Forwarded. Another case where
BO & his crew are trying to BS
the troops (both civilian & military).
Contact your Senators & Members
of the House. Enough is enough.

                               Daily Update on the Dangers of 
Government-Run Health Care

                               Failed CLASS Act Must Be Stopped
                               This week, the House is scheduled to vote on 
a bill that would repeal the CLASS Act-an act that even the Administration 
concluded has "no viable path forward" towards implementation.  Since 
participation is voluntary, it could not figure out a way to guarantee the 
program would be fiscally sound for 75 years without taxpayer bailouts, a 
requirement that Sen. Judd Gregg managed to get into the health law.  The 
fundamental flaw within the Act is that the math simply doesn't add up: 
allow people to pay just $300 over 5 years for coverage while receiving 
$18,000 per year in benefits and our health care system will be more 
bankrupt than ever before.  Unfortunately, the President has threatened to 
veto any plans to repeal CLASS, regardless.  Forbes

                               Without question, our country is in 
desperate need of Medicare reform.  Unfortunately, ObamaCare goes about 
reform by destroying the system altogether and sweeping the remaining pieces 
under the rug.  According to the Heritage Foundation, Obamacare contains 
more than 160 provisions for Medicare that increase government's control 
over the delivery of care, hit doctors with unsustainable payment cuts, and 
leave taxpayers with higher deficits.  It also expands central planning and 
tightens price controls on providers-two tired old ways of attempting the 
reform Medicare that have a 0% success rate.  Finally, on top of severe 
payment cuts facing physicians, the law weakens the doctor-patient 
relationship by linking payment not to patient outcomes but to adherence to 
government protocol. For more practical ways to go about Medicare reform,
