Backdoor to socialized medicine?

For me the stock market is not a good measure for good legislation. After all the insurance companies got everything they wanted and are riding the wave. Soon, this tide will turn and they will be in trouble.

Here is a stock market example: Jack in the Box has grown 20% YTD while Qualcomm, is down about -10%. Doesn’t make sense. Burgers outpaces technology??

“Obama made better coverage for children a centerpiece of his health care remake, but it turns out the letter of the law provided a less-than-complete guarantee that kids with health problems would not be shut out of coverage. Under the new law, insurance companies still would be able to refuse new coverage to children because of a pre-existing medical problem, said Karen Lightfoot, spokeswoman for the House Energy and Commerce Committee, one of the main congressional panels that wrote the bill Obama signed into law Tuesday.”

I don’t see the Republicans scrambling to offer legislation to close that gap in coverage for children.

Instead Republicans are scrambling to destroy rather than build upon what was achieved.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hours after President Barack Obama signed historic health care legislation, a potential problem emerged. Administration officials are now scrambling to fix a gap in highly touted benefits for children.

[quote=briansd1]flu, if Taiwan can do it, why can’t we?

In 1949 when the KMT fled to Taiwan, that island was an economy backwater.

I don’t think that businesses are too worried about the new health care bill. The stock market moved up in response to the passage of the bill.

I understand that small businesses are having a hard time because of lack of sales. But it’s not because of health care reform that’s not been implemented yet.[/quote]

What part of “The U.S. government is fiscally broke (IE have no money) versus the Chinese and Taiwanese government have huge surpluses” do you not understand. Let’s do some investigation, but I’m willing to bet money that the Chinese and Taiwanese government do not nearly pass these “costs” along to businesses.

BTW: most tech companies in asia I work with are on 6 day to 7 day work weeks, if you want to talk about productivity. Also, I think most americans would probably object to a 6-7 work weeks.
That’s what we’re facing in the U.S in terms of cost structures. You add that up, maybe you can start to understand why while this bill isn’t the only issue driving up cost, anything that is driving up cost doesn’t help us to be more competitive.
