“Every single Republican in the House and Senate voted against Obamacare.”

Wait, what?

That is an outright lie. If it was the truth we wouldn’t even be talking about this subject today.

I sat there through that Christmas and watched our country bought and sold.

Don’t feel old my “baby” is 28 and the oldest will be 37 this year. Excuse me while I go cry and break all the mirrors in the house. I’ll try to remember the right day on the 11th and Happy Birthday to your daughter.

Nope. The 11th. My baby girl will be 25 tomorrow, though. Yikes!

Is it Happy Anniversary Day?

HealthCare does not equal Health Insurance. Noone in DC seems to get this. Maybe when all the doctors retire or get bought out by hospitals, they will start to get a clue.

txmomof6 on July 5, 2012 at 10:30 PM

I’m late to this thread, and someone else probably picked up on this, but I think your comment is accurate only if reversed.
“Health insurance does not equal health care.” One of the many problems with this bill is that it is not about health care which is ultimately going to suffer greatly under the weight of its 2,000-whatever pages. People will have “insurance” in name only, but will have difficulty getting quality timely care.

And Romney………..get ready because you and your wealth are about to be destroyed by the GATES OF HELL re-elect machine and the media!!!!

very good point aj

What, is he giving odds for this? Who’s backing them? Which way is Soros going?

Because it’s not true perhaps? That there must be some of that Founding Fathers mythology Bayam was talking about.

At the moment of the revolution 1/5th of the population within the borders of colonial America were black slaves. That is significant, no matter how you slice it.I suggest reading Edmund Morgan’s classic book American Slavery, American Freedom.

What’s also depressing is that I live in the best city in the world for healthcare, with MD Anderson in my own back yard. My mother got the best cancer treatment around at age 82 even though she wasn’t given much time. If this isn’t stopped, seniors and probably boomers won’t have that chance because we’ll be deemed too costly by the death panel.

Am I the only one who’s been extremely depressed to the point of tears? It’s hard to digest the fact that in my lifetime, I will have seen the country flip from a Leave it to Beaver world to the old CCCP.

So if you want the fast and easy solution to something like, say, insurers not paying out benefits that they have agreed to pay out, then change the law to reflect that this is a bad practice and intolerable. Regulation makes it tolerable and more expensive to those getting shafted. Instead of regulation make the law clear and simple: any insurer that is found in breach of contract for payment three times in its history will be barred from offering all forms of insurance.

Really, that will get bad actors out of the market at a rate that will make your eyes water. It will put a positive incentive to companies to write clear and concise policies that do not get into fine print because the chance for misinterpretation of such fine print will be high which will lead to litigation at a faster rate every time the company tries to point to the fine print that is exempting it from vast swathes of liability that they say they cover in larger type, up front. Cleaner policies means fewer bureaucrats to administer it, lowering overhead, which lowers cost of compliance. And, because the penalties are harsh for repeated misconduct and the view that inability to understand what it is you are actually covering in your policies, the simpler and more direct policies must become so as to reduce processing overhead and chances of being seen as avoiding liabilities and doing a ‘bait and switch’ to policy holders.

If you want to eliminate the behavior on the part of companies, then penalize it to the maximum and yet still allow a lee-way so that companies can change their internal policies to survive. Put those penalties on to the parent company of any insurance subsidiary, and the threat to the main office of such a company becomes dire, indeed. Regulation just means you find misdeeds acceptable and just want to raise the cost to all involved and expand government – it does not fix the problem and often makes it worse by shielding bad actors behind a wall of litigation costs the individual can not overcome.

But then I’m just a harsh, nasty person who wants lower overhead on the part of government and higher accountability to the lowest levels of society by all corporate and government actors. Three strikes and you’re out is eminently reasonable, harsh but gives a chance for reform, and final. Plus it puts the power into the hands of individuals like nothing else you can muster from any part of government, from any army of bureaucrats ever devised.

You want to stop the bad activity? Prove it. Put forward something else that penalizes the activity and doesn’t end up protecting the bad actors from their misdeeds… which means you can’t invoke regulatory power beyond something very modest that puts power into the hands of the many, instead of concentrating it into the hands of the few. Seems there was a Nation founded on something like that, once. My bet is that this Nation is about to re-appear on the face of this Earth again, to make tyrants large and small tremble at the sight of free people living their lives full of liberty and holding each other to account for it without much, if any, government ‘help’.

I wrote my daily email to the Romney campaign telling him to start hitting back and talking about the taxes in Ocare that are relatively unknown. Am I the only one who’s been extremely depressed to the point of tears? It’s hard to digest the fact that in my lifetime, I will have seen the country flip from a Leave it to Beaver world to the old CCCP. One chance left to stop this monster. One slim chance.

puhleeze, Mr I Won during the first go around with health care….

2,700+ pages of law…
13,000 pages of regulation so far…

and it still needs improving?

We are so screwed..

“I’ll work with anybody who wants to work with me to continue to improve our health care system and our health care laws, but the law I passed is here to stay,” Obama said
