The Obamacare system will give you a guaranteed Medicare payment when you turn 65, and will guarantee that you will have medical coverage of at least a minimum amount before that age. It guarantees that you will have coverage, that you cannot be turned down and that you will not be bankrupted by the costs. This is what every other advanced nation in the world has.
We are ranked 36th among all industrialized nations in the delivery of health care to our citizens. Before Reagan, we were the envy of the world. No where else could Americans get health care treatment better than here.
When you have a standardized system, like Germany, Switzerland, France, the Scandinavian countries or others, you have lower costs. Health care as Dr. Kenneth Arrow said so many years ago, is not about making money. You cannot have a for-profit business in health care because it is contradictory.
We need to follow the good advice and example of these countries, throw the money changers out of the temple of medicine, and work toward Obamacare…affordable,reliable, health care for all. Do not let the Neocons scare you. It will not work if we are all well versed in the facts about health care reform.
Paul Ryan may be dumber than a garden vegetable, but he serves as an example of what corporate money buys in Washington. The only reason that the Republicans are fighting “Obamacare” is because their owners are pissed and they better be too or they will lose campaign contribution$.
It’s a replay of the same old priorities for the Grand Obstructionists Party, screw the working man so that the trust fund babies can inherit their wealth with as little taxes as possible.Tax wages while cutting taxes for billionaires. It’s all the same old crap. Gamble on Wall Street, the working taxpayers will bail your greedy a$$ out.
Health care reform is just another symptom of the social disease know as “conservatism.”The main reason we don’t have health care like all civilized nations is summed up in one word. GREED. It’s a sad state when the dollar means more to a collection of people in government and their donors than quality of life for those not wealthy enough to afford profit-driven health care.
I hope that the Affordable Care Act fails in the courts. People need to see what a future of high medical costs will do to their lives. Maybe then we can force our Government to treat us like other civilized human beings from other industrialized nations. I for one am tired of being scared of illness and also being scared of paying for it before I die.
