Well, the administration announced it would hold civilian trials in New York for the 9/11 mastermind and other terrorists. I suspect the administration hopes this move will hasten the closure of Guantanamo. The administration's announcement is exasperating, irresponsible, and absurd. Terrorists just do not deserve the same right to trial as Americans. Moving terrorists to New York will give those who wish to harm us constitutional rights that they do not deserve. Also it will expose our intelligence gathering methods to the world. For the safety of all Americans, a trial should be held in military courts in Guantanamo. The administration should never put the rights of terrorists above the rights of Americans. God bless America.

Today, we are voting on speaker Pelosis $1 trillion Washington takeover of health care. This bill bulldozes individual liberty and puts the government just where it doesn't belong, right smack dab in the middle of your personal health care decisions. This bill forces every single person in this country to produce or purchase government-approved health care or go to jail. Businesses must also offer government-approved health care or face hundreds of billions of dollars in job-killing taxes. Unfortunately, government-approved health care will be defined by a handful of bureaucrats around a conference table in Washington. This unprecedented Washington power grab eliminates an individual's right to choose what kind of health care is best for them and their families. Speaker Pelosis 20-pound, 2,000-page bill costs $2.2 million per word. The American public has made their voices heard. They are sick and tired of the government sticking its nose where it doesn't belong and federal up with Washingtons bailout, free handouts and special interest paybacks. The democrats in congress need to listen and come up with a bipartisan patient-centered plan. we can do better with a targeted, fiscally responsible approach that makes health insurance more affordable, more accessible and available. Real health reform protects the patient's right to choose their own care. Real health reform gives doctors the freedom to do what's best for their patients. We can do all this without piling trillions of dollars in debt on to our children and our grandchildren. Vote down this deficit ballooning, job-killing Washington takeover of health care today.

According to the experts at c.m.s., the democrats' health care bill is bad news for seniors. senior citizens have a right to know that the cost for pelosi's trillion dollar government takeover of health care is paid for with almost $500 billion in medicare cuts. first, millions of seniors will lose their health plans. the experts predict that enrollment in medicare advantage will decline 64%, and that medicare benefits will be cut for 11 million seniors enrolled in medicare advantage. second, according to the congressional budget office, the democrat health plan will increase the cost of medicare prescription drug premiums by 20%. seniors will literally lose their right to choose. cutting the benefits seniors are entitled to in the name of creating government-run health insurance is just wrong. seniors want, need and deserve better from america.

Americans want, need and deserve a patient-centered approach to healthcare After Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) unveiled sweeping health reform legislation written behind closed doors, U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (3rd Dist.-Texas) declared that government-forced insurance is not the answer and urged Congress to reconsider a targeted, more bipartisan approach. Today the Democrats proposed the biggest Washington takeover to date. Americans dont want insurance bureaucracy and we certainly dont need government bureaucracy. With this plan, the American people will end up with both, declared Johnson, who serves on the Health Subcommittee on Ways and Means. Americans deserve a better approach to healthcare one that is patient-centered, rather than insurance company-centered or Washington-centered. Government-forced insurance is not the answer. The newly introduced Affordable Health Care for America Act, H.R. 3962, costs nearly $1 trillion and represents three months of intense secret negotiations among House Democrats. The 2,000 page bill hurts seniors with sweeping cuts to Medicare, forces Americans to buy health insurance, taxes all Americans who do not purchase government approved health coverage, limits personal choices and individual decisions, and jeopardizes the health insurance Americans already have and often times like. Democrats and Republicans ought to be talking about how we can find solutions to provide more access to more treatments and more doctors with less interference from insurance companies and Washington politicians and special interests, continued Johnson. Johnson takes issue with the nearly $1 trillion price tag that will greatly impact future generations. The costly mistakes we make today will force our children and grandchildren to work twice as hard for half the opportunity. Thats not right. Johnson believes that healthcare in America needs reform and feels that Congress can and must do better with a targeted, bipartisan approach. There are several important areas where Republicans and Democrats agree and could move forward. First, people should have access to coverage regardless of pre-existing conditions. Second, individuals, small businesses and other groups should be able to join together to access insurance at lower prices, the same way large businesses and labor unions do. For years, Johnson has championed legislation to do just that. (The Small Business Health Fairness Act, H.R. 2607) Third, America can and should provide assistance to those who still cannot access a doctor when they need one. Fourth, insurers should be able to offer incentives for wellness care and prevention. Fifth, any healthcare reform proposal should include medical malpractice liability reform so healthcare providers can stop practicing defensive medicine and instead focus on patient-centered medicine; this would save taxpayers an estimated $54 billion. Johnson also advocates several common-sense solutions, such as giving the American public and Members of Congress 72 hours to read legislation before it comes up for a vote. In addition, Johnson thinks that Members of Congress should practice what they preach and enroll in the government-controlled plan if they vote for it. The House of Representatives is expected to vote on H.R. 3962, the "Affordable Healthcare for America Act," in the coming days. As this legislation will personally impact every American and the critical doctor-patient relationship, I encourage North Texas residents to review the details carefully.
