The Floodgates Are Opening Wide - Hold On Tight To What You Believe In!

In an email from my Ohio congressional representative, Charlie Wilson, I felt beneath my feet, as if standing on a sandy beach, more of the foundation of what makes 'America the Beautiful', beautiful, being stripped away by the riptide known as 'change' - a.k.a. socialism/fascism. And, I wonder, how soon before all of what we know to be Godly, good, and righteous about America is washed away and lost in this ungodly sea of change.

Following is a copy of the email I received... I cannot believe the jubilant tone in which it is written. This would be to me like a happy diddy being pumped through the sound system of an out of control, free-falling elevator plummeting to a certain doom.

Dear Friends,

This week I proudly joined a majority in the House of Representatives in support of the final version of bipartisan legislation to provide health care to 11 million children in modest-income families. The State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) Reauthorization Act was approved by a vote of 290-135. President Obama signed the bill into law immediately afterward.

I have fought for this legislation since coming to Congress in 2007. This is the same legislation that President Bush vetoed twice in the last Congress. I am so pleased that, at last, we can expand health coverage for our children.

This is one step closer to being able to provide every child in our nation with affordable, high-quality health care. By improving the health of children we’ll improve their chance for success. In addition, we’ll reduce the much more expensive use of emergency rooms for primary care. That's just good common sense.

The State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) was created in 1997 to provide health care coverage for children in families that earn too little to afford health insurance for their children themselves but too much to qualify for Medicaid. This bill will give states the resources and incentives necessary to reach and cover millions of uninsured children who are currently eligible for, but not enrolled in, SCHIP and Medicaid.

This bipartisan bill reauthorizes the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) through FY 2013. It preserves the coverage for all 7.1 million children currently covered by SCHIP, including preserving the coverage of 231,538 children in Ohio. It also provides coverage for 4.1 million uninsured children who are currently eligible for, but not enrolled in, SCHIP and Medicaid, including up to 119,000 children in Ohio.

In our current economic situation, with rising unemployment, this children’s health bill is critical. With parents losing employer-sponsored health care for their children, the need for this common sense legislation grows every day.

Sincerely,


Charlie Wilson
Member of Congress
Ohio's Sixth District

The man is possibly insane. This bill will destroy the American health insurance industry. Only the elite, such as politicians, will get top-shelf health care while the rest of us will have to settle with 2nd rate, delayed, and/or denied health care (have a look at Canada's and Europe's socialistic health programs - in absolute shambles).

Politicians are out of touch with America. They earn too much money, are in office too long, are insulated from the poor decisions they are making - such as, health care... they have wonderful health insurance coverage which will not be affected by the downgrading of health care for the average American because of their bad legislation, and are pushing Americans to the edge of revolt with the increased tax burdens, fascist-like legislative action, and immoral life-destroying decisions - abortion is murder! ... and, now thanks to Obama our tax money is now funding the baby butchering industry by the billions and worldwide!

This will stop. We are Americans.
