Death Panel List...Get on NOW!
If you're older than 60 years, get onto the 'death panel' list NOW before it gets crowded and expensive! (The Health Bill isn't going to pass in a form that would save you $$, but WILL pass so that some of the scare language comes to fruition. Count on the insurance companies to cash in on your misfortune!) Anyway, Senator Collins office says, "There's nothing like that in the works right now." (Death panels, I mean.)
Yup, I called both my Senators. Senator Snowe's office phone was answered by a woman named Rachel. When asked for her last name, she refused to give it. As a taxpayer, I resent that I cannot know the last names of people whose salaries I contribute to pay! Anyway, Rachel didn't know anything about the Health Care Bill....or so she claimed. "Senator Snowe prefers to communicate with her constituents on this issue," or so says Rachel. I left my name and address and will receive a letter...probably the exact same letter I received from Snowe last week?!! In it she claimed that she/we needed more time to look more carefully at any health care bill.
I researched a couple of weeks ago and Snowe receives rather large contributions from the insurance industry. Wonder WHY she would not support a public option? Hmmmm???????? She may well represent the insurance companies first...NOT Maine citizens!! (According to the Fifth Republic, Snowe is among the "top 20 recipients of contributions from insurance and drug companies. ")
I called Collin's office and Jessie Logan answered. She said that there is no bill right now, so "nothing like that (death panels) is in the works right now." I was so relieved to hear that death panels are OUT for the time being! 'Right now' is a loophole though....it leaves plenty of space for 'death panels' at a later date, doesn't it?
So, call YOUR senator today and get put on that list...the Death Panel list! Don't delay! Don't wait! It may cost you, if you do! Call your senator and find out how to get onto the list.
