Is the concept of herd immunity medical collectivism?

Is this the $100 Million Health Care Vote? The Louisiana Purchase of Sen. Mary Landrieu may be cheap compared to the trillions that this debacle will cost should it actually pass. Saturday’s vote of 60-39 cleared the way for a bruising, full-scale debate beginning after Thanksgiving on the 2,074-page bill.
I am first out of the gate with commentary on the Senate’s vote on the so-called health (insurance) care reform. Over two thousand pages and over a trillion Federal Reserve Note dollars? That should be all you need to disqualify from the Senate anyone who votes for it for reasons of INCOMPETENCE.

Corrupt Health Care Bill To Pass Senate.wmv

Harry Reid has bought the 60th vote to pass health care by making a deal with Sen Ben Nelson of Nebraska for the federal government to pay for any medicaid increase his state has from health care FOREVER. The language in the bill is worse than in the beginning when Nelson took the high road and witheld his support. Sen Nelson from Fla got a guarantee to keep all his seniors health care advantage while the other 49 states will recieve DEEP cuts to that program. Sen Landreui from Louisiana got 300 million dollars for medicaid for her state for her vote. As for the first time in American history the bill mandates EVERY american to have health Insurance. It looks like the original bill that Reid leaked was dead last week is back, and what he’s been working on in secret was a 383 page managers amendment. The reason for the leak was probably to stop the groundswell of opposition that was coming in. Rep Stupak of the house is beside himself, because his bill guaranteeing subsidided people can not get abortions with comingled government money probably will be lost in the recociliation between bodies; which Nancy Pelosi promised him that would’nt happen. Reid should be brought up on RICCO charges and should not be above the law!

How John LaBruzzo Wants To End Welfare Abuse

http://www.corrupt.org/news/labruzzo_and_corrupt_campaign_for_welfare_reforms

How can we get more people who rely on government to have fewer children who rely on government?

This was the question John LaBruzzo, Republican State Representative from Louisiana, posed in public media to provoke a debate around the function of welfare in a healthy society. Eventually LaBruzzo was removed from his position as Vice Chairman of the House Health and Welfare Committee.

Why was John LaBruzzo deemed so dangerous that he had to be removed? The answer is that he dared to express an inconvenient truth. Louisiana has one of the most widespread state welfare programs in the United States, and not coincidentally, one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy; 20% higher than average. Statistics paint a bleak picture of welfare abusers with drug problems spanning generations. Louisiana is lagging behind the national average in terms of school dropouts, teen pregnancy, children in poverty without health insurance (nearly 10%), and lack of proficiency in reading and math.

Like every person defending an offensive truth in our society, LaBruzzo soon came to face the anger of the mob. What motivated him to declare what some consider a radical plan of eugenics was the parasitism seen after Hurricane Katrina:

“After this recent storm, we had some issues where these people were going into shelters and taking their cigarettes and welfare but didn’t have diapers or insulin for diabetic[s]they felt they were entitled to say, ‘Give me, give me.’ [They] didn’t want to set up cots or anything.”

LaBruzzo spoke for people who are tired of draining productive members of society with tax money in order to support people who chronically need the government to babysit them. As vice chairman of the Welfare Committee, he was in a unique leadership position to change welfare policy.

LaBruzzo offered some controversial solutions, such as offering $1,000 for recipients to be sterilized, and rewarding recipients without children. Fully aware of the fact that intelligent people have fewer children and later in life, LaBruzzo realized that this is the group we should be supporting. Throwing money at people who dont care about their own future or that of their community, LaBruzzo argued, is like feeding a pig with an open belly.

In a healthy society, LaBruzzos realizations would be law, rather than an offense. These issues need pragmatic solutions like those supported by LaBruzzo and CORRUPT.org.

Insurance Companies Confess in Court: “We Wouldn’t Pay a Dime” . . . unless sued!

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, insurance companies shifted wind damage claims to the National Flood Insurance Program that should have been covered by their own homeowners policies.

On June 9, 2009, the Mississippi Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the interpretation of the industrys anti-concurrent causation (ACC) clauses, which are buried deep inside homeowners insurance policies. The attorney for Nationwide, Christopher Landau, told the Supreme Court that Nationwide applies the ACC clause to exclude coverage of all damage caused by hurricane winds if subsequent flooding was sufficient to have caused the damage anyway.

In response to questioning, Landau answered that even if a house were 95 percent destroyed by winds before any flooding, Nationwide wouldnt pay a dime to the policyholder if the flooding was severe enough to have destroyed the house anyway.

Following this public admission in court, Rep. Gene Taylor (D-MS) explains how his proposed Multiple Peril Insurance Act solves this burdensome homeowner insurance crisis impacting Coastal Americans.

Rep Wasserman Schultz asks: Where Is The Republican Health Plan?

it has been more than 100 days since Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO), the point man for the rumored Republican alternative health reform plan said I guarantee you we will provide you with a bill.

Even Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal urged his party Tuesday to work with Democrats to offer health care solutions.
The time to act on health insurance reform is now. We must act to offer the choice of affordable quality health care to all Americans, putting you and your doctor—not the insurance companies—in charge of your health care while we reduce the burden of ballooning health care costs on American families, businesses and our fiscal future.
No is not a solution.
Saying you support reform with no evidence of that support and no plan, just doesnt cut it.
Continuing to say no to reform leaves tens of millions of Americans without health insurance, and 45,000 Americans die every year because of this.
Our friends on the other side of the aisle cant run away from the fact that they have no plan.
The time to act on health insurance reform is now.
