    they're first hand accounts from people that have been denied healthcare coverage

    it's even introduced by a doctor that explains how the affordable healthcare act is an improvement

    [video=youtube;WZLz_IJhz6E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZLz_IJhz6E[/video]

    that's the most expensive and inefficient way to manage healthcare

    its propaganda, wake up. I really think you are smarter than that.

    what we are about to experience is the most expensive and inefficient way to manage healthcare. Please give me one program that the govt manages cheaply and efficiently------------just one, I'll be waiting.

    Because it's far cheaper than paying for thier unpaid trips to the ER for a sore throat.

    You're not but, pregnancy is expensive. Which would you rather pay for, condoms or child birth?


    To save you and your employer money.
    They aren't, only your doctor and your insurance company are doing that.
    Only the criminally stupid think that the Govt is going to be involved in your health care under 'Obamacare'.

    That is why everyone has to buy insurance.
    You understand that much of it at least.

    Sorry, CM, ole buddy, but you have no idea what is in the obamacare bill. ^^^this post proves your ignorance to what the actual wording in the bill does, and will do.

    The end game for obozo and his marxist cronies is a one payer system where the govt controls every aspect of medical care.

    I really suggest that you download a synopsis of the bill and READ it. you are speaking from ignorance and its making you look foolish.

    they won't be BUYING insurance, it will be cheaper to pay the fines. then the insurance companies go out of business and the govt takes over medical care completely-----------thats the plan, always has been.

    LOL!!
    Yeah, I have read it, I do understand it and I know how it will work.
    I think maybe YOU might want to follow your own advice and educate yourself.
    The only one looking foolish due to their ignorance is you my friend.

    The big scary evil Govt will have nothing to do with your healthcare, o one will decide what care you get or don't get, other than your doctor and you insurance company, just like always. Only now your insurance company can't drop you when you dare to get sick and need them to do what you pay them for.
    And that is a good thing.

    You have swallowed the propaganda and the lies from the far right, that much is clear.

    One of the promises of obamaSCAM was that ALL would have health insurance. ACA expanded Medicaid to cover those that make more than Medicaid eligibility, but not enough to afford health insurance. FINE! However ACA requires the STATES to cover that expanded coverage cost. The feds will cover the regular Medicaid funding as before, the STATES pick up the expansion.
    This does 2 things. 1. it gets millions more covered, and 2. it hides the true cost of ACA because the CBO does not account for the state costs. [but those cost WILL have to be paid, and states have balanced budget LAWS so they cannot borrow to pay]
    ACA also stated that if the states refused to cover the expanded costs, they would lose their present federal Medicaid funding.
    THAT IS THE PART THE SCOTUS FOUND UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND STRUCK DOWN.

    So now to have more people covered as the ACA promised, states would have to voluntarily cover much higher costs. More than half the states have already refused to do that.

    Another promise of obamaSCAM was that it would keep health insurance and health care costs down.,,,,,,,,,,,THIS WEEK, the major insurers announced premium increases of 20% to 22%. That is ON TOP on numerous premium increases since the ACA was passed. And those premium increases will continue, and probably increase even more, OR, companies will leave the health insurance field, allowing for massive increases by the now less competitive firms that stay.

    The requirement that the young and healthy have insurance OR pay a fine [TAX], makes it clear that the fine will be much cheaper. The fine will go into the general fund and do nothing to lower or stabilize insurance premiums.

    One can research the information on OECD, http://www.oecd.org/health/ and find that MOST countries with govt supplied health care actually pay a higher percentage of their household income for health care, than we do here in the USA. And the USA is a member of OECD. There are millions of bits of health care info on this site. Much of it contradicts the claims of govt health care proponents.

    I have nothing against the govt supplying health care in principle [other than it requires a larger and larger govt], but our history shows that our govt, perhaps NO govt, can or ever has, run a business more effectively or efficiently as the private sector.

    I would not look forward to a trip to the doctor being exactly like a trip to the DMV. And that IS the assured results. Assured by history.

    Right, you can't make it up. People and businesses will pay the fines rather than buy insurance--------BECAUSE IT WILL BE CHEAPER.

    That was always what obama and his left wing cronies had planned--------put the insurance companies out of business and make medicine one huge govt cluster <<< Mod Edit: Bypassed the Profanity Filter>>>

    well said and completely correct---but don't expect liberals to ever deal with the facts. They act on emotion rather than facts. <<< MODERATOR EDIT: OFF TOPIC >>>

    Hey, when bush the failure shoved costs to the states, you all cheered, why the change of heart?

    "Obamacare' isn't fully in effect yet, once it is and many more join the insurance pool, cost will go down. It's amazing how easily the uninformed low thinkers fall for the same old right wing propaganda.

    It will go to pay for their healthcare, where it SHOULD go.

    Then by all means stay here in America where we don't have the evil scary 'Govt supplied health care'.
    Aren't you lucky you don't have to move to avoid what you have been told you fear?

    that's the direction he started in, the gop blocked his path


    here's what obama really promised:


    Q: Why is it so difficult to make health care accessible to everyone in the world&#8217;s richest country?

    A: It shouldn&#8217;t be. And it&#8217;s wrong. You know, my mother died of ovarian cancer when she was 53 years old. And I remember in the last month of her life, she wasn&#8217;t thinking about how to get well, she wasn&#8217;t thinking about coming to terms with her own mortality, she was thinking about whether or not insurance was going to cover the medical bills and whether our family would be bankrupt as a consequence. That is morally wrong. It&#8217;s objectionable. That&#8217;s why I put forward a comprehensive legislation for universal health care so that all people could get coverage. My attitude is, that since you are paying my salary as taxpayers, you should have health care that is at least as good as mine. And the key to that is not only a good plan, but we&#8217;ve also got to overcome the drug & insurance company lobbies, that spent $1 billion over the last 10 years to block reform. As president, I am going to take them on.

    As always, I post facts, and liberals reply with idiocy.

    Does what Bush did make everything OK? And if you cared to do any kind of actual factual research about anything, you'd know that I have stated over and over again, that Bush was bad.

    And we do have the scary govt supplied health care here in America. The MAJOR cause of increasing insurance and health care cost IS Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare in less than 50 years since inception has increased in expense more than 2000 times its projected 10 year cost, YEARLY. Nothing else has seen increases like that. obamaSCAM will do exactly the same, or much worse.

    In the short 12 years since Bush was elected, we have tripled our national debt.[Over 40% of that belongs to obama, but bush is guilty too] Even without the massive costs obamaSCAM will cause, we can face another tripling in the next 12 years. Try a national debt of $49.2 TRILLION. We did it in the last 12 years and there is NOTHING on the horizon to keep us from doing it again and obamaSCAM gives us an excellent tool.

    WE face another bubble and crash. Almost certain to happen within 10 years. One that will make the financial bubble and crash and the housing bubble and crash, TOGETHER, look like a hiccup. And that is the interest bubble and crash.

    Presently we take in right at ONE TRILLION DOLLARS in income tax. Just a normal 5% interest rate on a $30 trillion debt is $1.5 trillion per year. That is more than we've EVER taken in in income tax. And if we triple the debt again, 5% interest is $2.46 trillion, just in interest. We are ASSURED that the national debt will be over $21 trillion by the time obama leaves office in just 4 years. 5% interest on that alone is MORE than a trillion. $1.05 trillion.


    No opinions, no propaganda, just a peek at reality.
