Health Care Reform = Democrats’ ‘Ishtar’

Last night the Disney Channel aired a 1937 classic which sums up modern Republicanism-SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS. A fairy tale with a wicked witch and 7 little guys, standing in for the Republican Congress, whose idea for health care reform is a kiss from prince charming.

BBear; Wow! That’s about the weakest metaphor I ever read!

All this to cover illegial immmigrants, and those who don’t need such coverage, such as young adults and otherwise healthy individuals. Four years of taxes without results… Taxing 100 percent of the people, to cover the last 20 percent. Looting medicare and medicaid which are already bankrupt.
Adding more people into an already broken system, making quality and access that much more difficult. And cutting out not only the American people, but those of the opposition party, let alone independents. And THIS is “progress”, PLEASE!
Even if they pass this, the people will not see results until… the next Presidential election. (WOW, their is a shocker!) Even if this passes, the people will be paying for what they are not getting… for YEARS!!!
The best thing for both parties and the people is to KILL THIS BILL! Listen to the AMERICAN PEOPLE, and don’t penalize 80 percent of the people, to cover the last 20 percent, and ILLEGAL immigrants!!!

Funny, but I think Pelois looks alot like the wicked witch in Snow White……although Obama does remind me of one of the dwarfs—Doopey.

The automatic acceptance, at standard insurance rates of pre-existing conditions (in health insurance) or DUI drivers (in auto insurance) or convicted arsonists (for home owners insurance) changes the MAJOR tenet and character of Insurance–RISK SHARING–to simple CLAIMS PAYING.
In other words, we will go from “spreading the risk around,” as insurance companies are designed to do, to simply “spreading/level claims paying around.” The whole purpose of insurance underwriting was to make sure that the anticipated claims + operating cost + profit = premiums charged. Once those anticipated claims have all the pre-exiting medical conditions, DUI drivers and arsonists added into the mix, claims will sky rocket, and so will premiums. Those of us who have tried to be health (or moderately so, not drunken drivers or arsonists will now be forced to underwrite and to pay the increased costs of the ills of those who are.
Kinda’ like the concept of “spreading the wealth around,” except in this case instead of doing it via income taxes, it will be done via insurance (claims) payments.

The WH is currently villianizing Health Insurers. When will he and the public decide the Auto, Home or Liability Insurers are next?
Just take Home Owner’s insurance for example. Anyone who has a mortgage HAS to have Home Owner’s, if for no other reason to protect their mortgage holder’s interest in case of a fire loss, which would cause a loss of the mortgage holder’s security for their loan. They will not loan you the money without this type of coverage in place.
Personally, I have been paying Home Owner’s premiums for nearly 40 years, and the premium has averaged about $2,250 per year, or $90,000. I’ve never had a loss. OMG, I am outraged, the unfairness of it all, lower my premiums, cut the CEO’s salary and perks, Federal takeover of them, Nationalize all of the carriers.
Where the hell will this nonsense stop? Who decides on the next victim in the WH’s gun sites? No one has a gun to your head to buy health insurance. If you don’t want to pay for it, don’t. However, be prepared to finance the consequences if something major should happen.
No one has a gun to your head to buy Home Owner’s insurance, live in a rental if you really want to avoid it. You HAVE choices.
PS Shouldn’t the WH be forcing the Auto Insurance carriers to issue standard rated policies to a driver who has two DUI’s (it is a pre-existing condition, you know)? This is more of the same nonsense.

Scary stuff, this Obamacare, another underfunded liability coming for a vote even as one of my advisers informs me that the total of the nation’s unfunded liabilities is now about $105 trillion vs the $60 to $70 trillion I thought it to be.
Compare that to the nation’s net worth of approx $51.5 trillion and you will see why I am upset with Obama and his drive for Obamacare!
No mathematician or economist can predict a recovery from this, and politicians just keep their collective heads in the sand.

I think obamacare program can kill the heath insurance company and it will cause more jobless citizen.

The man has a check for 400 billions doallars(first installment) that will NOT be cashed if reform dies..The contributors are the insurers/hospitals and pharmeceutioal companies..If reform dies,it will only be the hospitals who will pay and it won’t be pretty

Blah what a joke. Obama is today finger pointing at health insurance companies in his latest spin-move and blaming them for raising premium prices – when in reality he is their biggest friend and wants to send them a captive audience of 30 million new customers. No where in his healthcare bill does it mandate (force by law) private insurance companies to lower the price of premiums by even a single penny. Another smoke and mirrors ploy and empty promise from maybe one of the most greedy selfish scheming divisive Presidents of all time – still ignoring the problem of unemploment -the real reason 10% of our nation is lacking in health insurance plans.

Anyone who supports the Democrat Health Care Bill will be voted out. They need to start over with real Health Care Reform. What they are proposing is not reform but a takeover. I am fed up with the President blaming someone when he can not get his way. He needs to listen and stop with this single focus on Health Care and switch to improving the economy and jobs.
