How Health Care Reform Would Impact You

The bestway for some might be to get rid of all goverment ran programs for all the old people and the politicians and pay down the war deficit Starting with medicare
let the people vote on reform or elimination

It is true that trying to push through a bill this quickly is risky and may be costly, but the need for a change in general is needed.
It is also necessary for changes to made within the medical industry itself.
Dr. Eva Mor is quoted as saying, “The administration of the existing health delivery system is bloated with waste and unnecessary cost. If information was shared by all providers of health services and all insurers by using computerized systems to store all medical records, it would cut costs and reduce errors that would save and improve lives.

What we need in a health system is uniformity in pricing for procedures and services and modalities of provision of testing and procedures for diagnosis and treatment. By providing coverage to the uninsured, which initially will cost the taxpayer, it eventually will save us hundreds of millions of dollars.”

She couldn’t be more right. The medical industry needs to be as much a part of health care reform as the insurance companies.

Get my jail cell ready. As soon as my free-market insurance premium rises due to government interference, I’ll be canceling my insurance and WILL NOT succumb to the government. Fine me… you’ll never get it. Put me in jail… you’ll be supporting me with three squares a day. Do you HAVE that many cells? Pass this (or ANY government intervention bill) and we’ll find out.

Healthcare the world over seems much more of an illusion, for far too many people that need it. My company http://www.smilemd.com is right now securing doctors and dentists for voluntary free clinics, for all those uninsureds throughout the USA, who still will not have insurance coverage, even after the dust settles on the great healthcare debate.
The irony of the issue that’s left out of these debates we’re fighting this very moment is that most people in this country die from viruses that are freely contracted. Whatever then will all your money buy you then?

I agree with Karen Conine –

The PUBLIC should be entitled to the same coverage their SERVANTS have – do you get that America????? Your Public Servants – Including the President of the United States – Mr Obama – WORK FOR YOU – have taken an oath to serve you – and have better heath care than you do……. HELLO??????

It’s time the Citizens of United States of America realize that WE RUN THE COUNTRY – IT IS OURS – WE MAKE THE RULES!!!!

As the REAL OWNERS OF AMERICA – Citizens should stand up and DEMAND retribution and protection.

Write your congressman – DEMAND the same coverage they have be provided to ALL Citizens of the United States of America.

Why is everyone so afraid of Socialized Medical – it already exists in our country – the Militairy and Federal/State employees all have it – and it is the best coverage money can buy!!!! Wake up America – you are already paying for the best coverage – you just don’t have access to it because it’s not as profitable as the options you do have access to………

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!

I have weighed this issue Health Care Bill vs. Constitution, and if a Political Party Gains control over a people because if the Health Care Tax Dollars, then it is laws with out moral value.
You see when tobacco companies became under fire the laws were based on a moral value because of the issues within.
The moral building blocks from Bill to Law is not supported because these Laws are for increase taxes and force pay against the people and a increase tax forum in a wide coverage stated to be in the best interest of the Country.
exmp.,

So this is Health Care Reform at its best, please allow me to share a concept that will open your mind in a way never thought of for a United Forum Concept. At first I stood alone and I wrote my first blog and little did I know that thousands of people and companies stood by it,
I have waited to see the issues of tax increase and health care, something that may be wrote by President Obama,
You see a lot of what I write, is in fact that, I do not seek Political support because I do not belong to any party. As for President Obama and theses 60 people that hold seat of Government who wish to build 1900 page of law to Govern this system because of this Health Care dollar. I watch them stumble about without a clue of how to fix this failed system. To see into this failure, you must allow this system to be seen as a forum for dollars of taxes created as a constant as a yearly figure. This prediction of dollar for the future, is in fact what I call Artificial Intelligence built on the hope that taxes will stay a constant figure.
To state it simple if Health Care Insurance Companies Unite and hand over this issue then the Officials of Government then they will have have no choice but to turn their eye to the companies of medication and medical supplies and hospitals and Doctors who charge cost that is the cause and effect of this failure within this system.
This Health Care Forum we offer is built on a moral value, a strategic forum to place issues to work ,that offers freedom to be a part of it or not. This force pay against companies, force pay against VETS, and so on shows the lack of a moral building block within this Health Care Reform.
What we offer is that, will, Lets use the AARP Health Care Insurance Company, and lets say that they have 30 million members. To show that this company can earn $150 million dollars per month and be released from the burden of medical cost, by what we wish to show as health care tax forum and a freedom of choice for a pay in to a forum to a Insurance Company for people who do not trust this system within The United States Government. A tax forum forces the Government system to work for the people and at the same time forces Government Officials to work for the people within this forum.
To reach out to a company and sit down with them to build something never attempted in order to rebuild lives and the National Security of The United States as a moral building block without laws to Govern, but to protect this system from crime is what a moral law use to stand for.
To show a $100 trillion dollar strategic building block by companies of freewill that step forward to help rebuild America. To build the most powerful anti war / crime forum ever conceived by such as I a nobody that only seek to only go back to work as a painter and rebuild his little company dream.
As stated at first I stood alone against so many and I have found the uniting of people of different faith that seeks the same as I do. What makes FASC Concepts different, we do not ask for money and we opened a door for people to put their faith into themselves as a person and not what we say, to build on this and protect it under the concepts of law such as the Patriot Act. {A Moral Concept}
There is a day coming that Officials of Government will see that the Laws built against God and Country was the first steps of the United States Of America headed for failure because it lacks moral value. This is what our enemies see, a Country of Laws that should of never been created by few against so many people of the USA.
Is it so hard to see a concept for a Health Care Stimulus Package that builds jobs and life within a anti war / crime forum ? But it was the war and the crimes committed after 9/11/2001 of how I was allowed to see into the basic tax forum failure. And to rebuild the security within the Country.

Politicians Receive the Country’s Best Care – at Taxpayers’ Expense

Oct 11, 2008 R.H. Sheldon
While over 46 million Americans remain uninsured and millions more underinsured, members of Congress receive health-related services that many in the U.S. will never see.

Few would deny that a health care crisis looms large in the U.S. In a country with millions of uninsured and underinsured citizens, health care has become more a privilege than a right. Indeed, the United States remains the only industrialized country in the world that doesn’t guarantee health care to all its citizens.

But this isn’t the case for members of the U.S. Congress. Representatives and Senators alike receive some of the best health care benefits in the country, much of it paid for with taxpayer dollars. Yet these same members seem unable – or unwilling – to extend similar protections to the rest of America.
Federal Employees Health Benefits Program

As soon as members of Congress are sworn in, they may participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). The program offers an assortment of health plans from which to choose, including fee-for-service, point-of-service, and health maintenance organizations (HMOs). In addition, Congress members can also insure their spouses and their dependents.

Not only does Congress get to choose from a wide range of plans, but there’s no waiting period. Unlike many Americans who must struggle against precondition clauses or are even denied coverage because of those preconditions, Senators and Representatives are covered no matter what – effective immediately.

And here’s the best part. The government pays up to 75 percent of the premium. That government, of course, is funded by taxpayers, the same taxpayers who often cannot afford health care themselves.

More Health Care Perks for Congress

And the Congressional perks don’t stop with the FEHBP. According to the article “Health care as good as Congress gets,” by John Barry, a staff writer for the St. Petersburg Times, “Members of Congress have their own pharmacy, right in the Capitol. They also have a team of doctors, technicians and nurses standing by in case something busts in a filibuster. They can get a physical exam, an X-ray or an electrocardiogram, without leaving work.”

Although members pay extra for these services – Representatives pay about $300 per month, and Senators about $600 – taxpayers end up kicking in another $2 million. That’s $2 million not being spent on those who need it.
House and Senate’s Health Care Legacy

Despite the services that members of Congress receive at the taxpayer’s expense, they’ve done little on behalf of those who cannot afford or cannot get health care. The Oakland Tribune article “Congress’ wild health care ride” (January 7, 2008) reports that Congress’ attention is instead focused on the financial well being of pharmaceutical and insurance companies.

To illustrate this point, the article states that, according to the Medicare Reform Act of 2004, Medicare is prohibited from negotiating with pharmaceutical companies for lower prices. However, not only is this negotiating power available to governments in other industrialized countries, it’s also similar to the power granted to the FEHBP, which itself is permitted to negotiate premiums and prices.

It’s true that the U.S. Congress is talking up health care reform, but members of the House and Senate – both Republicans and Democrats alike – take millions of dollars in contributions from the health sector, which includes health providers, insurers, and pharmaceutical companies

In the meantime, millions of Americans are receiving inadequate health care, and millions more could lose their health insurance at any time. Those who’ve managed to maintain their insurance have seen their rates go up and their deductibles rise. Many end up medically bankrupt. Yet throughout all this upheaval, one thing has remained steady – the health care coverage afforded members of Congress. If they’ve proven nothing else, they’ve shown taxpayers that they know how to take care of themselves.

People need to wake up. The news can only get so far. Can we even believe what we hear anymore in the news or even from our government anymore? Honestly, they are only human after all. As human, we are all greedy. Especially the ones in control of our drugs, and health care system. Any kind of business that are big out there is based on greed. The more they earn the more they forget about the common people. Why do you think our economy is in the shape we are in. Because they whole system is based on the concept of “Human Greed”. So is the health care system.

90 % of the wealth in United States is held by 10% or even less, 5% of the population in the United States. This is what cause all these financial turmoil. leaving only 5 % or 10 % of the wealth for the rest of the United States. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out that this is just plain stupidity. How is our country going to function like that?

The health insurance can keep increasing their cost. It is not going to go anywhere. Pretty soon, no one but the top 5 or 10 % of the population will be able to afford health care. The rest of us…. well lets just say we are just leave to die ( so to speak, we all die eventually anyways right? ) Just that most of us will work like there is no tomorrow just to earn some food, and then denied health care. While very few of us don’t have to work hard and still get abundance of riches that they don’t need in the first place, and get top notch health care.

The United States will become a country of unequal rights where only the wealthy gets everything while the rest gets next to nothing for what we pay with our blood and hands.

Why doesn’t the health insurance own up some responsibility in reforming themselves? Because they are too greedy to even have conscience.

Last year I asked my co-worker if the vote was left to us, the citizens, to vote yes or no for healthcare how would she vote, she said she woud vote “no”. Knowing she had a son and a daughter in college that would be to old to be on her existing health care policy after they finished college. I then asked if would she vote no to health care knowing that her kids would maybe remain unemployed for a while after they finished college and this bill would maybe help them out until they establish themselves…… after she gave that point a little thought…she then said yes, in a case like that, she probably would vote yes.

So…..I guess, all you have to do is be able to think of the health care bill as it applies to someone else other than yourself. Yes, it will probably cost us, everything cost us, that is nothing new.

I also have a friend that rant and rave about “who is gonna pay for this” I find this odd coming from her because she is the last person alive in her entire family. So whatever cost she inccur under this bill, if it is passed, will most likely never be paid back by her. I have four children, the odds that at least one of my kids during their lifetime will need these services because of the lost of a job is high. My childrens children will one day have to repay for the medical care that I have incurred…..so what. I am now paying for “whatever” was left over from the days of my grandparents.

I once had to be hospitalized overnight in a surgical center….I have insurance. Two weeks later, I got a bill and my out of ocket payment was $32,000.00 for an overnight stay. My yearly personal expenses are not $32,000.00 When I went to the surgical center that morning for this procedure I was eXpected to leave at 5PM. Instead my surgeon arrived to late in the day for me to leave by 5PM thus turning my day stay into an overnight stay. When I got the bill I was still recovering at home…I remember thinking, gee, if all they did that night was to “watch” me and to come into my room turning on the lights to take my blood pressure, this could have been done at the Days Inn Hotel located next door to the surgical unit for $63.00 a night. Plus, my itemized bill stated I was charged $63.00 for 2 aspirin.
I found the aspirin cost amazing because I asked the nurse if I could have a couple of aspirin I had on hand in my personal items I had with me at the hospital and she said no, I would have to take aspirin prescribed only by my attending physical. I had a bottle of aspirin in my posession that cost me .88. Instead, 2 aspirin ended up costing me $63.00. Forgive me while I scream…………………

I have a neighbor that needed a kidney transplant….the insurance company allowed the transplant…however, after her successful surgury……the insurance woud not cover her anti-rejection drugs as they deemed these drugs “experimental”. How can the drugs be experimental and the transplant not be experimental” These drugs cost $1,000.00 a month and climbing. Four member of this womans family have to get together every month to come up with the money needed to pay for the drugs alone. It use to be the cost of a home would be the biggest purchase in your life…not now, it is healthcare. If you cannot pay for your life…..your life is over!

So, I have inurance, however, I am afraid to use it…….the average person, including myself, cannot pay $32,000 as the bill specified to, “remit withing 15 days”.

Something has got to done about this………people are losing homes over health care. And Mo, I read your post and I think it is shameful what our government officials get as far as healthcare as opposed to us……the people that sent them there.

F@#? Ed Schultz, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, and Rachel Maddow: These Socialist-supporting, Communist-committed, Nontransparent-Cheating, False-Hope Preaching, Progressive-idiots want the U.S. Constitution Abolished, and/or at least heading in that direction. When Socialist-Dictators from 3rd-World countries praise your economic achievements, you better “MEASURE TWICE, and CUT ONCE” your understanding of your countries future.

F@#? MSNBC.

This is not CANADA! This is not a “HATE” speech from a ‘Right-Wing Nut,’ or even a ‘Right-Winger,’ this is an opinion from an AMERICAN who doesn’t need to think but UNDERSTAND that there is hate everywhere, against anyone, at anytime, about anything, from everywhere (there are BUSH haters on the left & OBAMA haters on the right).

MSNBC, CNN, and the Obama Administration worry more about the well-being and opinions of Domestic/Islomic Terrorist then they do about the well-being and majority, that represent the AMERICAN PEOPLE.

If you can’t read or understand the Constitution, then get out of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, quickly!

So we just passed a Health Care Law in order to know what is in it; written by a committee whose chairman says he didn’t understand it; passed by a congress that didn’t read it and exempts themselves from it; Signed by a hypocritical-president who is a smoker; from funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes; all to be overseen by a sergeon general who by military standards is obese; all to be financed by a country that is broke.

(WHAT IDIOTS)

It’s simple, THEY WORK FOR US! Force them to walk in our shoes and to put up with the everyday issues all Americans are faced with. If they can’t do their jobs under those conditions then FIRE THEM (vote them out). Fight for one year terms so their bosses (US) can get rid of them when they screw up. THEY WORK FOR US, WE PAY THEIR SALARIES! Turn off Dancing with the stars, stop sending stupid hearts on Facebook and let them know we are not going to put up with their Criminal, Incompetent, Greedy behavior anymore.
