could you be more specific? these sound suspiciously like talking points, and i know you work in health care, so you wouldn't just be repeating what you've heard, would you?
Let us know when you get specific answers.

NO, actually if you wanted insurance sold across state lines you would have to give DC more power and insurance less.
We've gone over this a hundred times, the fact that you constantly ignore it and keep grasping to that Hannity talking point just shows you don't understand the issue.
I deal with insurance companies everyday, I work in healthcare. I know exactly what kind of profits they make, and you are way off my friend.
i guess i really should have shopped around before getting into that ambulance.
Your County set's the rates for Ambulance/EMS cost. It is usually subsidized by property taxes.
I pay for schools but don't have any kids. Is that right ?
I don't think it's constitutional to require the purchase of a good. But what I would do is change the crazy notion that you can just show up for healthcare and expect not to pay for it. If you don't purchase homeowners insurance and your house burns down; good luck waiting for someone to build you a new one for free. Same with auto insurance.
From the day you're no longer covered under your parents insurance (which I think when fully implemented will be 35 years old under Obamacare), You must either show proof of insurance on your income tax returns or sign a waiver allowing hospitals, doctors, NPs, PTs and everyone else that may treat you should you show up at their door with no insurance an opportunity to garnish your wages until such time as your bill is paid.
Maybe we should amend the Constitution to enumerate the right of every child to have responsible, loving parents. But you can't have that any more than you can the right to healthcare because someone has to provide them for you.
Can you demand the goods or services of another human being without them losing some of their liberty?
The first 4 minutes of this clip are the best 4 minutes I've ever seen on The Glenn Beck Show. And Glenn Beck was sick that day.

States have the power to regulate insurance, not the Federal Government. Sean Hannity wasn't born when this notion was concieved.
Try Dunn and Bradstreet. more reliable than ACORN

Yeah, I heard that, too, that the AARP is still supporting this. As are a lot of doctors-I seem to recall polls stating that support for the bill among doctors was quite high.
I'm very confused as to why Republicans/conservatives are so against this bill. You DO realize that it incorporates quite a few Republican ideas, right? And some that are actually good ones at that? So if you really have a problem with the bill, maybe you're yelling at the wrong group of people, or the wrong person. It's not a perfect bill, no, but there is some good stuff in there.

you also seem to think that health care is just breast implants and contact lenses.
don't really have much of a choice to purchase said "goods and services" when your 6-year old gets cancer or if you have ever been rushed to the ER on a stretcher and spent a week in the ICU.
(and i still love the anti-poor resentment -- yes, those are the fuckers who are gaming the system, the poor people who get hit by cars and can't afford insurance and have the nerve to rack up $45,000 in hospital costs -- THOSE are the people who are ruining America! not the insurance companies! not Wall Street! the POORS!)

One other thing. One of the highest cost associated with higher medical cost is Lawsuits. OBGYN's are sued and get millions because the baby doesn't have the right color blue eyes. So where is the reins on the Evil trial lawyers?
We often discount, and don't expect them to pay it all off, but we put the idea in their head that it isn't free, nor could it ever be. We actually get more people who pay that way. We write off the rest. It's those small payments that allows us to not go broke, and often makes up the % we can't write off.
Yes. I neither have children, nor ride in ambulances, but the benefits to society from having both educated citizens and emergency care far outweigh the negatives of any tax subsidies of either of these things.
Government can and will do things to you the insurance Companies cannot.

We do more tests than we should because if we dont CYA , the Attorneys are going to sue us for not doing them. This is the close first reason why costs are skyrocketing. Problem is, Political contributions by the law associations. Where is Lawyer reform? You know how much difference that would make? That alone would save BILLIONS !

Every state, has Federal Money to insure every kid. If the kid doesn't have it, it's because the parent hasn't gone to get them signed up.
Are you sure you're in the medical industry? How do you have no clue what I'm talking about?
You missed my point completely! Do you not understand that if you want insurance sold across state lines you would need the same healthcare regulations and defintions? This is lost on INDY, but you get this don't you?
So if you want this, you would have to give this power over to the federal government.
I'll stick with my personal experience of working the industry.
But thanks...
Any word on those links yet?
Actually, routine and minor procedures make up the vast majority of health care patient visits. Health insurance should be no different than any other insurance and thusly reserved for "emergencies," "cancer" and "$45,000 hospital costs." That's the way it used to work. Back when health insurance was known as "hospitalization insurance" or "major medical." The rest you just expected to pay for and market forces kept prices for those services affordable.
Well this isn't exactly true either... but I'm sure if you were honest with yourself you know that.Wrong and Benji can back me up here. Except for illegals, the "poor" are largely covered by government insurance programs. Actually, you might be surprised who makes up much of the 'uninsured" in this country.
Actually, it's amazing how many physicians and hospitals now offer "cash" discounts. Many are, in fact, opting completely out of insurance. Medicaid, medicare and private. Wanna talk about paperwork reduction!!

You would need 3,200 pages to stop the pre-exiting conditions clause, or benefit restricions? I don't think so. it is not that complicated.
Each state has different DL requirements, but if ____ happens in one, they have worked it out with a very simple process to honor, or transfer a DL from 1 state to the other. They do it with car titles also.
You don't need the feds for that, no

That's freedom I guess. If you choose to smoke and develop lung cancer who's fault is that?Fair enough. So, if you choose not to purchase health insurance and can't pay for care, die at home. I wanted to suggest to the guy outside the library petitioning for Ohio to be exempt from the new healthcare reform bill that every person complaining about being required to buy health care sign a waiver just like the one you described.
Doctors and other health care professionals understand that they are not merely providing a "good". It's more than that.
Although in all honesty they might be referred to an E.R.

Which may explain why there are thousands of free clinics in this country with volunteer physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and therapists giving of their own time to provide care to those "bloodying the place up" with no means to pay for it. Although in all honesty they might be referred to an E.R.
