Bad News on Health Care
Remember that raise? Guess where it's going?
Individual insurance premiums would increase by an average of 10 percent or more, according to an analysis of the Senate healthcare bill.
The long-awaited report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) also concluded that subsidies provided by the legislation would make coverage cheaper for those who qualify.
That's from the Congressional Budget Office, the number crunchers who work for Congress. Even they know Obama-care is going to bankrupt the country.
But Obama isn't going to raise taxes on anyone making under $250,000 a year. He'll just raise everything else.

not only is Obama's health care disastrous for the country, Obama himself is one of the most dangerous presidents in modern times....
what do u call a perverted beekeeper???
Fuckabee.
the sooner obama realizes that you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, the better off we will be--- the problem is that he may not realize it until he is voted out of office in three years... by then the damage will be done and will take decades to fix...
Seattle PD just killed Maurice Clemons-we all sleep safer now. Oh, Mike Huckabee rot in hell with him.
O.T. 0554 tues
Fox news reports that Seattle Police have shot and killed the person responsible for the assassination of the 4 Lakewood Police Officers.
just wanted to say thanks for taking 100 off the top of my uniform check. guess i won't be getting that new vest to protect myself. thanks mr. mayor. you suck!
Maybe the suburban fuck-faces in Virginia, Wisconsin, North Carolina, etc... who voted for this asshole will figure it out now.
It's a simple, fucking, wealth transfer. Period.
It will tax your insurance to pay for the all the usual suspects, including illegal aliens, who vote 90% plus Democratic all the time.
You have to call, write, and e-mail Senators like Evan Bayh-IN, Blanche Lincoln-AR,Joe Lieberman-CT, Ben Nelson-NE to stop this. They're all up for re-election soon and are vulnerable, except Lieberman who doesn't like the bill on principle.
Don't waste your time contacting that plow beast from LA, Mary Landrieu, she already took her bribe before the cloture vote and doesn't come up for reelection til 2014.
JUSTICE IS SERVED!
The murderer of 4 PO's in Washington State has been shot and killed by police. Great job by our brothers and sisters there! No court, no liberal apologists lamenting in court about how unfortunate the assassins' life has been and how no one cared about him as a child and gee, the poor man was misunderstood, etc. etc.
F*ck him and his friends and family who have reportedly aided and abetted his flight from law enforcement since his assassination of the officers. He will now be judged in the afterlife where no bleeding hearts can champion his cause as they did for Mumia Abu-Jamal (who was convicted and sentenced to death for the December 9, 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner), or Rubin "Hurricane" Carter who was convicted twice for the murder of three people.
This one ended the way it should have. Now let everyone grieve for the REAL victims here, the heroes in uniform and their families. God bless them and all who do this thankless job!
.
The police killed that jagoff from Seattle this morning. Hopefully they prosecute his shit stain relatives.
Insurance companies are aware of all this and are acting accordingly. Health insurance for people on the contract I'm on OCONUS went from $40 a month to $110 a month, and if you don't select a new option before the cutoff date, you go automatically into a catastrophic plan that is only $25 but has a $10K deductible. By sheer coincidence, the website you are supposed to use to update your choice is not working or gives error messages all the time. They know what's up.......
OT: The killer of the four officers in Lakewood, WA was tracked down and killed by police this morning in Seattle. No more details at this time.
The Daley tax formula goes to Washington.
---not a cop
Just know who your Congressman is. Rep. Mike Quigley voted for this atrocity. He has a large population of police officers and there families in his district. Just make sure to talk to your family what politicians are not making decisions for your best interests. I am sure not one in my family will vote for this Nobama puppet.
obamacare= typical democrat bullshit wherein ''they'' know what is the best for us. also...lets ruin a system that 85% of the people agree with. arent you glad you voted for socialism? works great!
Nobama will go down as the worse President ever. This guy is fueling alot of anger in this country. I really believe there will be some type of revolt. People are getting pissed off with Washington believing they're playing with monopoly money instead of money that comes hard working Americans!!
I have written and e-mailed Burris and Durbin, but those two are useless. They are a shame on our state. I know we don't have to worry about Burris, but I hope to God people get together and vote out Durbin. I have also contacted my state rep. but he voted for the health care bill.
Between the Health Care and Cap & Trade we are going to be taxed like crazy.
What is wrong with our government? China, Poland, Russia and other countries are doing a lot better because they are following capitalism and are beginning to flourish. But our politicians seem to prefer socialism. God Help Us!
We have to vote these creeps out. There has to be a way to get Pelosi out of office. I have seen articles that say she has had more of her bills passed than the President has. They are comparing her influence to that of the President.
So if it's going to cost all this money, and We the People are all aware of it, why is it still going to get passed?
Pretty soon that line we all won't talk about is going to be crossed. After that we'll have to start considering forcible regime change. We're on our way to being slaves, and everyone's oblivious.
A couple days before my wife and I got married she got a letter from her private insurance carrier that her premium was going up almost 20%.
All you liberals wanted him. Now you got him!!!!!
"According to CBO, average premiums in the individual market would increase 10 to 13 percent because of provisions in the Senate health care bill, but, crucially, most people (about 57 percent) would actually find themselves paying significantly less money for insurance, thanks to federal subsidies for low- and middle-class consumers, than they would under current law.
Those are two separate findings, but it seems likely that Republicans will use the former finding to attack reform, claiming it will raise people's premiums, and leave people confused about the second finding, which is actually the one that impacts people's pocket books."
Undo Obama!
SCC or anyone off topic but requesting asistance.
Lately we have been finding small ziplock baggies in our alleys and sidewalks. This is a very new thing on our blocks. Just a couple every couple of days. Noticed while raking leaves and prepping the house for winter. Our families are in our yards alot so this is a very new thing. Likely I know these are crack baggies but is there a cheap MacGuyver way to prove they are crack baggies?
THANK YOU TO ALL THE SCUM WHO VOTED FOR THIS. Democrats are rotten to the core.
any cost projections given are low and designed to suck people in.
anyone heard of cost overruns ? ..... triple the 1st number.
this country is broke and the additional revenue from universal health care and cap and trade taxes will help ensure those responsible don't pay.
Ah, the truth comes out. It's people who've been responsible and kept themselves insured, either through employment or private insurance, who are paying the price of ObamaCare.
Yup, "play by the rules" as the politicians say, and you get screwed in favor of those who haven't bothered to play by the rules.
"Individual insurance premiums would increase by an average of 10 percent or more, according to an analysis of the Senate healthcare bill."
Hey guys, my health insurance premium (Blue Cross Blue Shield HMO) at my job with a small biz here in the city DOUBLED last year, and will likely do the same this year since we have a couple of employees with some big claims. The boss has made it clear she cannot absorb these costs w/o letting people go so we have to suck it up. It amounted to about a 3 percent pay cut for me last year.
The assholes that voted for Obama are now getting their lunch..wait and see when the democrats cut Medicare and your parents , aunts , uncles grandparents suffer from less nedical care
(OT) With health care maybe someone needs to have our sgts shape up, umm donuts! http://www.chicagosergeants.org/photosgolfouting0901.html
Could we please have a post about the different insurance options we have and what they cost. What is good what is bad. What is better if you have children and/or if your single. Thankyou.
WAY OT, sorry
New CPS admissions policy blasted as racist
Black aldermen say it gives elite seats from blacks to whites
A new admissions policy for elite Chicago public schools is little more than a plot to free up seats for middle-class white families tired of paying private school tuition, black aldermen charged Monday.
WE PAY THE F-ING TAXES!!!!!!!
F U !!!!!!
I really HATE that MOTHER FUCKER! My mother would get really mad when we used the word HATE. She said you can dislike someone but never hate. Im sorry mama but I REALLY DO.
Start writing letters don't be typical cop complainer who does nothing about it. We need a health care tea party
CONGRATULATIONS, SCC! You're #3 in Chicago behind the CPS and CTA.

Maybe you should learn to read and comprehend what you are reading and then try to think for yourself. The information is easily available.
".....but, crucially, most people (about 57 percent) would actually find themselves paying significantly less money for insurance, thanks to federal subsidies for low- and middle-class consumers, than they would under current law.

AND FROM WHENCE, PRAY TELL, WOULD THOSE 'federal subsidies' BE COMING FROM?
AND IN WHAT MANNER WOULD THAT 'impact people's pocketbooks'?
AND PRECISELY WHOSE POCKETBOOKS' WOULD BE 'impacted'?
The working man/woman pays for those who have found it easier to avoid work and paying their way. After many, many generations of this crap they feel that they are entitled to a free ride without responsibilities. It has always been, and will always be the way of the useless/Democrats.

I certainly hope the republicans do exactly that. I do not want to pay more so that someone else can pay less. I also do not want to stop you from paying more so you can pay for my increase as well.

It's a little late for that. The open enrollment period is closed for the year.
What do you expect from a one term president?
They're going to shove the "health care" bill down our throats! If that's the case....we want the same "health care" as all those Senators have!! OH! we will NEVER see that happen!! Why?....Because they make the rules up. I say, "I want my ball and bat back"!!
Out of control health insurance companies are to blame for this mess. Insurance companies can set whatever rates they want, they can deny any clains they don't want to pay and the costs are absorbed by us.....
Insurance company CEOs sure make a lot of dough... does health care belong in the hands of money grubbing big business? Hell no
If only these mooks would listen to their people!! This isn't a health care bill! This is plain rape!! Rape against the middle class, which, soon, very soon, will not exist!! If you for a minute that the rich will foot the bill, I need some of your drugs then, because that ain't gonna happen!! The Democrats are known to give to anyone and everyone that that hasn't paid into the system and these people know this and they know how to work the system. So when this bill passes.......grab your ankles and hold on tight!! This time your gonna feel it....but good!! This timer its gonna really hurt!!
"Insurance company CEOs sure make a lot of dough... does health care belong in the hands of money grubbing big business? Hell no
12/02/2009 01:23:00 PM"
but, of course, it does belong in the hands of money grubbing big government, right?
We need a Constitutional Amendment requiring all members of Congress to be covered by the same crap sandwich healthcare that they want to foist on us.

Those horrible CEO's put a lot of money in the pockets of stockholders, which are you and me.

Hold your horses Milo. The next mope will be even worse. What we don't need is another tee party (ask Tiger). If you're saying it's time to throw all that Chi-knees made Wal-Mart crap we've been buying for the last thirty years into the ocean and start changing the way we ALL live, I agree.
Our standard of living in the good old U.S. of A. has been propped up by too many bullshit get rich schemes of our own making. 30+ percent of our country's manufacturing base has disappeared in the last 30 years yet Wall Street keeps humming along. No one was asking how that could be as long as the 401k returns were good and housing profits were exploding. As long as the cheap foreign shit kept flowing across our borders, who really cared if a thousand people in Newton, IA got shitcanned. "Our" jobs and pay will always be secure. Right?
The politicians feed us what we want to eat, and sweet-tasting bullshit has been the only thing on the menu since Kennedy got half his head blown off. America's ability to spend our grandkids futures away and our own inability to admit we all have to live within our means fuels the fire.
Ask yourself -- do you want security or prosperity for America? Do you want America to save the world from itself or have $$$ for you and yours? America can't have both. The day is quickly approaching when America won't be able to have either.
The enemy is already past the gate and living amongst us. He's not Al-Qaeda. He isn't living in Roseland or Lawndale either.
Look in the mirror.
