Healthcare: They're Not Giving Up!

They're Not Giving Up - According to a Senate leadership aide, senators are aiming to make a decision about how to proceed on health care by the end of this week. The stark political reality is that "most Democrats have already voted for the bill, making them more invested in finishing the job." Unfortunately, for many Democratic legislators, bad policy passed may be better than bad policy abandoned - regardless of how that policy affects most Americans.

Neither Are We! - Thanks to your continued support, the NCPA is prepared to launch three successive waves of targeted communication to fence-sitting members of Congress. These waves include:

• The Opening Salvo - Contact the Stupak Supporters: Sixty-four House Democrats supported the Stupak (abortion) amendment - legislation that doesn't exist in the Senate version and is unlikely to make it through on reconciliation. As such, these House members might vote against government-run health care if convinced.
• The Second Blast: Write the Disloyal Opposition. Sixteen House Democrats opposed the overall bill but voted for it on partisan lines. They're ripe for well-placed letters, phone calls, emails and member visits.
• The Knock-Out Blow: Collar the Blue Dogs. Eleven House Democrats are self-described moderates. While they supported the bill during Round 1, Round 15 is getting close-and they may be ready for "change we can believe in."

The First Wave Begins! This week many of you have received or will soon receive a personal request from me, asking you to write your representative in Congress. You're fortunate: as a constituent of an undecided House member, you are in a position to have a particularly significant impact on the future of our nation's health care! Please let your voice be heard:

• Go to Free Our Health Care NOW!
• Enter your personal information and click TAKE ACTION!
• You can write a letter or make a phone call. You can do either; both are important!

Democratic Doctor, Representative from Alabama, is switching parties!

A lot of headlines don't mention he's a doctor and focus on his "blue dog" status, but that certainly must have been an important factor in his decision given that the Democrats are responsible for this health care monstrousity which is very bad for patients and doctors!

HotAir.com covers this scoop from Politico

HEALTHCARE - In summary, the president has had to change his arguments, abandon his statistics, and repudiate his anecdotes

Stopping Obamacare's Government Option Via The Blue Dogs: The List and Contact Information

The president has abandoned his "guarantees" that the currently covered can keep their insurance and their doctors. He has dramatically lowered his estimate of the number of uninsured. He has been embarrassed by the fact that he used a false story of insurance denial leading to death in his big speech to Congress last week.

In summary, the president has had to change his arguments, abandon his statistics, and repudiate his anecdotes. Why would anyone believe his assurances, his estimates or his projections, especially about Medicare, given this record of shifting stories and stats?

The collapse of the president's credibility on Obamacare has been accelerated by the ongoing and exploding scandal about ACORN, a group with which he is and will remain closely identified. The president of course is not responsible for the individuals whose criminality has been captured on tape these past two weeks, but if this is the sort of organization he has represented in the past and which is part of his core alliance of activists. What does that tell voters about the reliability of the rest of the president's core coalition?

At a minimum this all adds up to red lights and sirens for the nation's seniors, who know or should know that they are the big target for Obamacare "savings" --which means huge hikes in the cost of Medicare Advantage or huge cuts in available benefits, or both. Seniors especially have to hit the phones to the Blue Dog Democrats --their numbers are listed here and below-- and dial again and again and warn these Democrats that they will be retired in 14 months if they push through Obamacare.

CRITICAL CALL TO ACTION FROM HUGH HEWITT RE: OBAMACARE

CLICK ON THE LINK AND MAKE THE CALLS ASAP:

It is possible to stop the destruction of American medicine, but individual voters are going to have to get involved, led by doctors and other health care professionals who see what President Obama is pushing when it comes to health care. I am going to leave this post up at the top of this site until Monday in order to get the list it contains of contact information as widely disseminated as possible.
