    Don't get me wrong I will vote for Romney, Barry has got to go, But this Issue and Gun Control were my concerns about Romney. He Created Romneycare, During the debates he said he liked Ryans Ideas but has not yet released any real concreate plans on his Healthcare Policies. If he does anything other then getting the FEDRAL Government out of healthcare then he will have lied to the Voters about what he would do

    Mitt does not have a plan .. that would benefit the middle class .. only a plan for the wealthy .. and they don't need Obama care ...

    He will give all 50 states waivers for Obamacare and give the power back to the states. Of course all this and more is on his website look it up for yourself.

    ...And you actually believe that he'll keep his promises once he's elected??? Here's a hint: if his lips are moving, he's lying! He's a RINOsaur!

    Well, hopefully, it won't be a socialist expensive joke of a policy like Obama care.

    Then why was Obamacare based on Romneycare? The difference is that Obamacare is unconstitutional and Romneycare isn't.
  • Nestofa... DJL 2012/05/18 01:53:41
    Nestofasssps
    oh so you have made up the SCOTUS Mind for them have you??
    I think Ill wait for an informed decision, when it comes out.

    IS Romney suggesting romneycare as his plan for the rest of the country, NOPE
    where is their plan????
  • DJL Nestofa... 2012/05/18 02:13:46
    DJL
    Romney is smart enough to know that Romneycare is unconstitional if he tried to force it on the states so no that is not his plan. Getting rid of Obamacare comes first and then a new plan can be worked on.

    SO what do people do until they decide what their plan is gonna be now
    so you care??
    Reform has been needed for decades, yet the right hasnt had a "decent" reform idea , just oppose anything that comes up from the left.
    YAY helping people who need help, they can just go without the care they need.GAH

    Obamacare is unconstitutional and has only driven up insurance rates. Doing nothing is better than government interference that makes things worse.

    no the insurance companies are screwing you, the mandate hasnt been initiated, remember? So you let the corporations interefere with your life and control you more than the government do, now thats smart... Look at JP Morgan, look at the Koch brothers, look at Adelsom...theres a prime example of being shafted by a coprporation, look at the oil companies, look at the credit card companies, all designed to take your money and reduce your choices, phone companies, internet companies, they are all screwing you, yet you are happy with that... what a strange way of looking at things

    The centerpiece of Romney's plan would overhaul the way most Americans get their health coverage: at work. He would do so by giving Americans a tax break to buy their own health plans. That would give consumers more choices, but also more risk.

    But unlike Obama's healthcare law, Romney's plan could fundamentally change the rules for the more than 150 million Americans who get insurance through their employers. These workers get a large tax break because their health benefits are not taxed. Businesses that provide insurance also get a break because their contributions to their employees' health plans aren't taxed.

    In place of that system, Romney would give Americans a tax break to buy their own health plans, regardless of whether their employers offered coverage.

    "This gets greater consumer choice so that people can buy what they want, not just what their employer wants to give them," Romney said last year while explaining his plan at the University of Michigan.

    So those that get thier health care through an Employer would see a bigger dip into thier paychecks from it but would be refunded a large portion of it on thier tax returns and those that do not would be on more of an equal footing with the government refunding them part of thier premium expense.

    The question was not about my personal healthcare - but since for some reason you seem to have a bug up your ass about me, I pay about $800/month out of pocket for private health insurance. Happy now?

    The question, since your reading comprehension seems to be impaired, was about romney's plan.

    As a physician, I have a problem with people dying of, and suffering morbidity from, treatable diseases because they cannot afford care. This does not happen in other first world countries. I do not think it's okay that it happens here.

    Conservatives think it's just fine. This is one of the many reasons I am not a conservative.
  • Uranos7 abycinn... 2012/05/17 22:17:28

    Romneys plan will make it affordable for everyone by giving them a refund on thier tax return to cover part of thier premium costs.
  • abycinn... Uranos7 2012/05/17 23:39:17
    abycinnamon BN-1
    right. and for those who cannot afford those premium costs, oh well. Once again the working poor will be screwed. But that's okay. romney doesn't care about those people. He's said so.
  • Uranos7 abycinn... 2012/05/18 04:00:58

    They were screwed under Obama care as well that required them to get healthcare and punished them if they did not, yet did not help pay for it at all.

    the health care reform that passed is not what I would have liked to have seen, but it does include things that are very good, and many more people will have access to health care who did not have it before. I'm certainly not saying the system is perfect - but I do think it's better than what we had before, and better than what mittster proposes.
  • Uranos7 abycinn... 2012/05/18 23:19:09

    Do you really know what Romney is proposing or are you opposing it because he is republican?
    Mitch McConnel proposed a healthcare plan that included private pay government funded option in 1993 yet it was shot down by democrats.
  • abycinn... Uranos7 2012/05/19 00:32:34
    abycinnamon BN-1
    and now republicans are opposing an individual mandate even though it was their idea. your point?
  • Uranos7 abycinn... 2012/05/19 01:29:00
    Uranos7
    Not mandate,
    Government sponsored plan as in the government acting the way an employer does in paying half the premium, for those making less than $100k per year and thier employer does not offer it. Or paying all of it for those below the poverty level.
    The republicans resisted it because they thought the mandate unfair without the government option, and so did Obama in the 2008 democratic primaries. He sold out to the lobbyist he put on the committeee to create Obamacare.
    The democratic senator Bauchas even had the 5 liberals that asked about it in the press conference announcing Obamacare arrested.

    Check out : PBS.org frontline 'Obama's Deal'
    It gives the history of Obamacare from the beginning.
    This video shows Obama debating himself on his views of the mandate before and after the primaries.

    They have alread intimated they will keep
    1. Popular kids on parents policies to age 26
    2. Insurers can't refuse based on pre-existing conditions.

    However, these two items under Obamacare are paid for by the increased customer base that the mandate brings in. If you remove the mandate (as the GOP want to) how will the insurance companies fund items 1 & 2? That's right. Your premiums will skyrocket.

    I got an idea, How about we don't replace it at all, just get government out of healthcare completely.
  • abycinn... BetaMax... 2012/05/17 21:06:26
    abycinnamon BN-1
    yeah. get rid of medicare. that'll go over real well.
  • BetaMax... abycinn... 2012/05/18 17:03:57
    BetaMaxevony
    I don't personally care how well it goes over. The government needs to get out of the health care business. If government must give you healthcare, they then must have the authority to tell you what you can and can't do in order to reduce the costs of that care. I rather prefer to be fully responsible for my own body and the choices I make regarding my health.
  • abycinn... BetaMax... 2012/05/19 00:30:19
    abycinnamon BN-1
    if you want to self insure, and you can afford having cancer or needing a bypass without medicare - well, good for you. Most people cannot do that. The "well just let them die" approach is unacceptable to most human beings.
  • BetaMax... abycinn... 2012/05/19 00:42:24

    You've mis-used the term 'self-insure' here. I'd prefer to get my health insurance through an employer-provided group plan, or simply pay the bill myself. I believe health insurance should only be used for critical care and expensive treatments instead of routine doctor visits. A regular check-up with your doctor should cost what we currently pay in co-pays. Self-insured implies that I would cover the whole cost of all healthcare out of pocket... I don't know many people who can do that for critical care without selling their house. Just because government gets out of healthcare, does not mean that all insurance would vanish. Insurance was available long before government got involved.

    There's no need for one. Obamacare really doesn't provide any services that weren't already being provided. They just change who pays for them and add a whole bunch of taxes and fees.

    Repeal will never happen but Romney can give everybody a waiver except of course the college campus where Obama will be working when he is fired in January.

    You have to start over and do it right istead of the liberal power and money grab they crammed down on us.
    Maybe Romney will actually listen to what the libs have to say, but it won't be a one way cram down like the turd on the table now.
