house Republican Health Care Reform Bill

[JacknCoke]

House Republicans might as well say,"Take two aspirin and call me in 5 years."

Well in that case the Dem's ought to say give me all your money or we will get it through taxes anyway!

Here's a good question..I actually have a couple but I'll just stick to this one; Where was all this "genius" ALL these fuggin' years the jokers were in power???
.

That is an excellent question. The problem with the GOP is that when they finally got power, they didn't do anything.

Gingrich and the 94 wins in the House brought us the Contract with America initiatives, many of which were enacted by Clinton and he gets credit for them... but the point is the ideas they had then were pretty good. Then they fell apart in the 2000s, and their only idea seemed to be to cut taxes, which I like but you also have to cut the Federal government expenditures, which they did not. They spent just as much pork in Congress as any Democratic Congress ever had, and that was VERY disappointing.

Give me a lifetime opt out option from another government takeover of our lives and let me keep my taxes and I will back the democrats bill.

Dont take my money, don't spread my wealth.

For the record, I have a HSA insurance with high deductible. I rarely visit the doctor, and only need a catastrophic type coverage. But I don't see that option with their plan.

The socialistic AMA, AARP and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network endorse Democratic House Bill. OMG doctors, the sick and the elderly are turning into Communist.

What in the contract on America did Clinton take credit for or credit was attributed to Clinton??

The centerpieces of that whole business as I remember was a balanced budget amendment which went up in flames a unconstitutional and term limits which didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell.

Welfare "reform"???....Clinton ran on welfare "reform" himself...and he did what a POTUS is supposed to do when a bill comes across his desk he agrees with...he signed it....the rest of that mumbo jumbo..meh.:dunno:

how will Obama Care get paid for without printing more money?

Doesn't matter! He'll outsource the job to China printing presses to print more dollars! To fuck as to how we'll pay for em!

What I mean is that everyone should be able to BUY health coverage not handed to them.

If you lower health care cost to an affordable price then people would be able to BUY the coverage that they WANT. Not take the coverage that the Government feels they need.

Why can we buy car and life insurance across state lines but we can't buy health insurance across state lines? I have my car insurance through Nationwide and they are based In Ohio, why can't the same be done for health insurance?

How does buying a car insurance from a national company save you money? National car insurance companies don't have a set price nationwide, right? Car insurance in Montana costs different than Car insurance in Manhattan, right? Now, NY may require more coverage than Montana, but how exactly will buying a health plan across state lines bring down costs for people? It won't. The same "spreading of risk" models will be implemented. So, if you want cheaper healthcare, move to Montana, where your health treatment options will surely be limited:dunno:

Car insurance is a fraud need, btw...it's a waste of money.

If you lower health care cost to an affordable price then people would be able to BUY the coverage that they WANT. Not take the coverage that the Government feels they need.

For Profit health insurers, if they ever are mandated against dropping people with diseases, will surely limit the options in their plans. Health insurers already have the "denying treatment" part down. If they pare down the coverage in their plans, they won't have to work hard to deny treatments, huh?

I am happy the nation I built with my blood, sweat and tears elected Obama.

I can't believe the future generations actually considered electing John McCain and a bobblehead from Alaska. We didn't even have Alaska when we wrote the Constitution.
----George Washington

I championed strong central gov't especially for banking and financial matters. It's strange how far from my visions has this country drifted over the years. Even Burr wasn't as big a doosh as that Dubya character was.
