Kirk Spano The White House: Hello Sir
I presume none of this is new to you, but I thought I would write as I influence around a hundred, maybe two hundred votes per election and I am a strong supporter. Leo Hindery http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/article/366443/Election-09%3A-Obamas-%22Misguided%22-Agenda-Doomed-Dems%2C-Former-Advisor-Says ...Healthcare has been drawn out too long, made too complicated and is being influenced by too many interests. Here are my very simple suggestions which I have partially emailed to Senator Kohl (now posted on my site). Mandatory open enrollment one month per year for all health insurance plans.
Government backstops at $2 million of claims made by any individual, matched dollar for dollar by a fund that insurance companies proportionately based on market share contribute to.
Create a subsidized tier for working low income in Medicaid.
Mandate that all people be in a health insurance plan, or they are automatically enrolled in Medicaid and pay premiums based on income to a certain level, and a penalty amount if they are over a certain income.
Mandatory use of DRG coding- even if reimbursements differ- at all levels of healthcare to facilitate processing across different platforms and regulatory oversight.
Standardized forms across the industry.
Expand systems and mandate that healthcare providers use an information sharing system for patients.
Health insurance, pharma, biotech, medical device, hospital holding companies... are not allowed to pay dividends. This would force reinvestment and put a light on corporate executive pay as people would pay more attention to where earnings were spent if they weren't getting their check. Doing this is as close to bringing back the not for profit model that worked pre 1980s, as I think we can get. Cap and trade is baloney. We all know it will be inefficient and get skimmed. Please listen to these people at the EPA. http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/02/epa-lawyers-challenge-cap-and-trade-for-climate/ Let’s get to rebuild the grid, highways and mandate conversion of all municipal buses to natural gas within a few years (easy to fuel at a station). I want to support this admin going forward, but I, like many others are losing the faith. Understand, after GWB there isn’t much faith left, regardless of who is in the chair. Cordially, Kirk Spano www.KirkSpano.com

He is working hard to take it away from us. tell me where it is right for the govt to force me to buy health care. it is unconstitional to force some to buy something they don't want. do you really want to stand in for medications or have to wait 1-4 hours in the emergency room or even for the doctor. check out massachusetts' health care system. ... See Moreyou will see that there premiums are off the charts. they raised taxes and premiums to help cover costs. they have even cut services to people because it is costing to much. this exactly what will happen to a national health care. http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2009/03/02/mass_healthcare_reform_is_failing_us/

Insurance companies are businesses. The outcome of the business: they take your money without providing a service.

Where does the money go? It goes to employee people to take your money, rent buildings for the people to work in, supplying these people with computer systems to facilitate taking your money and the rest goes to their Profit Margin.

What does the public gain by having insurance? Nothing that would not be satisfied by putting your money into a savings account.... See More

Get rid of insurance companies. Do not force these middle men on the people. Find another way to get political gain that does not take the ability for people to get healthcare away. After I pay for insurance, I do not have money left to pay the deductible. The insurance costs me 2-3 times what I would spend on Healthcare without insurance.

This Bill is forcing people to spend money that they do not have on middle men who will give them nothing.

As we see this retrogressive economic policies of our government has the thought come across to you yet as to just who's going to pay for all this and how. So far it looks like on the health reform bill it's only going to cost you massive tax increases and most of you freedom. Small price to pay right? Let's slow down just a bit to think for a ... See Moremoment, Why was it so simple to write up the Constitution Of The United States that govern this nation, Here's the kicker and time to think! How many pages does it take to run a country? Now we come to a health reform bill written with so much double talk and loop holes to confuse even the best of scholars let alone senator's and congressman, Op's another mind buster here! How many pages to keep everyone confused on the health bill and it's cost? Now that we've taken a moment to think has it occurred yet where I'm coming from. Were looking at the most horrific, damaging bill's being shoved down our throat by our self serving egotistical left wing liberal president. Were looking at a 10.2% unemployment status and do we worry about it? No we shove through a health bill that will close a large number of small Mom & Pop businesses along with other small businesses from the massive cost jumps, The very people Obama claims to want rebuild our economy. Are We getting the big picture now because when these small businesses are gone and all left standing is big government run business so will all your freedom be lost too.

November 09, 2009 6:30 PM

“What I think is appropriate is that in the same way that everybody has to get auto insurance and if you don't, you're subject to some penalty, that in this situation, if you have the ability to buy insurance, it's affordable and you choose not to do so, forcing you and me and everybody else to subsidize you, you know, there's a thousand dollar hidden tax that families all across America are -- are burdened by because of the fact that people don't have health insurance, you know, there's nothing wrong with a penalty.”...

The difference is that I choose to enjoy the privilege to drive a car. If the above statement was true, why are illegal aliens exempt from the Medical Insurance Mandated ? To add penalties is violating the rule of contracts. You can stretch the commerce clause inside and out, but Mr. President what you are doing is un-constitutional. As a former professor, you know better.

Americans value the capacity of a leader to produce results and their ability to stay in touch with the public's needs and concerns. Americans need to have confidence in the benevolent intentions and behavioral integrity of their leaders. People need to believe that it's not ego or desire for personal profit that's driving the leader, but rather a ... See Moregenuine interest in the welfare of others. Like it or not Mr Obama good intentions and sterling character aren't enough. People also need to perceive their leaders as competent at executing and fulfilling their mandates. This finding isn't all that surprising: If you are choosing a surgeon for a life-or-death operation, you want to know that individual genuinely has your best interests at heart, but you also want to be sure they are darn good at what they do. If either of these two qualities are lacking in leaders, overall trust goes down.
If you want the public to believe in your health bill try coming up with one that's not out to take away our civil rights and freedom. Mr Obama, Your actions with your health bill and the lack of action in the support of our troops is despicable at best. You as a leader is a sorry day in American history as all you show is your big headed ego as you try to capture space in the news. Try doing something to really help this nation by helping to save jobs in this country along with helping our troops in harms way and for God's sake quit apologizing to the world for us being Americans.

When is somebody going to call Nancy Pelosi out on here statements that people without medical insurance, that show up to the emergency room to be treated, are a burden on the tax payer? This is not entirely true. If you own your house and you don't pay your medical bill from the emergency room, they will take you to court and put a lien on your... See More ... Read Morehouse in order to collect. I have been to the emergency room many times without insurance, and the government has never paid my bill. They will work out a payment plan with you, and if you don't honor that plan, they will take you to court to get paid. The only people that get away with not paying are people that have nothing for collateral. We already pay for the poor through medicaide. The illegals get treated without concern for payment. But if you own your home, one way or another, they collect their money from you. So why would Nancy Pelosi threaten fines and jail. It seems that the burden on healthcare is the poor and the illegals. What differece does it make if I don't have health insurance? I don't burden the government with my bills, yet Nancy Pelosi threatens me.

Look at www.nextrevolution.net & see that I was contacted by the US Chamber of Commerce about a 20 million job challenge. I responded with an idea I have which involves the trucking industry, & they don't bother to return email or calls. I drove truck for ten years, have been in freight brokerage for two years, the trucking industry is costing US billions of $ a year, 4000 Americans killed, & 80,000 injured in truck related accidents every year. I emailed the White House, US Chamber of Commerce, US Dept of Commerce, & my representative Walt Minnick with an idea that would save US billions, get US away from dependency on foreign oil, increase road, & food safety, reduce miles driven, dead head miles, reduce pollution, generate $ for infrastructure, & much more but I can't get a response?

Look at www.justice.org/violationsdatabase/ & you can see right from the FMCSA that there are over 28,000 motor carriers with over 200,000 trucks on the road with violations, conditional & unsatisfactory ratings. There are thousands of trucks sitting in areas with no loads, no trucks where there are loads, & trucks running all over the country less than half full. Thousands of carriers are going broke, have been since 2007 when fuel prices went to $4.70 a gallon, the first thing they do is neglect equipment maintenance, hire bad, & inexperienced drivers for low pay so as to stay in business. Motor carriers run their business into the dirt, get bad safety scores, can't get good loads, take cheap freight, drag honest carriers down because rates are brought down, & the entire industry is running on an outdated model which is killing US financially as well as literally. Bad carriers get new MC#s, two three, four or more & the FMCSA doesn't have a clue because they get them in other family member names.

Just two weeks ago C R England sent out an email because a load was hi-jacked held hostage, cost $4000 to get the load back, plus almost $1000 from the warehouse where it was dropped, & the FBI didn't have resources to investigate? Homeland Security should have been called in. I can show you numbers, carriers with more than one MC#. Companies like England won't use a carrier with a safety score over 75 but will use the same carriers if they get a new MC# because they are hanging the liability on the FMCSA! Obama is about to appoint Anne Ferro to administrator of the FMCSA & if not mistaken she may have been a lobbyist for the trucking industry, claiming how safe trucking is. I drove truck for ten years & can show you how log books are manipulated, the truth in the trucking industry, it's costing US billions, & lives while driving up insurance costs. Our representative passed seat belt laws to help keep insurance costs down, why not get control of this mess?... See More

The holidays are coming up, Americans will be dying for all the wrong reasons, reefers will fail resulting food poisoning, E. Coli, salmonella. The US Chamber of Commerce, US Dept of Commerce, our representatives, & Obama refuse to listen to one guy. Downsize has a lobby right, help me show these guys the problems, & how to fix the mess to save lives, billions of $, promote food safety, get the FMCSA in control of carriers, reduce miles, oil dependency, pollution, generate $ for infrastructure, & more.

My representatives don't listen so what good are they? We are in the same boat as 9/11, financial crisis, health care reform, warnings are there but I can't get anything done. Representatives line their own pockets, are in bed with campaign finance, ripped US off for trillions of $ through campaign finance, Social Security, the current financial crisis, health care, illegal immigration, & more.

These clowns had US fighting communism for years, millions of Americans died or were wounded, now they can't hand communist China this nation fast enough through free trade. Let me know, I can prove every word of this email through the FMCSA's own documentation & more. Add in www.opensecrets.org www.ewg.org www.pbs.org Frontline: The Warning All the facts are there, we need to get the corruption out of DC, & out of our representation.

There was an article by the NY times just the other day, Lobbyist ghostwrite for lawmakers, actually write bills passed by people we elect! Why elect them if they don't even write the bills, outsource our representation?

Reuben Worster of Lincoln, NE is a US Veteran, NOT a banker who broke US, he lost thousands of $ in the failure of Commonwealth Savings & Loan in 10-1983. Commonwealth was ripped off through the courts by Nebraska legislature & their partners in crime just as We the People were in the recent financial crisis. The receiver for Commonwealth stole over a million $ but why not, NE representatives & their partners in crime were stealing millions as well.

Commonwealth failure made 60 minutes. Reuben is a US Veteran, did everything he was suppose to do as an American, fought in WW2, worked his entire life, saved thousands of $ to care for his handicapped son, & was robbed by the same government that is robbing US today, same that will continue to rob US unless we do something about it. Every 18 year old kid who is considering the military, to fight for this country should be told, if they come home alive, they will pay the rest of their lives for the crimes by our mis-representatives today. Like Reuben they will get no thanks, phony Veteran's Day holidays will only be a reminder they were ripped off in more ways than the rest. Veteran's Day is like every holiday, just a paid day off.

I have thousands of pages of documentation Reuben sent me, he wants justice before he passes, he is 87 years old. I'm one American who will not tolerate a government of the people which robs veterans who fought for their country.... See More

If the American people don't stand up & send an email to the White House in support of Reuben Worster you all deserve to be robbed as Reuben was.

Tell Obama there is a man in this nation who needs to be repaid, he isn't a great mind on Wall Street who broke US & we needed to bail out, Reuben is a man who fought for our freedom.

Every American who reads this should send an email to Obama, if we're going to bail out the crooks who broke US to the tune of billions after they made trillions, we can afford to help one veteran recoup $ stolen from a veteran fought for our freedom.

According to www.opensecrets.org our employees have a great unions, Goldman Sachs which McCatchy newspaper just did a story on for hedging their losses on the housing bubble busting through the Cayman Islands, as well as the top ten list below contribute millions to our mis-representatives, & we bailed them out?

How is it our mis-representatives, employees like millions on the unions just below have great benefits & health care, pay, retirement yet the same mis-representatives bust unions, replace US taxpayers with illegal immigrants for years, hold down wages we paid health care for abused illegal immigrants in nonunion shops, the reason unions were started, driving up insurance costs along with pushing Americans out of unions? How is it we're going to be forced to buy insurance after paying for health care for illegal immigrants when the same mis-reps are going to allow illegal immigrants legal status next year according to the paper, 12 million, & we don't see the crime in this scam. They are going to force 30 million Americans to buy but they don't mention the 12 million illegal immigrants they're going top allow in after we paid rising health insurance paying for their injuries through abiuse in nonunion shops.

Like banking our mis-representatives have been handed millions, stopped regulation, health care reform, & now will jam US taxpayers in a scam that will make billions for insurance companies? ... See More

American taxpayers are being taken & we don't connect the dots! If millions of Americans got on a site like www.nextrevolution.net & told government to shove it, take your health care reform, & stick it where the sun don't shine, we'll pay $100 a month for health care, that's it. What would they do? The fact is if we can put enough names on a petition, demnad a vote on anything we want. We don't need these DC dead beats to tell US squat.

Just like health care we can have what ever we want for representation as well, do it ourselves online from home, put that on a site & do it like balancing your ck book. Wouldn't it make more sense to go broke on our own rather than pay our mis-representatives to break US while they get rich? Think about the cost of health care, our representatives stopped it for years, rates went up, millions were handed to our representatives, just like no regulation for banking, cost US billions, trillions over the years, so the cost of insurance is way more than it needs to be. In fact if you add in CEO pay, campaign finance, lobbyists, lawyers, accountants, advertising, & everything else we pay in premiums, we're paying way too much for insurance.

This isn't rocket sciemnce & we can pay a lot less than the crooks are going to shove down our throats. We're being robbed, held hostage just as with banking. We don't need the DC dead beats, infact we would be far better off without them. Send you rname to www.nextrevolution.net & when we have a million, 5 million, 10 million, or what ever we'll go to an insurance company of our choosing or start our own, & name our own price, tell government to shove it. Start an insurance company & pay our own CEO a fair wage even if we have to hire an illegal immigrant like many of our representatives do to do their house cleaning.

At the same time we start a petition to cut representative pay, they can get their own health care, bust all these unions just like they busted ours, take the retirmenyt of all representatives, retired, lobbyists, & current mis-representyatives, & pay back Social Security.

What are the DC dead beats going to do about it? If all the people in Tea parties, people who lost jobs, homes, & 40% in the stock market got on board we'd have million sof people. Bring in all independent truck drivers & their families & spread the word, millions of people suddenly telling the DC dead beats to find a job, they've been replaced.

Isn't it about time We the People called the shots?

Service Employees International Union
Boasting a membership of more than 1.5 million, SEIU is the largest and fastest growing member of the AFL-CIO. Representing a vast array of service-related workers, the union’s membership includes health care employees, janitors, security guards, public service employees, home care workers, building service workers, and probation and parole officers. The union is involved in virtually every major cause associated with labor, including higher wages, better and more affordable health care, and job safety. With the highest proportion of immigrants of any major union, SEIU pays close attention to immigration issues. SEIU and other unions currently are waging an intense battle with the White House, which wants to limit the labor protections of employees in the new Homeland Security Department.

Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs, one of Wall Street’s most prestigious investment banks, was also among the many banks in 2008 and 2009 to receive billions of dollars in taxpayer money to help it stay afloat. Like others in the securities industry, Goldman Sachs advises and invests in nearly every industry affected by federal legislation. The firm closely monitors issues including economic policy, trade and nearly all legislation that governs the financial sector. It has been a major proponent of privatizing Social Security as well as legislation that would essentially deregulate the investment banking/securities industry. The firm tends to give most of its money to Democrats. A number of high-ranking government officials in recent years have spent part of their careers at Goldman Sachs.

The PEOPLE don't even want nuclear weapons. If the REGIME was gone, there wouldn't be an issue.

How can Western governments help dissident Iranians with their cause? Merely supporting them with words seems so feeble.
