Romney is calling for a full repeal of Obamacare if elected. Are you going to help?
Plus you have the option of keeping your own heath coverage if you want!!
Before you go condemning the bill, read it and see what it actually does. The same type of plan is working well in Massachusetts and most people like it.
It's criminal to see people having to choose between a place to live and going to the hospital in some cases. As healthcare should be something everyone gets, where I am it's part of the taxes we pay, nobody notices, and you never have to worry about getting sick.
Here's 7 facts for you.
How would that work out for you? Could you afford to pay for your medication, office visits, emergency room if you have an accident, etc.? Not many people would be able to pay. You could lose your home and go bankrupt due to any condition or illness that could not be treated because you can't afford it.
We need this healthcare law so that this doesn't happen to any American and so that all Americans can received the medical care they need when they need it. It's all good. I don't understand why people are so opposed to having healthcare for all.
If a family in my neighborhood or someone I knew had no food, I would buy them food and help them as much as I could. I am not a Christian but this is the Christian thing to do. It's also the humane thing to do.
I worked in the health insurance business for 27 years and our rates went up each and every year so your rates going up is not new. The reason they go up is that hospitals have to charge exorbitant fees to cover those who arrive at the ER or hospital without insurance. You can't really blame them. They have to pay the bills too. So, the best thing to do is have everyone insured and paying something so that prices can be allowed to stabilize or even go down.
Also insurance company rates are padded as well for the very same reason. A lot of young healthy people think they don't need health insurance so they don't buy it. But, all of a sudden they are in an accident or get sick suddenly and where do the end up? At the hospital! And who pays for that. You, and I and everyone else who has insurance.
So wouldn't the smart thing be to make sure that everyone is cove...

So wouldn't the smart thing be to make sure that everyone is covered whether they are young and healthy or older and ill? It spreads the cost around much more fairly.
This bill also mandates that health insurance companies spend 80% of insurance premiums collected on actual health care. That's not a requirement now and a lot of insurance companies use your premiums to pay exceedingly high salaries to their top executives. That's not right either and it will have to stop once this bill is enacted.
Health care for all is a good thing, not a bad thing. What's bad is turning your back on your fellow human being and not at least trying to provide healthcare for everyone.
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with birdseed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop! It was everywhere, on the patio tile, the chairs, the table…everywhere!
Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. The other birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn’t even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like it used to be…quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now let’s see…..
Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.

Then the illegals came by the tens and hundreds of thousands, millions. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child’s 2nd grade class is behind other schools because half the class doesn’t speak English. Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to ‘press one’ to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than ‘Old Glory’ are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties. When asked why they breed like cockroaches, the reply is that it is a cultural thing.
Just my opinion but, maybe its time for the government to take down the bird feeder.

Effective Jan. 1, 2011, the cost of an over-the-counter medicine or drug cannot be reimbursed from Flexible Spending Arrangements (FSAs) or health reimbursement arrangements unless a prescription is obtained. The change does not affect insulin, even if purchased without a prescription, or other health care expenses such as medical devices, eye glasses, contact lenses, co-pays and deductibles. This standard applies only to purchases made on or after Jan. 1, 2011. A similar rule went into effect on Jan. 1, 2011, for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), and Archer Medical Savings Accounts (Archer MSAs). Employers and employees should take these changes into account as they make health benefit decisions. For more information, see news release IR-2010-95, Notice 2010-59, Revenue Ruling 2010-23 and our questions and answers. FSA and HRA participants can continue using debit cards to buy prescribed over-the-counter medicines, if requirements are met. For more information, see news release IR-2010-128 and Notice 2011-5.
In addition, starting in 2013, there are new rules about the amount that can be contributed to an FSA. Notice 2012-40 provides information about these rules and flexibility for employers applying the new rules and requests comments about other possible administrative changes to the rules on FSA contributions. The Notice provides instructions on how to submit comments.
Employer Shared Responsibility Payment
Starting in 2014, certain employers must offer health coverage to their full-time employees or a shared responsibility payment may apply. Information may be found in news releases IR-2011-92 and IR-2011-50 and Notices 2011-73 and 2011-36. Additionally, Notice 2012-17 provides answers to frequently asked questions from employers regarding automatic enrollment, employer shared responsibility and waiting periods.
