Obama Meeting Democrats to Plan Health Strategy

Article

With a sense of growing horror, I wonder if I'm reading some science fiction novel about some evil demented alternate universe, or if this really is our news and they really mean it.


Mr. Baucus’s plan would also expand Medicaid, starting in 2014, to cover millions of low-income people, including many childless adults who never qualified before.


You mean you don't know ? If you're poor , they just let you die ?


But Jocelyn A. Guyer, co-executive director of the Center for Children and Families at Georgetown University, expressed concern. “Low-income people without children tend to have extensive health care needs — higher rates of mental illness, physical disability and chronic conditions,” she said.


It's too expensive to treat them ! we should just let them die !


But remarks by the White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, on the flight to Cincinnati reflected an effort by the White House to play down the importance of a public option to the larger overhaul. Mr. Gibbs said a public option would not affect most Americans — up to 180 million — because they already have insurance through employers.


180/300 is not "most" , its slightly more than half. Are you telling me that a hundred and twenty million people in america have no health insurance ?


“If House leadership presents a final bill that contains a government-run public option, I will oppose it,” Mr. Ross said in a statement issued Tuesday, the Associated Press reported.


So this whole "limited life time benifits paid out" and "Type One Uninsurables need not apply" that private insurance companies have should be the way it goes ? If you get truely sick they just punt you to the curb and thats a good thing ?


“I’ve got a question for all those folks who say we’re going to pull the plug on Grandma,”
you offered free health care and I still cant believe they accused you of that.


“What’s your answer? What’s your solution? And you know what? They don’t have one. Their answer is to do nothing.”


Actually , their answer is "we like it the way it is right now where we get to punt people to the curb when we've bled they dry of every penny and make room for the next victem"


I can't believe this is really happening.

But it is.

American Health Care.
Capitalism at it's finest.
