OBAMACARE: HAZARDOUS TO OUR HEALTH

(Washington, DC) – The following statement was given today by Jim Martin, Chairman of the 60 Plus Association, on the occasion of the “Road to Repeal Rally” on Capitol Hill.


  • My name is Jim Martin, and on behalf of our 7.1 million senior supporters nationwide, I’m here representing the 60 Plus Association.
  • For 20 years we have been the conservative alternative to the liberal AARP—you  know, the group that put their arms around the President and gave him political cover by endorsing Obamacare—the Un-Affordable Care Act.
  • Now the AARP—the Association Against Retired Persons—says it is on a listening tour, but did they listen to the voice of tens of millions of seniors who said “NO—we don’t want Obamacare?”
  • Don’t you believe it! They turned off their hearing aids and turned their backs. Their reward from the liberal Democrats was getting an Obamacare waiver.
  • Well Mr. President, I’m here today to demand you give America’s seniors the same treatment you give the AARP, in fact give ALL Americans a lifetime waiver from Obamacare!
  • Well we know that won’t happen—so we’re taking matters into our own hands.
  • The people are speaking loud and clear, and thanks to YOUR efforts, Obamacare is on life support, now it is our job to pull the plug!  It’s bad medicine—hazardous to our health.
  • Obamacare is the biggest threat to the health care of every American, and it’s the most serious attack on our individual liberties ever enacted.
  • I’d like to remind many of you seniors out there, two years ago 60 Plus predicted to the liberals on Capitol Hill there would be a SENIOR CITIZEN TSUNAMI that would come ashore, taking dozens of pro-Obamacare legislators with them.
  • That’s exactly what happened—more than 60 pro-Obamacare members were given a one-way ticket home, and had to update their resumes.
  • 2012 will be no different, a second SENIOR CITIZEN TSUNAMI is on its way, with dozens more Obamacare supporters in Congress about to get a one way ticket back home—including one noteworthy person heading back to Chicago!
  • So fellow patriots, the 60 Plus Association salutes you for your fight on behalf of our liberties and future generations.
  • Can we repeal Obamacare? WE MUST.  And:  YES. WE. CAN!!
