[This is a 4-part article covering the recent news coverage on the Health Care reform package and is not comprehensive on ALL the issues. If you read this through to the end, you will see that I list a course of action to take to help put a stop to this bill, and explain throughout, why it should be stopped and under what misleading pretenses the Left is attempting to push this through!]
Yes, President Obama will be bringing forth his pitch for health care reform to the people once again, this time, in a State suffering from tremendously high levels of uninsured citizens. And, yes, YOU, the people, will once again be given an opportunity to hear the, "real," issues and put forth your voices! Once again, we the people, of this Democracy known as the United States of America, shall be empowered once more!
Oh wait... wrong story. I forgot, we get NO say in this - at all. It's now: "Obama vs. Congress vs. the People," and he wants to pressure leaders in Congress to go along with his plan (at least the 60 or so who are still standing up to him), or otherwise, appear as the, "bad guys," in front of the people and not get voted in next year (while he retains his office for another 3 years). Sorry - my bad - I apologize in advance. I, 'sort of,' forgot that it's not about the people or what we want, but using scare tactics and lies to force the people into drastic action - like sheep - for the politicians. Sort of reminiscent of those by-gone days, where the ancient Greek Gods would war with one another, and the people were just their pawns and in their way. Funny, I thought America was a country of people, not politicians - I guess that's just not the case - but I digress.
The reform will now cut the budget from the apparently, current cost of $2.4 trillion down to a mere, $900 billion, will take away the impositions against businesses to force-fund the program and relieve those with insurance from added tax debts. Additionally, it will increase the number of people covered to 95%, eliminating things like, 'pre-existing,' conditions, and co-pays for 'basic,' services; eliminate 'government run health care and create co-ops for the people to decide, while easing the tax burdens on the wealthy.
Yeah - hah - hahahahaha - no... wait for it.... wait.... yep - hahahahahaha! Okay - let's weed through this, shall we? Bloomberg AP News reports: Health care as it is now is getting really, REALLY expensive. If the government doesn't curb it - it's going to bankrupt the people!! But, some don't agree - they think the health care reform posed by Obama will cause a greater deficit and hurt the people more. Okay... sounds reasonable - two sides to the argument, right? The Hill reports: that the currently proposed reform to Obama's plan, being headed up by Senator Baucus(D), will reduce the costs to $900 billion, maintain 95% coverage (except to 'undocumented,' illegal aliens... vs. the 'documented,' illegal aliens who WILL be covered), and reduce the national deficit over a 10-year period. Senator Konrad (D) stated that he knows of 12 million people that are already positioned to sign up for co-op run plans! And, a committee will be established to find additional ways to cap medicare pay-outs and spending, in addition to the billions in cuts proposed, to help reduce the national deficit! Medical News Today reported that: the cut in spending on 'undocumented,' immigrants, makes up about 98% of the 50 million who would not be covered by this health care reform (47 mil). The [May] article in Medical News Today also quoted Sen. Baucus as saying that he is opting for business paid health exchange and a government run health care option. Senator John Kerry (D) stated that taxing the rich is senseless as it raises too little money, but you can't tax the working class because that would interefere in business success.
This blogroll on the ABC News website discussed the amazing fact that Congress is now seeking public congrats for having actually read Obama's health reform bill. My Central Oregon.com reports that: dependent coverage will be extended to age 26, a removal for 'denial,' of pre existing conditions for insurance, policies with premiums paid in full must be renewed, and gender biases would be stopped. Lawmakers will knock an additional $35 million out of medicare to help lessen the overall expense of this reform, and, the uninsured won't begin to see changes until 2013, with full coverage to those uninsured not being realized until 2018.
