Reply to Healthcare vs Connie Mack
To the editor:
What has he offered on downside of Public Option? One hundred and fourteen million Americans would lose insurance! Where did he get these stats? Private insurance losses, to Public Option? Federal deficit to $229 billion? Divide by 10 years equal $29 billion per year. Scrapping of the Republicans’ $100 billion missile project would go a long ways to the satisfying of this equation. Keep in mind, Republicans, $90 billion tax cut per year for the few. What happened to the $300 billion that was distributed prior to Obama’s taking office? That could have been some help here. $118 billion in new taxes and 53 new bureaucratic programs would be created? How many death/life panels would be shut down, in insurance companies, when decisions, for treatment, would be returned to the caregivers, rather then to insurance boards for profit.
Hidden taxes, converted to premiums, as well as cut in services, to the insured.
Nathan hit that one on the head. Scare-mongering could also be defined as red herring rhetoric of Republican strategies.
Note: how many decades have the Republicans had to address this issue, yet never did?
Bi-partisan; doubt this, that six Democrats have turncoats. That are failing to adhere to their responsibilities, I hold responsible.
Hoffman’s trillion-trillion? If you are referring to the debt the Republicans passed on to Obama. Wake up, you’re suggesting we continue with Connie Mack? He’s a Republican, what do you think he’s going to do. Resolve the issue? Again, heard no proposals for a solution. Hint-Connie Mack voted down extension on unemployment. Think your saving. Consider their purchase of various merchandise and services will now go extinct along with employment growth.
When questioned, VA does have good insurance. Veterans satisfied, why not follow suit? Connie Mack’s reply? Buy affordable insurance. Again no solution, more rhetoric nonsense,
Just as the constitutional amendment passed in the Republican State of Florida, in 2002-2003, should be reconsidered, as to patient signing off his rights. This is now October 2009?
Imagine that $2,300 a month premiums, affordable insurance? What do you think?
Your turn is coming under these present Republican guidelines. Mack’s solution go with cross line state insurance. That solution is so weak it doesn’t merit a reply. People here are intelligent enough how that works. Its demise would proceed its installation.
Insurance agent, Wayne Sakamoto goes for revenue neutral. Why? So we can let the insurance companies to start slapping the gears again and return us back to this same scenario? Not! Individual responsibility. Agreed; with that in mind, when we go to vote at election time, vote responsibly. Your homes, jobs and health on the line. Think of the 40,000 Americans dying because of a means to obtain medical treatment. Wonder if we lose more here or in vehicle accidents?
Mack’s answer? Hint: Ambassador Al Hoffmann, founder of WCI on the panel?
Mr. Porter single payer system proffered, no doubt, I agree. Trying to pacify Republicans, on this issue has resulted in this watered-down version. Now they (Republicans and six dems turncoat) are again trying to stall, drag and water down the option system. They have no solutions other than false red herring proposals.
Simplify the voting solution. My opinion:
Democrats – Socialist
Socialist’s job to is redistribute wealth from higher tier of classes to lower tier.
Political – Advance powers to lower tiers. Wealth to be redistributed into social programs. Example: Medicare, Medicaid, Social Programs, Social Security. Beware of communist ideals. They both have downside. Play one against other.
Republicans – Imperialists
Imperialist job to accumulate wealth from lower tiers to support the higher tiers.
Political – Advance systems to acquire greater lower tiers through suppression.
Examples – Colonizing, aristocratic, kings, queens, dictators.
By playing one against the other is empowered through Democracy.
History goes back to 500 B.C. Athens, Rome, etc., haves and have nots more basic term goes much further back into history. Approximately 4,500 B.C.
Democracy was a proposed solution betwixt the two. 500 B.C. in Athens.
Your choice, by vote. That I will leave to your responsibilities. Issues are constantly evolving as will your situation to them. At times we need to favor Republican ideals and at other times, Democrat ideals. In my opinion this is not the time for Republican ideals. Best to you all.
