It appears that there are numerous chinks in the armor surrounding the Obamacare plan and the “public insurance” option embedded in it. Simple questions from the public exposing the audacity and outright indecency of Democrat politicians is causing them to rethink the game plan.
Fox News reports:
The No. 2 Senate Democrat said Sunday that he’s “open” to health care reform that doesn’t include a government-run “public option,” the latest indication that the Democrats’ package could be scaled back as Senate negotiators try to hammer out a bipartisan compromise and constituents flood town halls to express discontent with the current legislation.
The so-called public option is a hot topic of debate at town hall meetings across the country. Supporters say it’s needed to keep private insurance companies in check and extend affordable coverage to all. Critics warn that the government should not have so much control over health care and that a public option could eventually eliminate private insurance.
The Senate Finance Committee, the last of five committees to consider health care legislation, is trying to hammer out a bipartisan compromise by mid-September — such a compromise might leave the public option behind.
Asked whether Democrats could support such a bill, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin said he’s personally willing to consider it.
“It doesn’t have to be a perfect bill,” the Illinois Democrat said. “I support a public option, but, yes, I am open.”
He said that assuming the Senate passes a bill, there will be another opportunity to revise it in the conference committee, where the House and Senate would try to smooth out the differences between their bills.
“So we’ll see how this ends, but I don’t want the process to be filibustered to failure, which unfortunately, many senators are trying to do. I want to make sure that we do something positive for the American people,” Durbin said.
My prediction, at this point, is that no public plan option will pass at this time. If an Obamacare bill passes, it will be watered-down without a public health insurance option though will be chock-full of other government expansion.
Time will tell, but it’s clear that the constituents are speaking and forcing the arrogant politicians to at least acknowledge the outright stupidity involved in the Obamacare plan.
Once again, I’ll let the angry mob speak:
What a dangerous bunch. Posing a serious danger with their questions and facts. How dare they?

Concessions? Do you really think it will be that easy and the Liberal left is going to fold after all this and just give concessions? They have to much invested in President Obama to just fold their tents and give up. The bill will have to be read and read again and again to make sure that not only the single payer is not in but keeping abortion,pain pill instead of operations for seniors and numerous other items out of this or any other bill. They aren’t finished with this by a long shot.Attacking insurance companies isn’t working so I PREDICT THE NEXT TACT TAKEN WILL BE TO CLAIM HOW SELFISH THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS AND HOW IT TARGETS THE POOR BLACK COMMUNITY.You will hear the whole DEMOCRATIC PARTY TAKE UP THE CHORUS and it will be followed faithfully by hacks like Keith Oberman and Chris Matthews.NO………..we aren’t done with this or even close to being done by a long shot.To many Democrats besides Sen.Reed and Speaker Pelosi have made their stand and won’t go down easily.AND BESIDES WE ARE DOING IT TO REMEMBER THAT GRAND STATESMAN TED KENNEDY.
That’s correct, DDMao.
The next step is to tell you you’re anti-American for “withholding” facts on health care:

How ironic that the very thing which Hoyer and Pelosi accuse ordinary Americans of doing is actually the thing that the President and congressional Democrats are doing.

“Likewise, each of the united States is “united” with the others explicitly on the principle that “governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed” and “whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends [i.e., protecting life, liberty, and property], it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government” and “when a long train of abuses and usurpations…evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.” [3]”

Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form all guns that you have or own. It may require fingerprints and a tax of $50 per gun.
This bill was introduced on Feb. 24. This bill will become public knowledge 30 days after it is voted into law. This is an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986. This means that the Finance Committee can pass this without the Senate voting on it at all.
EMAIL FROM MY BROTHER
……….
The full text of the proposed amendment is on the U.S. Senate homepage, http://www.senate.gov/
You can find the bill by doing a search by the bill number SB-2099.
You know who to call; I strongly suggest you do. Please send a copy of this e-mail to every gun owner you know.

Congress is now starting on the firearms confiscation bill. If it passes, gun owners will become criminals if you don’t fully comply.
It has started.
Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced into the House. This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009.
Even gun shop owners didn’t know about this because the government is trying to fly it under the radar.
To find out about this – go to any government website and type in HR 45 or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009. You will get all the information.
Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm – any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless:
It is registered -
You are fingerprinted -
You are photographed -
You supply a current Driver’s License -
You supply your Social Security # -
You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing -
Each update – change or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25 –
Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail. -
There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access provision.
Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18. -
They would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 years in prison.
If you think this is a joke – go to the website and take your pick of many options to read this. It is long and lengthy. But, more and more people are becoming aware of this. Pass the word along. Any hunters in your family pass this along.
This is just a “termite” approach to complete confiscation of guns and disarming of our society to the point we have no defense – chip away a little here and there until the goal is accomplished before anyone realizes it.
This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not.
If you take my gun, only the criminals will have one to use against me. HR 45 only makes me/us less safe.

Please… copy and send this out to EVERYONE in the USA , whether you support the Right to Bear Arms or are for gun control. We all should have the right to choose.
From the email alone, the Bill sounds like an excellent idea. Especially the part about prison if your guns are not safely kept away from your children.
There was a former military man who had lots of guns at home. His kid was coming to me neighborhood and selling his dads guns. How f-cked up is that?
If u want to own a gun, fine, but if u let your kids have access and they do things like go to the poor neighborhoods and sell them on the street, that is insane!
So, I am all for a bill that has stiff penalties for violators of gun control.
