Educating > Healthcare

    Let  me get this straight. We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are  forced  to purchase and fined if we don't, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president who  also smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief  who didn't  pay his  taxes, to be  overseen by  a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by  a country  that's broke.

What  the hell could go wrong.

Yes On Florida Amendment 9 - Preserve Healthcare Freedom

YES ON 9 Campaign Applauds Attorney General's Defense of Amendment 9 ~AG McCollum Defends Floridians' Right to Preserve Healthcare Freedom in Florida Constitution~

For Immediate Release

June 29, 2010        

(Orlando, FL - June 29, 2010)-The YES ON 9 Campaign applauded Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum today for his decision to defend the Amendment against a lawsuit that attempts to block it from the November ballot.  Amendment 9 seeks to protect Floridians' right to choose their own healthcare by placing that right in the state's Constitution.

"Florida's Constitution is a sacred document that outlines the liberties, freedoms, and fundamental rights of Floridians," said Rep. Scott Plakon (R-Longwood.)  "By defending the right of voters to place healthcare freedom in the Constitution, Attorney General McCollum is upholding a right that Floridians and people across the nation continue to demand in the face of big-government mandates."

Amendment 9, which has already been vetted by the Florida House and Senate and approved for the ballot according to Article XI and statutory procedure, unequivocally states that no government can mandate a Floridian's participation in a government healthcare scheme against his or her will.

Under the leadership of Sen. Carey Baker (R-Eustis) and Rep. Plakon, the Florida Legislature approved the amendment and it now has over 4,000 citizen co-sponsors.

"Amendment 9 has already won broad-based support across Florida, reflecting the people's deep distrust of the federal government's healthcare plan," said Sen. Baker. "Small businesses, grassroots volunteers, medical professionals, and everyday Floridians continue to express their support for healthcare freedom, and we are grateful for Attorney General McCollum's efforts to ensure that they will have the right to preserve this fundamental right in our Constitution."

Attorney Mark Herron and Democrat operatives with ties to Organizing for America, MoveOn.org, and other liberal special interest groups filed the lawsuit on Friday.

FORIDA HEALTH CARE FREEDOM ACT Passed the House and Senate. It will be on the ballot in November. We need 60% of Floridians to pass it and become part of our state constitiution.

Nullification
Here at the Tenth Amendment Center we have released model legislation for you to give to your state reps to demand that they stand with you and refuse to comply with unconstitutional acts from Washington D.C. Our latest? The Federal Health Care Nullification Act.

This Act is not over 1000 pages. It's not 500 pages. It's not a dozen, or even two. It's one single page to nullify now.

Here's a majority of what it says:

    The Legislature of the State of _______________ declares that the federal law known as the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act," signed by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010, is not authorized by the Constitution of the United States and violates its true meaning and intent as given by the Founders and Ratifiers, and is hereby declared to be invalid in this state, shall not be recognized by this state, is specifically rejected by this state, and shall be considered null and void and of no effect in this state.

And it adds some much-needed 'teeth' too:

    Any official, agent, or employee of the United States government or any employee of a corporation providing services to the United States government that enforces or attempts to enforce an act, order, law, statute, rule or regulation of the government of the United States in violation of this act shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction must be punished by a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), or a term of imprisonment not exceeding five (5) years, or both.

They want to fine us or put us in jail for not buying insurance from some corporation. What's next – fining us for not buying a Chevy? Well, it's time that we turn this thing around – and in the federal health care nullification act – we fine THEM for violating our rights!

Obama in 2003 supporting a Single Payer Health Plan.
We report it, you decide for yourself.

"There are those who will try and scuttle this opportunity no matter what, who will use the same scare tactics and fear-mongering that's worked in the past, that will give warnings about socialized medicine and government takeovers, long lines and rationed care, decisions made by bureaucrats and not doctors. We have heard this all before. And because these fear tactics have worked, things have kept getting worse... Let me also say that - let me also address an illegitimate concern that's being put forward by those who are claiming that a public option is somehow a Trojan horse for a single-payer system. I'll be honest; there are countries where a single-payer system works pretty well. But I believe ... that it's important for our reform efforts to build on our traditions here in the United States. So when you hear the naysayers claim that I'm trying to bring about government-run health care, know this: They're not telling the truth." - Barack Obama

Below is various information that is coming out about our new Government takeover of the health care industry.
- please send any information you have to add to the archives

Title IX Revenue Provisions—Subtitle A:  Revenue Offset
"(Sec. 9002) Requires employers to include in the W-2 form of each employee
the aggregate cost of applicable employer-sponsored group health coverage
that is excludable from the employee's gross income (excluding the value of
contributions to flexible spending arrangements)."
 
  Starting in 2011—next year—the W-2 tax form sent by your employer will be
increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are provided.  
It doesn't matter if you're retired. Your gross income WILL go up by the amount
of insurance your employer paid for. So you'll be required to pay taxes on a larger
sum of money that you actually received. Take the tax form you just finished for
2009 and see what $15,000.00 or $20,000.00 additional gross income does to
your tax debt. That's what you'll pay next year. For many it puts you into a
much higher bracket. This is how the government is going to buy insurance for
fifteen (15) percent that don't have insurance and it's only part of the tax increases,
but it's not really a "tax increase" as such, it a redefinition of your taxable income.
 
Also, go to Kiplinger's and read about the thirteen (13) tax changes for 2010 that
could affect you.
 
Why am I sending you this? The same reason I hope you forward this to every
single person in your address book. People have the right to know the truth because
an election is coming in November. So vote intelligently, based on your values.  
But also adjust your tax withholding, or increase your savings, so that you aren't
surprised and put in a jam when your federal income taxes are due on April 15, 2012.
 
Fight organized crime!  Re-elect no one.
