Feds to decide which health insurance benefits you'll get

[Revere]

Because you're too stupid to work that out with your employer.

And behind closed doors, where nobody who was elected to anything will decide.

Panel members include economists, consumer advocates, a state health commissioner and a former CEO of insurer WellPoint. By fall, it'll make recommendations on factors HHS should consider in drawing up the benefit package.

Because you're too stupid to work that out with your employer.

Since when is your employer a health insurance company?

So much for the idea that health care is a "right".

If health care were a right, you could buy whatever kind you wanted (from anywhere you wanted) and it would be illegal for the government to stop you.

Bullshit. Claims are the biggest, and only increasing cost of health care.

To save money you will send an email to government officials, the government employee who failed to get a job in the real world will determine if your symptoms merit a visit. I base this on my experience in trying to get an appointment with immigrations to fix mistakes the good intentioned government employees made which is costing my thousands.

More government is what everyone who advocates for more government deserves.

Exactly what your insurance company does now, but at a fraction of the cost.

I am forty seven and have never had to use my medical insurance, knock on wood, of course dental insurance is another thing.

The government can do something for a fraction of the cost, if that is what you meant how come the government does everything at ten times the cost. Every hear the cost of a government toilet or hammer.

Why should government interfere with you and the type or amount of health insurance you want to buy?

hi everybody,,,
In my view if you have to save your money.Please send an email to government officials.(Mainly those who failed to get a job).Then they scruitinize your detail and determine weather you are eligible or not.
