Ronald Reagan on Socialized Medicine

One of our fans on Facebook posted this video on our wall and I wanted to repost it here to share with the rest of you. Listen to what Reagan is saying here and how so little has changed since the early 60's with regard to the Left's desire to subject us all to socialized medicine and how the same rules and calls to action apply today to try to stop this usurpation of our liberty.

Arrogance

This article by John Stossel from Real Clear Politics.

It's crazy for a group of mere mortals to try to design 15 percent of the U.S. economy. It's even crazier to do it by August.

Yet that is what some members of Congress presume to do. They intend, as the New York Times puts it, "to reinvent the nation's health care system".

Let that sink in. A handful of people who probably never even ran a small business actually think they can reinvent the health care system.

Flatline ObamaCare Now!

Alright folks,

We are working on posting updates on facebook, our action blog and our regular blog. It's up to all of us and those who we know to take action and call and fax these politicians. The 2 individuals listed below have been singled out because they are blue dog democrats who are on the fence on the bill. We can sway them to not toe the party line. The health care bill has stalled in committee. We have to strike now before they pull the wool over our eyes again and sneak this by us.

I cannot stress to you enough that taking action now and killing this thing now is of utmost importance. If this thing passes and the President signs it you can be sure that getting rid of this monstrosity will be very difficult. Stop it now before it's too late. Forward this info to your friends, post it on your blog, post it on my space or anywhere you can.. Take action! Start today!

Here is the text that we should use (feel free to add or subtract as you see fit so long as we are united in saying NO to HR3200).

Hi, my name is _____________. I'm calling about HR 3200, the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act. I am concerned about that this bill will lead to a government takeover of health care and that the tax increases proposed by Democratic leadership could have a crippling effect on our economy. Georgians are watching and waiting to see if the Congressman will stand for taxpayers, present and future, and be a voice for fiscal sanity.

Thanks for your time.

Here is the info for the congressmen whom we can sway. Remember, it doesn't matter if they are not in your district or even in your state. Their decisions affect all of us.

Here is the contact information for Rep. Jim Marshall (D-GA-8). He is from Macon, so that is probably the best office to contact.

Macon Office:
682 Cherry Street, Suite 300
Macon, GA 31201
Phone: (478) 464-0255
Toll-free: (877) 464-0255
Fax: (478) 464-0277

Dublin Office:

Dublin, GA 31021
Phone: (478) 296-2023

Washington Office:

Washington, DC 20515
Phone: 202/225-6531
Fax: 202/225-3013

John Barrow (D-GA-12) is the other Democrat from Georgia who is potentially vulnerable. He tends to be more liberal than Marshall, but not by much.

Savannah is probably the best office to call here.

It's Not An Option

This from Investor's Business Daily Editorials.

Congress: It didn't take long to run into an "uh-oh" moment when reading the House's "health care for all Americans" bill. Right there on Page 16 is a provision making individual private medical insurance illegal.

When we first saw the paragraph Tuesday, just after the 1,018-page document was released, we thought we surely must be misreading it. So we sought help from the House Ways and Means Committee.
It turns out we were right: The provision would indeed outlaw individual private coverage. Under the Orwellian header of "Protecting The Choice To Keep Current Coverage," the "Limitation On New Enrollment" section of the bill clearly states:
"Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day" of the year the legislation becomes law.
So we can all keep our coverage, just as promised — with, of course, exceptions: Those who currently have private individual coverage won't be able to change it. Nor will those who leave a company to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from private carriers.
