Government Healthcare

Honest question:
If the proposed "reform" is passed, as written, will those of us with healthcare coverage that we are satisfied with be required to change, pay more or join in the bureaucratic red tape or can we simply opt out?

 

No one knows yet (it is not yet written yet). Hopefully they will do away with the health ins industry altogether, it is nothing but a parasite.

 

I really hope NO on all four points.

 

Insurance isn't important to you or you believe govn't should manage it?

It's all over the net, google page 16 health care. No more private insurance will be allowed to be purchased after the Obama bill becomes law. If you don't like my source, there are others available, they all say the same thing.

The health care secrets are coming out. Thats why they want this passed so quickly. As costs, loopholes and lies are discovered the support for this bill is declining rapidly, even among dems.

 

It would seem to me that those limits would be a matter for the courts to decide, if indeed, a government could place such restrictions without reproach.

 

Welcome to Socialism

 

That industry is completely unnecessary, it is a HUGE chunk of profit taken out of our nations GNP.

 

well lets hope it passes then.

 

Any one got a link to the actual bill?

 

Hey gang, lets all pitch in and pay for them as well

This thing has to go through the sausage grinder still.

 

I saw Obama on television this morning & he has no idea how his plan will be funded yet he is campaigning for it like a candidate fighting for his political life. Kinda scary.

 

So at this moment there is no page 16 to read?

 

...as I said it is early in the process. In the long run this will save money though because it will cut out all of the profit taking centers in the middle and add efficiencies like electronic record keeping. What is scary is keeping the system we currently have!

I do not know if this is the same "bill" that Investors Business Daily wrote about, I have not had the time nor inclination to read it yet.

 

Did you just admit that you are anti profit?

 

Let me tell you about the "efficiencies" of electronic record keeping. Right now I'm covered by military health care. My wife is pregnant, and is receiving her primary care at a military hospital. They sent her to a second military hospital for a consultation. Even though both hospitals are military (and both Navy to boot), they can't read each other's electronic files. Why? Because they're on different versions of the same software. And that's only on hospitals 45 minutes apart in the same time zone, where one doctor can pick up the phone and call another. What's going to happen when they're in a different time zone, and are unlikely to know each other personally? This is what happens when the government runs health care.

 

Liberals hate the word "profit" and think if one works 80 hours a week and the other 20 that everybody should get paid equally.

If one gets an "A" on a test, the other person should at least get a "participation" trophy for putting their name on the test. Everybody is equal...there are no winners and that makes sure they are no losers.

Their vision for this country is killing it.

 

In healthcare administration I'd say so.
