| The main issue with health care costs, and thus insurance, is that the person getting health care is not the person paying for it. Thus there is no incentive to shop around, to economize, etc. Obamacare does nothing to change that calculus. In fact it makes it worse. The result will be skyrocketing health care costs and a moribund system as the gov't squeezes more and more profit out of it. Eventually health care will become rationed. And yes, death panels. explain this exactly? are you angry because people get free health care? if this is the case why shouldnt they be forced to pay into the system?

But the fact is that we have a largely 3rd party payer system here, whether that party is Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross etc. That encourages people to use medical services indiscriminately because someone else is picking up the tab. The uninsured is a very small part of the problem. Most people going to the ER have insurance.

Most people going to the ER have insurance. the model i think that should be followed (if not single payer) is the kaiser model. as they are a non profit and both sell insurance as well as own and operate their own hospitals and HC facilities. thus everything is under one roof. the uninsured are a huge problem, the only consume services, but do not pay into the system. dont you think they should have to pay into the system? http://www.factcheck.org/2009/03/uninsured-us-citizens/ the uninsured make up rough% of the general population and are typically well under the poverty level. (based on a population estimate of 307 million - i googled it)

| If everyone wants government run health care than the people of each state should vote and give their state the power to run their health care which is going to mean tax increases. Powers not given to the Federal government are reserved for the states, right? That way NY and CA can have government run health care and the taxpayers of the other states don't have to foot the bill. If you want nationwide health care then there has to be a constitutional amendment. Have an amendment giving the power to the Federal government to have universal health care and its done. If the majority of Americans throughout the country want it than surely an amendment can be passed? That's just it. The majority of Americans are against this health care bill ever since it was passed. The majority still wants it repealed. Health Care Law - Rasmussen Reports™ Look at the cost of Medicare and Medicaid 817 Billion Doctor's are not taking any new patients who are on Medicare, because they can't afford it. It has a cap on what they will get paid for services. You have any idea how long you are going to have to wait to get an appointment? Try at least 3 to 5 months. Premiums are still going up. The cost to state governments and companies. Why do you think the majority of Americans have never wanted government Health care. Ever since Teddy Roosevelt to today the majority has not wanted it. |

Uninsured U.S. Citizens | FactCheck.org the uninsured make up rough% of the general population and are typically well under the poverty level. (based on a population estimate of 307 million - i googled it) Generally the theme should be to push as much responsibility on the individual as possible. This way people make their own decisions, which usually end up costing less. The uninsured are not that big a factor in health care costs. They are a factor, but there are otehr much bigger ones.

Ever since Teddy Roosevelt to today the majority has not wanted it. premiums increased 100% from 2000-2009 before this new law was even signed. how is this the new laws fault? explain to me again what exact part of the new health care law you dont like, because all are see are opinions on "possible affects" or "existing problems"

(based on a population estimate of 307 million - i googled it) Under the new Health Care plan Seniors will start going to emergency rooms, because Dr's are refusing to take new patients under Medicare. They can't afford it. We got a whole lot of babyboomers going on medicare. So that means a whole lot are going to go the emergency rooms. Where else will they go if they can't get a regular Dr. to see them. |
| You're drooling cretin, wipe your chin.. Quote: you pay your premiums for health care services. Again, healthcare is provided with the assumption that all will utilize the service. Insurance assumes that very few will file a claim. You're not just wrong here, you're utterly fucking stupid. Quote: check ups, vaccination, physicals, etc. and when your premium dollars dont cover the costs of you treatments, Are you sure you've thought this through? Seriously dude, can't you see how abysmally stupid your claim is? I know you love and serve your party - but.... Quote: thanks for not disputing that none of those things are in the constitution. (Could you be anymore fucking irrelevant?) Quote: do you have a supreme court ruling youd like to reference, or are you making things up as usual? Quote: all states have financial responsibility laws, which translates to either a $25,000 bond or mandatory auto insurance. In California, you must be able to cover $50,000 in personal injury and an additional $35,000 in property damage. Tennessee requires $100,000 in bond or escrow, or insurance to cover the same. Each state is free to set their own laws regarding financial responsibility. What is a "financial responsibility" law? Quote: prove this! between 2000 and 2009 health care premiums doubled all thanks to the new health care law right? oh wait a min.....

| End corporate deductibility of insurance premiums. Lower tax rates so people can shop for their own insurance. Allow insurance to be sold across state lines. Tort reform. Generally the theme should be to push as much responsibility on the individual as possible. This way people make their own decisions, which usually end up costing less. The uninsured are not that big a factor in health care costs. They are a factor, but there are otehr much bigger ones. Per the new health care law, you can now take your health insurance across state lines (thanks for agreeing with the new law finally) so the tax credits in the new health care law to help pay for premiums are a good things? (thanks for agreeing again) so what is your solution to pay for the people consume health care but dont pay into the system? you still havent answered this question..... the uninsured cost the US health care system over $125 billion annually (best i could find was a 2004 article from Kaiser - http://www.kff.org/uninsured/upload/...l-Spending.pdf) thats not a small number, but its a number that is still passed on the rest of us.

| You're drooling cretin, wipe your chin.. Quote: you pay your premiums for health care services. Again, healthcare is provided with the assumption that all will utilize the service. Insurance assumes that very few will file a claim. so what youre saying is that your gym membership is actually insurance. when you get sick or hurt you can go to them and they will give you care? that really shows your stupidity. as the amount of money you pay in HC premiums never is the exact same cost of services you receive. some years you pay more, some years you pay less. when you consume more services than you pay for, they are covered by other people premiums. i dont think ive ever heard someone call a gym membership a "premium" ![]() ![]() ![]() must be the same thing as the country club premium and museum premium....So coverage payments don't cover the cost of "check ups, vaccination, physicals, etc," but we assume ALL will utilize these - but we will take from the excess of others to cover them... what?? are you claiming that your premiums dont cover check ups, vaccinations and physicals? if thats your argument, your really really really dumb I believe Santa Clara is generally cited as precedent for ruling the compulsion to purchase goods violates the 14th amendment equal protection clause. you can believe all you want, its doesnt make it true. i bet you still believe in santa claus, the easter bunny and tooth fairy as well In California, you must be able to cover $50,000 in personal injury and an additional $35,000 in property damage. Tennessee requires $100,000 in bond or escrow, or insurance to cover the same. thats the insurance minimum, not the financial responsibility minimum per the DMV, you can put a cash bond on file with the state for $35,000 (i apologize i said $25k, as it has since gone up) - Each state is free to set their own laws regarding financial responsibility. yes you are still mandated by the government What is a "financial responsibility" law? Quote: prove this! between 2000 and 2009 health care premiums doubled all thanks to the new health care law right? oh wait a min..... New Study Shows Higher Health Care Costs under Obamacare | The Foundry thanks for quoting a conservative website that is know to report inaccuracies and half truths. Quote: im dont see the "right to trade time and labor for the things ones values" written specificallyin the constitution. please show me where this is.... still dont see those exact words, as this is his argument, that the government cant do anything that is not exactly written in the constitution. Try again, sparky.

So the health care law allows you to buy insurance across state lines?? What section is that in? How is another gov't subsidy a good thing? When did I say it was? Making health care cheaper will allow more people to pay for it. Obamacare was initially touted as a fix for the uninsured. In fact their own figures show a very minor change. In MA they found people who were uninsured suddenly became insured after they got sick. How shifting the burden of people who cannot pay from one entity to another is going to help is a mystery to me.

Starting Jan. 1, 2016, two or more states will be able to use a compact to allow qualified health plans based in the participating states to sell health insurance in all participating states. you said you want to eliminate the tax breaks corporations gets for providing HC to its employees, how does that lower taxes? how do you suggest we made health care costs decrease? i still havent heard an answer.
