Hands off Our Health Care Rallies


Before the Senate can use reconciliation to force through a final version of the health care bill, the House will have to pass the unpopular and deal laced Senate health care bill. And we must stop them.

Speaker Pelosi will use every trick in the book to try and find the 216 votes she will need to ram through the health care bill passed "pre-Scott Brown" with 60 votes in the Senate back in December. This will be the key vote.

To combat this health care takeover, Americans for Prosperity is holding a number of "Hands Off Our Health Care Rallies" around the country to send a message to our elected officials. Rallies are planned in the following states, with additional rallies being planned:

Arizona
Indiana
New Jersey
Ohio

Final Health Care Showdown!

Final Health Care Showdown!

The House will soon be asked to vote on the Senate-passed H.R. 3590. This disastrous bill will raise taxes, force Americans to buy expensive insurance they may not want or need, and create over 100 new federal bureaucracies to micromanage decisions of doctors and patients. Take Action Now!

Stop the EPA Powergrab!

Stop the EPA Powergrab!

The Obama administration intends to bypass Congress and implement outrageous global warming regulation of the entire U.S. economy through the EPA.

This week, the president actually said the nation is “waiting for [Washington] to act” on the health care issue. This is arrogance and political posturing at its worst. Like us, the president knows the truth. Every reputable public opinion poll for months has clear majorities of the American people saying “NO” to the health care “reform” coming out of Washington, D.C.

Now is the time to finish the job of protecting this most personal freedom by stopping the Democrats’ Washington takeover of our health care in the U.S. House of Representatives.

One of the more extreme proposals floated early in the national health care debate was the idea of taxing soda and other sugary beverages. That trial balloon was almost immediately shot down by the American public, but the Obama administration is attempting to achieve, by subterfuge, soda taxes and a lot of other ways to micromanage our lives in the name of public health—whether or not ObamaCare passes. The mechanism is buried in last year’s $862-billion-and-counting stimulus bill, and works by diverting hundreds of millions of dollars that should be promoting economic growth to instead pay lobbyists to push for higher taxes and nanny-state controls over our lives.

The Ten Worst Provisions in Senate Health Care Bill

While it would appear that the health care bill is constantly changing, it's actually not. The big upcoming House vote will be on the Senate bill (H.R. 3590), exactly as it passed the Senate on Christmas Eve. It still includes dozens of corrupt special-interest deals like the Cornhusker Kickback, the Louisiana Purchase, Chris Dodd's $100M University of Connecticut Hospital earmark, etc. There are a lot of promises being made right now that the bill will be fixed or improved in various ways after it passes, possibly via reconciliation.
