Healthcare reform

Steele should take his comedy show on the road

Nice try Mike (H/T- C & L)

President Obama and Congressional Democrats are promoting a government-run health care experiment that will cut over $500 billion from Medicare to be used to pay for their plan. Medicare should not be raided to pay for another entitlement.

On the contrary, the bill includes several key provisions that improve Medicare benefits for seniors, including the following:

Phases in completely filling in the “donut hole” in the Medicare prescription drug benefit (where drug costs are not reimbursed at certain levels), potentially savings seniors thousands of dollars a year.

Eliminates co-payments and deductibles for preventive services under Medicare.

Limits cost-sharing requirements in Medicare Advantage plans to the amount charged for the same services in traditional Medicare coverage.

Improves the low-income subsidy programs in Medicare, such as by increasing asset limits for programs that help Medicare beneficiaries pay premiums and cost-sharing.

The speed of stupid? Fastidious.

I’ll have to admit, this is the longest rant about one of my posts. First off, I am satirical, so I use potty-words, especially when comes to people like Bob Ellis and ironic Johnny, and secondly, Thune’s testimony can be summed up very quickly; Him and the GOP have no plan for healthcare reform besides tax credits, which is not reform. Tax credits already exist, and if they worked, we would not need reform.

Have a chuckle on me;

We pay, now, the price for what is the best medical industry in the world.  And take this into consideration in its fullness:  our infrastructure, our research, and our treatments, together, all have a price tag that is far larger than that of other countries, to be sure.  But other countries pay $0 for the investment that is the research cost that we pay with our dollars and time.  They only pay the price of the new “treatment” as it is in the current system (excluding factors like tariffs, export taxes, government regulations, etc.), whereas each time we go to the doctor, in addition to paying for the services rendered, the cost of investing in the best health care system in the world is included in our bill.

BAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, we pay twice as much as other industrialized nations and rate 35th. Even Cuba who pays their doctors $30 a month has a less infant mortality rate then us. Keep spreading the bullshit, and you teabaggers will get your way. Thank goodness there is no Hell, because they would reserve a special room for you.

Don’t confuse them with facts!

Great letter to the editor, but I had to laugh, there is so much factual information it might make rightwingers heads explode

Some Arguments Against Health Care Reform Are:

– 1) It is too expensive.

– It seems we can spend money on initiating two concurrent wars without argument, but when it comes to spending money to keep our own citizens healthy, there is no money to be found.
