What is the real difference between requiring all citizens to purchase health insurance?

There is a huge difference

HCR - subsidies for low income - full payment for elderly

The Health Care reform bill gives subsidies to low income working people and permits medicare to fully pay health costs.

Ryan - no help for low income - subsidy only for elderly

The Ryan plan does nothing for low income people and requires non-working elderly to pay their own health care, with a subsidy.

Yes, if everyone participates in the insurance pool in 2014, it will lower costs but there is so much resistance to it, people will cheat and not buy insurance.

The insurance mandate of 2014 does not affect Medicare much. Here is some info on the Health Care Act and Medicare.

That is not what the Ryan plan would do. It would put all Medicare recipients into what are now the Medicare Advantage plans. Millions of Medicare beneficiaries currently choose them over traditional Medicare because the offer BETTER benefits. Get the facts straight.

by using fact they opt to help the drugstore and coverage industries their particular pastime supporters. They get kick backs and marketing campaign donations from those industries. You did no longer extremely have faith it replaced into out of the goodness of their coronary heart that they've been doing this for the everyday public at great. Obama isn't basically the biggest liar of all of them, he gets extra advantageous than the different politicians from those industries. I voiced those concerns while he replaced into nonetheless campaigning yet of direction acorn and seiu have fraudulently altered the election technique. you do no longer ought to have vehicle coverage, basically a have faith fund dedicated to cover any of the minimum liabilities. you nonetheless make money on it as a substitute of only paying to the coverage companies.

The biggest difference is that nobody seriously thinks the vouchers will be enough for seniors to purchase adequate insurance.

Its Not a Voucher Its Called a Subsidy(big Difference)

Also it doesn't do away with Medicare, It prevents it from going Bankrupt and saves it for the Next Generation to use!

The Ryan plan will cost less, work faster and allow a broader range of choice and more direct control by the consumer. No living Democrat is ABLE to tolerate any of those things happening.

We could make a law that requires everyone to jog 2 miles a day. Would it be good for people? yes, but not what this country is about.

what did that judge say about Obamacare? You can't get rid of homelessness by requiring everyone to buy a house.

Welcome. I've been waiting for newcomers. The issue at hand is this: Govt. backed health insurance in no way contributes to campaign finance. Private does. Politicians are working for the corporations, fact. You want to save America, institute term limits immediately, ASAP.

no; the ryan plan is flawed. like saying "here, i'll give you money for a band aid." then you say but i need 47 stitches, things are falling out of my belly." they say, "oh, ok, use the money for that instead." so they give you a quarter, and the bill comes to $200. you make up the rest. flawed.
