Healthcare Reform - "No gain, plenty of pain, on Day One"
Once again, I see the media at fault in that they are NOT publicizing the realities of the health care "reform" bill.
As described here, it can only be classified as "flim-flam" on the American voter.
Hopefully, come election time, our elected officials will be punished for their actions...

At NCtimes.com, Dick Morris describes the actions:
"The harshest of these backlashes will come from the elderly, who will face the rationing immediately.
The first 'no' will hit the 10 million elderly who now rely on Medicare Advantage to pay for the care Medicare itself does not cover. In a payoff to AARP, Obama gutted this program in his bill, ending over $100 billion in federal premium subsidies. These 10 million voters will get the grim news that their premiums are going up and their benefits dropping early in 2010. The goal, of course, is to force them to drop Medicare Advantage and sign up, instead, for Medi-gap insurance ---- offered, not coincidentally, by the AARP ---- which provides less coverage at higher cost.
Young people without health insurance can expect to start writing $750 annual checks to Washington to pay the fines written into the bill."
