August 3, 2009
This footage is following the Health Care Reform Forum with Congressman Steve Driehaus (D-OH).
During the forum, the crowd (which had a large percentage of tea-party conservatives) constantly interrupted Driehaus and shouted over his remarks and his answers to the questions that were asked. Following the forum, there were chants both inside the church and outside of “Vote for Chabot!” which is a reference to politician Steve Chabot whom Driehaus defeated in 2008 and who he will again face in 2010.

Health Insurance the public option
August 192009
A vote for a public insurance option is a vote against the current distribution of wealth within society.
Not withstanding the current public options and without looking to detract from or support those options. We can see a clear difference between what is publicly funded today and the public funding of health insurance.
Health Insurance vrs Public Roads
No one is saying, or at least Im not saying, we should not pay taxes. Nor am I saying taxes are bad and the government should have zero jurisdiction outside the of military.
The Interstate Highway System was funded with 90% federal funds from the Highway Trust Fund (stocked with motorist fuel and excise taxes) and 10% state DOT funds.
Health Insurance vrs Public Education
9000 PER STUDENT
270000 for 30 students
45000 in total teacher compensation
28500 in curriculum ($950 per student)
14400 in mortgage and lease
2930 per year, per student
245 per person, per month
Health Insurance vrs U.S. Postal Service
The U.S. Postal Service “The independent government agency relies on postage and fees to fund operations. Though it has? a monopoly on delivering the mail, the USPS faces competition for services such as package delivery.” answers . com/topic/united-states-postal -service.
No one is forced to pay for postal service and this service does not increase the cost of mail delivery. Health Insurance does increase the costs of Health Coverage for everyone including the uninsured, which is unjust.
Health Insurance vrs Personal Responsibility
We eating foods that are killing us quicker than our reason of strength.
Access to health care should come from wages and sustainable wages should be paid by every employer.
I am all for the government legislating a meaningful minimum wage applicable to all business owners. The governments role is to secure the right of individuals to do good. Individuals can not do good if they can not pay for the services they need.
Thats no solution thats extortion
“But exchanges are not necessarily free. Many are coerced. If a robber threatens you with, Your money or your life, your payment to him is coerced and not voluntary, and he benefits at your expense. It is robbery, not free markets, that actually follows the mercantilist model: the robber benefits at the expense of the coerced. Exploitation occurs not in the free market, but where the coercer exploits his victim.” http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/FreeMarket.html
Your not driving innovation your driving profits
Don’t leave the president alone in the White House. Pray for him and all those in leadership that we might live quite peaceable lives in all godliness and honesty.

Obama Falsely Claims AARP Endorses His Heath Care Plan
August 192009
President Obama today suggested that the health care reform legislation for which hes pushing has been endorsed by the American ociation of Retired Person.
We have the AARP on board because they know this is a good deal for our seniors, the president said.
At another point he said: Well, first of all, another myth that we’ve been hearing about is this notion that somehow we’re going to be cutting your Medicare benefits. We are not. AARP would not be endorsing a bill if it was undermining Medicare, okay?
The problem?
The AARP hasn’t endorsed any plan yet.
The country’s largest advocacy group for Americans over 50 issued a statement after the event saying, “While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate.”

Obama said at a nationally televised news conference that he backed adding such a panel to health care reform legislation. He said the panel would make recommendations requiring approval by Congress.
