So you have no idea what the final product will be. And from the looks of it the Dems are continuing to make back door deals and the insurance companies will come out on top making a huge profit and decisions about your health care based on income.

OK...

The elimination of preexisting conditions is in all versions of the bill. If we're talking about what will be enacted, I'll go for that over "from the looks of it".

No. I said I know they are making deals to maintain their profit margin.

And over the past 5 years or so their profits have gone up 1000% while patients costs have risen over 300%. There is something wrong with that picture. (I don't remember where I got those numbers but I believe it may have been Matt Tiabbi on Morning Joe.) |

Did anyone see Jon's discussion with Betsy McCaughey on the new heathcare bill last week on The Daily Show? The extended discussion is available at thedailyshow.com.
Sorry if this was mentioned already. I don't have time to look thru all 10 pages of this thread. Last edited by Datalyss; 08-24-2009 at 07:06 PM. |

Hey sugarpop - a study with the group "Physicians for a National Health Program" and their conclusions might not be the most UN-biased if you know what I mean.

Physicians should be uniquely qualified to talk about it, don't you think? Regardless of whether they want a national health program or not... And I agree, they are probably not biased... :p

Seems to me it could be written so the IRS has to divulge that information for anyone requesting "affordability credits".
Leave up to the individual to decide whether they want the credits or privacy.

Representive Anthony Weiner discussed health care reform with Bill Maher on Sept. 11 on Real Time. It was awesome. He wants a single payer system though, and he explained that if we went to single payer, the thing would pay for itself through all the money saved from premiums and profits, and of course those high salaries costs hundreds of millions of dollars. I honestly don't know why democrats didn't argue for that. As Bill Moyers said recently, "I think...too many Democrats have had their spines surgically removed." |
