Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 So, while the government may be able to force me to get health insurance, I resent the implication that the reason for it is to prevent others from having to pay for my healthcare, because that is not the case. I pay for it, I just chose not to overpay for insurance. my 2 cents worth. Cindy Atkins Cindy you must be very lucky and must have a large bank account just in case you would get an illness/have an accident which would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to treat, glad you have that money and no one else would have to chime in. Not everybody does have that kind of money. Dagmar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point Gretta...The devil is in the details, and folks, they are not done fooling with it....So, you can't know the details... The Texan retired judge, who read all 1500 (or was it 2000) pages...That version was, I believe a House version...Before the Senate messed with it... There are certain fundamental aspects of the " reform " that are in place...Probably are never going to change... Major Medicare cuts to fund the thing.....Let's play with the Social Security System again...To paraphrase Tom Daschle, the seniors ought to just face up to effects of old age...instead of treating them... Yeah, I know he was not appointed because of a tax faux pax, but he still has a desk in the White House....Mr. Obama apparently wants him close by.... So...a treatment used to be one that's safe and effective, for Medicare approval.....Now it will be safe and effective, but also subject to a cost/benefit analysis...I am not even going to theorize where that's going to lead us... No Public Option, and certainly Single Payer is shot dead...Major Negotiation on prescription drugs and med devices....Same fate...White House didn't have the Big Stick of Single Payer to swing around...Not even in the back room... The major tools of health care cost reduction do not exist in any viable form in this " reform " .... Anything mentioned about rates of insurance premiums...? I actually don't know, and they aren't done yet...But reform is curiously silent there... Folks...You and I are going to have to wade thru this morass...I go under Medicare in a couple of months...I'm not actually going to be hit by what's happening so much in the private sector....But I'm sure the cuts will impinge... Look out, folks in the private sector.....Your fate is undetermined yet... Care... -- Gary W. Bourbonais L'Hermite Aromatique A.J.P.
