How Much Can You be Forced to Pay for FREE Health Coverage?

(The cost estimates used here are for for persons with pre-existing  medical conditions.)

Slowly, details of the new 2,000+page government health insurance law
are being discovered.  .   Last week, a health insurance industry consultant was interviewed on national radio.  She estimated that for a person with pre-existing health  problems, it would cost them around $12,000 per year, about one thousand dollars per month, per person,  for health insurance under the new health care law.  The deductible would be around $2500 for each person for each year.   The monthly insurance premium is around $300 per person. And there are co-pays for each doctor or treatment visit.  She estimated that it would all add up to about $2500 a year for each person.  Having  insurance coverage is one thing, but receiving  health care  is another matter.  Many  people  don’t know what is going to happen to them – and how much power and control the federal employees and political appointees will have over their medical care decisions, and even over their lives.  Yes, there really are death panels—they had to admit their existence but they call them by another name.  Try the “duck test.”

The plan does not pay for anything before the deductible is paid out-of-pocket for the  year.  People will have no choice.  You will be by law, forced to enroll and  buy this national health insurance.  If you don’t, you will be fined heavily and the IRS will enforce the fine.  What does this say about freedom in America?

When congress and the administration forced  the health plan through,  against the will of the majority of Americans, they said you would be paying   an “insurance premium.”   Now that 18 states are  suing the  federal  government,  when the feds are arguing the case in court they call  it a tax. 

Sadly, AARP allegedly cut  a profitable  insurance deal with the administration –behind closed doors--to get government insurance business.  In doing so, AARP betrayed millions of senior citizens, including their members. AARP representatives in their local town hall meetings would not listen to the voices of the senior citizen members.    Many tore up their AARP membership cards.  

There is now a movement of seniors joining AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens.  AMAC is the alternative for the voice of those over 50.   My wife and I dropped AARP and are members of AMAC now.

I plan  to vote  in November  to elect representatives and senators  who will listen to us, -- to the American people -- and repeal this bad law.  Vote for leaders with conservative principles, who can unite on a plan to fix the existing health insurance problems.   In spite of all these  problems needing  to be fixed, America has the best  health  care  system in the world.  

We, the people must  unite to stop  socialized  medicine promoters  from destroying health care as we know it.   If we don’t begin to stop this runaway train in November,  the resulting  medical  train wreck will be a tragic loss from which we and our children  may never recover.  

There are good American voters  and good candidates out there.  We are paying attention.  Let’s encourage one another.   Let’s stay involved , stay informed, and be observant  regarding   how the votes are counted.   May it be a landslide victory for the American people and for the cause of Liberty.

Voices of Constitutional Conservatives On Radio and TV

I continue to look for sources of information, facts and stories about  key issues that seem to go unreported by the major media.  Here is a list of sources I believe are likely to provide the truth most of the time. This list is still growing. More resources will be added as they come to light. For more information,  click on the link for each.

Why I Left AARP and Joined AMAC

Thirty years ago I was an AARP  member.  Over time, I became uncomfortable with the values of the political left promoted by articles in their magazine. About 15 years ago I stopped my membership.

Recently I found  AMAC -- The Association of Mature American Citizens.  I  liked what I saw.  It was  a fresh , grassroots association started by a small business owner.  AMAC seems to expresses the views of the majority of ordinary Americans  at this time.  I joined immediately.  My  wife and I are both members.

AMAC supports the US Constitution and American conservative values and principles.If you have not yet checked out AMAC   you can go to  their website.  Click this link:  http://www.amac.us/

Join us and unite with us to preserve American freedom.  .  I believe you will be glad you did.
