New U.S. Healthcare Reform, No New Business for Insurance Co

[Neu California]

And politicians are even worse. The Social Security Administation spent $700,000 on a party. These people are supposed to be PUBLIC SERVANTS. And they go party at the taxpayers expense. In a middle of an economic depression. When unemployement is almost at a double digit rate. And counting the underemployed, and people who stopped looking the unemployment level is 21%. So 1 out of 5 people are out of work, and politicians are partying.

Again, source?

Firstly the majority of Americans ARE insured, and its the majority that carry America. The Republicans don't want to help cut cost, because they don't feel that someone else should be paying for your healthcare. Its not my job to pay for your healthcare and you have no right to steal money from me or any other American to pay for your health insurance. I feel bad that your mother is uninsured, but she is not my responsibility.[/quote]

It's this society job to help each other because if the poor and mid class go down the whole economy will collaspse and don't tell me that majority maybe insured but most of them have to pay the majortity of the bill cause the greedy companies use the money we give for vacations and treatments at the spa not to pay off someones helth expenses like they should.[/quote]

No they shouldn't its their money and they can do what ever they want with it, they have no obligation to pay for anyones healthcare, and no one has the right to steal their money.

*sigh*

I'm not wading through the ideological bickering, so I'll just ask: Has anyone even tried to tie the actual language of the bill to the absurd allegations made in the OP and IBD editorial?

See, e.g., viewtopic.php?p=254703#p254703; viewtopic.php?p=254937#p254937

[Opola]

correct, the US needs reform but universal healthcare but instead more market competition.

the bill was linked twice on the first page and no one supporting the idea that the OP was correct bothered to respond.

So, when do you guys think you'll be able to found the Ferengi Empire?

Really? There's a lack of competition in the health insurance market? You could have fooled me.

thats why the government is going to take care of it. no one can expect the rich to do so out of the goodness of their hearts.

I don't agree with anyone STEALING money, but they don't steal money, they have salaries just like everyone else and they use their salaries on themselves.

A three-day conference attended by 700 officials at about $1,000 each is hardly an extravagant party. Nice try.

We need to start caring about the lower and middle class citizens instead of the rich folk by start regulating the economy and welfare. Plus getting universal healthcare through or regulate the private companies

yes we do. letting the insurance companies do business on a denial-of-benefits model is insane. if they cant run an honest business, they need to be eliminated.

I never said extravagant. I said not necessary. We are in the middle of an economic depression. That expense not justifiable.

Arguable. Given the death threats against them and the difficulty of running a major agency amongst the economic crisis, perhaps the meeting was justifiable.

Regardless, it is the obvious evidence of out-of-control politicians you claimed it to be.

One that's probably just a meeting of officals talkin plus only a 1,000 no very much and two were in a reccesion pal

The rich don't have to do anything they don't want to and the government won't take care of anything, because in the United States of America individual freedom is held in high regard and the government won't be forcing anyone to do anything. I understand you're for stealing money, but I am against stealing.

Firstly stop saying middle class like you're talking about the middle class, you're not talking about them alright. Welfare should be minimized as much as possible.

[Neu California]

Ignoring that this wasn't addressed at me...

First off, it's not stealing if it's legal (see 16th amendment).

Secondly, how else is the gov't supposed to fund itself without taxes.

Thirdly, if taxes are here to stay, shouldn't thay fall more on those who can most afford it?

i think you are wrong.

health care reform is going to pass

[United Dependencies]

Perhaps government should do like they do with utilities and make health care a natural monopoly. Or subsidise it for those who are unable to pay.
