We have seen the ugliest part of DC politics in this debate. Corruption, bribery, arm twisting, threats etc. The demos very obviously have something to hide and a lot to gain. All you need to do is follow the money. We know this is not about medicine, it is about control, power and money.
Tess your politician, you are tired of their corruption and lack of transparency, and more importantly, opt out of medicare NOW. Don't allow yourself to be part of this machine like the AMA has become. Opt for cash patients
This is a shameful redistribution of wealth move. Seniors, young, and poor will all pay the price. Many doctors will simply retire, others will cease to provide services for the Medicaid and even for Medicare patients, and I don't blame them. Senators and Congressman, this is not your personal money. You work for Americans.
HORRIBLE, UN-AMERICAN, DISASTEROUS! TYRANNICAL..TREASONESQUE....GREEDY....CORRUTION AT ITS WORST.....LIES....CHEATERS.....GANG STYLE.......CHICAGO CRIMINALS.......SNEAKS......MARXIST.......DICATATORSHIP.....
THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THIS WONDERFUL COUNTRY. OVER 60% OF AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE GOING TO REBEL AND THEY WILL OVERCOME THIS POWER GRAB THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION IS PULLING OFF BEHIND CLOSED DOORS AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT........SHAME SHAME SHAME........THIS WILL CAUSE A RECKONING AND CONGRESS WILL BE VOTED OUT OUT OUT.....PUT OUT TO PASTURE FOR THIS REPREHENSIBLE PILE OF CRAP THAT OUR IDIOTS IN THE GOVT. ARE EXERCISING ....THE PERPETRATION OF HUMUNGOUS BRIBES, DEALS AND WHATEVER OTHER ILLEGAL AND ILLICIT SPENDING OF OUR MONEY TO PUT THIS THROUGH. BOTTOM LINE, SOMEHOW, SOME WAY THIS SAMEFUL, DESTRUCTION OF THE USA WILL TURN AROUND SOME DAY AND THEY WILL HOPEFULLY GET A TASTE OF THEIR OWN TOXIC MEDICINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GOD BLESS AMERICAN
DOWN WITH TYRANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
