WASHINGTON, DC By a slim margin, the House of Representatives on Saturday night passed a bill meant to overhaul the nation’s health care system.
The 220 to 215 vote on HR 3962, Affordable Health Care for America Act, was taken late Saturday evening, and fell largely along party lines, although 39 Democrats voted no and one Republican Rep. Joseph Cao of Louisiana voted yes, according to C-SPAN.
Tonight, in an historic vote, the House of Representatives passed a bill that would finally make real the promise of quality, affordable Healthcare for the American people, President Obama said. The United States Senate must follow suit and pass its version of the legislation. I am absolutely confident it will, and I look forward to signing comprehensive health insurance reform into law by the end of the year.

How John LaBruzzo Wants To End Welfare Abuse
http://www.corrupt.org/news/labruzzo_and_corrupt_campaign_for_welfare_reforms
How can we get more people who rely on government to have fewer children who rely on government?
This was the question John LaBruzzo, Republican State Representative from Louisiana, posed in public media to provoke a debate around the function of welfare in a healthy society. Eventually LaBruzzo was removed from his position as Vice Chairman of the House Health and Welfare Committee.
Why was John LaBruzzo deemed so dangerous that he had to be removed? The answer is that he dared to express an inconvenient truth. Louisiana has one of the most widespread state welfare programs in the United States, and not coincidentally, one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy; 20% higher than average. Statistics paint a bleak picture of welfare abusers with drug problems spanning generations. Louisiana is lagging behind the national average in terms of school dropouts, teen pregnancy, children in poverty without health insurance (nearly 10%), and lack of proficiency in reading and math.
Like every person defending an offensive truth in our society, LaBruzzo soon came to face the anger of the mob. What motivated him to declare what some consider a radical plan of eugenics was the parasitism seen after Hurricane Katrina:
“After this recent storm, we had some issues where these people were going into shelters and taking their cigarettes and welfare but didn’t have diapers or insulin for diabetic[s]they felt they were entitled to say, ‘Give me, give me.’ [They] didn’t want to set up cots or anything.”
LaBruzzo spoke for people who are tired of draining productive members of society with tax money in order to support people who chronically need the government to babysit them. As vice chairman of the Welfare Committee, he was in a unique leadership position to change welfare policy.
LaBruzzo offered some controversial solutions, such as offering $1,000 for recipients to be sterilized, and rewarding recipients without children. Fully aware of the fact that intelligent people have fewer children and later in life, LaBruzzo realized that this is the group we should be supporting. Throwing money at people who dont care about their own future or that of their community, LaBruzzo argued, is like feeding a pig with an open belly.
In a healthy society, LaBruzzos realizations would be law, rather than an offense. These issues need pragmatic solutions like those supported by LaBruzzo and CORRUPT.org.

Insurance Companies Confess in Court: “We Wouldn’t Pay a Dime” . . . unless sued!
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, insurance companies shifted wind damage claims to the National Flood Insurance Program that should have been covered by their own homeowners policies.
On June 9, 2009, the Mississippi Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the interpretation of the industrys anti-concurrent causation (ACC) clauses, which are buried deep inside homeowners insurance policies. The attorney for Nationwide, Christopher Landau, told the Supreme Court that Nationwide applies the ACC clause to exclude coverage of all damage caused by hurricane winds if subsequent flooding was sufficient to have caused the damage anyway.
In response to questioning, Landau answered that even if a house were 95 percent destroyed by winds before any flooding, Nationwide wouldnt pay a dime to the policyholder if the flooding was severe enough to have destroyed the house anyway.
Following this public admission in court, Rep. Gene Taylor (D-MS) explains how his proposed Multiple Peril Insurance Act solves this burdensome homeowner insurance crisis impacting Coastal Americans.

Rep Wasserman Schultz asks: Where Is The Republican Health Plan?
it has been more than 100 days since Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO), the point man for the rumored Republican alternative health reform plan said I guarantee you we will provide you with a bill.
Even Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal urged his party Tuesday to work with Democrats to offer health care solutions.
The time to act on health insurance reform is now. We must act to offer the choice of affordable quality health care to all Americans, putting you and your doctor—not the insurance companies—in charge of your health care while we reduce the burden of ballooning health care costs on American families, businesses and our fiscal future.
No is not a solution.
Saying you support reform with no evidence of that support and no plan, just doesnt cut it.
Continuing to say no to reform leaves tens of millions of Americans without health insurance, and 45,000 Americans die every year because of this.
Our friends on the other side of the aisle cant run away from the fact that they have no plan.
The time to act on health insurance reform is now.

Landrieu on Health Care Gender Discrimination
Senator Landrieu was one of nine women Democratic Senators to take to the senate floor on October 8, 2010 to address the issue of gender discrimination in health care.
Because women require more regular contact with their doctors during their reproductive years, they are regularly charged higher premiums than men. 40 states, including Louisiana, and the District of Columbia allow gender rating, under which insurance companies charge women more for the same coverage as men.
In Louisiana, all of the best selling insurance plans gender-rate, costing women up to 38% more than men who are in the same circumstance, same health and same geographic location.
