Scan Medical Insurance

What are the lies in this?Some one said it was all Republican Lies so I would like to know what ones...?

Reid’s Senate version : + Hiding the $1.8 Trillion price tag by not accounting for actual costs. + Major reductions in Medicare benefits to seniors. + Major Tax Increases on every American to pay for it all. + Reid called for increasing the Medicare payroll tax. THE AAPS SURVEYS SHOWS THAT 70% OF DOCTORS WOULD REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PUBLIC PLAN IN THIS BILL (Courtesy: www.PatientsFirst.com) 1) Harry Reid has had his bill for 6 weeks – shouldn’t the American people have the same time period to review it and know what the bill contains? After all, 2,074 pages isn’t exactly light reading. 2) Some treatments could be deemed unnecessary – A government task force recently declared that mammograms for women younger than 50 were not recommended. The Health and Human Services Secretary quickly backed away from her task force’s declaration, but under these bills unaccountable bureaucracies would have vast new powers to coerce doctors to follow their recommendations. 3) Young people would be required to pay higher premiums – A study by actuarial firm Oliver Wyman found the restrictive new insurance regulations in both the House and Senate bills would increase premiums for young people by 69 percent. 4) Everyone would be forced to purchase costly plans – Requiring everyone to purchase expensive health care plans with high premiums – and not allowing people to choose affordable options that meet their budgets and needs – would mean lower-cost high-deductible plans would no longer be available. 5) Loads of new taxes – Nonpartisan experts at the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) have concluded that new excise taxes on medical devices would be passed on to patients, increasing insurance premiums and increasing prices on everything from wheelchairs to pacemakers. The tax increases in the Senate bill add up to almost $500 billion. 6) Expands Medicaid and shifts costs – The Senate bill would force 15 million Americans into the flawed Medicaid program, which 4 in 10 doctors won’t accept because the program underpays providers. Studies show that expanding the program directly increases costs for everyone else, since doctors and hospitals must make up for their losses under Medicaid by shifting costs to other patients. 7) Taxes “Cadillac” and union plans – The new 40 percent tax on high-end “Cadillac” health insurance plans (any plan over $8,500 for an individual or $23,000 for a family) would force companies to shift costs to employees or to reduce the value of the health benefits they provide. 8) Government-forced health care mandates on employers would require employers to pay up to 8% higher payroll taxes in the House bill and $750 per employee in the Senate bill. This will result in lower pay and job losses, especially for low-income workers. 9) Medicare benefits would be slashed by over $400 billion, reducing benefits for seniors and jeopardizing access to care for millions of others. If these cuts do not materialize, then the bills will dramatically increase deficits. 10) Millions will still be uninsured. Even though the whole health care system will be turned upside-down, the CBO says at the end of 10 years there will still be 24 million uninsured Americans under the Senate bill.

1. #10) The Millions, that you state,won't be insured, WILL be insured. They will be imprisoned for not acquiring health insurance, and thus will be covered under the prison systems medical care.
2. Hey, Skippy, shouldn't an organization calling itself 'Patients First' be advocating for...hmm...I don't know... the sick? You believe anything that people tell you if they have a bright, shiny name, don't you? Wow, the Right Wing sure sees you coming! How does it feel to be the low-hanging fruit? And how much pay do you receive for your blind advocacy? I'm starting a group called Jesus Loves Us All Except The Dirty Non-Christians, and all funds collected will go to putting abortions on pay-per-view. Would you join that? It has a really nice name that puppets like you will love!
3. All of the above is the truth. I wish all people would take a close look at this terrible health care bill and urge their senator to vote against it, because it is the wrong solution to the health care problem, and it's the wrong time for such a costly bill.
4. The libtards and Obamatards can only harp on one or two specifics that do not agree with their opinion. You only put down what was in the bill. The bill says these things so your data is irrefutable. I think it infuriates libtards when they are faced with the hypocrisy and corruptness of their own party. THus, I copy pasted this entire question and rant into my email folder and will come back to it repeatedly to see how many Kool-Ade drinkers I can offend. LOL
