Health Care threats

"This isn't about politics. This is about people's lives. This is about people's businesses. This is about our future. ” Barack:

I admire how our President ignores all doubters and gets done what needs to get done.

Threats was the storyline for today. About 10 House Representaives who supported the bill in the final vote were victims of telephone, email, property threats, and death threats. Reports to the FBI had to be made for security. U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello’s brother received a threatening letter in the mail on the same day that someone apparently severed a gas line at the home in Ivy. U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello, D-Ivy, this afternoon called for lawmakers to condemn acts of political violence after someone apparently slashed a gas line at his brother’s house in Albemarle County. The act came a day after conservative Tea Party activists posted the house’s address on the Internet. There was also a noose faxed to House Majority Whip James Clyburn's office. So yea it's really starting to heat up. I think this may only be the beginning if conservatives refuse to intervene. With poor leadership and no positive feelings about anything, expect to hear more and more about threats and vandalism.
As I was doing my usual afternoon channel surf, I ran across Glenn Beck he was playing with his pictures comparing the Health Care bill to getting spanked by your parents (Why is he still on television?) His views on what is going on are synonomous to the those who are getting stirred up and causing the fear in some that builds to aggravation. The strategic mind tricks aren't working anymore and control in some of the minds is completely lost. After having so much control for 8 years, I think some Conservatives don't know what it's like to have to work with other people on important issues. Working to restore some sense in America will not be an easy task, given the fact that we were practically rob of our cents for at least 1 term.

But Enough with all the Non Sense, Let's talk about what's in the bill:

• This YEAR, you will now have the security of knowing that insurers cannot deny coverage to your child because of a pre-existing condition. You won’t have to live every day in fear of having your insurance taken away from you if you get sick.
• Health insurance reform will limit what you have to pay out of pocket, a protection that does not exist today
  
• Health reform will require plans to use clear and plain language on insurance forms so that you can easily understand what benefits and what doctors are covered in your plan.


• If your insurance company spends too much of your premium dollars on overhead, such as big salaries, administrative costs and marketing, they will be required to give you a rebate.

In Minnesota:

• 282,000 residents could qualify for premium tax credits to help them purchase health coverage.


• Invests in the health primary care. Approximately 276,000 people, or 5 percent of Minnesota’s population, cannot access a primary care provider due to shortages in their communities.27 Health insurance reform will expand and improve programs to increase the number of health care providers, including doctors, nurses, and dentists, especially in rural and other underserved areas.
  

And today begins with the bill going back to the House for another vote. Stay Tuned! :)
