Health care

[gnofg]

Remind every Bush voter to appreciate their current health care because once the new tax structure that Bush wants to have that they will be buying individual policies and individual dental plans. Also remind them when voting tell them to do a little homework and see what the vision of the person running for office really is. Point out that Rove and the rest of Bush cronies love the gilded era and what a wonderful time that was for workers.

1. People need to be awaken and shown how these policies are affecting their

daily lives. It's not the democrats fault that you are losing your health care, overtime, jobs and your schools are going to shit.

3. any good sources?

I've been reading more and more about the possbility of losing employer sponsored health insurance (gotta be careful about saying health CARE cuz the wingnuts get all hot and bothered - well maybe that is a good thing, anyway...) but have yet to see any good source for this.

I've not been around long and would appreciate some suggestions.

THANKS!

4. Yahoo

It was in Yahoo yesterday and was an AP story. Oh yeah! Individual policies have a 1 year waiting period for any pre-existing condtion. I own my own comapny and I deduct healtcare off the biz. I will survive but I can't wait until all the repubs see what healthcare actually costs and how bad the individual plans are. Up until 2 years ago there wasn't even individual Dental available.

5. we can also remind people that if Bush has his

way "Simplifying" the tax code the businesses who provide health insurance will lose their deduction, that we may all lose our mortgage interest deduction and state and local tax deductions.... OUCH!
