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 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.

Hi Gretta, Folks...

 

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...
