GOP's Health Insurance Reform 'Ideas' Don't Include Covering Pre-Existing Conditions

Let's see now. All the other industrialized nations of the world have not-for-profit health insurance. The US ranks 37th in life expectancy. We're even farther down the ladder on infant mortality, a critical test of what a good health care system needs to be. So the US, wealthiest nation in the world, a leading innovator in medical treatments and technologies, while paying twice as much as other health care systems which have various methods of government insurance, cannot provide adequate health care for a huge segment of its population...and growing. The annual deaths due to this neglect can be likened to fifteen 9/11s. Nearly sixty percent of the annual bankruptcies are caused by this neglect. And the lack of health care system reform now proposed by Congress and the president also contributes mightily to the wrongful deaths among those who are insured. We have more disabled, more job displaced and our businesses, large and small are adversely impacted or driven out of business. Why is the government the answer for the rest of the world but not the US? What is wrong with the US that it is incapable of insuring its people? Simply, corporations are making money hand over fist and paying off as many politicians as they can to keep it that way. The whole thing is a huge con game. They're even exempt from anti-trust laws with resulting near-monopolies which allows price fixing and "death panels" with bonuses for their grizzly work. Every American who clings to this idea that for profit insurance makes it better is a prime candidate for being sold the Brooklyn Bridge. Barnum was right. There's a sucker born every minute....and it ain't the progressives.

USPS/IRS Health Care

If health care is the problem, insurance is not the cause and government is not the answer.

Of those "50 million," that lack insurance there were 45,000 who died without health care.

  WITH health care, 98,000 died FROM health care because of malpractice.

The question is do we want to trust that largest corporation in the world, the U.S. Government.

Do not expect house calls anytime soon.

We have seen how well the government delivers on its promises and its bureaucracies pursue the money without giving us benefits on so many levels.

Imagine another 111 bureacracies that only ultimately must listen to the Secretary of the Treasury - another "service" of which is the IRS.

That blog of mine above has several .pdf connections (HR. 3962 and two summaries, a few videos, and page references for new taxes and other mandates). If you cannot use the link, google "Progressive Capitalist H.R. 3962."

If you believe the promises of this bill, you have to deal with the lie that it fosters competition with a government option called the "Public Option" and establishes the government as a monopoly making its own rules.

Don't worry. You'll run out of "rich" soon enough. We have at least a$12 trillion economy of which at least $1.8 trillion is spent on health care.

If you read the bill, there are plenty of opportunities to soak the middle class, if you do not mind the 1.6 million made jobless.

Seems like being a gop-er, neo-con, or just a repubie, is a pre-existing condition. People with those should be committed, incarcerated or executed (whichever is the most convenient at given moment), so the disease does not spread.  Oh, and forget the coverage, unless it is 6 feet of dirt.
