Thanks to Misty Baker for this informative and easy to read flow-chart of the USSA’s government bureaucracy required for the new Obama socialized healthcare.
FoxNews reports that “The legislation calls for a 5.4 percent tax increase on individuals making more than $1 million a year, with a gradual tax beginning at $280,000 for individuals. Employers who don’t provide coverage would be hit with a penalty equal to 8 percent of workers’ wages, with an exemption for small businesses. Individuals who decline an offer of affordable coverage would pay 2.5 percent of their incomes as a penalty, up to the average cost of a health insurance plan.
‘The liberal-leaning plan lacked figures on total costs, but a House Democratic aide said the total bill would add up to about $1.5 trillion over 10 years. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private calculations.”
CALL YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS WHO will likely cast a vote this week on socialized ObamaCare. Call today and make sure your voice is heard:
Two shadowy back-room deals are being struck right now in Congress as part of the Obama-Reid-Pelosi push to advance socialized healthcare before the August "recess."
In the House, Blue Dog Democrats are reviewing a private "compromise" that would advance ObamaCare to the House floor as soon as this Friday. Meanwhile in the Senate, six Senators are working behind closed doors on a bill that would allow the Senate to move ObamaCare through committee in the next few days.
THAT MEANS TWO CLOSED-DOOR, BACK-ROOM DEALS ARE BEING STRUCK RIGHT NOW TO PUSH US TO THE BRINK OF OBAMACARE THIS WEEK!
In both cases, details have not been released. We are simply told to trust members of Congress with the future of our health care and then accept their final vote.
If they get ObamaCare passed through the House and through the Senate Finance Committee this week, most of their work will be done. The Democrats will then simply iron out the differences (i.e. revert to the full ObamaCare blueprint).
+ + Next 48 hours crucial
Also, call the "Senate Six" and tell them you do NOT want any government mandate program that further burdens our economy, undermines the private sector and creates a federal healthcare mandate on businesses or individuals.
The "Senate Six": Max Baucus: 202-224-2651 Chuck Grassley: 202-224-3744 Kent Conrad: 202-224-2043 Jeff Bingaman: 202-224-5521 Olympia Snowe: 202-224-5344 Mike Enzi: 202--224-3424
Talking Points:
#1 -- I am outraged that the House and Senate are fast-tracking the President's socialized healthcare plan this week.
#2 -- I do not want the government to have more control and influence over my health care. That is why I reject House health care bill (H.R. 3200) and the soon-to-be-released Senate "compromise" plan that still creates a federal mandate.
#3 -- America cannot afford the $1.5 trillion price tag of socialized health care during these difficult economic times. I flatly reject any health care proposal that increases costs or imposes new taxes on any American.
Again, we are now fighting a two-front battle THIS WEEK that could determine whether socialized ObamaCare becomes a reality this year.
