A few excerpts from Obama's Health Care Plan
The below excerpts from the propose Bill pending before Congress—are incredible—and important to read below—it will only take you a moment- and then—please communicate to your US Congressional Representatives & US Senators by email– using the below easy link – and let them know what you think and what you want them to do --
While the Health Care System really needs reform, the current bill is not the right thing to do ---
it is an expensive catastrophe in the making.
please take the time to look at a few of the cited points.
This is Brave, New World stuff --- a not good for your health, your health insurance, or the health of our country, if you conceive freedom of choice and liberty, to be a hallmark of living in the USA.
Let's get it right the first time. Please get in contact with your Congressional representatives and US senators
to let them know how you feel.

Following is a partial analysis of the first 472 pages (of the 1051 pages) of the Health Care Reform Bill. This analysis was done by http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/. I did check out several of the statements made below (by noted page and section in the bill) and found that the ones I checked were accurate. Needless to say, I did not check all of them. If you are interested, below is a link to the actual Bill for your reference.
http://docs.house.gov/edlabor/AAHCA-BillText-071409.pdf
I think it is very important for all of us to be informed. To put it mildly, this is a very diabolical and horrific bill and needs to be stopped in all forms and variations!
More on the health plan... from a quick inventory by familysecuritymatters.org
Pg 22 of the HC Bill mandates the Government will audit books of all employers that self insure.
Pg 30 Sec 123 of HC bill — a Government committee will decide what treatments/benefits a person may receive.
Pg 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill — YOUR HEALTHCARE WILL BE RATIONED!
Pg 42 of HC Bill — The Health Choices Commissioner will choose your HC Benefits for you.
PG 50 Section 152 in HC bill — HC will be provided to ALL non US citizens, illegal or otherwise.

Pg 145 Line 15-17 An Employer MUST auto enroll employees into public option plan. NO CHOICE.
Pg 126 Lines 22-25 Employers MUST pay for HC for part time employees AND their families.
Pg 170 Lines 1-3 HC Bill Any NONRESIDENT Alien is exempt from individual taxes. (Americans will pay.)
Pg 195 HC Bill -officers & employees of HC Admin (the GOVERNMENT) will have access to ALL Americans' finances and personal records.
PG 203 Line 14-15 HC — "The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax" Yes, it says that.
Pg 239 Line 14-24 HC Bill Government will reduce physician services for Medicaid. Seniors, low income, poor affected.
Pg 241 Line 6-8 HC Bill — Doctors — doesn't matter what specialty — will all be paid the same.
PG 253 Line 10-18 Government sets value of Doctor's time, professional judgment, etc. Literally, value of humans.

Pg 354 Sec 1177 — Government will RESTRICT enrollment of Special needs people!
PG 425 Lines 4-12 Government mandates Advance Care Planning Consultations. Think Senior Citizens end of life prodding.
PG 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3 Government provides approved list of end of life resources, guiding you in how to die.
PG 427 Lines 15-24 Government mandates program for orders for end of life. The Government has a say in how your life ends.
PG 429 Lines 10-12 "advanced care consultation" may include an ORDER for end of life plans. AN ORDER from the Government to end a life!
Page 472 Lines 14-17 PAYMENT TO COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION. 1 monthly payment to a community-based organization. (Like ACORN?)
This bill would drive unemployment, taxes, and the deficit through the stratosphere. It would turn hospitals into the DMV, dramatically reduce our access to healthcare, let bureaucratic slime decide when it's time for us to die, and guarantee that no one in his right mind goes to medical school. As for the damage this would do to individual liberty, well you decide.

Inside Bodybuilding Female Physique of the Day: Darla Benfield
Healthy 'N Fit Owner Robert Sepe Get Maximum Sententance For Killing His Fiancee
"There is no excuse, no explanation, no apology we accept," said Melissa Smith, the victim's cousin.
Sepe, a Cortlandt businessman, had been convicted of second-degree murder for killing Carlucci - his 41-year-old fiancee - on March 22, 2008, in their home.
The attack happened when Carlucci would not cancel plans to host Easter dinner. She was beaten so badly she had to be identified through dental records.
Sepe, meanwhile, fled upstate to Binghamton, where he kept state police at bay for hours, threatening to kill himself by jumping off an overpass.
Westchester County Judge Barbara Zambelli, who presided over Sepe's trial in May, said it was impossible to imagine the horror Carlucci felt as her pleas for mercy were ignored during the vicious attack. She gave Sepe the maximum sentence allowed by law.
As the judge told Sepe his fate, the victim's teenage daughter, Candice Carlucci, fought back tears as she nodded her head in approval. Outside the courtroom, she threw her arms around her father, Anthony Carlucci, who held her in a comforting embrace.
Sepe, 54, had claimed he suffered from an "extreme emotional disturbance" and testified in his own defense that he was in a frenzied, delusional state when he hit Carlucci. He also testified that he had been taking several prescription medications for panic attacks and depression at that time.
Defense attorney Bruce Bendish asked the judge yesterday for a sentence of 15 years to life, noting Sepe's history with psychological problems.
Read The Full Story Here:
I'm on the road...
in Central Newfoundland. This place is no
5 star resort by any stretch of the
imagination, in fact it could be the
ideal set for a cheesy 70's porno flick LOL
But I don't care because I'm on week long
motorcycle road trip with my girlfriend
Patricia and we only need a place to crash
each night while we are on the road.
http://www.leehayward.com/motorcycle-roadtrip.htm
Over the next week we plan to ride through
Atlantic Canada; going across Newfoundland,
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward
Island, and back again.
Anyway the reason I'm writing is to let you
know that tonight July 30 we are having our
live Total Fitness Bodybuilding Talk Show at:
http://www.LeeHayward.com/tv
I've got a mini laptop here with me and it has
a built in webcam so as long as I have internet
access we'll be good to go.

our live chat show and discuss your plans and
strategies for building muscle and losing fat,
then be sure to tune in tonight July 30 at
8:30 pm eastern time and we can chat then.
http://www.LeeHayward.com/tv

forward to chatting with you later tonight.

Working Out While On The Road...
http://www.leehayward.com/motorcycle-roadtrip.htm
When most people travel they let their bodybuilding and fitness routine go to the wayside, end up skipping workouts, and eating junk.
But it doesn't have to be like this...
Now I admit that traveling does pose a bit of a challenge for sticking to your routine, but with a little planning ahead you can avoid the pitfalls and still make good progress.
In our case we have packed high protein meal replacements and protein bars. Protein supplements can be really helpful for keeping your protein intake high and filling in the nutritional gaps between meals when you are on the road.
We've also packed our gym clothes and sneakers so we'll be able to workout in the hotel gyms along our trip.
Simple planning like this will allow you to still make progress while you are traveling so that when you get back home you can pick up where you left off and set some new personal records in the gym, rather then having to make up for lost progress.
