No Mandate! No Rationing! No “Vapor Bill!” No Budget "Reconciliation”!

What must be stopped?
1. Individual mandate to buy health insurance.
· Government will tax and fine you if you don’t buy what you are told to buy: overpriced, government-created, politicized health insurance. You could spend a year in jail if you don’t buy it!
· Premiums will go up, not down. Insurance companies will get guaranteed profits and will be given government rationing powers.
· This model has failed in Massachusetts since 2006 (premiums up; rationing boards; longer waits for doctors; increased taxes, 2.6% uncovered).
2. Government Rationing Committees.
· 15 senior level government bureaucrats are already appointed to determine what medical services would be authorized (created in “stimulus bill”). (Comparative Effectiveness panel – no actively practicing doctor on panel).
· Another 15 member panel (IMAC) will decide what would be paid for – will be given congressional powers of spending and will ration care.
3. Doctors and hospitals will be placed on a budget – for your medical spending.
· A one size fits all budget will be created for your medical care.
· Hospitals and doctors will make more money if they let less money be spent on you.
· Doctors that WANT to spend more money on you will be punished.
4. “Budget Reconciliation” and “Vapor Bill”
· The Senate would use only 51 votes to ram through a takeover of the largest sector of the American economy in history! 60 votes is the standard.
· Tell them not to attach the bill as an amendment to a TARP or other bill – the “vapor bill” is a dirty trick.

Patriots:
One of our messages over the next week needs to be No Vote for Cloture.
This means that if we can get one Senator of 60 not to vote for cloture, we can kill the bill! We have learned from one health care expert, there are 13 Senators that we have the possibility of turning and voting NO! Of these 13 Senators, two are up for reelection in 2010. The time has come for us to target and pressure these 13 Senators!
Will you do your part to help convince them that this government takeover of health care is not good for the American people? You can do your part and stand shoulder to shoulder with other Patriots this week by applying pressure to these 13 Senators.
We have made this easy for you. We have broken the country into five regions and the 13 Senators into five groups. Each day, you call and email the group of Senators that is assigned to your region of the country. This way, all 13 Senators will have a constant barrage of calls and emails all week. We need to make sure they feel the pressure daily.
All of the contact information is listed below the chart. It has been highly recommended that we target the Senators' local district offices when calling, as the local offices are not used to getting pressure like the DC offices. When making your calls and sending your emails, please be sure to make four simple points:
- No Government Takeover of Health Care
- No Public Option
- No Mandates
- No Vote for Cloture
Also, please email the Chief of Staff for each Senator!

South West (Mon/5, Tues/1, Wed/2, Thur/3, Fri/4)
Of course, you can always do more and call more than just the one group assigned to your region that day! If you want to call more, I would suggest calling and emailing the Senators in group number one because these are the ones that are up for reelection in 2010.
If you want to do even more, please focus on the Senate Finance Committee.
One last point, when calling a Senator' office from another state, you can tell them that their vote will effect all Americans. You can also let them know you will be happy to contribute to the campaign of their opponent the next time they are up for reelection!
Thanks for all you are doing to save our great capitalist society!
Together we can Kill This Bill!
