I Worked Long and Hard for My Health Insurance, So Keep Your Hands Off of It!!!

Dear Mr. President,

I worked nearly 20 years to earn the right to have a better than average health-care plan for my retirement years. In fact, I went 6 years in-a-row without a pay raise, because the State of California had an ongoing pay freeze in place. Because I was in management, I had no union to fight for my pay increases.

However, the state did promise me my Cadillac CTS health-plan upon retirement, and I will not go easy should you impose one more tax on me in order to keep this insurance.

I believe I speak for all Americans, when I tell you to "back-off" and reconsider the life-time of financial and emotional damage your "pipe-dream" health-care plan will bring down on people such as me.

What you want so badly to accomplish in the name of your legacy, is just not fair.

If you will, allow me to tell you a little something about why the King of England lost this new nation to a group of "tea drinking rebel-rouser's!" These folks were being taxed to the point of being pushed to the point in their life where they could no longer support their family and their modest way of life.

I truly believe that you have presented us with a bill that will push the average American into the proverbial corner, leaving them no alternative but, to come out fighting in order to regain the freedoms that this nation once promised and provided to everyone who was willing to die for in order to remain free of the King's greedy tax.

Please take some time. Take a step back, and give this bill the time that is needed in order for it to be written in a way that will deliver health-care to those who do not have health care, while your bill allows the rest of us to live out our life with the health plans we worked long and hard for.

Sincerely Yours,

Pastor Paul

 

It's A True Pimp-mobile

Since you brought it up, I couldn't let it pass :laugh:. I just hope I didn't break an Board rules with the title. If I have, PLEASE forgive me, and simply dump the post in the waste can...

 

That's a Good Question.

I'm not sure, does it make a difference in how this tax can effect my health plan???

 

You Said It Well....

I thought I'd never see this day either....however, it has to come forth if we want to see the second coming of Jesus. Maranatha!!!

I am not going to get into a theological hair-splitting debate with any of you. However, for your information, the chapters I am embracing are in Ezk. 38-39; Daniel 11:40-45; and Joel 2:20. I have read and followed Hal Lindsey and embrace "most" of his ideas. However, even some of his ideas don't sit well with me!

As for America in end time prophesy... well, it just doesn't seem to be there. Of course there are believers and theologians who think differently, and that's great. All that truly matters in the end is that there's coming a day when the Lord will return [I Thess. 4:16-17], and that is all that matters to me, and that is all that should matter to you guys [who are attempting to stir up a pot of useless cyber-debates]. Being ready for His return is what it's all about. Are you ready? I know I am...

Whether the U.S. is wiped out in the end days; whether Gog and Magog come down and fight Israel, and each other are simply up to your theology and your "leanings".

I am not going to debate you guys, because I'm sure you ALL have your thoughts well laid out. Let's just leave it at this... Jesus is coming back, and that will, and should be, the day that we are living and working for as a church. The fields are white for the harvest, and we need to be out there doing the Lord's bidding!

I'm sure that you would agree that in-fighting as to whose theology is right, or wrong is spiritually ridiculous, and totally unnecessary, plus it could be a sin [fighting with your brothers over what the Bible may, or may not mean].

I hope we can agree on this. If not, I refuse to get sucked into a cyber-debate with any of you over splitting theological-hairs. Peace, and love in Jesus to all who do not agree with my beliefs. If you are correct, so be it. It won't keep any of us out of Heaven, and that is fact, and there are plenty of verses to support that comment.:saint:

Shalom,

Thanks for the Input

The truth is, those who administer the HMO {Kaiser Permanente} I'm on, will get the same care I am getting, because they have the same insurance I have. In fact, their plan is much better than mine, because they have a "zero" co-pay. Mine continues to go up each year. I just received my 2009 membeship statement, and it shows, my co-pays for meds and visits in 2009 were in the high $3,000.00 range. That is a lot when you only have a state retirement plan and SSDI.

However, and I'll pray for your situation, it sounds like you are in worse shape than I could ever imagine. I'm sorry you have so little to fall back on, and as I said in my post, you deserve a national plan to care for your health. I do not stand in your way to have this. It is just not right for the country to take away plans from those who are already covered, and that is what may happen. Retirees in my system may be switched over to the new plan, and that is my complaint.

Love in Jesus,
