The Scourge of Obamacare (Government health care) ?

My reason for hating the healthNOTcare

President Obama suggested at a town hall event Wednesday night that one way to shave medical costs is to stop expensive and ultimately futile procedures performed on people who are about to die and don't stand to gain from the extra care.

Read that again. Obama was subtly promoting euthanasia...

In a nationally televised event at the White House, Obama said families need better information so they don't unthinkingly approve "additional tests or additional drugs that the evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve care."

He added: "Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller.

Or maybe, President Obama, the decision should be left to the patient and patient's family?

You can rant with the best of them, but I will comment on your #2.

Not everyone with a pre-existing condition "waited until they were sick to look for insurance". Many people have had insurance coverage and then for a million different reasons, lose that coverage. What was once covered is no longer covered, and you cannot get new insurance with certain conditions that you had before. Group insurance from an employer is about the only way to be assured of insurance coverage. But if you are unable to work due to your pre-existing condition, or you are in the gap between middle age and retirement, you will not be able to find other insurance to care for yourself. I am speaking from my husband's experience and know first hand how difficult and depressing it is when you know that you have no where to turn for medical care.

So I agree with our President, that everyone should be able to get health care regardless of their situation. There should be an option for everyone. The conservative scare tactics are out in force again, but hopefully some sort of compromise solution can be achieved.

Rant on!

How can one federal law constitute nationalizing a private health care system? The only way to get insurance companies to stop refusing to insure people and lower prices was by a government mandate to insure everyone in return for ending the discrimination in insurance. A federal law does not mean the federal government is taking over the whole private health care system. It is a law. Health insurance is under the jurisdiction of each state with an insurance commission. Thats why insurance cannot be used in another state. There cannot be oversight or standard pricing.

Obama is too bull headed to be transparent and offer bipartisanship.

Obama has an agenda that is not in the best interest of Americans.

I want the best of both worlds, the Best Quality of Healthcare Services for an Affordable Healthcare Cost.

It doesn’t take a lot of Common Sense to realize Obama’s Healthcare Plan will not provide the Best Quality of Healthcare Services for an Affordable Healthcare Cost.

You can’t make Healthcare Professionals work for less money in a Democracy. The good Healthcare Professionals will seek professions that will pay them what they were making and we will be left with Substandard Healthcare Services.

Before we can merge the present Healthcare System with a new Healthcare System you have to fix the present Healthcare System first.

Healthcare Services are too High.

Healthcare Insurance is too High.

Prescription Drugs are too High!

Rewards for Malpractice Law Suites are to High!

Welfare Fraud is out of control!

Taxes are too High.

Fix the aforementioned and we may not need to have a Universal Healthcare Plan.

As things stand the proposed Universal Healthcare Plan will just complicate things more and drive up the costs more.

If that isn't good enough why not take the Healthcare Plan we the people provide an undeserving Congress and expand it to apply to the citizens as well, aren't we good enough?

Semper Fi

And one question for opponents:

If it is good enough for our nation's veterans, then why isn't it good enough for the masses?

When it was suggested to privatize veteran's health care, people were OUTRAGED. They were screaming how Un American it was to do that to those that fought and died for our nation. So we give them "socialized medicine". And then when it is suggested to offer an affordable option that is funded by the government that would compete with private health insurance, these very same people begin screaming "socialized medicine! Not for me!" So answer the question - don't tell me how much it sucks. I've seen and heard the stories, not to mention know a few veterans that deal with it daily. But you don't take up and want privatizing of veteran's health care. Why is it so wonderful for them - those we are supposedly thanking for our rights and freedoms - and yet you wouldn't dare allow your family to suffer such indignity and be forced to use government medical care? Why is that?

I have yet to see anyone address the question directly and answer it - they just tell me how rotten it is. But yet no one wants it privatized, which, according to those that are against President Obama's plan, is so much better and the care is of such better quality. So either you don't respect our nation's veterans enough to offer them the best quality health care possible or you are making money off of the private insurance gig, and want to keep the dollars rolling in.

And the argument of a bureaucrat standing in between you and your doctor is poppycock! Right now, I have a friend that works for Sentry Insurance, and it is her job to deny or approve requests for medical procedures. It is vastly interesting to hear her talk about how she is "forced" (her words - not mine) to look at the bottom line by her employer, and if something is too expensive, she is to deny it based on a decision in accordance to the health insurance policy the holder has. So don't give me that - it is happening RIGHT NOW.

My suggestion for health care is to use the bazillions of dollars of stimulus money not yet spent to build free clinics in all congressional districts. This keeps the current system untouched and still provides care to the uninsured. then only hospitalization would need to be addressed. it would create thousands of jobs in the construction and health industries and it would not put government in charge of our health care. democrats won't do it because it does not give them the power they want. power to tell an aging person to just take a pain pill instead of getting the medical procedure they need, like Obama suggests. I would like to hear him suggest to Ted Kennedy that he just take a pain pill instead of getting treatment for his condition!!

I must admit that I don't have the patience to read through your long post. But I will say this...

Obama and his fellow socialist dems are asking us to sign into law their healthcare bill, that obama admits that he himself, and nobody else has actually read.

Obama is the first President in history that

has pressured government officials to sign bills into law, that nobody has actually read. That's insanity!

That tells me that obama is a poor leader

for this country and he is leading us into destruction.

if its not good enough for them not good enough for us the American people short change again

Obama has ulterior motives.
