This could only make sense to a Democrat

1. Jim Jones used unsweetned grape Flavor-Aid, not Kool Aid.

2. They teach that in high school.

 

Go back to reading comprehension class Mitch. I clearly said in my first post, "The sign in the doctor's office was either not true or referring to something else." I gave the doctor the benefit of the doubt. You, on the other hand, are clearly a person that just wants to argue for the sake of arguing. It's OK, brother, I forgive you .

 

*sigh*

How many times must this be gone over?

The system will not be with a level playing field.

All of the government regulations and policies (plus the fact that Obamacare can operate at a loss, unlike real businesses) will force insurers to either voluntarily close up shop, or go out of business.

So no...most of us won't be able to keep our health insurance.

Folks who insist on the contrary are either obtuse or deliberately deceitful.

 

uhhuh you later said the doctor was lying. Nice try at a redirect but it doesn't fly. We will end it here but you know what you have done.

 

No redirect, Bub. Once again, you need to go back to reading comprehension class. I clearly had a qualifying statement (hint it starts with 'If').

It's OK, I still forgive you brother. Oh, I'm still waiting for your proof that Medicaid doesn't cover routine vaccinations.

 

Hi Paul,

But don't forget the definitition of George Orwell's "doublethink":
Winston Smith's definition (Main character of George Orwell's 1984) of DoubleThink: a simultaneous belief in two contradictory ideas.

If you want, go back to my previous post and read the full definition.

Here is what I mean:
IN The obama Newsvine we read

"The 2010 budget for Medicare, the health insurance program for people 65 and older, is proposed at $453 billion. That's a 6.5 percent increase from 2009".

However, the new Health Care bill cuts 400 billion from Medicare.

So, I get to keep my medicare but every trip to my doctor will probably end up with him/her saying

"take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning from the hospice if you are still alive".

I've read the book. I don't need your definition. I can't say much about your Medicare figures without sources, but the $400B cut is over 10 years. It could be that Medicare spending was set to increase more that $40B next year. I don't get the point of your last statement.

 

Why do you bother?

He's drowning in Kool Aide.

 

That's nice to hear from someone who has never met me. Do you think supporting health care reform makes me a bad Christian?

 

Not at all...but if you support this "health care reform," it does mean you are a poor judge of what is good fiscal policy, and it does mean that you are neglecting what is a significant threat to individual liberties.

 

Some folks think that the next best thing to a savior, a part from Jesus, is the government.

 

I agree that Obama's public option will not have a level the playing field with private plans. The public option is supposed to be more competitive than private insurance so that those who cannot afford a private plan can still get insurance without going to Medicare/Medicaid, especially if they do not qualify for those programs. It tries to capture more people who are uninsured.

So yes, it is not meant to be "fair" to private insurance companies but "fair" to the insured.

 

I've read your comments.

Anyone that believes at this late date that whoever wants to "can keep their current health insurance" is just not paying attention, being deliberately obtuse, or is so partisan that all they can do is, without thought or reasoning, repeat Obama's talking points.

A Kool Aide drinker.

 

The death panels will now have a bigger population to play around with.

 

Thanks to Rev. Mitchell, you have one more opportunity to educate yourself:

Sorry, but this logic, isn't.

When the private insurers are undercut, they go out of business. Then their customers are left with the government plan (especially if the house plan goes forward...that forces you to take the gov't plan if your plan changes or is cancelled).

That's simply the facts. It will happen.

 

The liar in chief is not trying to be fair to anyone. He is trying to usher in a New World Order where he gets to play robin hood in false scenario. He wants babies dead and terrorists alive.

 

Yeah, we all knew that some employers might drop/change insurance plans. What's your point?

 

Some that try to compete at the same market that the public option caters to will go out of business. Others that compete for different markets or aggressively compete in the same market as the public option will do well.

It is similar to Walmart coming in to a new neighborhood. Smaller businesses will need to adapt to meet the changing landscape. Those that do well often specialize in niche markets or offer superior customer service. In this case, these "smaller businesses" are actually multi-million dollar corporations with lots of resources, capital and connections at their disposal to rebrand themselves while trying to maintain their customer base from leaving for a competitor, something they have always been doing.
