What a vile waste of U.S. taxpayer money...

The Democrat Statists that foisted this crap on the res of us. It's in the Healthcare Law they voted for. You have nameless faceless bureaucrats making decisions to pay for treatment or not.

[death]

So you still believe it, eh? Pathetic. The irony is that under a private plan, administrators of those plans make life/death decisions every day, but that has never seemed to bother anyone.

It's really frustrating that after all this time, some of you people continue to believe that the health care reform will operate as a universal program administered by the government, when in fact, insurance companies will still be making the decisions on coverage, not the government.

Actually, the discussion of "death panls" was iun regard to the "government plan" if one was to be included in the reform.

You see, with private carriers, you opt to choose the policy...in plan, out of plan, full coverage, deductable...all choices...and yes, sometimes the plan you choose will allow the insuracne company to deny you what you need...but that was based on the plan you opted for.

But if the government ran a plan, the only way it could be coist effective is if they, the government, made the same decisions....but you would not have a choice of plan...it would have been a one size fits all plan...

Yes, death panels was a strong term to use....but as you suggest...they already exist in the private carriers.

Imagine the government making those decisions and you having no choice but to accept the only plan available.

Insurance companies will be competing with each other for the pools of people to be covered, just as it happens now when an employer decides to choose an insurer offering the best basic coverage for the company. OF COURSE everyone won't get every kind of coverage they want! They don't now! Only if they opt for a private "Cadillac" plan can they do that. The only one-size-fits-all insurance plan run by the government is Medicare.
 
Only an idiot would let gov. use the airwaves for propaganda like this.
I can't find the section in the Constitution about gov. having the authority to advertise about how wonderful it is forcing people into a contractual commitments with health insurers.

How thick did you want the Constitution to be?
It's thick enough.
The Fed. gov. was given very little power, except what was stolen by progressives.
Maybe we can keep our Republic, maybe not.
Yes, the 10th amendment covers the rest. Government has no authority to do it. The left in particular just makes me laugh when they say the right is ignoring the Constitution. That would be unlike them, who ignore the first (so called campaign finance reform, "fairness doctorine"), second (guns), fifth (protection of private property) and ninth and tenth (constitutional authority). They reverse the commerce clause to allow government to restrict trade and go into intra state commerce rather then it's intent which is to prevent States from having protectionist interstate trade. They make up constitutional rights like the right to an abortion. I'm pro-choice, but the constitution doesn't address it, sorry. Then they say the right ignores the Constitution. Surreee, that's the problem. They do actually, it's just the left saying it I'm amused by.

And it's going to rain gum drops and lollipops. I'm a small business owner (I own two businesses) and dealing with this new Obamacare is a nightmare. I thought it was bad before. I'm pretty close to just calling it a day and canceling insurance completely. Of course that's what Obama actually wants. He couldn't get socialized medicine passed. So plan B is you destroy private insurance and then everyone runs to government for a solution. And it just may work, TBD.
 
So it is OK if corporations control the airways with pure nonsense, but government is held to some absurd standard? One has to laugh at the source of this OP, and their 'about statement' (below). They call them conservative and then say they are non-partisan. Only a fool could write that oxymoron. Weird how conservatives are for a dog eat dog world, and then mention Medicare change - don't they hate that too. Hypocrite thy name is corporate conservative tool.

So you are against the 1st amendment but FOR government waste. Got it. Typical leftist moron.
 
If we had listened to the Republicans, we could have had their health care plan. "Die Quickly". Then we wouldn't need to worry about health care and medicare and social security and all that other nonsense.

We need to concentrate on tax breaks for people making over a million dollars a year.

Listen to Republicans. Those people have their priorities straight. They KNOW what is good for the country.
no, that was asshole alan graysons idea
glad to see you agree with that pathetic LOSER

To be more precise, the Republican plan was and still is:

1- Don't get sick
2- If you do get sick, die quickly

Although to be honest, step #2 only matters if you want to avoid suffering or prefer to leave something for the people you will leave behind. And there is the Terri Schiavo exception of course (keeping people alive against the wishes of the people that should decide)
 
Is this a waste of taxpayer's $$:
Retiring military officers with no combat injuries drawing an extra % of pay for life for a disability. They sprained an ankle or had a sore shoulder and received a rating at retirement or before retirement to boost their retirement pay.
And then work a full time job with no problem after retirement with their disability increase in pay.
This is wide spread now. My neighbor did it, brags about it and works a full time job with the US Forestry Department now.
I like the guy but there is nothing wrong with him at all and he receives an extra 10K or more a year for this.

It's not a lie, it's the summarized truth.

Will Republicans force a mandate? Will they ban pre-existing conditions? Remove lifetime caps? Prevent insurance companies from dropping people? Etc.

The answers are always no.

The end result is always the same:
1- an insurance you fear to use (if you can even afford it) and
2- an insurance that will abandon you when you become too much of a burden.

Hence
1- Do not get sick and
2- If you do, die quickly

in other words, something to totally make up on your own

Yeah, look at McCain, a perfect example of a 100% disabled veteran drawing disability, drawing POW pay from 50 years ago, a military pension & Social Security, a congressional salary, medical benefits and lifetime pension, all the while hiking a mile down and out of the Grand Canyon, flying across America to serve in Congress, and running for office and traveling all over the nation in a bus and car. How do these 100% disabled military people manage?? :lol::lol:


He is one of the reasons I question a disabled parking spot in front of Extreme Sports Equipment store.

If I had my way, you would have served in the military along side him, so your penalty for not supporting America is paying 1/2 of his disability and whining about it. Him working, he pays the other 1/2 in his taxes.

Ahh, Mr. Clown, does that mean cons are now idiots? Because Bush signed the Executive Order for this BS.
Mr. shitnao,
Why would I answer for a "cons", since I am not one. Whatever a con is? You expect me, a non-con, to answer for "cons". Do communists always ask stupid questions, it seems like you do.
I will tell you this: Bush was/is a progressive/liberal. I didn't vote for him and I disagreed with much of what he did. Obowmao on the other-hand is your socialist G-d, enjoy.:lol:
 
How hard up do you have to be to stoop to using Andy Griffith to lie to seniors?

Can you imagine how insutling this is to the seniors that actually know what's going on?

They are lying to our mothers and grandmothers, to fool them into thinking everything is hunky-dory.

oh well

I heard about this new company that's going to go big next year selling a brand new food that everyone will love.

It's called

Soylent Green.

Wow, could you find an even better exaggeration? Yours beats the 'Death panels' by miles and miles. Maybe you should also talk about the secret concentration camps set up by the US government.

What ARE you talking about?

Campaign finance reform is dead, now and in the future, thanks to the USSC decision in Citizens.

Nobody has proposed taking your guns away from you.

Intrastate commerce? Regarding what issue? Health care reform? Last I looked, states still retain the power to regulate the business of insurance.

Abortion -- again, look no further than the USSC. (But of course I digress: No Republican ever has an abortion just because she wants one, eh?)

All I can say is that there are any number of FAQ sites explaining, in simple layterms, how the bill will affect businesses (big and small). If I can find them and understand, why can't you?
