With the healthcare destruction bill of 2010 nearing a somewhat illegal voting procedure, responsible citizens have taken to the phones in an effort to ensure this reckless, do nothing legislation dies the slow and painful death it deserves.
House phone lines were nearing capacity on Tuesday as conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh encouraged fans to call in their objections on healthcare legislation. The office of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) sent out a system-wide advisory to member offices at 2 p.m. Tuesday, warning them of the dramatic increase in traffic.
“Our phone system is nearing capacity,” said Jeff Ventura, spokesman for the CAO. “It got critical enough whereby we notified all systems’ administrators throughout the House that the phone systems are overloading.”
It is imperative that the back-door tactics of these socialist lemmings fails at every turn. First, the senate was looking to pass it with 60 votes, like it should. Then that strategy went the way of the ‘closing Gitmo’ argument and the Dems, including America’s mistake, decided to derail the process and begin a procedure known as the ‘nuclear option.’ Obama was adamant that the ‘nuclear option’ was not acceptable, but in recent weeks has become silent on the issue, showing his true, rudderless, leaderless ineptitude.
“Unlike computers, which can be scaled to accommodate something like this in real time, phone lines are hard-wired, so you have your capacity and once the capacity is full, you’re going to get the good old-fashioned busy signal,” he said. “And that’s what’s happening.”
This bill does absolutely nothing to change the skyrocketing cost of health insurance. Sure, the libs will beat you over the head with their ‘blame it on corporate greed!’ mantra, but there is ONE key fact about health insurance costs that seems to be missing from this massive overhaul:
Tort reform. Runaway, encouraged, and rampant litigation by opportunistic thieving law firms has driven up costs that doctors and hospitals have to pay for malpractice insurance. In Phoenix, doctor's pay $50k - $90k per year for this insurance… just to cover their ass in case of a lawsuit filed on behalf of a slimy lawyer looking to make his next house payment. And who pays the extra for that? Well, you do. They raise their fees to accommodate this humongous burden.
Another heavy cost to insurance companies are the tons of unnecessary tests that are ordered for patients. Doctor’s do this so that they cover ALL the bases, no matter how small the problem. That way, if they are sued they can show they checked for everything they should have… and then some!
I guess having the trial lawyers in the pocket of the libs made sure that there was nothing in here that would dare take a penny away from their nefarious livelihood. I also notice that the uber-taxation of Cadillac health plans is missing for union workers! Am I the only one outraged over this phony ‘government takeover in disguise’ bill? Obviously not, because the phone lines and emails to those that are supposed to represent us is growing larger than the Obama-nation debt!
