I had not been able to find any information on the bill up until it was posted less than 24 hours ago. I really could not say if I thought it was good or bad due to lack of information on it. The people who want to pass it even had little information on it.
I read some of the major points today. I am assuming that basically the government will run health care in the end. Will this force some insurance companies to go under.. leaving basically the only option for health care to the government??
This may sound odd but it seems to me that they want to take out medicare and leave seniors with little care, they want to dictate to dr and hospital what people can be treated for and limit the care, they want to include abortion? so all this looks to be is that they are wanting to reduce the population.. weed out the sick, weed out the old who have lived most their life, reduce care to those who are really sick.. and after a few years what is left.. limited population, only the healthy survive .. how is that for population control??
I am actually pretty scared of this bill at this point, but then again it does not matter they are going to pass what they want to. What is the con try coming to?

- Medicare Tax? Health Care for the Elderly? Let’s look at the facts about the proposed Medicare Tax … and a medical care program for the aged that already exists! What’s the hurry here? The supporters of the proposed Medicare Tax would have you believe that passage of this controversial bill is urgent … that persons over 5 are deprived of needed medical care because they can’t pay for it. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Kerr-Mills Law, passed by Congress in 1960 – enabled individual states to guarantee to every elderly person who needs help the health care he or she requires. We call this health program … Health Opportunity for the Elderly. Thousands of people every day are being helped by its generous benefits. And unlike Medicare, which would substantially increase your Social Security Tax payroll deductions, existing programs are being paid for now by a part of your present tax dollar! Medicare? NO. Health Care for the Elderly? YES! ….. 1964 American Medical Association Ad, A5157.

There is nothing in the current bill which would lead to a government takeover of insurance. The “exchanges” simply increase the risk pool by allowing all Americans to purchase insurance from A PRIVATE HEALTH INSURER. Having everyone insured is required in order to prevent insurance companies from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. Why? because if you simply let all people with pre-existing conditions purchase insurance then premiums would sky rocket because these people would incur high medical costs. By having everyone in the insurance pool, then that risk is spread around so that now there are a bunch of healthy people who would still be paying premiums but at the same time not requiring as much care. It is basic economics. People are so aggrevated about the concept of HAVING to buy health insurance, that they aren’t really thinking of WHY they are being required to buy insurance. A recent 2009 Harvard study showed that 45,000 people die every year as a direct result of not having insurance. If that number is any indication for the future then the passage of this bill could save 450,000 lives within the first 10 years after it goes into effect. To be honest, it is outrageous that so many people are so narrowly focused on the most mundane aspects of this bill that they can’t see the big picture.
- Federal funding for abortion is already illegal. This bill can’t circumvent that unless it actually amends the text of the other legislation.
- Medicare is already a broken system. As has already been indicated numerous times, fixes to that system will be addressed seperately.
- Weed out the sick? Elderly? Dude you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about; that is all the Administration on Aging and the other Departments under HHS work on improving. Improving quality of care, quality of life, etc.
Quit being such an alarmist and actually make some effort to understand how these systems ACTUALLY work, and spend a little less time listening to GOP talking points which have been thoroughly discredited.
Pro everyone is Insured Cost will go down and Reform will happen and People will see their Doctor
Con Anyone who has Stock on Wall street will freak out see it go down because means Insurance is helping Consumers and not shareholders, well help the Sick and Dying but that will hurt the Fat Cats on wall street
I also would like in a few years the Public Option back everyone in every other nation has Socialized Health Care in some way or form America doesn’t and Its time that We The People have that right.
