"Government health insurance option appears doomed
Senior House Democrats have largely abandoned hopes of including a government-run insurance option in the final compromise health care bill taking shape, according to several officials
What a surprise.
And it will COST YOU MORE, too!!!
"Senate health plan would raise costs slightly
WASHINGTON - The Senate’s plan to expand health coverage to 34 million more Americans would raise costs slightly, government economic experts said in a report yesterday.
What does "slightly" mean?
I'm so sick of this agenda-pushing horse shit "journalism" I'm close to crying.
Over time, cost-cutting measures could start to reduce the annual increases in health care spending, offering the possibility of substantial savings in the long run.
HOW MANY MORE PROMISES are you WILLING to BELIEVE after SO MANY BROKEN ONES, America? They ALWAYS say this!
Yup, it will COST YOU NOW, but it will PAY OFF LATER -- and then it NEVER DOES!!!!?
At the same time, however, some of the Senate’s Medicare savings could be unrealistic and cause lawmakers to roll them back, according to Medicare’s top number crunchers....
President Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address yesterday to play up the brighter side of the overhaul he hopes to sign in time for his first State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress in a matter of weeks....
THAT is why his POLL NUMBERS are DROPPING!!!
We "elected" you so we could STOP HEARING LIES and yet HERE YOU ARE, 'bamer!
“Now, it’ll take a few years to fully implement these reforms in a responsible way,’’ the president said. “But what every American should know is that once I sign health insurance reform into law, there are dozens of protections and benefits that will take effect this year.’’
Yeah, YOU will be REQUIRED to buy CRAP COVERAGE from an INSURANCE CONGLOMERATE or PAY a TAX, America!!!
NO PUBLIC OPTION, NO SINGLE-PAYER, NO EXPANDED MEDICAID, and now NO EMPLOYER MANDATE!!
The ONLY THING you are getting is a TAX!!!!
--more--"
And ON THAT, they are FLEXIBLE, liberals!!!
"Administration says it is flexible on health plan tax
Christina Romer, White House economist, indicated yesterday that the administration is willing to negotiate a proposed tax on high-cost health plans as a means of financing a health care overhaul.
Oh, but they are NOT FLEXIBLE when it comes to YOUR CONCERNS, liberals!!
How does it feel to be constantly f***ed, huh?
"Vital niche drugs often subject to big price hikes" by New York Times | January 11, 2010
NEW YORK - Prices for a small but growing number of brand-name drugs have risen more than twofold in recent years as drug makers seek to squeeze greater profits out of often small-selling but vital medicines, according to congressional investigators....
But it is ALL about YOUR HEALTH, right, 'murkn?
Where I come from that is called EXTORTION!!!
Nearly a third of the drugs whose prices were substantially raised were intended to treat depression, anxiety, and other disorders of the central nervous system, while many others were intended to treat infections or cardiovascular problems....
Yeah, create the di$order and then pre$cribe a cure.
In more than half of the cases disclosed by investigators, the price increases were made by a middleman who bought the medicines from manufacturers and repackaged them for hospitals or doctors....
Well, if we were getting SINGLE-PAYER then.... awwwww, forget it, AmeriKa!!!!
