Would you like an even bigger brush? How about you specifically tell us how blacks and latinos will now have health care compared to before? What changed?
I thought healthcare was something you pay for yourself, either on your own or through your work. Unless you believe only white people should pay. BTW if you believe heathcare should be free from the State, then I also want Auto, Life and mortage Insurance
In 2014 all Americans will be required to have health insurance.The poor will get government subsidies to to pay for healthcare Those with incomes up to 350â400% of the federal poverty level will pay a maximum of 10 % of their income on health ins.those with incomes of 100â150% of federal poverty level will pay a maximum of 4 % of their income on health ins Medicaid eligibility will be expanded. Individuals with income up to 133% of the poverty line qualify for coverage, including adults without dependent children a maximum of $2000 annual deductible for a plan covering a single individual or $4000 annual deductible for any other plan No more"pre existing conditions" denials. Many blacks who get turned down for health ins due to high blood pressure or other "pre existing conditions" will be able to get coverage -------------------------------------- As stated by the Census Bureau, people of Hispanic origin were the most affected by being uninsured; nearly a third of Hispanics lack health insurance. In 2004, about 33% of Latinos were uninsured as opposed to 10% of white, non-Latinos [7]
Currently insurers can deny you insurance based on pre existing conditions,deny claims for BS reasons and drop your coverage for BS reasons even if you wanted to pay for it yourself In the real world I dont expect someone making min wage to afford the services of doctors and hospitals.1 trip to the hospital can cost what they make in a year
So let me get this straight, poor people who weren't paying for health insurance in the past will now be forced to pay for it?
Yes,4-10 % of their income for it.(Now you cant say its free) The Republican governor and likely 2012 GOP nominee who Obamacare was copied from calls it personal responsibility and conservative <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sjefrWJ1SgQ?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sjefrWJ1SgQ?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/d2bW0cwMRnY?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/d2bW0cwMRnY?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
phenomena is not a leftist, if you ever bothered to read some his posts. Nor are you too bright to not pick up sarcasm when you read it, you dolt. Not the first time either.
Yeah, I'm pretty libertarian... It was sarcasm. Petasmo or whatever his name can have tunnel vision of literalism sometimes, and is not always the most perceptive about the actual nature of some remarks. It's okay just a misunderstanding. But what he said was true, Jesse Jackson and many other black leaders claim that only whites can be racist. Thank god for black leaders such as Larry Elders and that other black conservative talk show host in Atlanta who's name I forgot. They are the ACTUAL heroes of the black community.
