You don't want coverage because you're independently wealthy and can afford a major surgery if something happens to you today?
This doesn't make any sense.
And I've worked in public hospital administration for years and I can tell you it's not always much better. And the public insurance companies aren't efficient at all. I work in a hospital that is 60% covered. Last year we only had 38% of procedures reimbursed. And Medicare paid out much more than public insurance companies, so a lot of what they are telling you, lies.
Beginning in 2014, you will have the option to buy health insurance in the new exchange but will not get any subsidies to help with premiums or out-of-pocket expenses.
You will not pay any additional taxes.
want to know how it will affect you?
What does the health care bill mean to me? (washingtonpost.com)
here's what it said for me:
medicare still does though turn down people like my grandmother who has alheimzers but thank god some of her treatments were picked up by cigna. my stepdad was telling the truth though, he could have lied to me but whom to do you mean lied to me.
This will soon change. You can't expect to pay in for a month get everything fixed and then get out.in maine people could jump in and out of the state run insurance at any time without having mandatory coverage.
So basically you want to be a betting man and hope you never get sick? Don't fine me until I get sick.what i meant was, one should only be fined if they try to get the health coverage after getting sick and going into the hospital.
Of course Medicare will still turn down, not everything is treatable or worthy of covering.
So basically you want to be a betting man and hope you never get sick? Don't fine me until I get sick.
according to whom? should the govt decide what is worthy of covering?
Well, someone has to decide. And I think it's better if some public organisation (one whose main goal isn't to profit from health care premiums) does it than the insurance organisation themselves. Because then coverage would be even less (and/or premiums much higher).
The system might not be perfect, but nothing is. And it's better than no system at all. At least now there's hope that other parties will also try to improve it, instead of sandbagging anything that makes people better off.
It's not about faith in government, it's about lack of faith in (private) insurance companies.
but that is who will be in charge of it now, the same governement who got us into an unnecessary war, the same government who has me contributing thousands of dollars every year into bankrupt programs, the same government who seem to can't agree on how to handle terror, the same government who turned down my grandmother with alheimzers and now they are asking me to have faith again? you are a better man than me sir, truly.
By that logic we should support anarchy since seemingly government is unable to do anything right at all.
I was going to tell this is no big f*cking deal,
but I would have been wrong.
Apparently, it is.
hey i could be wrong maybe it is no big deal.
I am in favor of government oversite, not government run.
I am now sure how you can have such extensive and intrusive oversight of private bodies without encroaching on their legal rights as separate legal entities.
It would strike me that this would be a far more frightening extension of the government for most people who are not very left on the spectrum.
I think he was more referencing Joe Biden's comment to the President.
according to whom? should the govt decide what is worthy of covering? the same govt that wanted to go to war with iraq? no thanks
nope i have insurance but if i didn't, it would be my responsibility to pay for stuff if it happened to me, for better or worse.
So you trust the collective of profit only insurance companies more?
And the liklihood of you being to afford the bill after a major accident or suddenly needing long term care is almost nil, so you would just be a drain.
No but they did help out my family. They def. need more oversite. Should the government take over life insurance, homeowners , and car insurance next? As I said, almost every big social program the government has created is looming on bankruptcy, what happens when health care becomes bankrupt? but hey i could be wrong.
A drain on whom? I would have long term disablility insurance.
I'm glad they helped your family, but you're the minority. More times than not if medicare won't touch it most insurances definately won't touch it. You don't seem to get it. You will always have some entity deciding if you get treatment or not, there is NO way around that. So now with this bill you'll have a choice between those that are there purely for profit, or a public organization...
Please do not compare my life with a car. Bad leap in logic.
Drain on me. And no, more than likely in this scenario you wouldn't have disability insurance.
Life and car insurance are luxuries... like I said, no comparison.not trying to campare your life just insurance. i just got going on different kinds of insurance...how about just life insurance then?
Then why not privatize the military, NASA, or our highway construction...of course i get it, I just don't trust the government to do it when big government programs seem to be headed for bankruptcy...that is a proven fact and you must concede that. You can't tell me you aren't worried that the govt handling something so large doesn't bother you in the least. businesses can't compete with the govt because if a business is run poorly, it goes out of business. (never thought i would write that word so many times) i would love for you to name a company that is almost 12 trillion in debt and continues to be in business.
also, my long term disabliltiy is much cheaper than my health insurance.

ok see your point, well what if anything goes wrong in the private sector should the govt take over? Should the govt take over the airlines?
I think private roads are fine, most turnpikes that I pay tolls for are in much better shape that interstates. on Govt roads have you ever seen how long construction takes?
as far as nasa, i know i spend much more money on medicare and SS during the course of the year. i have never heard anyone say, that NASA is killing our economy.
