AARP sells out seniors for big bucks
Just got this email. Gotta work on this before the senate confirms the fact that we do not deserve any freedom to spend our wages on anything but taxes.

AARP sells out seniors for big bucksNovember 9, 2009 Dear The AARP claims to be all about representing the interests of seniors, but when it comes to health care reform, they are selling seniors down the river to line their own pockets. The AARP has endorsed the gargantuan PelosiCare bill that just passed the House, despite the fact the bill proposes more than $400 billion in cuts to Medicare, which is certain to lead to rationing, inferior care and “death panels” for vulnerable senior citizens. Why? As they say, follow the money. PelosiCare will also cut Medicare Advantage by $170 billion. Medicare Advantage allows seniors to purchase private insurance with their Medicare payments, but these cuts will drive many of these seniors into inferior Medigap plans. AARP has a vested interest in seniors being driven out of Medicare Advantage into Medigap plans because AARP makes a fortune in royalty fees from Medigap plans. More than one-half of its $1.1 billion budget comes from such royalty fees, and Medigap plans make up the biggest share of this royalty revenue by far. The more seniors are forced out of Medicare Advantage into Medigap plans, the more money AARP makes. In other words, under PelosiCare, seniors lose but AARP wins – big time. Even the Washington Post noted the conflict of interest on Oct. 27, when it said, “Democratic proposals to slash reimbursements for…Medicare Advantage are widely expected to drive up demand for private Medigap policies like the ones offered by AARP.” TAKE ACTION If you are an AARP member, we urge you to cancel your membership today. Their number is 1-888-687-2277. American Seniors Association (ASA) is an alternative we suggest you check out. AFA does not officially endorse ASA, but simply offers it as a conservative alternative to AARP. By the way, ASA is offering any senior that sends in a torn AARP card a special deal that provides them with a two-year membership for the price of one year.
It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is “Confident” All Americans Will Pay for Abortions
Who are these people in Congress, and especially this woman? For what do Democrats stand? It isn’t morality nor freedom of conscience!
Consider this…
“It was extremely painful for me to feel compelled to vote for a bill that contained that kind of restriction on a woman’s ability to make her own reproductive choices,” Wasserman Schultz said.
What a choice, enslaving Americans or killing unborn babies? It cannot be a moral dilemma because killing and enslaving are immoral! But this is the Deocratic party who cannot vote with conscience… they have none. But this quote is pure hypocrisy!
The worst part of this tyranny is the maximum penalty of 5 years in jail and $250,000 fine for not carrying a $15,000 per year health policy on yourself or your dependents. Of course, if you are an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, you are EXEMPT from the REQUIREMENT AND THE PENALTY! However, U.S. citizens will be compelled to purchase a plan mandated by government fiat, there is no opt-out for conscience, or any other reason.
Medicare is cut by $500 billion… and it is not all from reduction of waste, in fact very little will come from reduction of waste. It will come directly from cuts to how Medicare services are provided you may even be required to see a nurse-practitioner for care, not a doctor. The government will then be a consultant, electronically, on the care of patients.
The money you pay for your “health plan” will be used to fund abortions, including those to full-term! It will also be used to fund community “entities” with no required qualifications, interpreters and awarding grants based on race. You cannot get out for conscience, or even religious purposes.
But don’t let the abortion thing fool you, it is the tool being used to get this tyrannical bill passed. They bought all those so-called “blue dog” Democrats who would have you believe they have a conscience and do not want others to pay for abortion. All the while shackling every working American to a $15,000 tax. Shame, Ms Pelosi, shame Ms. Wasserman-Schultz and shame to everyone who voted aye on enslavement!
Start building jails congress! There you give free room, board, education and healthcare for everyone!

Healthcare… Seniors, Do you think AARP really serves or exploits your interest?
Seniors have been duped into voting for a party that really does not care about them. Oh, they say that they do, but this plan says something completely different. Over $350 billion cost of this new health plan is coming from Medicare “savings.”
The democrats are telling you, these cuts are coming from reducing fraud and waste… that is a sham. If there is fraud and waste in Medicare now, why hasn’t it been eliminated? Do we really need onerous new laws to get rid of it, I think not!
To add insult to injury…. the AARP dumps seniors into a less care for more money plan, too. Oh, they will gladly take their money… but happily endorse massive CUTS to Medicare!
Follow the money: AARP takes in more than half of its $1.1 billion budget in royalty fees from health insurers and other vendors that market services with the organization’s name. Medicare supplementary policies, called “Medigap” plans, are the largest share of this revenue. AARP has an interest in selling more Medigap plans. But there is a competitor on the block, that may provide better coverage at a lower cost. A growing number of seniors are enrolling in a new form of Medicare coverage – Medicare Advantage. With Medicare Advantage they don’t need Medigap.
Medicare Advantage, created in 2003, gives seniors the option of joining private plans that provide better health benefits than traditional Medicare. These private plans compete with each other by offering seniors lower premiums, better prescription coverage, dental and vision care, and more comprehensive coverage for major medical expenses. Almost 11 million of Medicare’s 45-million beneficiaries are in Medicare Advantage.
Oh… did you know… the Democrats, having demonized the insurance companies as greedy profit-mongers, have given a plump treat to those ”greedy insurance companies” – immunity from lawsuits. How sweet is that? And I ask, put on your thinking cap and think really hard about what you may have heard about insurance companies.
Wake up seniors before it is too late… I fear, it may already be! I dare say, wake up Americans! It seems our elected leaders are in the pocket of very large multinational corporations. And are more than willing to provide every advantage to these corporations to the detriment of you, the American citizen.

‘Desecrated flag’ video is DNC finalist – Jonathan Allen – POLITICO.com
Par for the course for the party that is the anti-thesis of liberty!
A simple truth: For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: 2 Thessalonians 3:10-11 If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies
The simple truth here is good both ways… if you don’t want to work, you will not eat! That will eventually come true.
You see, truth is always true. Platitudes, however, are sinister and are often cloaked in propaganda. Repeat the story long enough and people believe it as fact. But that doesn’t make it true. The truth here… if you do not work for it, you cannot have it, neither do you deserve it!

Invoking a Dead Kennedy
The shameless liberals are at it already
Ted Kennedy has not been in his grave for 24 hours yet and already John Kerry, the JFK wannabe, is saying that we should hurry up and pass this bill because Ted wanted it passed.
What is it about a dead Ted Kennedy that imbues a really bad idea with virtue and light. Since Ted is dead, does that mean that the huge beauracracy will be funded by something other than taxes stolen from hard working Americans? Possibly it means that the unions and liberal organizations like ACORN will no longer have taxpayer funding for their pension plans (pg 65)? Will page 50 go away? This is where ALL non US citizens (legal or otherwise) will get free healthcare. Continue reading »
