ObamaCare…coming soon

[Veritas]

One of the big problems with the last Health care proposal by Hillary is rearing its ugly head in Obama care:

Unfortunately, the Clinton/Mitchell bill’s approach is quite different. Under the so-called “community rating” formula every person in a health alliance will pay the same premium regardless of age, sex, or medical condition. New York State implemented the same one-price-fits-all regime last year, with dismaying results.

In the first year of community rating 25-year-old males were hit with premium hikes of over $500, while 55-year-olds paid about $415 less than under the risk-rated system. Not surprisingly many young people decided to drop their coverage. With fewer young, healthy policyholders available to subsidize older ones, insurance premiums skyrocketed again this year. The upshot: Even older policyholders–who, in theory, should pay less under community rating–are paying slightly more.

Community rating together with universal coverage ensures a more regressive distribution of income. The median income of workers aged 25 or under, for example, is only $18,313, compared to $43,751 for those aged 45 to 54. Yet the Mitchell bill would force young people to pay $650 per year more than the real cost of their insurance and subsidize older people by about $2,000. The bottom line is a net transfer of $59 billion from people in their twenties and thirties to those 55 to 64.

The other problem is that in 2016 social security goes deficit, followed by 2017 the medicare trust is headed for deficit status.

I was listening Dennis Prager interview a doctor. To shorten what the doc said; You are more likely to lose your savings here in the USA and more likely to die from a major illness in the more socialized systems.

I asked a nurse practitioner if she agreed with that assessment and she said yes.

Any docs here in the house? Do you agree or disagree?

You can’t get questions like this from the mainstream media it seems. Just like during the height of the gun debate no one ever asked cops on the street what would be the results of banning all guns.

Obama care will hurt the elderly:
There are two very important parts of the house-passed health care bill that you need to know about. The first is a rule that states, if you do not have some kind of health insurance you will be fined. So if you don’t think you need health insurance or you are rich enough to pay for it out of pocket, you will be fined until you get government health care. How will this bring down costs, when you make people who don’t want or need health insurance sign up for government health insurance. The second thing that you need to understand is that the bill says that once the legislation has been passed, private health care can never sign anyone else up for insurance. This means if you have your own health insurance through your job and you change jobs you must sign up for government heath insurance. If you are self employed and have you own insurance you can’t change companies unless you change it to the government plan. This isn’t about cost savings but control. What else do you call it when no one can opt out, except for congress?

“Finally, there is health care. Every cliché Ann Coulter throws at the Democrats is gloriously fulfilled by the Democratic health care bills. The bills do almost nothing to control health care inflation. They are modeled on the Massachusetts health reform law that is currently coming apart at the seams precisely because it doesn’t control costs. They do little to reward efficient providers and reform inefficient ones.”

“The House bill adds $239 billion to the federal deficit during the first 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. It would pummel small businesses with an 8 percent payroll penalty. It would jack America’s top tax rate above those in Italy and France. Top earners in New York and California would be giving more than 55 percent of earnings to one government entity or another.”

“Nancy Pelosi has lower approval ratings than Dick Cheney and far lower approval ratings than Sarah Palin. And yet Democrats have allowed her policy values to carry the day — this in an era in which independents dominate the electoral landscape.”
