Morning Bell: Obamacare’s Effect on Seniors
Posted July 28th, 2009 at 9.24am in Health Care.

Today at 1:30 PM, President Barack Obama will participate in a health care “tele-town hall” at AARP headquarters in Washington, DC. The President is scheduled to answer questions about his health care plan from AARP members via phone, email, and even a live audience of about 40 AARP members and volunteers. We hope the event’s moderators will allow for a lively and honest debate, because our nation’s seniors stand to be huge losers under Obamacare:

Losing Your Doctor: Under the current system, more and more seniors are discovering that it is becoming harder and harder to find and keep doctors who will accept Medicare patients. A 2008 survey found that 29% of the Medicare beneficiaries it surveyed who were looking for a primary care doctor had a problem finding one to treat them, up from 24% the year before. This problem is compounded by the fact that our nation is facing a growing shortage of doctors. Obamacare promises to only make these problems worse. First, Obama plans to pay for up to a third of his plan by cutting $313 billion in Medicare reimbursements to health care providers over the next 10 years. This will only force more doctors to stop seeing Medicare patients. Second, Obama’s public “option” could decrease the annual net income of hospitals by $36 billion, while the annual net income of physicians could drop by $33.1 billion. Facing a sharp reduction in their pay, more doctors will retire early and more bright students will elect to pursue other careers, thereby reducing access and ensuring lower quality health care for future generations as well.

You cannot promise a social safety net of medicare, medicaid, social security, unemployment, welfare, municipal housing, job retraining and all the other big government programs....AND HAVE AN OPEN BORDER TO ALL THE WORLDS IMMIGRANTS....AND STILL REMAIN A FINANCIALLY SOUND NATION.

BUT WE IN THE UNITED STATES GO ANOTHER STEP DOWN THE SUICIDAL PATH....WE WANT BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIAL PROGRAMS THAT YOU HAVE TO BE EXHAUST YOUR LIFE ACCUMULATIONS OF HARD WORK AND BE AS DESTITUTE AS THE POOREST LEAST EDUCATED IMMIGRANT OR THE WELFARE KING/QUEEN THAT PLANS THEIR LIFE TO QUALIFY FOR SOCIAL PROGRAM......

THEN WE WANT OPEN BORDERS...GIVE US YOUR POOR YOUR TEMPEST TOST...TO EXPLOIT AGAINST OUR NATIVE BORN CITIZENRY THAT WANT TO DROP OUT AND WATCH PORN/VIDEO GAMES

WHILE AT THE SAME TIME CONTINUING ALL OUR TAX INCENTIVES TO OUTSOURCE AND OFF-SHORE JOBS SO THE WEALTHY CAN EXPLOIT THE COST OF LABOR DIFFERENTIALS AND GET THE HIGHEST RATE OF RETURN....AND PUSH THE COSTS OF THOSE HIGHEST RATES OF RETURN (UNEMPLOYMENT, WELFARE, ETC) UPON THE TAXPAYER.

I can't WAIT til the Dems shove health reform down the GOPers' throats. They can't come up with anything themselves, so they deserve it, and I'LL relish watching.
