Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said Wednesday he fears a "train wreck" as the Obama administration implements its signature healthcare law.
He pressed Sebelius to explain how her department will overcome entrenched misunderstandings about what the healthcare law does.
"Small businesses have no idea what to do, what to expect," Baucus said.
Citing anecdotal evidence from small businesses in his home state, Baucus asked Sebelius for specifics about how it is measuring public understanding of the law.
"You need data. Do you have any data? You've never given me data. You only give me concepts, frankly," he said.
Sebelius said in response that the administration is not independently monitoring public awareness of specific provisions but will be embarking on an education campaign beginning this summer.
Baucus warns of 'huge train wreck' enacting ObamaCare provisions - The Hill's Healthwatch
"EDUCATION CAMPAIGN"???
They just may want to start with a simple math exercise that was the MAJOR reason this Obamamonation passed by only 6 votes!
Most of the lawmakers believed Obama knew his math when Obama said ON August 21, 2009:
"We are not a nation that accepts nearly 46 million uninsured men, women and children,"
46 Million Uninsured: A Look Behind The Number : NPR
BIGGEST F...KING LIE EVER!!
And that is proven with THESE FACTS!!!
GIVEN: The Census bureau says 10 million of the 46 million "uninsured' are not citizens
leaving 36 million NOT 46 million! 10 million are NOT CITIZENS yet Obama counts them as "uninsured"! BOGUS!
Source: Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2009 - Income & Wealth - Newsroom - U.S. Census Bureau
GIVEN: 14 million are eligible for Medicaid..but they are counted as "uninsured" . leaving 22 million
Source: http://coverageforall.org/pdf/BC-BS_Uninsured-America.pdf
Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association contracted with the Actuarial Research Corporation (ARC) to provide a detailed analysis of the uninsured identified by the Census Bureau, which found:
- Of the 44.7 million non-elderly uninsured individuals identified in the 2004 Census Current Population Survey (CPS) data,
nearly one-third almost 14 million were reachable through existing government
health programs such as Medicaid and the State Childrens Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) under current rules.
REACHABLE meaning all these people had to do was enroll! NO money. NO risks! Just enroll!
14 million already eligible only need to register with MEDICAID! So now why is there 22 million still counted??
So far we've reduced the 46 million by 10 million NON-Citizens, 14 million that simply had to enroll as they were covered by Medicaid!
That leaves 22 million!
The last time I checked as an American I had the right to buy health insurance if I wanted to! That is MY RIGHT!
18 million people declaring that right that are under age 34, making over $50,000 a year decided it is cheaper just to pay out of pocket their
health needs then take up their employers' health plan.
Folks.. these are people who don't like to be called "free-loaders"! Their credit rating depends on their paying their bills so they are not the ones that
are the cause for hospitals absorbing the costs!
Source: CRISIS OF THE UNINSURED: 2009
When you subtract 18 million from 22 million that leaves 4 MILLION that truly want and need health insurance! NOT 46 million!
So Rockefeller et.al NOW finding out how totally stupid this effort to what insure 4 million people could have been done simply by
taxing the $200 billion lawyers earn 10% and use that to pay the premiums for the 4 million!
By reducing the 10% tax in relation to the decline of the $850 billion in defensive medicine that according to these ExpERTS!!
1,231 physicians...(90%) Ninety percent of physicians surveyed said:
In a recent Gallup survey, physicians attributed 34 percent of overall healthcare costs to defensive medicine and 21 percent of their practice to be defensive in nature. Specifically, they estimated that 35 percent of diagnostic tests, 29 percent of lab tests, 19 percent of hospitalizations, 14 percent of prescriptions, and 8 percent of surgeries were performed to avoid lawsuits.
Liability reform has been estimated to result in anywhere from a 5 percent to a 34 percent reduction in medical expenditures by reducing defensive medicine practices, with estimates of savings from $54 billion to $650 billion.
The costs of defensive medicine
So tell me again how the people that are implementing Obamacare have ANY idea of what they are doing because the simple math example:
10 million NOT citizens.. plus 14 million already covered by Medicaid and the 18 million that pay their bills and don't want or need health insurance adds up to
42 million when subtracted from obama's 46 million leaves 4 million truly need health insurance .. NOT 46 million!
BIGGEST LIE told since Hitler!!
