Could this be a possible reason for resistance to health care reform?

Yes.

FACT - Insurance companies in the USA admit to pushing up prices, buying politicians and not paying out claims when they should

FACT - PER PERSON the USA spends more on healthcare than any other nation on the planet

FACT - Obama debated his plans before the election for healthcare

FACT - the chance of a child under five of dying in the USA is greater than industrialised nations with universal health coverage

FACT - Obama was elected by the American people to bring in change

FACT - Obama wants to stop insurance companies from screwing the American people

FACT - The reforms Obama wants work in the Netherlands and Switzerland

Many people do not want the government controlling anymore aspects of their lives. No matter what the package is, if the government controls any part of it, a large number of people will be against it. There are other ways to reform health care that do not include a takeover by the government of another 1/6 of our economy.

There has always been such a thing as decreasing life insurance. The younger you die, the more it is worth. Many people buy this to take care of their young family if something should happen. It is much cheaper than other kinds of life insurance that keeps it value.

Someone would still have to be paying the premiums on that $1 million dollar policy for there be anything of value to chop up and sell.

Also, I don't know what kind of regulations there are about owning insurance policies on someone unrelated. If the beneficiary is someone who is not a caring relative, what .is to prevent more direct attempts at shortening the lives of those whose lives are insured?

Relying on the health care system to accomplish that would be much too indirect for a diabolical scheme.

Do you have a link?

Sounds like an Irish Bull. Not the real reason for resistance.

The big insurance companies lose out on billions of medicare $$$$ if single payer goes into effect. If they have to insure everybody and make each state a single plan, their costs are going to skyrocket and they know profit will be almost impossible if they have to compete against a public option.

In Oregon we have a public option for workers comp insurance. Etna spent over 15 million on a ballot initiative to kill it. It lost handily.

No. It surprises me that such a lot of Americans look to not be mindful approximately Obama’s healthcare plans [a]. During the election, he campaigned for those alterations pointing out that he felt it was once unfair to have a approach wherein coverage organizations attempt to get away paying claims and was once elected to carry in alterations [b]. First of all, too many persons have no idea that Obama needs to make coverage extra to be had to all. His approach is very similar to that which goes in Holland, Taiwan [c] and Switzerland. It works there and personal healthcare organizations furnish such a lot the coverage to the persons there. FACT - the USA spends extra on healthcare PER PERSON than every other country on this planet [d]. FACT – coverage organizations admit that they push up bills, purchase politicians and don't pay out for lots of claims after they must [e]. FACT - the US has greater demise premiums for children elderly beneath 5 than western European international locations with common well being insurance policy [f]. That signifies that a useless American 4 12 months historical could have had a larger danger of lifestyles in the event that they had been born in Canada, France, the Netherlands, Cuba, Switzerland, Germany, Japan and many others, all of that have common well being insurance policy. And no western European country with common healthcare has moved clear of it. And the sorrowful factor is, that the coverage organizations have spent a whole lot of cash to combat those reforms [g] and a whole lot of politicians are taking the thirty portions of silver from them to combat the reforms, as an alternative than combat for the well being of the American persons. Remember, I again my details up with proof. Those who say they're fallacious generally tend to not. If they're fallacious, electronic mail me with evidence and allow me recognise.

That and this too. Oregons has public health care and it is wanting to put people to death instead of pay for their medical services.

Death Drugs Cause Uproar in Oregon

Terminally Ill Denied Drugs for Life, But Can Opt for Suicide

The 64-year-old Oregon woman, whose lung cancer had been in remission, learned the disease had returned and would likely kill her. Her last hope was a $4,000-a-month drug that her doctor prescribed for her, but the insurance company refused to pay.

What the Oregon Health Plan did agree to cover, however, were drugs for a physician-assisted death. Those drugs would cost about $50.

"It was horrible," Wagner told ABCNews.com. "I got a letter in the mail that basically said if you want to take the pills, we will help you get that from the doctor and we will stand there and watch you die. But we won't give you the medication to live."

Possible reason for resistance doesn't mean anything, guy. Most people aren't 'resisting health care' because they're wall street wizards.

They're resisting because you're losing the information war, and badly.

Edit: Kenneth, nothing I said was disrespectful. I'm commenting on the state of the health care debate. Not you, or your views.

A CNBC source? LOLOL!!!!

It's not going to happen, get used to it.

Van Jones QUIT.

Now its Caribou's turn to QUIT.

LEAVE NOW CARIBOU! GO!

Caribou, keep your promise you LYING COWARD!

No. The reason is simple. 270 million have health care, less than 40 million don't, either by ability to get it, or unwillingness to pay. Majority rules, period.
