Hadassa and Joe Lieberman Health Care Killers
I would like to give my opinion on health care reform, personally I supported Senator Ted Kennedy's health care bill, I support Medicare for all, and the public option. I am not happy with the current proposal with all its cuts, I believe it is a proposal that has been cut, mangled, and watered down. It does not reflect what the majority of Americans wanted or expected or was promised from our elected officials. It certainly is not what Obama promised to the people if they supported him for his via for president. Obama has in my opinion, became a gutless individual who promised the people real change and has given them absolutely the status quo on healthcare. President Obama has one thing in common with Joe Lieberman, he flip-flops. Presidents Obama's compromise to reach across the isle to the republicans has been one of his biggest blunders, and is the reason our health care reform is sinking in the quagmire of a stinking cesspool of republican cuts and mutilations geared to the benefit of insurance companies which ever way the bill goes. On to Joe Lieberman:
Joe Lieberman's bombshell denouncing his support for healthcare reform has angered the democrats and put the healthcare reform bill in line for failure; the democrat's had counted on Lieberman's vote to pass the current proposal.
Lieberman's is against public option; against Medicare buy in, against the Class Act portion of the bill, which refers to a federal insurance program for long-term care, known as the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act. Lieberman is against any government plan what's so ever. It is apparent that Lieberman is against any decent affordable healthcare period.
Lieberman who is a flip flopping maggot receives hundreds of thousands of dollars from insurance companies and there is bewilderment from some people where his loyalties lie? Not so, Lieberman could careless about the lives of his fellow Americans, right now with out Lieberman voting and supporting the current proposal of healthcare reform 40 thousand + Americans will die for the lack of healthcare. Thank You Mr. Lieberman your usual ignorant decisions and republican thinking will cost the ultimate, peoples lives, lives that could have been treated and saved.
The usual rant of republicans that the healthcare bill will add to the deficit is total hogwash; over a ten-year period the bill will actually decline the deficit by $81 billion.
When Lieberman was a running mate with Al gore he campaigned on a platform that proposed offering everyone 55 and older an option to buy into Medicare. That proposal was the core part of the Gore-Lieberman campaign on health care their plan would have created a robust public option for people aged 55 to 65. It's the same proposal that Lieberman now claims is a deal-breaker for him on health care reform. Flip Flop Joe!
Liberman is angry at the democrats because he lost his senate seat to Lamont in the primary in 06,and the democrats did not support his decission to switch from a democrat to an Independent. The democrats supported the voters decission. instead of stepping down with grace and diginity he switched parties to win back his seat. His obivious and deliberate move to the hard right will be his undoing in 2012, people can respect a good loser but Libermans whinning and slimy slithering to retain a senate seat at any cost, only deepens their disrespect for this man, a man who cannot be trusted, a man who cannot keep his word, a man who is nothing more than a FLIP FLOPPING SLEAZY LYING TURNCOAT. Who's once arch rivials has now become his only friends in the senate, John Mc Cain and Lindsey Graham the far right of the right. Hadassa Liberman
Mrs. Liberman has worked for the lobbying company, APCO Associates, that had many pharmaceutical and healthcare corporations among its clients, as well as four major drug companies such as Pfizer. In March 2005, Hadassah was hired by Hill and Knowlton as senior counselor in the firm's "health care and pharmaceuticals practice." Hadassah's close relationship with pharmaceutical and healthcare corporations while her husband introduced legislation benefiting these exact companies has raised questions about improprieties and conflict of interest.
Right now mrs. Liberman is a paid spokesperson for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. Mrs. Lieberman's husband said he would not support an expansion of Medicare to cover individuals under the age of 55.
Statement from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation
"Hadassah Lieberman is an important and valued Global Ambassador for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. As a Global Ambassador, Ms. Lieberman is focused on helping us reach out and educate women outside our borders about breast cancer, sharing our knowledge and experience in a culturally sensitive way that is making a real impact on the lives of women across the globe. We have every intention of continuing our relationship with Ms. Lieberman in our mutual pursuit of a world without breast cancer."
Sounds ironic a foundation that promotes breast cancer awareness, promotes women's health, promotes breast exams every year, promotes treatment, a foundation that is seeking a cure for breast cancer pays a women who's ties to pharmaceuticals and insurance companies is detrimental to all peoples heath, and a husband who is trying all in his power to stop health care reform for all people. Why educate women about breast cancer. With Lieberman's actions women cannot afford the exam costs, or treatments. No man woman or child will be able to have medical care.
The nations people Thank you Trader Joe and your slimy wife, you have yours, and to hell with the less fortunate. It must feel really nice to have the burden of people's lives on your conscience, but then you people have no conscience.
