Last night, Democrats in the Senate led by Harry Reid rammed through the Senate Health care bill with a cloture vote. The bill is now moving forward to the Senate floor for debate.
It's a $1 TRILLION+ spending bill the American people don't want to pay for and it's a bill that deserves far more thought from the "deliberative body" of our democracy. Rushing to meet artificial deadlines isn't the smart approach to anything.
Feel like fighting back? Cast your vote against the bill with a donation of $5 or more towards Huck PAC's efforts to defeat these Senate Democrats. We are 1461 contributions away from our end of November fundraising goal. You may make your donation here.

Mike Huckabee; I certainly like what you stand for and I absolutely love your show and you are doing the right thing for this country. I am a U S Navy retiree who lives in Atlanta and I would vote for you for President, and I like Sean Hannity, Bill OReilly, Sarah Palin and the lady Congressmen from Minnesota. I am trying to convince my Congressmen and Senators to change the Uniformed Services Former Spouse Protection Act and bring a bill to the Georgia House and Senate to change this to a state law where a former spouse will not get any portion of a military retires retainer if a former spouse either cohabitation or remarries. As it stands now, a former spouse receives anywhere from 30 to 50% to him or her for LIFE-----------------------.

The media says that Republicans were for a similar health care bill when President Richard Nixon offered it, against it when President Bill Clinton wanted to implement it, and against it again when this President offered it. To all this I say that I was always against the bill for the reasons that the GOP cite today.
I know politicians only want what the President of their party wants. Like how Senator Edward Kennedy derailed the plan when Nixon had it and now suddenly wanted it again. I realize it's all part of the game and they don't really give a hoot about us.
With all that is said and done over the years, one thing is for sure, I will keep fighting at the ballot box for our Constitution until the day I die. I hope America does the same.
Keep fighting for the future generations of your family that will be here after you are long gone. They will thank you for trying.

I was really worried about the demonstations of the tea partiers yesterday.....It was really hard for me to believe that they would do anything to make the democrats right about what they say about us...soooo... I think people were planted in the audience and it was not any of the tea partiers ,but peolple planted there to make what the democrats have been trying to accuse us of all these months.. we are not that stupid to demolish all we have done by making such horrific name calling now.....lets think about that!!!!!
And of course the biased media will go on and on until they make people believe it!!!I am sick of it!!! -

It is NOT what WE Asked for.
There is an important point that no one seems to be talking about that appears to me to be the most offensive part of the Health Care Reform debate.
We did Not ask for another entitlement program. We asked for Heath Insurance Reform to combat the ever increasing cost of insurance, to stop the abuse and unfair business practices of the insurance industry, to stop the outrageous legal awards costing doctors, and to allow purchasing insurance from where we want to allow competition to reduces costs.
Instead, the liberals have devised another fleecing of the taxpayers to create an even larger entitlement class, which is obviously a large part of their voting base. It is pretty scary to think that those on the public dole may be the ones deciding how those of us that work for a living, will have to give up more to support them.
Let's call the Obama Health Care Reform what it REALLY is: another Liberal Entitlement Social System or LESS. We do not need more badly managed, fraud prone, growing on the backs of the taxpayers, entitlement programs. These programs are what is really killing our economy. Every business man knows that out of control costs will cause financial failure. Politicians do not understand these basic economic principals, since they can just raise taxes and it does not affect their pocketbooks.
Every entitlement program has failed to resolve or fix what it was designed to. They have not reduced the poor, they have created more. And these are the ones who teach their offspring to suck on the government nipple, and that they are entitled to be taken care of.
Every time someone says "we have a right", they really are saying "we want you to give us something for free that others will work and pay for".

Not God Bless America, but God Forgive America -- We all remember Obama's pastor's rant, but when Planned Parenthood estimates an additional 400,000 abortions each year as the result of the bill, we all need to ask for God's forgiveness for this country. This bill is just a first step in the socialization of the country to include student loans, health care, energy - the start of a totalitarian dictatorship - just look at how things proceeded in Venezuela

As a family, we have been fairly passive, regarding our government taking over ever aspect of our lives. No more! We will actively partcipate in: "We the people for the people". The government is not listening they say, "we are not cabable of making informed decisions". You that have been swayed by smooth talk and monetary gain, will be voted out of a job. Welcome to the real world.

We have tried and tried to call the representatives that are for the Health Care Bill for several weeks, but to no avail. Their mailboxes are full, they don't answer, or we are ban from their e-mail boxes since we are not in their districts.
I would like to send you a DVD entitled "Silencing God". It is excellent. It shows what this country was built on and what is happening to it now. People need to wake up--or we are going to lose America as we now know it!

Well, Republicans won't have to remind me of anything before voting day. When we tell Congress we don't want it and they act as if they don't care, I will vote them all out, no matter how good the bill turns out. We are in a recession and I can't for the life of me see how we can afford this health care plan. I can see it now, we put money into this thing and our elected officials will rob it like they do with social security. I'm sick of our politicians borrowing money and printing it at record paces while the masses lose jobs, and go into foreclosure, and then the houses sit there empty bringing down the value of everything around it.

My husband and I are retired USAF (combined 65+ years of service) and although we have earned VA benefits and my husband is eligible for Medicare we continue to carry optional medical insurance because we have no confidence in the government's ability to run these types of programs satisfactorily. I am sure that if we have not done so my husband's cancer treatment five years ago would not have been paid and I would be a widow today. The government does not belong in the health business. I do not want the government making the call which tests are needed or deemed unnecessary, it is already bad enough with HMOs second guessing the doctors. Nor do I want rationed health care.
Despite the doctor's insistence it was nothing, my husband and I demanded an MRI immediately, because we knew there was something wrong. He was being summarily dismissed because of his age. He is trim, he is healthy, no diabetes, no heart disease, no cholesterol and he still works. He has a young family (I am a young 54 and are our youngest daughter was just commissioned as a 2LT in the USAF) with everything to live for. Luckily, they discovered the cancer, however it was dangerously close to penetrating his spinal sheath and I would otherwise have been a widow today. Today, he is in remission with no recurrence and still trim, healthy, no heart diseases, no cholesterol and still works. Patients need the freedom to advocate for their own heath care.
I do not want a disembodied career bureaucrat or civil servant far removed from the reality of the situation making the calls on a generation of seniors who are historically healthy than they have even been in history denied treatment because of their age. We all know where this is going...

Have you seen this letter??:
Please discuss these issues on your show!
An Indianapolis doctor's letter to Sen. Bayh about the Bill (Note: Dr. Stephen E. Fraser, MD practices as an anesthesiologist in Indianapolis, IN ) Here is a letter I sent to Senator Bayh.. Feel free to copy it and send it around to all other representatives. -- Stephen Fraser
Senator Bayh,
As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the government's proposed involvement in the patient-physician relationship. The very idea that the government will dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful in designing a health care system that works for all. Every physician I work with agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster if passed.
I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our fellow citizens.Page 22 of the HC Bill: Mandates that the Govt will audit books of all employers that self-insure!!
Page 30 Sec 123 of HC bill: THERE WILL BE A GOVT COMMITTEE that decides what treatments/benefits you get.
Page 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill: YOUR HEALTH CARE IS RATIONED!!!
Page 42 of HC Bill: The Health Choices Commissioner will choose your HC benefits for you. You have no choice!Page 50 Section 152 in HC bill: HC will be provided to ALL non-US citizens, illegal or otherwise.
Page 58 HC Bill: Govt will have real-time access to individuals' finances & a 'National ID Health card' will be issued! (Papers please!)
Page 59 HC Bill lines 21-24: Govt will have direct access to your bank accounts for elective funds transfer. (Time for more cash and carry)
Page 65 Sec 164: Is a payoff subsidized plan for retirees and their families in unions & community organizations: (ACORN).
Page 84 Sec 203 HC bill: Govt mandates ALL benefit packages for private HC plans in the 'Exchange.'
Page 85 Line 7 HC Bill: Specifications of Benefit Levels for Plans -- The Govt will ration your health care!
Page 91 Lines 4-7 HC Bill: Govt mandates linguistic appropriate services. (Translation: illegal aliens.)
Page 95 HC Bill Lines 8-18: The Govt will use groups (i.e. ACORN & AmeriCorps to sign up individuals for Govt HC plan.Page 85 Line 7 HC Bill: Specifications of Benefit Levels for Plans. (AARP members - your health care WILL be rationed!)
Page 102 Lines 12-18 HC Bill: Medicaid eligible individuals will be automatically enrolled in Medicaid. (No choice.)Page 12 4 lines 24-25 HC: No company can sue GOVT on price fixing. No "judicial review" against Govt monopoly.
Page 127 Lines 1-16 HC Bill: Doctors/ American Medical Association - The Govt will tell YOU what salary you can make.
Page 145 Line 15-17: An Employer MUST auto-enroll employees into public option plan. (NO choice!)
Page 126 Lines 22-25: Employers MUST pay for HC for part-time employees AND their families. (Employees shouldn't get excited about this as employers will be forced to reduce its work force, benefits, and wages/salaries to cover such a huge expense.)
Page 149 Lines 16-24: ANY Employer with payroll 401k & above who does not provide public option will pay 8% tax on all payroll! (See the last comment in parenthesis.)
Page 150 Lines 9-13: A business with payroll between $251K & $401K who doesn't provide public option will pay 2-6% tax on all payroll.
Page 167 Lines 18-23: ANY individual who doesn't have acceptable HC according to Govt will be taxed 2.5% of income.Page 170 Lines 1-3 HC Bill: Any NONRESIDENT Alien is exempt from individual taxes. (Americans will pay.) (Like always)
Page 195 HC Bill: Officers & employees of the GOVT HC Admin.. will have access to ALL Americans' finances and personal records. (I guess so they can 'deduct' their fees)
Page 203 Line 14-15 HC: "The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax." (Yes, it really says that!) ( a 'fee' instead)
Page 239 Line 14-24 HC Bill: Govt will reduce physician services for Medicaid Seniors. (Low-income and the poor are affected.)Page 241 Line 6-8 HC Bill: Doctors: It doesn't matter what specialty you have trained yourself in -- you will all be paid the same! (Just TRY to tell me that's not Socialism!)
Page 253 Line 10-18: The Govt sets the value of a doctor's time, profession, judgment, etc. (Literally-- the value of humans.)
Page 265 Sec 1131: The Govt mandates and controls productivity for "private" HC industries.
Page 268 Sec 1141: The federal Govt regulates the rental and purchase of power driven wheelchairs.
Page 272 SEC. 1145: TREATMENT OF CERTAIN CANCER HOSPITALS - Cancer patients - welcome to rationing!
Page 280 Sec 1151: The Govt will penalize hospitals for whatever the Govt deems preventable (i.e...re-admissions).Page 298 Lines 9-11: Doctors: If you treat a patient during initial admission that results in a re-admission -- the Govt will penalize you.
Page 317 L 13-20: PROHIBITION on ownership/investment. (The Govt tells doctors what and how much they can own!)
Page 317-318 lines 21-25, 1-3: PROHIBITION on expansion. (The Govt is mandating that hospitals cannot expand.)
Page 321 2-13: Hospitals have the opportunity to apply for exception BUT community input is required. (Can you say ACORN?)
Page 335 L 16-25 Pg 336-339: The Govt mandates establishment of=2 outcome-based measures. (HC the way they want -- rationing.)
Page 341 Lines 3-9: The Govt has authority to disqualify Medicare Advance Plans, HMOs, etc. (Forcing people into the Govt plan)
Page 354 Sec 1177: The Govt will RESTRICT enrollment of 'special needs people!' Unbelievable!
Page 379 Sec 1191: The Govt creates more bureaucracy via a "Tele-Health Advisory Committee." (Can you say HC by phone?)
Page 425 Lines 4-12: The Govt mandates "Advance-Care Planning Consult." (Think senior citizens end-of-life patients.)
Page 425 Lines 17-19: The Govt will instruct and consult regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney, etc. (And it's mandatory!)
Page 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3: The Govt provides an "approved" list of end-of-life resources; guiding you in death. (Also called 'assisted suicide.')(Sounds like Soylent Green to me.)Page 427 Lines 15-24: The Govt mandates a program for orders on "end-of-life." (The Govt has a say in how your life ends!)
Page 429 Lines 1-9: An "advanced-care planning consultant" will be used frequently as a patient's health deteriorates.
Page 429 Lines 10-12: An "advanced care consultation" may include an ORDER for end-of-life plans.. (AN ORDER TO DIE FROM THE GOVERNMENT?!?)Page 429 Lines 13-25: The GOVT will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order. (I wouldn't want to stand before God after getting paid for THAT job!)
Page 430 Lines 11-15: The Govt will decide what level of treatment you will have at end-of-life! (Again -- no choice!)
Page 469: Community-Based Home Medical Services = Non-Profit Organizations. (Hello? ACORN Medical Services here!?!)
Page 489 Sec 1308: The Govt will cover marriage and family therapy. (Which means Govt will insert itself into your marriage even.)Page 494-498: Govt will cover Mental Health Services including defining, creating, and rationing those services.
Senator, I guarantee that I personally will do everything possible to inform patients and my fellow physicians about the dangers of the proposed bills you and your colleagues are debating.
Furthermore, if you vote for a bill that enforces socialized medicine on the country and destroys the doctor-patient relationship, I will do everything in my power to make sure you lose your job in the next election.
Respectfully,
Stephen E. Fraser, MDDear Reader,
I urge you to use the power that you were born with (and the power that may soon be taken away) and circulate this email to as many people as you can reach. The Power of the People can stop this from happening to us, our parents, our grandparents, our children, and to following generations.

Dear Governor, I received this email and immediately thought of you:
"Thought you might enjoy this interesting prayer given in Kansas at the opening session of their Senate. It seems prayer still upsets some people. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:
"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.
"We have lost our spiritual quilibrium and reversed our values.
"We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
"We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
"We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
"We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
"We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.
"We have abused power and called it
politics."We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
"We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
"We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
"Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
"Amen!
"The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian
Church, where Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls
responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer
from India, Africa and Korea."Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired."

Ive experienced the insurance nightmare firsthand. I couldnt fight the insurance companies and the hospitals wanted every cent from me. More from me than they would get as a negotiated rate if insurance was covering our situation.Full price baby. It was so corrupt it makes you ill.Drained our savings because we were "above need". Yah right.
That said I still see only even more trouble coming if this bill passes. Powerless to fight insurance and healthcare? Did you ever fight the government? The IRS? The law if wrongly accused? Talk about powerless, if this passes we just handed another piece of controlling our own destiny to an entity that rides a money train we keep having to fuel and wave at while they go on absurd adventures.We have the best healthcare-like any business, insurance gets corrupt and greedy.Why cant they just slap down some fair rules on insurance; what it can cost and a way for individuals to obtain a fair policy, where they are treated like they are in a group? Those few measures would be a fair start.But alas, somewhere in this is a money train that benefits someone other than "us"...

I don't know how true this is but I just heard that if the health care bill passes, they will require us all to go for a checkup so the feds can decide on a case by case basis, what we will cost everyone in the long run and how to fix it cheaply. I also heard that when technology is better, when we go to a store to buy food, the register will compute our BMI and refuse to ring up the item if our number is too high.
Please, someone pass me the death pill!

Hi Mike,
I watch you all the time on Fox News and have read your book and always wait to hear your reasonable, controlled, wise answer. I used the word "wise" because I believe that's a gift God has given you....don't squander it. :-) (I'm older than you so I can talk like that.)
However, I was disappointed when I came to your website that you didn't have a link to the websites or phone numbers of our congress people. I had checked your website some time ago and I was very pleased that it sent me straight to my congress people whom I called and emailed about my concern over passing this terrible healthcare bill.
Thanx for considering this, Mike.
God Bless and continue to use you,

I never knew about Reconciliation or deem and pass uhtil now. If I had, I would have opposed it. However, I did wonder how the Bush Administration always managed to get what they wanted in their 8 years.
I learned recently that the Slaughter rule had different names. At one time it was called the Hastert rule, and even the Gephardt rule. I guess I wasn't paying attention in them days like I am today. Maybe it's because it is now probably going to be used on something that will control every aspect of our bodies.
I've come to the conclusion it's all about getting back at the Republicans for using these tactic 16 out of 22 times. They showed the Democrats how it's done. If the GOP had used these tactics more sparingly, maybe we wouldn't be in the predicament we are in today.
If the health care bill passes under these circumstances you can bet it will be used for any and all things that Obama wants to make law. I can think of one in particular. Can you spell gun control?

If the Republican Caucus in the House believes "deeming" is a violation of Article 1, Sec. 7 of the Constitution ("All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills."), they should not enter the chamber during that rules vote, but stand outside in Constitutional protest. Republicans should not participate in a blatant abrogation of Constitutional duty by the majority of the House.

I live in a gated community that has 10 doctors living in it. I asked them all what they intend to do if Obamacare goes through and 6 out of 10 said they will retire. The rest said that they will wait and see how it goes before making a decision.
About a year ago I set up an appointment with a doctor that don't live in my housing development for a checkup and when I got there I was told that they only serve insured customers. I even showed them the cash and still couldn't get in. I left and went elsewhere and had no problem.
In the early 90's I saw a sign in a hospital that said we reserve the right to wait on our insured customers before uninsured ones. It was a privately owned one at that. I haven't seen a sign like that since.
Even if the health care bill offered today is a good thing, I still wouldn't want it. Nancy Pelosi blew it when she said that they have to pass the bill before we can see it. My parents always told me not to sign onto anything until you know what's in it!

For anyone interested, you can easily email your congressmen by doing a google search for his/her name, and it will show you their personal site.

If you do not know their name, just google congressmen/ your state, and their name will pop up.

where in the U S Constitution you find the authorization for "health care?"
After they give you a few sentences of a non answer. Ask them this question.
2) Mr/Ms Congressman/woman, when are you going to answer my first question? -

If this is true, it is even more horrendous than I thought. Would love for you to look into and tell me the truth. Thanks E. Cogginst

Since when do they throw the Constitution out the window and rule us? I thought that we the people elect these individuals to work for us not against us!!! I have spoken to both liberals and conservatives and no one I know out here in middle America wants this bill that we cannot afford. We need health insurance reform not a government take-over! If this is such a great plan then all of Congress and the President should offer to go on the plan too!!!

NO to the Obama/Reid/Pelosi Bill, all they care about is passing it, they really don't know what is in it, they want to go down in history for passing it. All I can say is for all the people who voted for him, is this the change you wanted? If it isn't, you need to send letters to your congressmen. Keep praying for our leaders! We may need our health care improved, but we don't need a bill that nobody knows what's in it.

A BIG NO on Health Care.
Missouri is the latest having to close schools. If we have all the money that Obama is spending traveling around the world and the U.S. campaigning for health care . . how many schools could be saved, and how many people could we have been insuring???

Mike, I watched Nancy Pelosi's interview on PBS and was floored once again as to how ignorant Hilltoppers have become. I have included my comment to her following the broadcast of her interview. Enjoy, and thank you for standing up for what good is left in this country. I have watched all the press conferences from both parties and read through a lot of the literature in this bill which has caused this "Delay by the Rep. party", which all of America is aware is not the truth, and am appalled that you would pass, let alone be on the ban wagon for shoving it through. I watched your interview on PBS tonight and was absolutely floored with the ignorance coming from your mouth. You skated arounf the question on budget nuetrality with buzz words about "Affordablity". The second point that sent me through the roof was when you told America that, " ... In order to have a bill, it has to be vote into law so that it can be made into a bill." Obviously, you haven't opened your eyes enough to see that your own party members are the ones "Causing Delay" with this bill, as they no that they morally cannot ram something down the throughts of the ones who pay your outragesly landish salary, whom you have taken oath to listen to and represent, not railroad. Federally run health care has never worked, take for example Canada, more and more people come to America to get life saving treatments that the Government has denied, which the current Senate also does. The current Senate bill denies coverage to thoes who have terminal or life long disease or injury "For the sake of the greater good." If Americans wanted to live like Mexicans, Canadians, Russians, French, or Italian's, they would flee and go back to the hell holes that our founding fathers faught to save of us from. It's time for you Hilltop tickle fighters to go back to our roots cut the budget through cutting the size of "Big Brother", honor States Rights, allow the states to regulate and run health care. In final thought there is other pressing issues not being addressed that are a more immediate necessity. Start with the smaller issues within cutting healh care costs, such as fraud, accepting bribes from pharmaceutical lobbyists, reduce your health care benefits back to what you want us to swallow. Use the remaining TARP monies to create jobs in alternative electrical grids and autos.

It is so funny that I haven't heard nary a sound about the President going to Massachusetts to stump for Obamacare. If he goes now it will just suggest that he read this and needs to cover his tracks.

I've got an idea although I can't really see the President doing this. He could consult with Governor Mitt Romney who was there when Massachusetts got their health care deal. This of course is only if he will stick with what he said on television about what's good for that state might not be what's good for the nation. He also said it has ups and down and that each state could have their own thing going and how we can learn from each other on how to make it right.

Censorship is bad now, but I suspect it will get worse if Obamacare is passed. Progressives will probably put their foot down for sure when people continue to protest. Go ahead, click on the link below. It won't bite.

If this health care bill passes as is, we will see unemployment like no other time in history. Fast food places, along with fattening food producers will be put out of business because insurance companies and employers will demand that we don't eat them things. Or whatever they decide isn't good for you.
And here I thought we were a free country.
