Suggested Discussion Topics

Washington politicians are trying to get their hands on your health care! Call Congress today and tell them you oppose government-run health care.

1) Better done right, than done fast. Reforming one-sixth of our economy should not be done without careful consideration of the consequences. This is not the time to advance political goals through backroom deals and legislative gimmicks like cloture. Any vote to move the current legislation through Congress is a vote to support government run health care.

2.) Meaningful health care reform should put patients before politics. Under current proposals:

-New layers of bureaucracy will come between you and your physician.

-Millions of seniors will lose their Medicare Advantage coverage as Washington politicians seek funding to cover the uninsured. Pitting one group of tax payers against another is not reform – it’s Washington politics at its worst.

-Under proposed government-forced insurance those without health insurance could be fined and possibly even put in jail.

3) Government-run health care legislation pose serious risks to an already weak economy. Congress is considering tax increases and massive spending increases for new entitlements that do little to control health care costs for middle class and do nothing to improve quality of care.

-Cost estimates are between $900 million to $1.5 trillion. That can’t possibly be revenue neutral.

-The non-partisan Congressional budget office estimates the House bill will increase deficits by $239 billion over 10 years.

-Job creating small businesses will be hit hard with new taxes regulations and fines under proposed legislation.

-The Congressional Budget Office has reported that wages will be lowered and unemployment will rise if these bills become law.

4) Medicare is the wrong model for health care reform. Washington run Medicare is on the verge of bankruptcy due to waste, fraud and abuse. This is hardly justification for expanding that power to cover another 90 million Americans.

5) Oppose any health care bill or proposal that puts Washington in charge of your health care.

Why not concentrate on fixing the issues already a mess. We can see how well it has worked for Canada?!?!?!? KEEP GOVENRNMENT OUT OF HEALTH CARE!!

  25. 3.16.2010
    Called both Wyden and Merkley's offices. Both parties were congenial and I implored them to vote AGAINST the Healthcare Reform Bill and to Support Israel, by all means.
    They said it was duly noted.
    Footnote: Here is Oregon we have a huge dilemma. In most gubernatorial races if you look on a map all of Oregon votes Red accept the metropolitan area of Portland and Eugene Oregon which are Blue. So, what we have here is a tiny heavily populated Blue area controllng the whole state of Oregon. They are truly NOT my voice.
    J.Walch, Lake Creek, Oregon
    My hold time for Wyden was exactly 3 minutes
    My call was received instantly at Merkley's #

  35. We don't want socialized health care. I want the right to choose the physician and the type of care that I get. The Obama plan will also give medical care to those that are not legal citizens of this country. I (a middle income person) am tired of paying for people who are here illegally. His plan will cause higher taxes. We don't need this right now. Our health care does need to be reformed, but not by rushing a bill in that many Congress men and women have not even read.
