Amen to that, he wasn't into anything that might slow down the delivery

Now we have a totalitarian little (literally) *******.
Oh come on, are you really saying GWB didn't have his own ideological
and authoritarian agendas? Just because you happened to agree with them
doesn't make him any better than the current incumbent and at least, so
far, Obama doesn't appear to be a shill for big oil.

Doesn't it bother you that Obama is a shill for socialism and wussism
?:-)

Medicare Cuts Are Real

Many of you have recently received mail from AARP and if you have not,
you have definitely seen President Obama on every television channel
possible telling seniors that the health care reform bills before
Congress do not cut Medicare benefits. President Obama even chastised
Members of Congress in his recent address for saying that eliminating
$538 billion from Medicare would restrict senior’s access to care and
reduce the benefits they have paid for their entire lives.

Unfortunately for AARP and President Obama, the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) strongly disagrees. In testimony
before the Senate Finance Committee, the head of CBO, Douglas Elmendorf,
made it clear that the 25 percent of seniors in Florida that receive
their health care through Medicare Advantage can expect to see their
benefits reduced.

If that’s not enough reason to question the claims being made by
President Obama and AARP, let me leave you with a quote from the 2008
campaign made by then Sen. Obama. In regards to Medicare cuts he said,
“if you count on Medicare, it would mean fewer places to get care and
less freedom to choose your own doctors. You’ll pay more for your
drugs. You’ll receive fewer services. You’ll get lower quality care.
I don’t think that’s right.”

I don’t think that’s right either, Mr. President. As long as
Congressional Democrats and the President continue to advocate for
dramatic cuts to Medicare to pay for insurance subsidies for the young,
the healthy and the wealthy, I will continue to oppose their plan.


Thank you,

Ginny Brown-Waite M.C.
