More Smoke n Mirrors - S 1776

C&P from Redstate.Com blog..

Quote:

Even the media is reporting this is a bribe. Harry Reid will pay off the doctors' lobby and in exchange the doctors lobby will support Obamacare.

The strategy is simple. Payoff the docs, make your bill appear to cost less, and force Republicans to choose between their doctors and the fiscal health of the nation.

This week the Senate is considering its next payoff to a powerful lobbying group—a $247 billion package for the American Medical Association. The funding is not offset and would dramatically increase the deficit.

Look it up S.1776 ... This is transparency?????

Isn't it amazing that Obama is doing everything he said he not have in HIS administration, and is not doing anything he said he WOULD?

We are still in Guantanamo, still in Iraq, haven't paid real attention to the correct war in Afghanistan, have record unemployment, the economy is getting worse, lobbyists all over Washington and in his cabinet, no transparency, not posting of the bills online and now he's personally engaged in a fight against the ONLY network that has dared to criticize him. If this wasn't so serious it would perfect for a third world comedy routine!

He's become the tin-horn banana republic dictator of the world's most powerful nation. Try thinking that's a great combination!

Didn't I just hear that Congress cleared the way for the Gitmo detainees to come to US soil???

Please send them to a highly concentrated area of bleeding heart liberals and keep them the heck out of my back yard.

Any comment from those who supported and voted for Obama??? He has not delivered on many ( most) of his campaign promises..he looks like Bush lite from my house.

Obama is an empty suit with no substance.

No comments from is supporters because most can and will only avoid the facts and try to pretend we, the conservatives, are out of line or misinformed.

Perhaps they too are tiring of that strategy and so simply don't comment at all on threads like this? We can only hope...

I like the way MaddyOO thinks

Being a medical provider I have been getting info from my professional organization that if 1776 isn't passed then the 21% decrease in medicare payments to physicians (providers) will go into effect in Jan. If that takes effect- there will be a whole lot of seniors that will be losing their MDs/providers. So I guess someone will pull another last minute stop gap measure to stop the decrease. So it will be interesting to see what happens next.

Maddy00 · 10-21-2009, 04:38 PM

Do you think this payoff of doctors is the way to go? Can you cite a link to dispute that info?

What about this bill and the tactics they're using? Thoughts?
