Those Obama/Joker/Socialism posters don't seem so absurd anymore to a lot of people i know.
Hospitals expected to become insolvent due to Medicare cuts – 20%
Expected number of patients with reduced care due to Medicare reductions -33 million
Medicaid new patients - 15 million

Reality is the legislation about to become law was a big gift to politicians, and their cronies. Bet that somebody makes big money on this, its the Chicago way...
Real cost reform would be to work on treatment costs, not what some company will reimburse. Only then can health care be affordable, for everyone.
What we are looking at is a massive program that, if they had actually learned from the examples proponents cited, incurred massive cost increases because they never really deal with costs of treatment.
Litigation, hospitals for profit, private medical clinic surcharges, Medicare/Medicaid fraud all drive costs. I know its been said before, but costs are the problem.
Now we the people are supposed to go along with this crap? I don't think so...
to anyone that thought the insurance companies are evil...............time to look at your government
ReplyDeleteWell, 37 States are going to file suit and challenge the constitutionality of forcing people to sign on or be fined and/or jailed.
ReplyDeleteThere could have been regulations on the insurance companies to prevent gouging, etc....this was a power grab.
ReplyDeletethat is all it was............all it ever was
ReplyDeleteInsurance companies are in business - bottom line is to make money, on average 3%.
ReplyDeleteBefore labelling them evil, think about the debt the US government just saddled everyone with...thats evil
it's all in the democrat "Alinsky" handbook....demonize others to get what you want..........the soicalists are playing by their heroes books
ReplyDeletethey hate capitalism..............and they want the insurance companies to fail.........then they can step in & control them
And they haven't even factored in the loss of drs. with this program-45%
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've heard of one part of this plan that is targeted to reduce costs, so there must be something coming from within the bureaucracies that will be set up. Rationing is definitley going to be there, but what else?
ReplyDeleteActually, the US is becoming a Capitalism; a form of government for and by the corporations.
