21 of 28 MRP Michigan House Reps can change vote on MI Medicaid Bill~

Copy and paste:

Mi CPAC Norm Hughes~
The senate version of HB4714 goes back to the House, perhaps as early as Tuesday. Will we try to get 21 of the 28 Republicans who voted for it to switch their votes?

Legislators have been lied to,. The Governor and lobbyists have been spun a tale of unreimbursed indigent care. Hospitals pay no property, income or sales taxes to provide millions of dollars for indigent care. They double dip by overcharging paying patients and insurance companies for the same expenses, and now they will triple dip at the expense of our children and grand children. Let them know we care about our children and their increasing national debt, and that we object to health care special interests getting rich off our kids.

Medicaid expansion not only replicates and enforces Federal controls, waste and fraud, Medicaid has a record of poorer results compared to private insurance*. We are already spending more tax dollars per capita on health care than socialized medicine nations such as England and Canada. As typical, government seems to pile on instead of reviewing and cutting back programs that are not efficient or required under our founding documents. In this case it further entrenches ObamaCare when we need to be using all measures to diminish its impact and scope, until it can ultimately be nullified.
The "Affordable Care Act" received some conservative support under the ruse that it was about slowing the increase in health care costs. We know that has not been the result. Most of Michigan's major healthcare societies are embracing Medicaid expansion as a vehicle to get more money for their practices and hospitals, not as a vehicle for greater efficiency or improved care. I understand a hidden bonus for them is they will get compensated at Medicare rates that is higher than Medicaid rates. I think we have an antitrust issue here. When you are entrenched in a dangerous hole the first thing to do is stop digging.

As we see it this is a line-in-the-sand issue for conservative grass roots. We cannot see how any legislator or governor who believes in limited government could possibly support such an expansion. This separates statesmen from politicians. At some point principles must come first and we cannot keep piling debt on our children and grandchildren. You have been a beneficiary of this huge grass roots effort. The grass roots that gave Republicans big majorities in 2010 and 2012 are most upset about this particular issue. This expansion is contrary to the state and national Parties on which you ran. We hope you will not abandon those who have done so much for YOU.
It is impossible to approach the consideration of adding 470,00 or more Michigan residences to an “entitlement” program without considering the philosophical reality that this is a clear choice between enlarging government, or not. How much government is acceptable, and will this be the straw that breaks the camel’s back? As President Reagan said: “There is nothing on earth so eternal as a government program.” Once the spigot is turned on it is almost impossible to turn back, or improve.

The Minimum Wage in 2013

The minimum wage-

Almost as unconscionable as leaving federal taxes embedded in domestic product price when going to free trade this 30 years, the period in which we lost our manufacturing industry.

Now we are to the point where not only do we have the Federal government have a track record of maintaining an unemployment pool high enough to keep workers lined up at the door to hire, but now we have a communist law that tells employers they don't have to hire for more then this minimum wage or pay more.

When the Minimum Wage act was created, the same standard of living today demands $15.08 as a minimum wage.  As you can see, making such an adjustment will counter even more of slowing down this decline.

The cure is:

FairTax and the poor, middle class, all classes

Today, the average embedded Federal Taxes in the price of domestic goods is about 22%.  In service price it is 29%.  The poor are paying for taxes already paid, with our money.

Under FairTax the prebate plan makes all spending on essential goods, spending that is under the ceiling of poverty, tax free.  No embedded taxes and no federal taxes.  That means spending on essential goods will drop 17% to 24%, with workers keeping their gross pay.

FairTax is a voluntary tax, meaning you only pay when you can afford to and only when buying new goods and services.  The cost of services will go down and for the most part the cost of American goods with the FairTax will remain about the same, with one difference, your only going to pay federal taxes once, not twice like we do now, from our pay and when buying.  We will also see the price of domestic goods gain a 17% advantage over imports, meaning more jobs then workers.

As FairTax kicks in the use of safety nets will dwindle to nothing with jobs for everyone.  This will help the poor gain on their personal prosperity.  Our current sharing of wealth communism structure is failing as we head for the fiscal cliff.  The poor do not want to view the landscape after we fail nor does anyone.

Poor up to the upper middle class will prosper under FairTax.  Here is a chart on what FairTax will cost you based on your spending for new goods and services, not on how much you earn:
