I posted this picture of Fort Monmouth just to remind Pallone what he DIDN'T do. He should be "proud" of losing this base on his watch. Over 20,000 jobs were lost. If ANYONE believes this joker, I have a bridge to sell you!!!

Hod do you people keep electing this guy?

This fool was beaten in Monmouth County by Anna Little in the last congressional race. Let's get rid of him for good in Nov. Obamacare will break the back of our proud country. Say NO to socialism. To those same senior citizens in today's story, think of your grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

I heard someone recently say that the costs associated with the migration of work to APG and other facilities ended up costing triple the projections. The American taxpayer, specifically anyone living or working in and around the Tinton Falls area, got royally screwed. The loss of economic revenue to the surrounding communities equals higher property taxes.

GEE I voted for Ann, because I knew Palone was a Phoney, I tried to get medical insurnace problem solved with his Dumb as--staff,{YOU never get to talk to His Highness} the staff filters you out!! Biggest bunch of Li--rs in New Jersey!!

Get over the Fort! My goodness that land is some of the most expensive real estate in the nation, that's why it was closed, right now major behind the scene deals are developing to slice that piece of pie....

You people are what is wrong with this country. You say that you don't want a welfare nation, well take a good look at the military. It is bloated beyond belief and creates a lot of welfare families that live off of Uncle Sam who spends our tax dollars like a drunken sailor. After 8 years of the Bush tax cuts and two needless wars that have not been paid for, We do not need bases all over the US or the world. If you haven't noticed, we are being surpassed by China, India, and Brazil as the new super powers. Oh and just to rub it in, capitalistic Russia is still a super power. And Obama is just continuing with the Bush policies and worse. A failed war that will be kept going until 2014. And your ready to hand over the keys to the next party stooge, Oh. but don't close our base.

The Affordable Care Act, President Obama's health-care overhaul passed by Congress last year, was designed to make it easier for Americans in situations like Verone's to get health insurance BTW check "Penny Health" for more information

"I've been suggesting...that if you really want to fix this long term, you use the war dividend. Use the money we are saving from pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan," Pallone said.

Spend and keep spending Mr. Pallone!! Maybe the "savings" from pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan should be used to pay down the national debt. He loves to spend. Millions on unnecessary beach replenishment projects that are now costing taxpayers more money because channels off Sandy Hook are being filled in by the sand from the beach replenishment and need to be dredged.

Mr. Pallone along with all his associates in DC (both sides of the eisle and the middle) have failed the American people.

Bob, thanks for informing us that the cost of Obamacare will go down due to brilliant planning by the Feds. I understand the Easter Bunny supplied you with this latest information via Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Pallone, "Two Peas In a Pod!"

Info I posted is from the non partisan Congressional Budget Office....sorry if the facts get in the way of want you want to believe. Note the numbers you mentioned in your post totally ignore the revenue side.

Bob, what revenue side?

Ok, let's examine the stupidity of Pallone's statement. If they go to see Dr's sooner then their care is going to cost more, assuming the preventive visit is positive., second, the cost of the care is not going down it is increasing exponentially and the act does nothing to control that and third and most important,,people without skin in the game fail to care for themselves and or view their care as a right despite what they do to their own health!. It is very similar to someone speeding and driving without car insurance or no fault insurance, thy simply don't care or exercise caution!

Bob, posting an entire health bill is not the same as you telling me where in that bill there is revenue! The bill is a disaster that is going to wreck our economy.

ok, stud, how much then spare me the 10 seconds...

Guffaw! Anyone ever heard of "cost shifting?" That's how health insurance reform will save in the long run. What we cannot afford to do is nothing. In New Jersey alone, 3.3 million people no longer have a lifetime limit on coverage; 628,000 women have seen their coverage for preventive services like mammograms expanded; 876,000 seniors and people with disabilities who have Medicare have already received free preventive care; and 69,000 young people who would otherwise be uninsured are staying on their parents' insurance plans until they turn 26. That way the growing ranks of the uninsured stop hitting the hospitals for free care and raising the costs of the insured. WSJ has their own twisted agenda.

I am a health care professional NOT in the public sector. ANSWER THE QUESTION versus shooting at the messenger "ad hominem."

a health care professional is a public sector employee in the great socialist state of NJ. there is no competition, you live off the rate increases of the government.

In addition Tony, at what cost are these wonderful events you describe? The same coud have been done with HSA accounts and a fraction of the costs. You do read the news? Can you say Greece?

Meridain Health is a non-profit corporate entity. My paycheck comes from Meridian. Yeah, yeah...Subject, verb, and "socialist" is all you got. Go back to school. The government pays hospitals only for the uninsured they mandate we treat. HSA accounts are from contributions of employees. You sure are ignorant. No wonder you come to such wacky conclusions. Get your facts straight. Read a book once in awile instead of listening to FOX "news."

The Health Care Accounts I'm referring to Mr. Insurance Expert (does you last name begin with a "P" and end in an "O" ?) are all employee contributions and deducted pre-pay. Don't know what you're referring to, but that's what I was referring to. Nice way to duck the issue. Okay, so I get it, you are ABP: anybody but Pallone. Anna Little has done just that in her career, little. Yeah, right: I'm a health care professional without college? That should be scarey. Think you need a check up from the neck up.

Yes HSA"S. Now why is it that Congressman Holt wants nothing to do with HSA 's? In fact, despises them? Because he is a socialist! His favorite word is Government program.....

You want to discuss health care. Tell us how Charity Care is ripping NJ off by millions of dollars every year!

Joe if you want to see health care along with welfare costs go up, take away birth control from the poorest of women. Do you know what happens when you take birth control away from poor people? You end up with a lot more poor people!

Joe -- an HSA *is* a government program. Think about it. Nothing prevents you from saving your money for health care costs, no government action necessary. An HSA is government exempting that $$ from taxation. So it's a government program -- a government policy that favors one outcome over another. A tax expenditure. Call it what you will.

Tony, do yourself a favor and get out of the HEALTH CARE FIELD!

Tony you are an embarrassment to Meridian!

Hey Tony, Just how is that "mandatory" auto insurance working out there in NJ land.......oh wait, the illegals don't buy it........ gee....

and another thing Tony, what your hospitals did with Charity care to the taxpayers of NJ for the last 30 years should be criminal!

a staff pharmacist..... please spare me!
