Revised Numbers on Health Bill Add Up to Mess for U.S. Taxpayers Administration's Own Actuary Warns About the Democrats' Legislation The Obama administration's Chief Actuary at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released another stark and sobering reminder about the consequences of the $2.5 trillion tax —and-spend Senate health care bill that was jammed through Congress before Christmas by a rare and divisive partisan vote. Among other things, the report indicates the Senatepassed bill will increase health care costs, reduce access and expand bankrupt entitlement programs. Hatch, RUtah, said that is not acceptable. "Poll after poll is warning us about our constituents' rising anger against this big government takeover of the health care system, while study after study is cautioning us about the failure of this $2.5 trillion bill to do anything about rising health care costs." Hatch said. "This bill is written proof of the destruction that will be levied by this partisan health care bill which does little to address the number one issue facing our health care system — rising costs. In fact, according to the administration's own actuary, this bill will hike health care costs. It is an ill-conceived smorgasbord of unconstitutional mandates, higher taxes and bigger federal bureaucracies that is being melded behind bolted doors with an even bigger monstrosity passed by the House." According to the report, the Senate-passed bill would: • Increase national health spending by $222 billion and increase federal health spending by $279 billion over the next decade. • Reduce the number of Americans with employer-sponsored coverage by 17 million. • Raise taxes on individuals by $34 billion for failing to purchase Washington-defined health care coverage. • Raise taxes on businesses by $37 billion for failing to provide coverage at a time when our unemployment rate stagnates in double digits. • Expand a bankrupt Medicaid program by 18 to 34 million individuals on the backs of states that are collectively facing $200 billion in deficits. • Raise taxes on almost 35 million insured workers by the end of the next decade as more and more Americans get devoured by the high-cost plan threshold. • Reduce access for millions of seniors as almost 20 percent of Part A providers would become unprofitable within the next decade due to the Medicare cuts. "This bill makes a of mockery of the pledges widely touted over the last few years by candidates for public office who had promised to exercise fiscal responsibility and promote transparency. There is still time to do the right thing and start over and jettison this partisan mess," Hatch said. InoygRAtiourrci ,..si REINING IN FERAL HORSE POPULATION OBITUARIES The United Organizations of the Horse (UOH) applauds the efforts of federal officials to control the overpopulation of wild horses on public lands, and urges the enactment of responsible policies for the management and disposition of excess horses. The UOH, a nationwide coalition working in the best interests of horses and horse owners, and for the rejuvenation of the equine industry, is the largest organization of its kind in the U.S. Its members and supporters are petitioning Congress to support the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in its mission to manage public lands, not supervise a "welfare state" for excess feral horses held captive and warehoused in private feedlots and holding facilities off of public lands at enormous taxpayer expense. "The BLM's primary directive is to manage the land, to establish and maintain a sustainable balance of resources on public lands, including wild horses, native wildlife, grazing, fisheries, forests, energy development, and recreation," said Sue Wallis, UOH Executive Director. "It should not be using its taxpayer resources to support excess animals of any species." The BLM currently pays for the care of some 32,000 wild horses in short- and long-term holding facilities, at a taxpayer cost of $29 million in fiscal 2009-more than 70 percent of the agency's total budget for the Wild Horse and Burro Program. Although the agency strives to place horses in the hands of qualified owners, the demand for adoptions has plummeted in the current economic downturn, and has never come close to the annual natural increase of the herds. Left unchecked, feral horse herds will roughly double their population every four years. Although the BLM estimates the current free-roaming horse population at 37,000, recent evidence from the General Accounting Office proves that the herds have been under-counted. In addition, the BLM routinely gathers significantly more horses than expected during scheduled roundups at any of its 108 Herd Management Areas. The UOH unwaveringly supports the presence of properly-managed wild horses on public lands.However, the unchecked growth of feral herds has severely upset the environmental balance on public, private and tribal lands. Paired with the mounting numbers of unwanted domestic horses, many turned out to fend for themselves and dying of starvation on public and tribal lands, equine overpopulation has reached crisis proportions in the U.S.. Besides removing the excess horses to reassert a proper balance on the ranges, the UOH advocates the BLM adhere to responsible management practices such as: Holding wild horses in captivity for a maximum of 90 days. If they cannot be sold, adopted or otherwise permanently disposed of within that time they should be sold without restriction to the highest bidder. All revenue should be rolled back into the Wild Horse and Burro Program to better manage the wild herds and the resource base. Restore humane and regulated equine processing facilities, to provide federal, state, and local agencies; tribal groups and the general public an option for humane disposal of unwanted excess horses, without needless taxpayer expense or needless suffering for horses otherwise likely to face starvation or abandonment. n GOOD NEIGHBOR PHARMACY' • uitchDru.

Marianne has served as an EMT the last three years. She also was a great supporter of the Panguitch sports programs and the Rodeo team.

This is the time of year the Federal Government do their hiring of seasonal fire fighters, this is a well paying job, but you need to be physical fit. You have to walk 3 miles with a 40 pound back pack, in a certain amount of time time. Also Bryce Canyon does their hiring at this time of the year. Saturday I attended a training class out at Ruby's Inn. There were 97 volunteers from all over Garfield County in attendance; they were EMTs, Firefighters, and Search and Rescue. The training was excellent, and everyone is to be commended for giving up their Saturday for the good of the County. Panguitch has a new ambulance. It will take the place of 501 which will go out to Escalante. 501 is the first out ambulance in Panguitch and is used to do the transporting of patients to other hospitals and usually puts on about 30,000 miles a year. Keep the good stuff coming. Mack 0. mackoetting@gmail.com |
