Obama and the Health Care Hurdles

This ridiculous plan will be the final nail in the financial coffin for the U.S. 90% of Americans will be adversly effected to provide coverage for the 7% that do not have it. Passage of this bill will nearly complete Barack Obama’s dream of a Socialist America.
Overthrowing or changing our form of government without regard to the constitution is an act of treason, America you had better wake up!

Bottom line is that Americans don;’t favor the status quo that Republicans seem to be so happy with.

Why have a congress, they pass bills without reading, and this healthcare bill is another example…we the people need to clean house, which includes all the bureaucrats in DC.
Why don’t you deal with the real issues that are causing our healthcare problems…like illegal immigration, Medicaid fraud, and other government waste? Will YOU and your family opt out on the healthcare plan you presently have to join the public option health plan that Congress wrote for the rest of us?” 15 to 20 MILLION of those people are ILLEGAL ALIENS that you propose to include in your plan”? No one is talking about that and if more people were informed about this they would be outraged. That is a HUGE amount of money we would save if we did not cover the illegals.
If the proposed healthcare plan passes, and the government tells the doctor how to treat patients and who they are to treat, who do I direct my malpractice suit to. Do I sue the doctor, the government, both, or sue the doctor and then the doctor sues the government for preventing him or her from treating the patient??????? If so, how does one declare Chapter 13 Bankruptcy for the country in 2012?

If it were’nt for bluedog Democrats and Republicans we would have a healthcare bill that would outlaw health saving accounts, outlaw new private policies ,gives healthcare to illegals, would result in rationing and long waits, low priority for seniors, and worst of all, a government bureaucrat would get between you and your doctor. This healthcare bill takes away our freedom to choose. We need lower costs but we still have the world’s best healthcare. Government healthcare means Higher costs and Lower quality.

I can remember when a hamburger, an order of fries and a large coke were only 50 cents and that was only 40 years ago. Today it is about $8-9. So the dollar is only worth about a nickel and you must have twenty times the money you had then to enjoy the same buying power today. The time has come for our Washington leaders to face the facts and get a healthcare plan that Americans, throughout their lives, can afford.
Today a millionaire, who hasn’t provided his family insurance, can wake up in the hospital in a catastrophic medical condition, facing bankruptcy. For decades healthcare costs compared to income have risen faster than any other sector within our economy. This is simply because of the mentality of the people who control the industry. They live only for profits and the bottom line very simply with an attitude of life being expendable if a person cannot afford to pay.
The American Dream is not just to own a home. The Dream must be about being about to enjoy a healthy and quality kind of life. Insurance companies and pharmaceuticals are two of the most powerful lobbies that manipulate our leaders in Washington. Obama is attempting to do what politicians have only talked about, for decades, a quality, fair and affordable healthcare system for all. It will basically create tremendous pressure on insurance companies forcing them to become more competitive and stop them from ripping people off.
Insurance companies are muck like Vegas. The statistical odds are skewed to always favor the house. I honestly believe whoever came up with the concept of insurance was preparing to rob himself, upon becoming insured. Then his case became the sales model to begin pushing the concept of insurance and financially rob his neighbors.
Obama is simply facing the facts and trying to emancipate the working man from being slaves to the greedy and powerful corporations. He must create drastic change that forces certain American industries into a system of honesty and reality. Furthermore, he is under enormous pressure to perfect something Americans will accept and trust, before the mess left by republicans, who promoted their concept of capitalism being simply free enterprise without regulation, totally implodes the world economy into absolute chaos.
Only the foolish fail to recognize how near we are to an economic abyss. This healthcare program facilitates a tremendous injection into the money supply to sustain the economy while rectifying a major defect within the quality of life of Americans. This money is not going into the pockets of bankers or corporate mobsters. It is going directly into services for the people.
United We Stand, Divided We Fall…

Ginny, don’t see that the plan will eliminate competition, not enhance it? The government option is non-profit and financed by the taxpayer. The insurance company’s must make a profit or go out of business. So what the democrats call competition is actually the total elimination of competition.

i wish you people at a.b.c. wasnt so bias toward obama.you was a good honest news source in the old days, when you did things honest.what you are doing now does no one any good not even you in the end,

Americans are having a chance to do what most of congress including our great leader have not- read the bills. We do not like what we are seeing. Heaven help any seniors under Obama Healthcare!
Most of us are able to balance our household expenses. If your checkbook is low, the last thing you want to do is take on more bills and go on a spending spree. This is what our great leader suggests.
Asking folks to report “fishy” opposition to our great leaders healthcare is imoral, illegal and definately unethical. No matter how they try to smooth this over, this is an attempt to frighten people away from free speech. This will not happen. Most mainstream media is not even reporting this. It is no wonder they have lost their credibiliy.
As for the so called “mobs”, unlike the community organizers like ACORN and SEIU, the American people don’t need to be organized by anyone. We instictively know when our rights are being trampled on and respond with passion and integrity. The beauty is that we did not learn to Community organize from our great Leader, we are patriots who have been organizing for freedom long before the socialist have tried to hijack America.

I guess Highmark and other corporations who manage the insurance companies are scared. Maybe if their lowered their insurance rates there would be no need for reform. But since when has any corporation ever did anything from the kindness of their heart, or just because it was the right thing to do?
The answer to that is NEVER!

How can a poll speak for millions The only way to know is to have a vote on it

Folks at my townhall were certainly not from any insurance company. They were my neighbors and residents of my town. They had questions, as they should. The most worrysome thing about Obamas healthcare is WHO is actually helping to put it together. SEIU, a deceitful organization who attacked a protestor at a meeting (which Obama has responsibility for sending), or how about his great policy advisor Emmanuel and his “complete Lives System”. I made sure everyone in my area know exactly what it is and how it could be implimented under socialized medicine. The argument that this is not a power grab for single payer is not realistic. We have actually LISTENED to Obamas own words to know that is not the case. Obama can send as many thugs as he wishes. like those who stood outside of voting areas trying to threaten people into voting for him. This type of behavior is definately a “leftist” activity. I know. I AM a democrat.
The American people are NOT intimidated and WILL vote those people out who would support a plan that would further our debt and put people on a scale for rationed care. 2010 is coming up fast with 2012 just around the corner.
