U.S. Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack

Hi, I have some important news to share with you.

This week, we delivered on a promise.   The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to repeal government-run health care which was signed into law by President Obama in 2010 without any input from Republicans.   While it’s uncertain what will happen in the U.S. Senate, it’s time to go back to the drawing board and start over.  And we should begin by observing one important golden rule: the doctor-patient relationship is sacred.   Decisions about treatment options should be made by patients and their families – not by bureaucrats in Washington.   Instead, let’s do something novel: let’s take the best ideas of both Republicans and Democrats and give Americans the kind of common-sense reforms that enjoy wide-spread support here in California and across our nation.

Bono Mack:  Partisan Health Care Overhaul is Wrong Approach

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Emphasizing overwhelming opposition to the partisan health care bill to initiate a government-run overhaul of America’s health care system, Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack (CA-45) today sent a letter to the President and Congressional Democrat leadership calling for a meaningful, bipartisan approach that will make health care more affordable and accessible to the American people. 

 

“Congress should be focused on improving our health care system for every day Americans, not on scoring political points and pursuing a massive overhaul of health care that Americans have clearly rejected,” said Bono Mack.  “The Majority has the opportunity to do the right thing and work with all Members of Congress on health care reforms that are in the best interest of the American people, instead of putting the government in charge of medical decisions that should be made by patients and their doctors.

 

“As the daughter and granddaughter of physicians and Representative for a district that would greatly benefit from real health care reform, I urge the Majority leadership to reconsider this reckless decision to move ahead with such a partisan and fundamentally flawed piece of legislation.  This is not the ‘bipartisan’ approach that was promised. 

“It is my hope that the Majority changes direction and reaches beyond partisan politics to craft a more balanced and effective bill that improves our health care system at a price we can afford.”

Issa Plays Hardball

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) last week, outlined his common sense health care solution, H.R. 3438, “the Access to Insurance for All Americans Act,” with Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s “Hardball.”

We Can Help Those Who Cannot Afford Insurance
“I don’t speak for my party; I do speak for the 49th Congressional District. I can tell you that if we had a bill before us that said we would augment, in all 50 states, people who cannot afford insurance through a means testing, we would come up with a scheme to augment them – like we do with SCHIP and some other areas…as long as they really can’t afford it, we’re willing to help and those who can afford it should be told they better buy it and stop going to emergency rooms saying they have no insurance.”

Health Care

Earlier this week, the President made his final push for passage of his new health care plan, pointedly telling Congress he wants to see its passage before Spring district work period in April.  That’s only three weeks away.

Recent polling data, however, shows a majority of Americans are still against  government intrusion into their health care. It seems that Democratic Members are taking notice, as the number of retirements in the party continues to rise.

Seasoned former White House speechwriter for President Reagan, Peggy Noonan, even called this past year a “disaster,” in a recent article that I think is worth your time to read.

“What a Disaster Looks Like”
Peggy Noonan  (The Wall Street Journal Op-Ed)
March 5, 2010

It is now exactly a year since President Obama unveiled his health care push and his decision to devote his inaugural year to it—his branding year, his first, vivid year.

What a disaster it has been.

At best it was a waste of history’s time, a struggle that will not in the end yield something big and helpful but will in fact make future progress more difficult. At worst it may prove  . . . Continue

District Update | February 10, 2010

Serving the 25th District of California
Article of Interest: Health Care
The government take-over of health care has stalled in Congress for now, in large part thanks to you, your friends and your neighbors who took a stand against it.  Thank you for your involvement.

While the House and Senate bills have stalled, certain portions of those bills may be voted on individually or rolled into other bills, so we need to be more vigilant than ever as the health care debate continues.

I found an interesting article that I wanted to share with you by Mort Kondracke, Executive Editor of Roll Call, that discusses certain portions of these bills. Kondracke explains why the Congressional Democrats’ version of health care reform will result in higher premiums for those with insurance.

Voters Are Right: They’ll Pay a Lot for Health Care Reform
By Morton M. Kondracke
Roll Call Executive Editor

The White House and liberal think tanks insist that health care reform will lower costs, but the public isnt buying it – and for good reasons.

Practically every aspect of the bills Democrats are considering – from covering the uninsured to taxes on providers, insurance reforms and Medicare cuts – will result in higher premiums for those with insurance. And unless Congress is willing to impose stricter cost controls than presently contemplated, many experts think there’s little chance of bending the curve of national health outlays or premiums.
