Top 3 Reasons To Demand Rep Nan Hayworth Recuse Herself!
March 25th, 2011 by catherineRep Nan Hayworth’s Conflict of Interest
If you believe earmarks are bad because they use tax payer dollars to indirectly feed a Congressional representative’s campaign coffers and to generate votes, then you must believe congressional votes cast to directly fuel a congresswoman’s own personal bank account are horrifically bad…maybe even criminal.
That’s exactly what it seems newly elected Republican Rep Nan Hayworth (NY– 19 CD) is doing.
Hayworth is apparently voting in such a way, on specific issues, that directly benefits her own personal financial bottom line, and her husband’s career as the head of a major health care lobbying organization.
Let me explain: Every time Rep Nan Hayworth votes on any aspect of health care that is exactly what she is doing!
Why? Because:
Reason #1: Nan Hayworth is a founding partner of the huge, thriving Mount Kisco Medical Group which is a 235-physician multispecialty medical group;
Reason #2: Hayworth’s husband, Scott, is also a founding partner and President and Chief Executive Officer of the Mount Kisco Medical Group;
Reason #3: Husband Scott is also the Chair of the Board of Directors of the American Medical Group Association, “AMGA’ (perhaps so named as to be easily confused with the AMA, the American Medical Association…) In other words, he is the head guy at a major lobbying organization that-surprise-lobbies on health care.
The American Medical Group Association provides “a comprehensive package of benefits, including political advocacy [code for lobbying],…”AMGA “promote[s] policymakers' and lawmakers' awareness…”
“Through our efforts, members are assured that their interests are represented before many audiences, including Congress and federal agencies, in addition to other healthcare organizations and interest groups.” These are direct quotations from the AMGA website, with italics added.
Translation: Nan Hayworth’s husband is the head lobbyist who has personal access to a congresswoman—his wife—on issues that directly benefit their/her pocketbook.
He’s not just making money for them as a lobbyist.
She—Rep Nan Hayworth—is making money for them personally each time…
***She votes for the Pence bill to cut all funding to Planned Parenthood and all of their cancer screenings, STI testing, birth control and more;
***She votes to cut all Title X funding and thus the family planning services provided to approximately five million women and men;
***She votes to overturn the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Those patients have to go somewhere…maybe to one of the more than 113,000 physicians who practice in AMGA member organizations or…to the Hayworth’s very own Mount Kisco Medical Group.
Hayworth keeps proving her husband’s power as a lobbyist and her ability as a founding partner to keep bringing money home, literally.
This must be illegal….no?
“GOP Bill Would Force IRS to Conduct Abortion Audits”
March 20th, 2011 by catherineStop The Insanity! This Extremist Anti-Choice Congress Wants the IRS to Audit Abortions.
Anti-Choice Extremists, led by Republican House Rep. Pitts, want to pass H.R. 3–the Stupak Amendment on Steroids–so the IRS can audit abortions.
They don’t care about jobs. They Only Want to Continue On-going Attacks Against Women!
These zealots want to subject rape and incest victims to audits if they choose abortion.
If Pitts‘ bill H.R.3, becomes law it could prohibit using tax benefits such as credits or deductions to pay for an abortion or health insurance that includes abortion coverage.
In enforcing H.R. 3, the IRS could make a woman relive the horrid experience by requiring that she describe her sexual assault that she already told the police again to an agent from the IRS.
