Ted?
Did you find the information on the exemptions for large companies and
unions from the "healthcare bill"? If it's so good for everyone, why would they be giving exemptions? And why would so many of them be to rabid obama followers? |

I'm curious how anyone can support it at all. But especially as conditions develop as those of us against the bill said that they would. And Ted and I have had conversations about issues like this on which we disagree in which he gives me his opinion without the name calling and other devices used to avoid the issue. |

But especially as conditions develop as those of us against the bill said that they would. Holy ****. You got into DEATH PANELS!!!!!! Where are the death panels? NONE of the lies you teabagging piece of **** lying freaks have developed. And Ted and I have had conversations about issues like this on which we disagree in which he gives me his opinion without the name calling and other devices used to avoid the issue. Sorta like YOU and I disagree, and you call me a child molester, you deranged wack job? Hey, how about that contact info? Sorta like you disagree with me, so you call the cops and falsely accuse me of heinous crimes? Irony meter forms a death panel and denies rehab to Death Panel Bob. |

* My three goals that I want any Health Care in the US to do, besides lower costs and expand coverage, are much more emphasis on preventative care. lower infant mortality rates, and have better prenatal care for expectant mothers. Problem with the waivers (if you prefer) is that they are disproportionately going to unions and similarly Pelosi's district. Another part of the obama slushfund like the porkulus. I think that _everyone_ would say that their goals for HC are similar to yours. But there are many things that could have been done without giving the government control of 6% of the U.S. economy and intituting a system that has been shown not to work where it's been tried. Let's not forget that my wife is from a socialist country and knows that "going to the Dr. in Holland" sucks. I think that if you work hard, save some money and pay for good insurance or get it through your employer, that is a reward for your responsibility. If you work at McDonalds and have 3 kids, well then you are ****ing stupid for having 3 kids with a job that cannot pay for them. If you spend your money on hair extentions, cell phones, liquor, and cigarettes instead of insurance, that's not my problem. If a state wants to enact a system like o****wit's plan, that might be something to look at. Those of us that don't want to be part of the nanny culture could move. |

The Netherland isn't a "Socialist Country", Its Prime Minister at the moment is from the VVD, a Centre-Right party. * *It may do things differently than the US on certain things, but that hardly labels it a "Socialist" country. It is a socialist country. They have seen the light,as has much or Europe and are on a path of trying to dig themselves out. *The problem is Pigo, healthcare costs are rising so much and so fast it is doing two things.. It is freezing wages and salaries, because even though productivity is going up, and business earnings go up, health care is gobbling up those earnings, so people's salaries are staying the same. This isn't really a problem that "oh people are lazy, or uneducated so they deserve bad or no health insurance", this is a huge problem effecting a major sector of the US economy. * It is effecting much more people and effecting things on a huge macro scale in the US. *It is more using a finite amount of resources in the best possible way, instead of wasting an incredible amount of resources while costs are doubling, as they doubled in health care in the past ten years, and will double in the next ten years. *More and more people will pay more of out of pocket costs for health care as insurance raises premiums and deny coverage.. Paying a hundred or two dollars to go to the Dr. is where we should be. Too many people rely on insurance for everyday medical bull**** that should just be part of your expenses. One should be able to go get a few stitches or have a minor medical visit for a hundred bucks. With "insurance" the way it is people go in for every little thing because it's "free". We don't have "hotel room" insurance. If we did, hotel rooms would be $5000. per night. Second it is putting a huge damper on US GDP growth. *More and more of GDP is going to the health care sector, where resources are being wasted or procedures are incredibly confusing for costs and for many ways rational reasons. It's just all out of wack. If people paid cash for their normal, run of the mill, medical during the course of the year you'd see a big change in insurance and prices. * The Federal Government has to be involved, because the problem is so huge, and because the costs for healthcare are going to double in a decade if nothing is done. *No one likes it, but something had to be done to control costs and do something about coverage. *Coverage and more preventative care should stem costs rises. *More coverage doesn't mean higher costs. *Health Care mandates have to be done to help control costs. The whole problem is so huge _because_ the federal govt. is involved. "Coverage" isn't medical care. And some people get sick, some people die. It's part of life. More "coverage" does mean higher costs. Because the consumer is not involved in the pricing and sorting out the most bang for their buck. *The big hypocrisy of what Romney is spewing about the Massachusetts Health Care plan and mandate, is that he needed $400 million dollars from the US Government to make it work, (it was Medicaid money that was going to go back to the Federal Government if not used by Massachusetts, and yes Romney had to get a "voucher" from the US Gov't and HHS to transfer the Medicaid money to MA healthcare plan ) * I'm not supporting Romney care. I'm saying make it state by state so those of us not into being nannied can escape it . * Look on this issue, (Healthcare) we need to shed the ideology, and not sip the stuff fed by Fox News Hehe. That's funny. You want to "shed the ideology" and then immeadiately revert to ideology. Funny. narrative or any ideological media services. * We have a huge macro problem, and we need to use all the tools in the tool box to fix it. *It is going to take many ideas that anathema to all political ideologues, whether gov't intervention to free market ideas to control health care costs and expand coverage. There are a lot of very rich liberals that could pay for a lot of peoples healthcare on their own. *Much like I would be much more in favor of *Paul Ryan's plan for Medicare, if he and the House GOP address the biggest problem to make his plan successful, control the rising health care costs. *He and the House GOP do not address it or think the free market will take care of itself in health care, and it makes the Medicare voucher plan a disaster waiting to happened. *As much as Medicare has some serious problems, it also has the weight to negotiate with Health Care providers to control some costs. People paying for their own health care would control costs. Anything up to $500 should not even be an insurable case. |
