Send Email to Congress: NO to Government-Run Health Care
http://www.rallycongress.com/freedomworks/2365/

   
Senator Coburn and Congressman Fleming are both physicians. Regardless of your political beliefs, it sure seems reasonable that Congress should have exactly the same medical coverage that they impose on the rest of us. Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!

1. The Senate will likely begin debate on the ObamaCare bill in two to three weeks. We need to work on a handful of Democrats who can be persuaded to vote against the bill. Here is our target list: Call them and tell them you are against Obamacare, Cap & Trade, and all socialist programs. Please, hold your ground against all forms of socialism and do not give an inch.

We need to put maximum pressure on these Senators to vote against "cloture" on the health care bill. Cloture requires 60 votes to advance a bill and it's the only real test in this debate. Any Senator who votes for cloture is voting for ObamaCare, period.

H1N1 Prevention

Dr. Vinay Goyal is an MBBS,DRM,DNB (Intensivist and Thyroid specialist), having clinical experience of over 20 years. He has worked in institutions like Hinduja Hospital , Bombay Hospital , Saifee Hospital , Tata Memorial, etc. Presently, he is heading our Nuclear Medicine Department and Thyroid clinic at Riddhivinayak Cardiac and Critical Centre, Malad (W).  

   The following message given by him; I feel it makes a lot of sense and is important for all to know 

   The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat.  In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible not coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions.  Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is. 

   While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu): 

    1.  Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications). 
   
   2.  "Hands-off-the-face" approach.  Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap). 
     
    3.  *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt).  *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms.  Simple gargling prevents proliferation.  In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one.  Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method. 

   4.  Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water.  *Not everybody may be good at using a Neti pot, but *blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton swabs dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.* 

   
   5.  *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C.  *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption. 

   6.  *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can.  *Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction.  They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.

 

In case you're interested, the 'mix' for salt water nasal bath is 1/8 tsp table salt in 1 cup warm water.  Gargle can contain a little more salt.

THE COST TO TAXPAYERS IS STAGGERING AS CONGRESS KEEPS ADDING BENEFITS FOR IMMIGRANTS . . . ONE PROVISION COULD COST UP TO $30 BILLION ANNUALLY! 

The price tag for proposed health care reform just keeps going up... as Congress packs in provisions to America's Affordable Health Choices Act (H.R. 3200), to allow both legal immigrants and illegal aliens to receive health care benefits that will place a heavy burden on American taxpayers.

FAIR WANTS ALL AMERICANS TO BE INFORMED ABOUT THESE PROVISIONS:

SECTION 246: The Loophole for Illegal Aliens . . .

The estimated cost of the loophole in the House bill, H.R. 3200, which will allow illegal aliens to receive taxpayer-funded health benefits, could cost $30 BILLION ANNUALLY, according to a study from the Center for Immigration Studies. Read the details

SECTION 246(d): An Overlooked-and Expensive-Provision . . .

Overlooked in the current debate, however, is another provision in the House bill that reverses an important policy regarding legal immigrants. Section 242(d) of the House bill will cost the American taxpayers at least $33.8 BILLION during the 2014-2019 budget period. Accordingly, the thirty-six words of Section 242(d) will cost the American taxpayers nearly $1 BILLION PER WORD! Read the report.

This provision waives the current 5-year waiting period for health care services for legal immigrants, the greatest number of which are admitted as lawful permanent residents. This means that legal immigrants can, rather than waiting to apply for public benefits, begin collecting the affordability credit immediately upon their arrival in the U.S. This provision will be costly to the American people and undoes one of the major reforms contained in the Welfare Reform law enacted in 1996. Read the details in FAIR's Legislative Analysis.

New Provisions: Why Not Give Illegal Aliens Access to Health Coverage?

But some members of Congress aren't satisfied yet . . . They want to add provisions THAT SPECIFICALLY GUARANTEE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE COVERAGE FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS!

ObamaCare will make criminals of non-participants, ration care to seniors 

Contact your U.S. senators today!

According to a healthcare expert, the health care plan currently being debated in the United States Senate (America's Healthy Future Act) will fine Americans up to $1,900 if they do not purchase health insurance, and if they refuse to pay the fine, they can be thrown in jail for a year or fined $25,000. And the IRS would be the government agency coming after you to collect. Dennis Smith is a senior fellow in healthcare reform at The Heritage Foundation's Center for Health Policy Studies. He says that penalty is just one of the many "hidden, unknown consequences" in the legislation. (Baucus' proposal contains 'hidden consequences')

The plan will also force severe rationing of health care to seniors by penalizing the 10% of doctors who submit the most in reimbursements to Medicare. This inevitably will pressure doctors to prescribe fewer and cheaper treatments just to avoid being the one doctor in 10 whose pay will be docked.
Since there will be a top 10% every year, doctors are likely to severely restrict treatment anywhere and everywhere they can, because they will have no way of knowing where the threshold is.

The bottom line is that ObamaCare will send folks who can't afford insurance to jail and will result in rationing of care to seniors. That makes it bad for Americans of all ages.
