Progressives and Conservatives Agree-The Senate Health Care Bill Should Start Over.
Robert Dobbs for Congress, SC-01
This bill is nothing but a load of crap! We see the State of South Carolina and other States will have to pay for Medicare and Medicaid in other States because certain Senators were paid off to vote for the bill. This is immoral and wrong. Senator Harry Reid, President Obama, any who support this in the Senate need to start from scratch and come up with a proposal that doesn’t, once again, fleece the taxpayers and subsidize the health care corporations with taxpayer dollars. Mr. President, Senator Reid, and fellow Democrats you promised changed, but now a cow tailing to the special interests over the health and welfare of Americans!
Top Reasons to Kill Senate Health Care Bill:
• $476 billion in new public funds for premium subsidies would go to insurance firms.
• Forces you to pay up to 8% of your income to private insurance corporations, without giving you any option of.
• If you refuse to buy the insurance, you will be penalized of up to 2% of your annual income to the IRS.
• You will be forced to buy poor-quality insurance, at the determination of the health care corporations, with $11,900 in annual out-of-pocket expenses over and above their annual premiums.
• Paid for by taxes on the middle class insurance plan you have right now through your employer, causing them to cut back benefits and increase co-pays.
• You have to pay the taxes for the bill now, but you won’t see any benefits until 2014 when the program begins.
• Allows insurance companies to discriminate against people who are older and charge them 300% more than others.
• Grants monopolies to drug companies that will keep generic versions of expensive biotech drugs from ever coming to market.
• No re-importation of prescription drugs (ie Canada), which would save consumers $100 billion over 10 years.
• The cost of medical care will continue to rise, and insurance premiums for a family of four will rise an average of $1,000 a year — meaning in 10 years, your family’s insurance premium will be $10,000 more annually than it is right now.
• 23 million people will remain uninsured when the plan finally takes effect.
• The Bill will cut $43 billion in Medicare payments to safety-net hospitals.
• No public option.
Progressives, Conservatives, and everyday Americans all agree this bill is not what America needs. This needs to stop now and the process needs to begin again with what America needs and really wants. Why do we need to pass a lousy bill now that doesn’t take effect until 2014, why don’t we move slower and get this right! We already have lousy health care and having Autistic children, my wife and I fully know how the health care industry wasn’t there for us and this bill is no better, if not worse!
