Question by Average Joe: Will president Obama make the health plan of members of congress available to all americans?
I’m a little confused about Obama’s health care plan. Now that he’s the next president I’d like someone to explain his health care plan to me like you would explain it to a 4-year old. I read that he wants to create some kind of a National Health Insurance Exchange which sounds a little strange to me (I hope I’m the only one?). How would this make health care more affordable?

We’ll never have national health care….presidents have tried it for years.

I hope he does something, but you must realize that America pays more per capita than ANY OTHER COUNTRY for providing healthcare to people. We will never fix the healthcare issue until we fix the illegal immigrant issue. We are insuring 40 million illegals right now..how are we to afford all of the legal citizens when our money is now going to insure illegal immigrants. I read an article recently that said in California alone, way back in 1994, we spent almost 300 million dollars just on births of babies born to Illegals…almost 74K births. I would hate to see what the numbers are in 2008. We have free healthcare, but it’s going to illegal immigrants right now. In California, if you are low income, you can sign up for medical, or basic adult healthcare, and kids get free through medical. We also have a program where you can buy insurance based on your income.

I’m worried if he implements his healthcare plan, my family might lose their insurance through our employer because our employer will know we can buy it on our own through the government….which we really can’t afford to do for 5 people.

The healthcare issue will not be fixed for many years, until all of our money stops going to support illegal immigrants. Even when you can buy it under an Obama plan…you will still have to BUY it!

Answer by stung4ever
The Department of Health and Human Services went up before Congress and called their boss a liar, saying that the bill would INCREASE health care costs more than if Congress did nothing at all.

So, in short, it’s a POS.

What you need to know: From Puppet to Dictator. 1.) Obama Camp and all of his “Familia” are all: EXEMPT. 2.) Muslims are you guessed it: EXEMPT. conservativepapers.com 3.) Obama wants Our SERVICE men and women to “Pay Up” freebeacon.com Threatens to veto bill unless it hikes health care fees for service members. Muslims Only are EXEMPT to getting the new health care and to paying any tax or penalty Whatsoever. Link: pjmedia.com 4.) Muslims may claim a religious exemption that is denied Christians and Jews. Since Islam believes insurance is “haraam” (forbidden) and likens insurance to gambling, the religion is excluded from requirements, mandates, or penalties set forth in the bill. Others who fall into this category are the Amish, American Indians, and Christian Scientists. Although the US Constitution grants all Americans equal protection of the law, some Americans are more equal than others. 5.) Americans are forced to get health insurance or be penalized with a tax possibly jail time if further provisions are made. 6.) Only 30 million will receive free coverage under their qualifications and guide lines. Even if we can get “free” health care through the system, we are going to have to play by their rules ie getting vaccinations, and the mandated implanted RFID chip set to be implemented March 23, 2013 (Page 1004 implantable device) 7.)

5/30/12 ENCOURAGE YOUR CONGRESSMAN TO SUPPORT the PRENATAL NONDISCRIMINATION ACT which will make it ILLEGAL to ABORT A BABY on the BASIS of GENDER: “Section 3 of HR 3541 would amend Title 18 of the US Code to make it an offense, punishable by up to five years imprisonment, to knowingly do any one of the following four things: (1) perform an abortion “knowing that such abortion is sought based on the sex or gender of the child”; (2) use “force or threat of force . . . for the purpose of coercing a sex-selection abortion”; (3) solicit or accept funds to perform a sex-selection abortion; or (4) transport a woman into the US or across state lines for this purpose. The bill explicitly provides, “A woman upon whom a sex-selection abortion is performed may not be prosecuted or held civilly liable for any violation of this section, or for a conspiracy to violate this section.” The bill also explicitly provides that healthcare providers do not have any “affirmative duty to inquire as to the motivation for the abortion, absent the healthcare provider having knowledge or information that the abortion is being sought based on the sex or gender of the child.” Please note that HR 3541 no longer contains the original parallel provisions dealing with abortions that are solicited, coerced, or performed on the basis of the race of the unborn child. The impact of the abortion industry on minority communities, an important issue in its own right, has been set aside for another day. The bill

Nine Mile Falls, WA (PRWEB) November 7, 2009

AmericaYouChoose today launched AmericaYouChoose.com, a non-partisan web site that enables Congress to educate the public about looming legislation and collect feedback on public sentiment before voting. Sponsors of bills post pro and con arguments at AmericaYouChoose, which are presented side by side in three parts: Overview, Main Argument and Rebuttal. Visitors can vote ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ in polls specifically designed to provide useful information to Congress. Thus, AmericaYouChoose better informs Congress of the will of the people prior to voting on legislation, and gives the public a stronger voice.

America’s founding fathers feared an uneducated electorate. With the dissemination and propagation of misinformation via the Internet, email and television, the average voter is often confused about the stance of their leaders on key issues. In fact, when AmericaYouChoose asked visitors to vote on the Baucus Health Care Reform Bill nearly half chose the option, ‘Confused: I’m not sure of the details.’ Too often facts fall prey to sound bytes and hyperbole.

Clearly, the public needs an unbiased and unfiltered forum through which both political parties can better educate the public. AmericaYouChoose facilitates Congressional transparency, arms politicians with feedback from the public prior to votes, and provides a conduit for communication between the people and Congress. But Congress appears to be in no hurry to provide such transparency, which is why AmericaYouChoose has started a petition drive to encourage Congress to present their case to the public by posting their pro and con arguments on AmericaYouChoose.

‘A while back I simply wanted to research Cap and Trade, but the days of Peter Jennings making the complicated understandable during his TV specials are over,’ said Scott Chaney, founder of AmericaYouChoose.com. ‘After visiting 10-15 websites, without finding a single source that could help me research both sides of the issue — or even provide a comprehensive overview — I took matters into my own hands and launched AmericaYouChoose.’

Recently on AmericaYouChoose, visitors were asked to vote on S.1796 , ‘America’s Healthy Future Act of 2009’. The weighted vote (what the vote would be if the percentages of democrats, republicans and independents voting were in the same ratio as they exist in the general population) had 30% voting for and 70% against. Not surprisingly emotions are running high: 65% were strongly against while 20% strongly supported it.

Importantly, AmericaYouChoose.com is not supported by any political party or lobbying groups. Registration is free, and the site does not endorse any political party or cause.

“AmericaYouChoose is an excellent forum for learning the pros and cons about the issues that affect our lives,” said Gary Williams, an airline pilot living in Kingwood Texas. “Finally there’s a way to get the facts on bills and provide feedback to Congress before they vote! I think this site will help make politicians truly consider public opinion.”
