		<description><![CDATA[50 nightmares that will become realitiy by LAW should we allow the Constitutional scofflaw despots in both houses of Congress to pass the "Pubic Option" Socialized Healthcare bill.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you thought rationalized healthcare was bad for America before you knew what was in the bill, it is even worse than you thought now that we are beginning to know what it actually includes. Is this the change you wanted for yourself? your family? Do you really want the Government deciding what is best for you and your family? Speak Out America and Do It NOW!</p>
<p>50 nightmares that will become realitiy by LAW should we allow the Constitutional scofflaw despots in both houses of Congress to pass the &#8220;Pubic Option&#8221; Socialized Healthcare bill:<br />
 <br />
 <br />
1) Pg 22 mandates that the Government will audit books of ALL EMPLOYERS that self insure. So every employer in the United States will be subjected to a health insurance audit just as all taxpayers are subject to audit. Of course, we will have to pay for an entire new bureaucracy to do this&#8211;the Internal Health Revenue Service?<br />
 <br />
2) Pg 30, Sec 123 states that there will be a government committee that decides what treatments you are allowed and what your overall benefits are.<br />
 <br />
3) Pg 29, lines 4-16 basically mandates the rationing of health care as is being done in Canada.<br />
 <br />
4) Pg 42 recognizes the power of the Health Choices Commissioner to determine your health benefits. You will have no choice.<br />
 <br />
5) PG 50, section 152 states that free, taxpayer-paid health care will be given to the 30 million non-citizens in the USA, even illegal aliens.<br />
 <br />
6) Pg 58 states that government will have possession of all your health care records &amp; history including finances and you will have to have a National ID Healthcard.<br />
 <br />
7) Pg 59, lines 21-24 gives direct access to your banks accounts to compel you to pay any out-of-pocket or premium costs electronically without your previous consent.<br />
 <br />
 <img src='http://captkarl.blogivists.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> PG 65, sec 164 provides for a political payoff from the Democrats and Obama; a special subsidized plan for retirees and their families in unions community groups like ACORN.<br />
 <br />
9) Pg 72, lines 8-14 creates a Health Care Exchange to bring private health insurance plans under government control. This part of the bill reveals Obama&#8217;s lies about being able to keep your plan if you like it. Any health insurance plan which does not completely rework itself to conform to these regulations will be dropped from the exchange and those insured will have to pick one of the plans in the exchange. This is why the Congressional Budget Office determined that over 20 million will lose the coverage they are now enjoying if Obamacare is implemented.<br />
 <br />
10) PG 85, line 7 provides specifics for benefit levels for all health plans, giving government the right to ration everyone&#8217;s healthcare.<br />
 <br />
11) PG 91, lines 4-7 mandates that doctor&#8217;s offices, clinics and hospitals provide language-appropriate services, basically ordering them to hire translators at the expense of the American taxpayer.<br />
 <br />
12) Pg 95, lines 8-18 allows the government to hire non-profit community groups like ACORN and Americorps to sign up people for the government health plan.<br />
 <br />
13) PG 85, line 7 provides for specifics on benefit levels for Medicare recipients, basically rationing the care of every senior citizen I the United States.</p>
<p>14) PG 102, lines 12-18 mandates that all Medicaid eligible will be automatically enrolled in Medicaid based upon income and insurance status. No choice.<br />
 <br />
15) Pg 124, lines 24-25 states that no private company or individual can have the right to sue the federal government for medical price fixing, basically eliminating your right to seek redress in the courts regarding your medical care.<br />
 <br />
16) Pg 127, lines 1-16 dictates doctors&#8217; payment and therefore income which will reduce what doctors earn and lead to greater shortages of doctors and more rationing of care.<br />
 <br />
17) Pg 145, line 15-17 any employer not currently insuring their employees must enroll employees into public plan option, with no choice of private insurance allowed.<br />
 <br />
18) Pg 126, lines 22-25 mandates that employers must pay for health insurance even for part-time workers and their families, which will certainly lead to massive layoffs.<br />
 <br />
19) Pg 149, lines 16-24 all employers with an annual payroll bigger than $400k who does not pay to enroll employees in public insurance option will pay an 8% tax on all payroll.<br />
 <br />
20) Pg 150, lines 9-13 mandates that employers with an annual payroll between $251K &amp; $400K who does not pay to enroll employees in public insurance option will pay a 2-6% tax on all payroll.<br />
 <br />
21) Pg 167, lines 18-23 any individual who is self-employed and does not have health insurance will be taxed 2.5% of income and forced to accept public health insurance. So paying for health care out of pocket will be banned from the face of the earth.<br />
 <br />
22) Pg 170, lines 1-3 exempts non-resident aliens from the individual health care taxes, so Americans citizens will pay for these aliens, legal and illegal alike.<br />
 <br />
23) Pg 195 officers &amp; employees of the new Health Care Administration will have access to all Americans personal financial records and accounts.<br />
 <br />
24) PG 203, line 14-15 actually says that &#8220;The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax.&#8221; Yes, it says that.<br />
 <br />
25) Pg 239, line 14-24 mandates that available physician services will be reduced for Medicaid recipients. Many poor people including many seniors will be affected.<br />
 <br />
26) Pg 241, line 6-8 mandates that all doctors receive the same pay, regardless of specialty. This will vastly reduce the number of specialists available in the United States, a common problem where medicine is socialized like Canada.<br />
 <br />
27) PG 253, line 10-18 allows the federal government to set the value of doctor&#8217;s time, professional judgment.<br />
 <br />
28) PG 265, Sec 1131 mandates and controls the productivity of all health care providers including surgeons!<br />
 <br />
29) PG 268, Sec 1141 regulates the rental &amp; purchase of power driven wheelchairs.<br />
 <br />
30) PG 272, Sec. 1145 regulates the operation of certain types of cancer hospitals, again rationing the care of cancer patients.<br />
 <br />
31) Page 280, Sec 1151 allows the government to penalize hospitals for what is deemed to be preventable readmissions. So instead of being sued for malpractice, the government will be the punitive body when mistakes are made.<br />
 <br />
32) Pg 298, lines 9-11 mandates that if a doctor treats a patient during initial admission and that result in a re-admission, the doctor will be subject to federal penalties. Gee do you think that&#8217;s going to drive up the cost of malpractice.<br />
 <br />
33) Pg 317, lines 13-20 will create prohibitions on ownership and investment in the health service industry for doctors.<br />
 <br />
34) Pg 317-318, lines 21-25, and 1-3 will prohibit the expansion of all hospitals.<br />
 <br />
35) pg 321, lines 2-13 allows hospitals apply for an exception to the expansion rule but they must seek community input first!<br />
 <br />
36) Pg335, lines 16-25, Pg 336-339 mandates the establishment of outcome based health care and insidious idea that actually limits the treatment choices made by patients with their doctors, based upon the patient&#8217;s health and condition. This will result in the oldest, weakest and sickest patients being denied treatments simply because the statistics for success in their demographic category are poor! This is a form of health care rationing that will save money at the expense of seniors to help buy insurance for the uninsured, most of whom are young and healthy!<br />
 <br />
37) Pg 341, lines 3-9 allows the government to disqualify Medicare Advantage Plans and HMO forcing people into the government run public plan.<br />
 <br />
38) Pg 354, Sec 1177 will arbitrarily restrict the enrollment of special needs children and adults.<br />
 <br />
39) Pg 379, Sec 1191 mandates the creation of even more bureaucracy in the Telehealth Advisory Committee.<br />
 <br />
40) PG 425, lines 4-12 mandates &#8220;Advance Care Planning Consultation,&#8221; another insidious vehicle to save money by encouraging seniors who are in poor health to be more accepting of death rather than fighting to stay alive and healthy and with their loved ones.<br />
 <br />
41) Pg 425, lines 17-19 mandates that all senior patients will be consulted regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney.<br />
 <br />
42) PG 425, lines 22-25, 426 lines 1-3 provides an approved list of end of life resources, to help guide seniors about the process of dying!<br />
 <br />
43) PG 427, lines 15 mandates program for orders on the end of life, actually giving the government a say in how your life ends!<br />
 <br />
44) Pg 429, lines 1-9 dictates the frequency with which an Advance Care Planning Consultant will have to meet with patients as their health deteriorates.<br />
 <br />
45) PG 429, lines 10-12 give an Advance Care Planning Consultant the power to order end of life plans for a patient.<br />
 <br />
46) Pg 429, lines 13-25 will only allow certain doctors, not necessarily your own physician, to write an end of life order.<br />
 <br />
47) PG 430, lines 11-15 allows the government to decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life.<br />
 <br />
48) Pg 469 mandates &#8220;Community Based Home Medical Services&#8221; through non profits like ACORN. Happy yet that we elected a community organizer to the White House?<br />
 <br />
49) PG 489, Sec 1308 force taxpayers to pay for Marriage &amp; Family therapy under the public insurance plan.<br />
 <br />
50) Pg 494-498 allows government to define mental illnesses and what services will be allowed to treat, again rationing this care.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I received the following letter from Senator Herbert Kohl (D-WI) in response to my e-mail asking him to allow the exploration for Oil and Gas in all areas possible, because the U.S. has Trillions of Barrels of oil resources]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: x-small">I received the following letter from Senator Herbert Kohl (D-WI) in response to my e-mail asking him to allow the exploration for Oil and Gas in all areas possible, because the U.S. has Trillions of Barrels of oil resources (see other posts on this site) to be completely energy independent and lower the price of gasoline and energy to where it was 2 &#8211; 4 years ago and the cost to our families and the hardship is too much to bear.  I pleaded with him, in my e-mail, to open up ANWR, the oceans around our country and the thousands of square miles of federal lands to exploration and production of oil.  I also requested that he clear the way of Government red tape and expense for companies to build several refineries so that we could afford to live.  Read his reply, below, for yourself and access if he gives a damn about us.</p>
<p>Basically, as you can see for yourself in the copy of his letter below, he doesn&#8217;t care how expensive it gets or how bad we are hurt.  Sure, he Feingold and the rest of both houses of Congress will just vote themselves raises for the extra cost for energy and all products we need to buy for life, so that we not only pay for the increased prices on all products and gasoline that we need to live but than we will also be &#8216;forced&#8217; by the IRS Agents to pay for their increased costs as well.  Such a deal!  <span style="color: #ff0000">Are we getting mad as hell yet?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">We all need to act!  We honestly should be demonstrating in the streets. The Congress does not care if we loose our homes or can not afford to buy food.  Herbert Kohl doesn&#8217;t care.  Russ Feingold doesn&#8217;t care. Dave Obey doesn&#8217;t care.  Steve Kagen doesn&#8217;t care.  All four of these Congressmen are Democrats. All four of them sent me similar letters or worse.  How long are we going to take this abuse?  All they have to do is legalize the exploration and drilling for oil and gas and the prices, according to an expert commodities trader on the Rush Limbaugh program today, will come down about $30.00 &#8211; $35.00 a barrel.</span></p>
<p>Here is Senator Kohls e-mail back to me:</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I value the correspondence I get from people in Wisconsin, and I welcome this opportunity to address your concerns.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our national wildlife refuges were created in 1903 and later expanded by the Roosevelt administration. Today, our national refuges are threatened because of several laws passed in the 1960s that allowed &#8220;secondary activities&#8221; on refuges, including oil and gas drilling, timber harvesting, grazing, farming and commercial fishing.</p>
<p>I have been very active in protecting this pristine wilderness from drilling in the past. Most recently on May 13, 2008, Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) introduced an amendment to S. 2284, the Flood Insurance Reform and Modernization Act of 2007, which would have allowed for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and off the coasts of the United States. I voted against this proposal and the amendment failed by a vote of</p>
<p>42 to 56.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Additionally, I co-sponsored Senator Lieberman&#8217;s (I-CT) bill, S. 2316, which was introduced on November 7, 2007 that would designate a portion of the ANWR as a wilderness, placing a permanent ban on development. S. 2316 has been referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works, of which I am not a member.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please be assured I continue to support any further efforts to protect the valuable natural resources of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. I oppose drilling for oil and gas in the ANWR because of the irreparable damage that would be done to its fragile ecosystem. I do not believe short-term economic considerations should take precedence over the health of the environment. In addition, it is clear that drilling in ANWR will not provide enough domestic oil supply to minimize the control that OPEC has on the petroleum market.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Even in these trying times, insulating ourselves from the world prices of oil will not come from increasing domestic production. We cannot drill ourselves out of our oil dependency, there is simply not enough oil within our borders. However, the U.S. can reduce its vulnerability to oil price shocks by decreasing its demand for oil altogether. The way to ease the impact of high oil prices on consumers is to give consumers tools to reduce their demand for oil. Prolonging our nation&#8217;s dependence on oil will continue to place our economic security at risk. Instead, I believe this debate should focus on alternative energy sources, for the economic and environmental health of our nation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Again, thank you for contacting me. I appreciate knowing your thoughts on this important issue.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Herb Kohl</p>
<p>U.S. Senator</p>
<p></span></p>
