Trust the Feds to run our health care?

Never said it would.  Said it's unconstitutional.

 

Do you always ignore everything you don't like to see?

And the real problem with this is that the insurance company profits will all be short term.  The key will be to figure out when to sell your insurance company stocks.  Because, obamacare will eventually drive all the private companies out of business, forcing each and everyone to buy insurance (and eventually health care) from the federal government.  Then they "got ya".

 

No the solution is to bring down the cost of healthcare by doing everything possible to give each and every consumer the ability to make purchase decisions just like we do for any other service.  Then the costs will be driven down, and service improved, through competition.  Today, because we don't really pay for our health care services directly, there is no competition.

Seroiusly?

you don't think we already have that power as consumers? It's the lack of money to pay for it. Competition my ass. You must have never had to look for a doctor, pharmacy, or insurance company in the phone book. REALLY.

 

No you are only on one track. It's an issue of affordability and the huge profits they are making now. You pointed it out so many times in your posts but didn't seem to mind thast this is a multi trillion dollar a year profit game, and that they are major players in fighting the healcare reform debacle.  The costs are only getting higher and have been since I was a young girl. I have four health issues no insurer will touch due their wonderfully clever competition driven? pre-existing no coverage clauses. The last visit to the pharmacy that offers at least seven venues within 40min of our front door, cost me a months grocery bill for 31 pills that I must do all over again along with the 13 other meds we need that some we cannot get any coverage or find generics. All at a cost that has kept us right on the verge of hard financial decision making. And the costs are only to go up you say because of obama? Wed are insurance poor to say the least. You are quite adept at pointing out the virtues of the game in profit taking but offer nothing in grand ideas to any alternative. All I ever read is how all that money will be in the hands of the government, not how shamefull the system already is. I don't blame obama for wanting to repair our system, just the way he says we HAVE TO BUY IT OR BE FINED and that jobs wasn't more important than this, at least not before we fix healthcare. No sir I don't like it for these reason. It IS paramount we stop these greedy profiteers before it's too late. Hell perhaps it already is.
