Agriculture Dept.) 2.2 billion
9. National School Lunch (Agriculture Dept.) 1.5 billion
10. Pell Grants (Education Dept.) 1.0 billion

Looks like no department has a monopoly on inefficiency, Mr. O. The reasons listed for the over payments range from medically unnecessary services, insufficient documentation, complexity of laws, unscrupulous claimants, fraud, data transfer errors, payment calculation errors, inadequate verification of information, over payments, non-verification of claimants eligibility, incorrect computation of benefits, and other reasons.

And now I am confused, Mr. O. I do believe you campaigned on the idea that you were going to go to Washington and clean it up, no more "business as usual," you were going to bring "change you can believe in." You were going to root out waste, abuse, fraud, and you even said you would cut our deficit in half within the first two years of being in office.

So why haven't you done what you promised? Were they just empty words? Empty promises? Were you promising anything just to win? I believe so, as you've already begun the political rhetoric and hype for 2012. And every time you open your mouth I am reminded that I cannot believe a word you say.

I genuinely pray that the Americans who voted for you last time remember that your promises mean nothing. They are going to hear the same drivel for the next two years. I just hope that they see the light before Nov. 2012.

HOW DO YOU SPELL "CRASH AND BURN?"

GOVERNMENTGONEWILD.ORG, a web site devoted to exposing the dangers of a Government Gone Wild. Watch this video and forward this to everyone you know. Obama is NOT telling us the truth about how dangerous our "debt" is. Watch our DEBT, not our yearly DEFICIT. There is a difference. Obama is remarkably out of his depth as he and the Democrats refuse to confront our massive DEBT. They are driving us over the cliff, full speed ahead and it appears they don't realize the danger or they just don't care.

Some suggestions? Cut funding of all bailouts, subsidies, whole departments that are proven to be worthless, foreign aid which we cannot afford, social engineering programs that are not in our Constitution, cut the 200,000 employees that Obama has added to the federal payroll in just two years, cut all government program by 20% across every agency, and then cut all government spending by 10-15% every year until the debt is paid off. Enact immediately a Balanced Budget Bill that forces every administration to present a budget that matches spending to income. This would prevent Washington from creating new debt.

Do You Think There Is Anyone In Washington With The Boldness, Fortitude or Intelligence To Tell Us The Truth? Paul Ryan is getting there, but even his plan is not enough. And Yes, there are going to have to be changes to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Like it or not, if we do not change those programs the debt problem will not be fixed and those programs will simply die a flaming death when we can no longer pay the bill. Wouldn't you rather have SOME Medicare/Social Security/Medicaid than NONE at all?

You must get involved in this fight to save America. Standards and Poors has changed our debt rating, and that is very, very serious business. Do not sit on the sidelines while America suffocates from our massive debt.

OBAMACARE TAB UP, NOT DOWN

So the news today is that health care costs will RISE under Obamacare, not go down as Obama continually told us. This information comes from our own GOVERNMENT, who has been studying Obamacare since its passage. This information shows that Obamacare didn't solve the cost problem in spite of Obama's promises.

The analysis found that health care spending will grow to nearly 20% of our economy. That is a HUGE amount of money and will surely affect the country's ability to spend money on other things, like education, research, transportation, or other programs.

Medical spending now accounts for about 17% of the economy, and most experts will tell that that even at 17%, it's too high. After all, wasn't that the purpose of Obamacare? To bring down the percent of money spent on health care?

But here is more sobering news.

By 2014 Medicaid will be opened up to millions more low-income people. Many doctors/clinics are already not accepting Medicaid patients because they lose money on every patient (due to federal mandated limits on coverage), and they can't afford to treat them, so that's one problem. The other is that for those who do get coverage, up goes our debt.

That same year insurers will have to accept all applicants, regardless of health problems. Who does Obama think is going to pay for that? Oh, the health coverage companies you say? The increased cost will just be passed on to the consumer, so up go our premiums.

Most Americans will be required to carry coverage or face a fine from the IRS. Yes, that's right, the Boogie Man IRS with their heavy handed tactics will be in control of assessing and collecting these fines. 17,000 more IRS agents are being hired. How much do you think 17,000 new federal employees will cost us? These costs were NOT included in the final cost estimates for Obamacare. Another scam on the American public. And up goes our debt again.

The report also shows that government is already becoming the dominant player in health care without fully enacting Obamacare. The biggest growth will come in Medicare and Medicaid (up 34% by 2014). Who is going to pay for this increase? Guess what, we are, and up goes our debt.

Do Obama backers get it yet? He lied again and again just to shove through his idea of what our health care should look like.

It's no wonder Obama wants to raise all taxes through not extending the Bush tax cuts. He has to pay for this travesty some way.

In the meantime, do you understand what Bankruptcy looks like? Get ready. We are already there.

Obese Feds watching Obesity

The battle of the bulge is about to become public knowledge for Unlike Sam. BMI (body mass index), which is supposedly an obesity indicator, is now required to be part of our health records, in addition to height and weight. And ALL of our health records are required to be electronic by 2014. Our records will be available for access by the national health exchanges that are mandated by Obamacare. Health professionals who don't meet this reporting requirement will face reduced Medicare and Medicaid payments.

The BMI reporting requirement is part of the stimulus bill that was passed. It is not part of Obamacare. The problem, of course is that BMI is very arbitrary. What's obese for one persons height, weight and body structure may not be obese for someone else.

Big Brother is coming for us, folks. And once our health record are electronically in the hands of the government nothing will be private. Ever heard of identity theft? There's no way the feds can protect these records.
