Boehner's Health Care Bill At Odds With Pre-Existing GOP Positions

Health care reform without the reform, just like the GOP budget with no numbers.

You mean the GOP are actually trying to DRAFT legislation?

It must feel good when they finally move away from the "Party of No" mantra.

Of course, as we see in this example, drafting legislation isn't as easy as the Dems make it look. It's hard to make enough people happy to pass it as LAW.

Unfortunately, the GOP took to long to partake in this process, so now their 'Conservative-nut" base, has abandoned them, and are making plans to bury them in 2010 and 2012 elections.

So sad...

I for one demand the right to lose my health insurance and pay exhorbitant premiums because I am 51 and once had Thyroid Cancer. I think it's important that I empty my 401K rather than allow socialism to take over my healthcare. I know health insurance premiums can run $1000.00 a month but profits are good for the economy. By my cleaning out my 401K I subsidize the profits of these health insurance giants. And that makes us all wealthier. They can negotiate lower prices because someone without insurance went bankrupt. This is an important underpinning to keeping our health insurance costs lower than they otherwise would be... a healthy number of people going bankrupt because they were denied healthcare coverage or didn't have $12,000 a year to pay the premiums because they had a pre-existing condition.

What is Boehner thinking? Dimwit!

Here is what we need:

1) Competition to drastically lower the cost of health care. This means breaking up the union like AMA & ADA. Requiring proven alternative health care methodologies & products be given equal footing by insurers.

2) Repeal the Anti-trust exemption the Insurance Cartel has.

3) Allow Insurance to be bought across State lines, but only if #2 is implemented and the Justice Department is staffed sufficiently to seriously prosecute violations of antitrust.

4) Ban all lobbyists from access to our elected or appointed government officials.

5) Expanded Medical Savings/Investment Accounts - Deduct 5% of payroll weekly which is then automatically placed in individually OWNED accounts in which to draw from for either insurance or actual expenses. Accounts will accrue and after the age of 65 be able to be drawn down for retirement Individuals may opt out if they proof financial viability or have some other insurance plan in place.

This article is a Huff and Puss left wing attempt to discredit everything and anything the Republicans put forth. I suggest all who read the article also read what the Republicans have REALLY proposed before issuing judgement. Consider the source of this article.....biased trash.

Don't get sick .

And if you do get sick .....

Die Quickly!

That's the present Republican parties only plan.

Supposedly there are 50,000,000 in U.S without healthcare but Per THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICES own numbers, lets look at what that consists of to determine if we need an overhaul.
1st, nearly 10,000,000 of that number includes people who are not citizens.
2nd, roughly 17,000,000 of the people classed as uninsured live in households making $50,000 or more a year and can technically afford to buy health insurance but choose not to.
3rd, 45% of all of the "uninsured" will be insured again within 4 months who then get insurance.
In conclusion, there's no crisis need for nationalized or governmental healthcare.
Real tort reform, the kind trial lawyer loving Democrats have fought for 50 years, is what will bring costs down.
We should deport illegal's who turn up for health care.
Cobra expansion or minor subsidy would address the short term needs.
Those earning over 50k who don't buy it should not be aided for their own stupidity or choice.

Preexisting Conditions And Obamas Health Care Horror Story Lies:
Health care companies don't deny you care when you let them know about a preexisting condition, they simply charge you more.
On the other hand when you lie about preexisting conditions you violate the contract and you get coverage denied, as you should since you are cheating them and your lies will cost me and others more.

-The
woman denied care because of a preexisting acne problem she did not tell of was actually denied due to a failed to report a previous heart condition and did not list her weight accurately..she lied.
-The IL man obama said died due to canceled coverage due to an undisclosed case of gallstones, the man did lose ins. got it back retroactively and had treatment his family says kept him alive for 4 years!
