T: Is for Trouble with Health Care


One of the leading progressive champions of health care reform is pessimistic, he sees virtually no path to passing strong legislation and predicting potential congressional losses for Democrats as a consequence. Howard Dean stated that Senate Democratic leadership was "in deep trouble" on health care, even after Majority Leader Harry Reid gather over the weekend the 60 votes needed to get legislation to the floor. This is going to be death for the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee] and the [Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee]. Why would anyone donate if they're supporting candidates who defeat the Democratic agenda?"

Despite countless attempts over nearly a century, no chamber of Congress has ever before passed comprehensive health reform. This is history. Tragically, 39 Democrats, mostly corrupt, bought-out Insurance Industry shills, crossed the aisle and found themselves on the wrong side of history. Representative Paul Ryan Just Said No To Affordfable Health Care For America's Middle Class. The House of Representatives took historic bipartisan action by passing health insurance reform. Putting big insurance company profits before struggling middle class families. For years, middle class families have seen their health insurance costs skyrocket, while insurance companies have made enormous profits by limiting coverage.

The nonprofit Americans for Prosperity Foundation launched a new campaign called Patients United Now "to educate citizens about the threat of government controlled health care." As part of the campaign, an ad called "Survivor" was released on Wednesday that says Washington wants to bring "Canadian-style" health care to the U.S. -- and began airing on Wednesday a 30-minute documentary-style video entitled "End of Patient’s Rights — The Human Consequences of Government-Run Health Care." The video is airing nationally on cable networks and will air on A&E, the History Channel and the Washington NBC affiliate after "Meet the Press" on Sunday. The notion of a "government-run" health care plan is a F.A.C.T people should read up on before you lose your rights!
