BOTTOM LINE....

BOTTOM LINE....

WHAT IS THE BIGGER THREAT TO THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE/ECONOMY ???? TERRORISM OR HEALTH CARE COST ??? THINK ABOUT IT ....MIDDLE/WORKING AMERICA IS GOING TO BE PRICED OUT OF HC AS WE KNOW IT.... THESE PRICE INCREASES ARE NOT SUSTAINABLE... THE LEFT IS WRONG AND THE RIGHT DOESN'T GET.... THEY ARE BOTH FIGHTING FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T GIVE ANY RELIEVE TO WORKING AMERICA... THE POLITICS OF HC DOESN'T HELP WORKING AMERICA FROM EITHER SIDE... THE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE FIGHTING FOR SOMETHING THAT YEILDS NOTHING FOR WORKING AMERICA... I DON'T GET IT ...

total bullshit...quoting michael moore from "sicko"?.....cuba`s healthcare is better than ours?....it`s getting redundant pointing out the obliviousness of your hateful lunacy...

no one is denied health care in this country...walk into an emergency room and see if you`re turned away...

i have blue cross and i`ve never been turned down for one damned thing....

not once...ever...but,of course i have to work for a living...

ahhh..theres the rub,isn`t it...;)


I was with ya until the part in bold. Then I knew you were just joking around.

This is what's going on now. If they cover you this is what is called a medical loss for the insurance company. The person who denies you will get a bonus for doing so.

Speaking in the UK yesterday, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) predicted that if a Democrat is elected president in 2008, he or she would seek to install universal health care, similar to the system in Britain. This possibility ?received thunderous applause.? DeLay claimed that, under the U.S. system, ?no American is denied health care?:

By the way, there?s no one denied health care in America. There are 47 million people who don?t have health insurance, but no American is denied health care in America.

The audience, understandably, greeted DeLay?s preposterous claims with ?derisive laughter,? according to the AP. A recent report showed that for the sixth straight year, jobholders continued to see a decline in employer-provided health insurance, with 38 states seeing ?significant? drops in benefits offered by employers.

Observers estimate that anywhere from one to 18 percent of Americans are denied health insurance because of pre-existing health conditions. These conditions can range from heart disease to high cholesterol to yeast infections to being too skinny. A few examples of Americans who were denied health care:

Texas resident Shirley Lowe was denied health care because her breast cancer was diagnosed at a medical center rather than a clinic receiving federal cancer-research funds.

New Orleans bus driver Emanuel Wilson was denied health care when the government refused to pay for his chemotherapy because he had had a job that had provided insurance ? a job he lost after Hurricane Katrina.

Thousands of 9/11 workers who worked at Ground Zero were denied health care when the federal government approved woefully inadequate funds to address the permanent health problems, such as sinusitis and asthma, associated with work at the site.

As Michael Moore?s film ?Sicko? showed so clearly, millions more Americans who have health insurance are denied the care they need due to insurers? ?cost-cutting strategies.?

Anywhere from 1 to 18% -- sound like liberal math :)

Next time tell us your quoting Micheal Moore and spare us--

I tell you a little 1st hand on pre conditions --being in the business 25 years +

90% of people that get declined for pre ex never had insurane goto doctor and find out they have prob--then want insurance.

Gumby's trying to do away with pre ex.
Let me tell you how smart that is--no one carries insurance until they have prob--then take it out till operations complete--then drop it again until next time--That is classic adverse selection which won't float.
They did that in Ky years ago implemenitng Hiliary's plan--every carrier pulled out of Ky except BC BS who were forced to stay.

Whether or not the healthcare bill ruins our medical system, the poor SOB who saved his money is going to be screwed, because we are printing and borrowing so much money that the US dollar could be worthless in 10 years. Inflation is going to screw those who saved.

Good thing I spend all my money on booze.

Don't know if your joking--but very serious point and could be quite possible.Made comment a while back about would be prudent to have other currencys--but O has made great strides at trying to block it--they are raising all kind of hell with swiss banks. I like Chinese yuan and Aussie and Candian dollar not bad either--the 1st is obvious the latter 2 have lots of natural resources--and govs are pretty thrifty.

Other than gov jobs--thing looking a little bleak here --whose going to expand with anticipated healthcare-taxes and carbon taxes.
Only positive is low interest rates--if you can get loan--but with O following Carter's method of madness--they will prob hit 15% within 2 years as they go hand and hand with inflation.

At least he is consistent on his views of health care in this country.

Today on his radio show, while discussing healthcare with a caller, Beck sounded like a spoiled 8 year old throwing a temper tantrum. This guy's coming unglued. :142smilie

So, once again, I ask if Wease or any so adamently against health care reform have any ideas, other than just to rip anything Obama. And, nothing comes back, and so it goes...

Question still stands, lonely as it is. But I don't care how many times you sit there and type "No one is denied health care in this country," it's just not true, but that's not at the crux of the issue. There are plenty of people that are being denied PAYMENTS on health care received, and there is nobody slowing down the escalating costs, and profits - and WE are paying the higher and higher price. Some are fine with that - while at the same time screaming about paying more in taxes. The oxymoronical behavior continues...

I wasn't joking, though I couldn't say exactly why I brought that up that issue in a health care thread. I am not a financial guru, or a mover and shaker... and sadly I will probably "live or die" with this country. It is equal parts patriotism and lack of serious financial ambition.

I think about someone like my father, who never made a single investment more complex than a CD at a bank. He has saved and saved his whole life and now is comfortably retired. Politicians are screwing people like my father. Sure, if my dad had extreme financial foresight or acumen he would be diversifying into foreign currencies and so on.

The reason "inventing" trillion dollars of debt is an issue I bring up is because this is eventually going to cause massive inflation. We can "cook" the books to keep "prices" of goods from massively inflating for a while, but eventually all that debt is going to cause inflation. It is money that is created out of thin air, and not from hard work and savings. The more fake money you release into a system, the less "real" money is worth. I am not enough of an expert to explain the distinction I am making between real and fake money, but I think you get my drift.

So if the economy spirals down and money becomes cheap (a la Zimbabwe.. not that I think we will get THAT bad) the money my father and countless others like him saved will be worthless.

Look, my real point is that you shouldn't have to be a mover and shaker to succeed in life. I firmly believe in a capitalistic work ethic and that those who work harder and innovate should be rewarded whatever the market can bare... BUT not everyone is going to have complex investment strategies. There are many middle class hard ass workers who never lazied away their days, who stand to get screwed in this crisis. It is not all "da base". America should be a place where a hard working, normal person can succeed.

The Two Faces of Glenn Beck

The Two Faces of Glenn Beck

It's curious the guy who now touts healthcare in America as the best in the world every chance he gets
was singing a different tune in January of 2008 when he experienced healthcare in America first hand.

Yesterday on Fox was a hoot. At 5PM Napolitano did Beck's show, saying that Beck "had the day off". A few hours later, Beck was on with O'Reilly.

Want to bet Beck resigns to "pursue other interests" or "spend time with his family"?

LOL!!!
