This Just In! Obama to Serve One Term

Bringing new meaning to Term Limitation the White House just sent this out. Obama will be defeated if he considers running, and many in congress will be hit in the butt with the door coming November 2nd. Interested parties can answer this Email directly. It goes directly to David Axelrod’s Email. Random thoughts while watching self-destruction of the walking dead, J.C. P.S. Number 3 added below!

Good morning,

1 — in every six dollars in the U.S. economy is spent on health care today.¹

If we do nothing, in 30 years, 1 out of every three dollars in our economy will be tied up in the health care system.²

Skyrocketing health care costs aren’t just crippling the U.S. economy — they’re emptying the pocketbooks of American families. If we do not enact health insurance reform, individual and family spending on premiums and out-of-pocket health care costs could increase 79 percent in just 10 years.³

Bottom line: the cost of doing nothing is too high. The time is now to reform our broken health care system.

Good morning,

3 million — that’s the decrease in the number of middle-income earners who obtained health insurance from their employers from 2000 to 2008.¹

And 3 times — is how much faster health care premiums are rising compared to wages.²

While our broken health care system is hurting everyone, it’s the middle class that’s feeling it the most. A report just out from the non-partisan Robert Wood Johnson Foundation shows that the middle class became uninsured at a faster pace than those with less or more income. And if we do nothing, the problem will only get worse.

But there’s hope. Health insurance reform will lower costs and put America’s middle class and small businesses back in the driver’s seat of their own health care. The stakes are just too high for the millions of Americans who are hurting because of the way our current health care system works. The time is now for health insurance reform.
