Cons :Aren't you concerned about the potential political power of the 47mil. Americans w/o health insurance?

Aug 19, 2009 by mr danger | Posted in Politics

Q: Suppose about it.
The Religious Right faction of your own party gained much of their political power by bringing an esoteric edge issue like abortion to the center stage
Don't you think that the people w/o haleness insurance or access to free healthcare could do the same with their real-world issue ?

A: Of undoubtedly. You are correct 100%. But all of us, not just cons, should be very much concerned. There are 47 million cry babies out there trade themselves Americans, 47 million people unwilling to take care of themselves and their needs, 47 million Americans out there enceinte the government to take care of them and 47 million Americans that seem to have no regard as to what the Constitution definitely says about the powers of government. It's not just cons that should be concerned my friend. All of us should be upset.

Why do so many people say the United States is the best country in the world?

Q: 47 million without salubrity insurance. 22,500 shot and killed in the USA. Places like Detroit are unsafe to frequent a leave in and around. Massive people starving in the streets. (In my neighborhood veterans are living under bridges and begging for provisions) Schools are not teaching and have low standards. Most jobs pay only 9 dollars an hour. Crime is all over the USA. Fragrant criminals (Or those who have access to money walk free) get off but poor criminals go to prison.

A: Well; if you don't like it, move your A$$ to Iraq, Kosovo, or Cuba and, see how much fun that is.

And yes; I be acquainted with you're just another idiot troll, because you used to spend all your time in the Detroit segment bashing the people and the city, and you also tend to troll in the Military section a lot.

Not only are you a troll, but a very spavined one at that, get a life!

and

"We get up b endure for universal access to affordable health care coverage."

Is this more lies? What is his scheme for the 40 million without health insurance? Are we sure he is a Republican? Most Republicans would call this socialism.

A: It's called Republican Lite. Say more, uncharitable less.

Q: will you go for far up end care (because you will just die waiting for it on Obama-Eugenics)...?
In Canada and socialist countries you're expected to suffer before you get nurse. People literally die waiting for care in Canada. The Buffalo New York hospitals are full of Canadian plates. Where will they go? Where will WE go?

Obama's absolute agenda is to use our money to give illegals free care, then amnesty and the vote, then he will get his dictatorship. YOU will be stuck paying for all of this, and losing the major healthcare you can access now, forever...and Obama gets his permanent power, he gets to mechanism over 50% of the economy, and capitalism in the USA is dead FOREVER.

Every time the Republicans hurry plans to insure EVERY American based on their ability to pay, the Democrats kill it. Why? Because what the Demokkkrats very want is more institutionalized racism oppression and control and to loot, as always.
NeoNerd: 89% of Americans are very happy with their health care. With ObamaEugenics 50% will lose that care within the first year, and long run ALL private health insruance will be out of business and you will be waiting 10 hours for a above-board bandaid and years for surgeries, and you can FORGET high end sophisticated medicine.

Who needs a private sector when we have a Clinton make our health-care choices?

Sep 19, 2007 by mission_viejo_california | Posted in Politics

Q: Who needs a personal sector when we have a Clinton make our health-care choices?

The new Hillary form-care plan is very different from the old 1993-1994 Hillary plan. It is far slyer, and far cleverer, far more well-packaged. The same arguments that applied to the old Hillary scheme do not necessarily apply to the new plan. But the new health plan ends up in the same place as the old fitness plan — with the government running everything.

Here are the primary problems with the new Hillary haleness plan:

What Entitlement Crisis?
As everyone should know by now, our nation faces a dramatic entitlements turning-point that will play out over the next 30 years. Federal spending has been hovering in a fairly steady manner, around 20-percent of GDP (Gross Domestic Product), for over 50 years now, since the original 1950s. But the Federal government’s own official projections show that over the next 30 years or so, federal spending will rise to 40-percent of GDP, requiring total federal taxes as a percent of GDP to increase. This is due to the exploding costs of the entitlement programs we already have, primarily Medicare, Medicaid, and Sexual Security.

Hillary Clinton and other Democrats respond to this overwhelming crisis by proposing that we not better any of the existing entitlements. Rather, they suggest that we endorse massive new entitlements, including for as it happens, National Health Insurance. Policy suggestions like this force one to wonder, are the democrats numerically untaught?

The Individual Mandate
Hillary Clinton’s plan starts out very simply: she will mandate under federal law that everyone in America must buy condition insurance, and by this she supposedly achieves universal coverage. The catch, of course, is that once you start down the method with this mandate, you end up with government-run health care.

If you are going to require people to buy vigorousness insurance, then the next question which follows is, exactly what do they have to buy to fulfill this requirement? Suppose they buy the Fraternity Plan that pays only for immense beer and pizza during the weekends? Have they satisfied the requirement?

The serious point is if you are going to press for people to buy health insurance, then you are going to have to specify exactly what health-plan people will have to buy to persuade this requirement. So the government has gone from telling you that you need health insurance, to telling you what courteous of health-insurance coverage or plan you must have. And with Hillary, we can assume that this will be no basic, minimum down. But Hillary continues to insist that this is not government-run health care.

And this, of course, is only the creation. Special interests will swarm to get their favored coverage in the required plan. People will merrily get occupied to billing everything in the plan to the insurance company. And costs will rise.

People will start complaining that they can’t spare paying for this costly coverage, and whining that the government must do something. The government itself will already be paying for a lot of this coverage, and budgets will therefore shoot full of holes.

So the government will do something to control costs. It will start rationing. It will start telling people what services and treatments they can have, and when. It will start delaying access to new innovations. It will clinch payments to health care providers so much that the providers will start rationing what they anticipate. Government guidelines will start dictating to these providers that they ration care, and how to do it. After a while, people start to be aware of, “hey, we have government run health care.”

Don’t doubt it. This is exactly what happens with every other nation that tries to mandate or provide coverage through government. They realize ultimately there must be some way to charge costs. There is no market in these plans to control costs. So the government must do it through the only alternative – rationing. Indeed (we will see below), Hillary’s design already includes the machinery for this rationing.

It doesn’t help that a small band of too artful conservatives have been supporting just such an individual mandate since 1993-94, when broad objections from conservatives defeated their plan. Congratulations to these folks today. Hillary Clinton has adopted their envisage, just as they were forewarned.

The Employer Tax
Since workers would now have to buy insurance under the Hillary plan; employers would have to pay for it wherever realizable. All large companies would be required to provide health coverage for their workers (a intend, again, specified by the government), or pay a tax to the government. Already paying among the highest corporate tax rates in the industrialized world, this is barely what our corporations need — another tax. Once the politicians get used to raiding this corporate cookie jar, the tax will speedily be higher than the corporate income tax. When that tax burden leads to unemployment, no problem, we will precisely raise taxes on the rich again, and pay for more welfare. All of this will just improve the economy, the Clintons potential.

The Refundable Tax Credit
Where employers don’t pay for health coverage, the government will. Hillary proposes a refundable tax faith for the purchase of health insurance that will leave workers paying no more than a specified percentage of their incomes for the coverage. Hillary’s manoeuvres is already calling this “A Net Tax Cut for American Taxpayers.”

The problem with this is that the bottom 40-percent of proceeds earners do not pay any income taxes, and the middle 20-percent now pay for very little (this is the end consequence of all those Republican tax cuts for the rich all these years). But the tax credit is refundable, meaning that if you don’t have enough tax hitch to take advantage of the credit, the government will still send you a check for the entire credit. So the tax esteem here is not giving you back your own tax money. It is giving you back other people’s tax money. So this is not, in fact, a tax cut. It is a new spending program, a new entitlement program, in as a matter of actual fact.

We already have a huge program called Medicaid to pay for health coverage for people who are too slight to pay for it themselves. The federal government is now spending close to $250 billion on this program, in augmentation to probably another $150 billion from the states. And these costs are just projected to discredit and explode again over the next 30 years. In other words, we already can’t afford the Medicaid program as it currently stands. But what Hillary is proposing with these tax credits is a towering expansion of it. And we are back to the democratic chimeras again.

Unfortunately, some conservative Republicans have recently toyed around with the estimation of refundable tax credits for the purchase of health insurance as well. They have rightly been trying to change tax criterion criteria incentives to get workers to own their own health insurance rather than relying on employers. Realizing, however, that the tax changes would do nothing for at least half of all workers who now pay little or no takings tax, they have been considering various refundable plans to expand the help to lower return workers. The fallacy here is trying to provide assistance to the poor, and to low income workers, through the tax rules. This is what Medicaid is for, and lawmakers should focus on helping those with lower incomes through reforming that program.

But Hillary is not done with the refundable tax credits. She would present such credits as well to small businesses who buy health insurance for their workers, paying for as much as 50-percent of premiums for firms with fewer than 25 employees. And she would also bail out big companies, who are now being crushed by light-headed past promises to pay for health insurance for their retirees, with still more tax credits. In return, corporate big shots from these companies publicly intone that indeed, it is things for national health insurance. A better solution would be to just have the government take over these already socialized companies and dispatch running them into the ground.

Government-Run Health Care
Hillary wisely calls her representation the American Health Choices Plan. Accordingly, everyone will be “free” to on one of the health insurance options in the Federal Employee Health Benefits Plan. But how is this not ministry-run health care? No company gets on the list of plans in the FEHBP without first complying with a publican of federal requirements and controls. That’s alright when the government is providing insurance for its own employees. But should we be treating all workers in the thriftiness as if they are government workers when it comes to health insurance? Is this not precisely what is meant by excessive administration control?

While the FEHBP embodies good policy for the federal government dealing with its own employees, enormous rhetoric from the original designers of that system (about how it is a model for all health insurance) has now brought us to the point of believing that all workers in the reserved economy ought to be treated as government employees when it comes to health anguish.

Hillary will also provide, as another option, the choice of a completely government run, government financed strength insurance plan. Why? And, again, how is this not government run health care? Moreover, how benign will this plan really be when she is done subsidizing it up the kazoo, and driving all the reserved plans out of business with her blizzard of regulatory requirements?

Bye, Bye Private Insurance
Hillary’s envision will also impose guaranteed issue on all private health-insurance plans. This means that insurers cannot drop anyone for their insurance, even on the grounds that the patient is already woefully sick and costly. Moreover, insurers won’t be able to debit more costly patients higher premiums.

Effectively, this would necessarily end any real antisocial insurance in America. Under these requirements, companies are no longer insuring health costs, they are plainly financing health costs. Health insurers would be like fire insurers who are required to debouchment new policies at standard rates to those who show up to buy coverage after their homes have already caught fire. Clearly, this is unworkable.

Hillary says the insurers are theorized to be in the business of spreading the risk, not cherry picking the most healthy. But when someone shows up to buy trim insurance with cancer and heart disease, we are no longer talking about risks. We are talking about payout. This is not an insurance dealing.

Rest assured, moreover, that the healthy with health insurance do not want to see the “risks” of the irredeemably frail spread to them. Those without health insurance who have become uninsurable can, and should, be served through other means, such as state uninsurable danger pools that do not involve trashing the health-insurance system for everyone else. But trashing the private health-insurance retail is exactly what Hillary and her allies advocate.

Rationing
Finally, there is the Best Practices Pioneer, which should be called the Ministry of Truth for health care. These folks will study all sorts of medical protection, issue protocols, and standards for what is the best way to treat this or that. And don’t expect any insurers anywhere, notorious or private, to pay for anything other than what these folks say is the best practice. To oppose the Institute, of course, would nothing but be to pay for waste and inefficiency.

So this is the ideal mechanism for imposing the inevitably necessary rationing. New, high-priced medical breakthroughs will be overlooked, or delayed. If your doctor has a brilliant insight on how to curing you, no problem. All you have to do is go to the Best Practices Institute in Washington, explain why this treatment is the above-board one for you, and get the regs changed. In this brave new world, life insurance will be a lot more valuable to people than health insurance.

Insurers, now all under the check of government, will also impose rationing by squeezing reimbursements to health providers, with the predetermined funds the new system will allow them, until the providers themselves cut back. This is what the government already does with Medicaid, and increasingly with Medicare.

And there is so much more. In Hillary’s three speeches and three papers on her website, she outlines dozens of new trim care requirements in her new system, which will not be government run. The government is all wise and all knowing, and just needs to seduce sure the rickety old health-care system gets it all right, as it is dragged into the 21st century.

And when Hillary gets done with those fascist dope companies, you can forget about any new breakthrough drugs coming to market in the future, perpetual up costs.

But remember, the system is not government run, and don’t let those nasty Republicans tell you otherwise.

I Must Have Slept Through the Just-Concluded Era of Laissez Faire

by Don Boudreaux

The only emotional attachment worse than the ridicule in Joseph Steinman’s critique of capitalism is Mr. Steinman’s power of the facts (” Personal guts: Far from a accomplish system ,” Nov. 16).

For case, it’s false that salubrity-protection in the U.S. is supplied by “a mostly unencumbered hermitical sector.”  Medicare, now with an annual budget of $523.6 billion, accounts for close to one in every four dollars all in on robustness-mind a look after in America.  Other interventions list regulations that delimit consumers’ faculties to blow the whistle on buy for haleness-tend insurance across declare lines; legislatively imposed requirements specifying which conditions insurers must obscure; licensing requirements for physicians, dentists, and nurses – requirements that artificially lower the kit out of these salubrity-nurse b like providers; and the indispensability of securing F.D.A. imprimatur for all new drugs and medical devices.

Whether or not one approves of these interventions, it’s inconceivable to legitimately forswear that they along, that they significantly choose Americans’ access to vigorousness-attend to, and that they proffer America’s robustness-tend market-place far from “unencumbered.”

Candidly, Dependable it is not unencumbered but the phantasy... the crack-brained fancy that only if it were things would be much heartier or even more thrifty has even less constituent in truth.

I over the Libertarian determine has so much too put up for sale along the lines of what might be merit required, on the desideratum to not micromanage or over-oversee and on things like how design might clue to unintended consequences. In place of its proponents regularly chooses to go into the cardinal unjustifiable unspeakable and corpse-like assertion of less or no ukase always being happier.

On what essence! On what underpinning? Do you uncommonly have any picture of what the consequences of your positions put into section in the true world might be. Do you ever rate or even direction that YOUR policies could achievable...
