Ins companies much pay 80-85% of their revenues to

Of course, this is the positive view of things. But which of these things do you absolutely love, and which do you hate?

Now, poliically speaking, we have to see what groups suddenly get peeled away from the category of "pissed off republicans dying to vote the dems out in 2010 and 2012".
Immediately...
Will small business owners decline the tax credit?
Will seniors cash the $250 donut hole refund check, then vote against Dems?
Will people with pre-existing conditions prefer to get dropped from their insurance?
In 90 days...
Will people be cool with their kids not having coverage?
Will people be cool with getting dropped when they get sick?
Will any parent of a kid aged 23 to 26 be okay with their kid being uninsured?
In 2014...
Will ANY senior DECLINE medicare preventative care?
Please, let's not turn this into a discussion of how it's commie, marxist, etc. Let's talk about the political ramifications. How many of these people listed above, once obama does his little Bill Selling Spree, will stop hating the bill? Yes, the taxes are going to be bad, we know that. But are seniors really going to decline preventive care on medicare?
-
Dude please. How can you call for a serious discussion when you can't even make an honest post?

That was a Republican included idea...
-
mccain and Romney both came out today and called for a total recall of this bill.
I love the idea of changing the age. However, they did not mention anything about immediately drafting a bill to rescue 23 year olds. nor did they make this law in the 12 years they owned congress.
To me, this was more of 'tossing out 1 of 10 ideas they can live with" so they can claim they contributed, and to not piss off young voters who don't like obama now.
honestly, if I had to bet the rent check, i'd say if Obama cancelled this entire bill tomorrow, the repubs would not introduce a bill to keep 23-26 year olds covered.
But you are 100% correct - however, the top repubs say they want to repeal the entire billl, and none of them have mentioned anything to keep the 23 year olds covered. maybe they just forgot?
-
Meh, that's more of an issue of liking the totality of the bill.
You'll get no argument from me about Republicans sitting on their asses and that's why we are saddled with this thing.
Personally, I think it's pathetic. The party of "self-reliance" wants people covered until they're 26? Why not put a fucking bib on them too?
I left at 18, and many of the people on this board have noted they have been taking care of themselves from an early age.
So 26 and still mooching off mommy and daddy? Unless you're disabled or have had some significant hardship, that's just pathetic...
-
maybe... but if you are a doctor or a lawyer, you go to school for 8 years. So that means instead of allowing kids to finish college and still be covered, they can now be covered until they finish grad school.
We're gonna need doctors, as a lot of them have said they'll retire now.
-
Haha...good point.

The problem(s) are not in the things you listed above. Better insurance coverage, no more losing insurance or rates going up causing you to lose your insurance, a host of the things on this list are all great thing, but again, that's not the problem
All kids get covered.
We have created a system that is not sustainable, one that will more than likely collapse in on itself. I will be the first to say, I hope I'm wrong, I actually and honestly do not want to be right but basic math tells us our economy cannot handle this legislation. If it cannot handle it then the efforts made, even if under a noble cause, the legislation becomes worthless.
The second problem, it opens the door to more and more entitlement legislation...this may be an even bigger problem than the monstrous problem mentioned above.
-

I'm not even sure if 240's list is completely accurate but I'd be happy to see a Repub stand up and say one of their ideas was in the bill
what's stopping them from taking credit?
maybe someone will post a youtube clip of some Repub talking about some of the good things in the bill
-
if anyone disagrees with any of the points, think it's made up, we can look it up

Tax credits for small buisiness'.What a crock of crap.They will be madated to pay for their workers insurance.It will put them out of buisiness.Catapillar[not a small buisiness]said this bill will cost them 100,000,000 dollars.Think they wont lay off thousands?What fucking kid stays on his parents health care until he is 26 years old.GET OUT OF THE HOUSE LOSER AND GET A FUCKING JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This entire bill is simply designed to bankrupt insurance companies so they can move to single payer.
-
"What fucking kid stays on his parents health care until he is 26 years old.GET OUT OF THE HOUSE LOSER AND GET A FUCKING JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Doctors. Lawyers. Electrical Engineers.
The man or woman who will someday cure cancer will likely be in school until the age of 26.

You graduate at 18,4 years of college is 22,4 years med school is 26.Then you do your residency,you do get paid then dont you?You are covered then arent you?By the way,why should insurance companies be on the hook for it?How is it that the US government dictates to companies what they must do as far as services?
-
Sorry,posted to quick.My point was why not make it thirty years old,or 40 or permanent?How many doctors and laweyers was this made for,what about the THOUSANDS of kids that arent in college?Are they covered?Is there a rule saying you must be in a college course or can free loading scum bags be on it until 26?
-
Im having a hard time understanding all of this, sorry. but how are we going to pay for all of it?

taxes on what exactly?

taxes on what exactly?
Carriers, drug makers, medical device makers, unearned income, businesses, people making over 250k, etc.
All of those will be passed on to us idiot taxpayers.

Yep.

Many people only feel this will affect income taxes so lower income people will escape unscathed. :)
-
Dont forget the 10% on tanning.

This at its very core is a wealth re-distribution scheme just as MAObama campaigned on.

And this is supposed to lower the cost of Insurance ? or the cost of Health Care ?
The Truth:
Get ready for your rates to quadruple in the next 12 to 24 months Rob (which is the true goal of Obama, so he can then push for a single payer )) and also get ready for the waiting time for your child to see a doctor to get longer by 6 to 8 months Rob, and that is if you can even find one.
-
I have no doubt my premiuims will skyrocket under this disaster.
Obama can rot in hell with marx, lenin, stalin, pol pot, and mao for all I care.
-

That is Obama's goal, so he can then push for a single payer.
Obama hopes that once peoples premium 'skyrocket" in order to pay for all the no pre exsiting underwriting, that people will be ready for the Government to take it over.
That along with covering the new 30 million illegal aliens (amnesty) don't be in any hurry to see the Doctor !

i thinks its even way worse than that.
-

I'm just not sure the timeline is completely correct but my point was that if there are Republican ideas in the bill and they want some credit for it then all they have to do is stand up and take credit. No one is stopping them and in fact I'm sure the Dems would welcome it. The problem is that the Repubs run away from bipartisanship even when the bill contains their own ideas.
As soon as the Dems include a Repub idea the Repubs automatically turn against it.
McCain and others voted against bills that they themselves sponsored as soon as the Dems jumped on board.

so under the new plan illegals will get health care??

Obama is going to push amnesty for them this year and they will then be covered. Welcome to MAObamanation.
-

No.

No.
Once they get amnesty they will. That was the promise obama made to louis guitirez of IL to support this mess.

School fees already include health insurance. Forcing the parent's carrier to cover their children will cause their premium to rocket to duplicate what's already provided.
The ideal behind covering those with pre-existing conditions and not allowing them to be dropped is a good one, but the biggest benefactors to this bill is the healthcare industry, with an estimated 32 million new subscribers. Hence the pharmaceuticals and insurance providers supported this bill.

I'm against amnesty.
-
I'm against amnesty.
Obama is for it, and it is next on his list.
So if you need to see a Doctor, better go before Obama's Amnesty gets bribed and bullied into law, and you have 30 million Mexicans waiting in line to see your Doctor.
-
amnesty is such a load of shit. and both candidates wanted it last time. I just don't get it. America doesn't really need those 12 million illegal employees. We have way more than 12 million people without jobs right now.

amnesty is such a load of shit.

What the president just demonstrated is it doesn't matter what the majority of the people in this country think.
-

Actually, amnesty was the last president's idea.
Also, Politifacts.com is a good source to help debunk myths from all parties about illegal immigration and misquotes about healthcare.

It was one of the reasons I hated GWB with a passion. That does not make it ok for maobama to do. And yes, that piece of filth obama plans on amnesty and putting these people on all sorts of social welfare programs.
-
I am not for amnesty.
But don't stick your head in the sand. Illegals are here doing jobs.
Being hired by taxpayers who pay them under the books.
They aren't going anywhere. I don't believe in rewarding them with rights since they are here unlawfully.
And that goes for any illegal from any country in the world....mexico, ireland, africa, poland, etc

The insurance companies pretty much know this. Therefore, they are going to BLEED consumers for the next three years plus. And, there's not a darn thing Obama can do about it, until 2014.

I would bring the troops home, put them on the border, and put ice officers in every hospital and jail. I could solve our illegal alien situation in a year.
