are bias and prejudice fueling opposition to Obama's health care?
or is it just a really bad idea?
According to Charles Rangel(chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee) prejudice and bias towards Obama are bringing opposition to his plan.
No prejudice or bias required. I just don’t like the plans being proposed.
Instead of using a common sense approach of extending medicaid to the poor or putting cost reduction measures in place this administration has chosen to overhaul the whole system instead of correcting the problems.
The current plans being proposed will compete directly with private insurance. It will be sold at 10% less than private insurance according to Obama’s estimates, it will be subsidized by tax dollars and it will hold private insurance companies to standards it doesn’t have to follow. This will drive the affordable insurance companies out of business and put the majority of Americans on a sub-par government plan. The few remaining private companies will be extremely expensive and only the social elite will have good coverage.
Given the deals he cut with the drug companies, prescription prices will go up. Nothing proposed would help bring costs down. How are these plans still even on the table?
I have several other problems with the proposed legislation. None of them are race related.
dingding: I pointed at some of the obvious solutions that would work. Read the post. As for senior citizens giving up their social security and medicaid, it is just a matter of time. The government has squandered the money that they (and I) paid in to the system. By the admissions of the administrators the systems are bankrupt. What will we do then? They aren’t going to stop deducting it from my pay. How about giving all of the seniors the money they paid in to the system, the money the company had to match and the interest. They would be WAY better off. Do the math.
