          Obama is coming back for Round 2 on the Health Care Debate. Experts are not sure
whether the Public Options is on or off the table. This seems to be the real dividing line between
Congressman and the public.

          Blue Dogs say they will not accept the Public Option
but reconize reform is necessary. What type and how much will be debated. The Democrats on the far left
say they are pusing for the Public Option no matter what. They argue that is the point of Reform. />
          The Republicans are pushing hard for their own reform measures. While keeping the
structure in the hands of the private sector, they agree also that some reform would be good.
/>          Most of the agreement stems around waiving preexisting conditions, extending the time
line on COBRA benefits, guarantee issue of both group and individual health insurance and some tax reform
measures.

No Public Option...

2009.08.18 12:40:57

What is the Public Option? This is where the Government takes over your choice of
health insurance and the benefits that you qualify for. It would also give the Government control over the
Health Care system.

Many regular Americans have cried out in opposition to
the Government run system. They have been called everything from extremist to people who are misinformed.
The American people have had enough.

Over 85% of people are happy with
their private insurance. They don't want to be told what to do, who to see and what is covered and what is
not. They don't want to have Government officials involved with end of care choices. It is hard enough
when a parent or spouse has to make very tough decisions, but at least today these are your
options.

With all of this said, some reform in our current system would be
beneficial. Extended COBRA options, guarantee issue of both group and individual coverage, waiver of pre-x
for those who stay covered from job to job, etc. There is room for improvement in our current
system.

What Are The True Costs?

2009.08.10 20:05:16

Obama and the Legislature seem to
think that by adding nearly 2 trillion dollars to health care they are going to save money. The only way
they can do this is by reducing care. Seemingly every committee in the House and Senate have had there go
of it.

Around and around they go,
but no one has a plan that saves money. When asked about their health insurance and their care, over 90% of
Americans are very happy with what they have. After all, what they have is choice, there own
choice.

We hear of people unable
to get coverage or preexisting issues with current Employer sponsored coverage. In Florida, this has not
been an issue since Governor Chiles passed Small Group Reform. These mandates are much simpler and more cost
effective that a total revamp of a system most are satisfied with.

''Town Hall''

2009.08.07 17:32:23

Many Americans are taking to the streets and community centers across
the country to talk health care. The message that is being repeated is, ''just say no.'' We don't need
more Government, higher taxes or Medicaid type health insurance.

While Medicaid and
Medicare are running out of money, the White House seeks to reform health care in a similar fashion. America
is waking up and Obama's policies are getting a thumbs down.

Several Congressman
have asked the other Senators if they too want to be covered by this mandated Government plan. Most of them
would rather keep their free publically paid for Blue Cross plans.
