Lynn B. DeSpain mentions…SOYLENT GREEN. I remember that movie well Charleston Heston, Edward G. Robinson…

We need to take our country back from the Democrats…I can't believe that Pelosi, Reid and gang have not been moved by the TEA PARTIES…but they will take notice in 2010.

To great the odds of your recovery for treatment. How can you pay back Society for your treatment, the HIVE? Are you productive? Do we need your food, your house? How much CO2 do you emit with each breath?

Anyone remember,"Soylent Green"?

Ask yourselves to whom or what entity do I appeal for the doctor’s care I need next week?

Chances are a patient may not receive that answer for three months; maybe too late for effective life saving treatment.

Ask anyone on Medicare if Medicare pays 100% of their bills.

In 2009, those covered under Medicare Part A (hospitalization) were responsible, per year, for the first $1,068.00 of hospital charges incurred during the 1st 60 days of confinement; for $267.00 per day for charges from the 61st through the 90th day of confinement; and for $534.00 per day from the 91st through the 150 day of confinement. After the 150th day of confinement Medicare pays nothing and the person on Medicare pays all further hospital charges.

Medicare part B pays for hospital outpatient charges and doctor's charges after an annual $135.00 deductible, these expenses are covered aty 80% by Medicare, with the individual paying the remaining 20% balance of covered charges. For prescription drugs, Medicare has an annual deductible of $295.00 then an individual has various copays, per prescription until those copays and the deductible add up to $2,700.00 during a calendar year; any additional prescription drug bills, all charges between $2,700. and $4,350. must be paid by the individual; if drug charges exceed $4,350. in a calendar year, 95% of the balance in paid by Medicare and 5% by the individual.

In addition to these deductibles, which increase each year, and the copays individuals must pay is the fact that Medicare does not cover all medical procedures. The Health Care Finance Authority (HICFA) is the governing authority over Medicare and it decides which procedures will be covered, what the annual deductibles and copays will be.

With $500 billion less to work with over the next 10 years do you think there is a better than average chance that HCFA will increasing those deductibles and copays that those on Medicare will have to pay?

Medicare pays doctors 30% less than insurance companies, for the same procedures on non-Medicare patients. When everyone is stuck under a government run health plan, do you think the number of doctors will increase or decrease?

When a lesser number of doctors have to treat 30 million or more people than they used to, do you think that will make it easier or more difficult to get in to see a doctor?

Remember too, that the geniuses who thought up this debaucle have graciously exempted themselves from having to participate in this so called national health care plan. They will keep their rich health care plans with Blue Cross, Humana, United Health Care and Aetna.

Another helping of hope and change anyone?

Obamacare, Cap & Trade, Card-Check, Out-of-Control Spending and the Treason-like Treatment of our Military need to be eradicated without any further delay.
