Hey...hey..hey...corruption in the insurance industry will be handled the same way corruption is handled on wall street, by watching porn.
I don't know for a fact what is in Obama care, just the spin from both sides. I don't plan on reading and doing the research on it either. I think my idea is better from what I've read and from what I know from experience with the health care industry. It's a mess, if your team comes up with something better or improvements on Obamacare I'd be open.
Health insurance co's and hospitals are in the top ten of major crooks in America right up there with congress and too big to fail banks.
Yet you fervently support it anyway I don't have a "team" anymore. And it's irrelevant even IF you are open to a better idea. Your team, the democraps, are not open to a better idea, yet you also support them anyway.
LOL , fevently ?? I think you have me confused with someone else. And yes my opinions are totally irrelevant, the only reason I even voted is because of the nuts on the right. If yall run some regular guys like you used to I probably wouldn't take the effort to vote.
I really wish that Democrats would have discarded their marxist idealogy and approached the healthcare industry with the idea of passing laws that would make insurers good citizens. I would like to have seen laws prohibiting cancelling an insurance policy for anything other than fraud on the part of the insured. The approach they took is in the form of price controls and those have a 2500 year history of never, ever working.. so what they did was get together with the insurers and make up a lot of bullshit that will not, in fact, slow down the obscene profits or runaway corruption. Now they are claiming the intellectual high ground because conservatives didn't have a plan, what a joke...
Thats true luke,there was very little thinking involved.They mostly just copied the health care plan of the guy you voted for a few months ago
I'll be reading "Beating Obamacare" by Betsy McCaughey. I suggest you do, too. After hearing her interview, it sounds like Obamacare is nothing like some in the left keep stating (no surprise). She has read and studied the entire bill. http://www.amazon.com/Beating-Obamacare-Your-Handbook-Healthcare/dp/1621570797 About the Author: Betsy McCaughey, Ph.D., is a health policy expert and the former Lt.

So, why not let the insurance co's charge more to people with unhealthy habits? Obamacare says they can't do that effectively. They are only allowed to charge a certain % over the median payment. All Obamacre does is put the existing system (employer paid HC) on steroids. Get laid off, lose your HC. The "right", as you put it, does have a better plan. Health savings accounts. I have one and used it to lower what would have cost $3,000 to $600. The only reason I did that is because I had an incentive to save since I am on the hook for the 1st $2,500 I spend each year. Look at Lasik and cosmetic surgery. Both have come down drastically in price and yet neither is covered by standard health insurance. That's the market at work. As long as you have those "fatties", again as you put it, paying a $20 co-pay, why the hell would they have any incentive to care about costs?
