TOP 10 REASONS OBAMACARE IS WRONG FOR AMERICA
07.30.09 (12:54 pm)   [edit]
  1. Millions Will Lose Their Current Insurance. Period. End of Story: President Obama wants Americans to believe they can keep their insurance if they like, but research from the government, private research firms, and think tanks show this is not the case. Proposed economic incentives, plus a government-run health plan like the one proposed in the House bill, would cause 88.1 million people to see their current employer-sponsored health plan disappear.
  2. Your Health Care Coverage Will Probably Change Anyway: Even if you kept your private insurance, eventually most remaining plans—whether employer plans or individual plans—would have to conform to new federal benefit standards. Moreover, the necessary plan “upgrades” will undoubtedly cost you more in premiums.
  3. The Umpire Is Also the First Baseman: The main argument for a “public option” is that it would increase competition. However, if the federal government creates a health care plan that it controls and also sets the rules for the private plans, there is little doubt that Washington would put its private sector “competitors” out of business sooner or later.
  4. The Fed Picks Your Treatment: President Obama said: “They’re going to have to give up paying for things that don’t make them healthier. … If there’s a blue pill and a red pill, and the blue pill is half the price of the red pill and works just as well, why not pay half for the thing that’s going to make you well.” Does that sound like a government that will stay out of your health care decisions?
  5. Individual Mandate Means Less Liberty and More Taxes: Although he once opposed the idea, President Obama is now open to the imposition of an individual mandate that would require all Americans to have federally approved health insurance. This unprecedented federal directive not only takes away your individual freedom but could cost you as well. Lawmakers are considering a penalty or tax for those who don’t buy government-approved health plans.

Amazing to me how with, according to your counter, you have so many visitors and so few comments. Usually it's either me pointing out your idiocy, or Barnabus - someone as nutty as you - high-fiving you over the bullshit you copy and paste.

Must be disheartening.

Why not write something. Surely you're capable. Don't you get tired of quoting bogus sources?

Nothing you said is factual it's all hypothetical several things you mention is just what the plan is design to prevent. Right now your health care is determined by an actuary risk statistician and not by health care providers so you would be better off with Obama plan because the decision will be made by doctors. Who gives a dam about the private sector look what they did to the finance and banking industry. Health care should not be at the expense of the private market it is a right and should be gauranteed to all citizenz.

OK, I'll play along.

Take me point by point through exactly what is "not factual," and provide me with a fact that isn't sourced on DU, Daily KOS, or NPR. I'll wait right here.

More importantly, have you even READ the damn thing? I mean all of it?

Didn't think so. Keep you strawmen to yourself please. Actuarial tables, please. Google QALY and get back to me...

I am not sure what system they are trying to set up. But here in Aust we have a government based system. You can opt in or out of private care. It seems to work very fairly. I think its a 1.5% of income which is deductible if you go into private care. Your society even though it's rich seems a little barbaric in that it doesn't take care of its own.
I have had to have a couple of basic operations which if it wasn't for public health i could not have afforded.
My quality of life was improved immensely allowing me to continue to make worthwhile contributions to society.
