What Chicago companies pay their employees' tuition?

Why is this bad for America?

  • 1. Once reform is fully implemented, over 95% of Americans will PAY to have MANDATED health insurance coverage, including 32 million who are currently uninsured but could possibly have a job in 4 years. Those that don't will go on medicare 2. Health insurance companies will no longer be allowed to deny INDIVIDUAL people coverage because of preexisting conditions—or to drop INDIVIDUAL coverage when people become sick. However, they may drop the coverage all together for everyone under that one particular group for that one particular condition. 3. Just like members of Congress, individuals and small businesses who can't afford to purchase insurance on their own will be able to pool together and choose from a variety of competing plans with lower premiums paid for with tax breaks that may not save them more money than the fine they will have to pay if they do not. 4. Reform will cut the federal budget deficit by $138 billion over the next ten years, and a whopping $1.2 trillion in the following ten years based on a theorized decline in the cost of health insurance. 5. Health care will be more affordable for families and small businesses that chose not to offer health insurance, thanks to new tax credits for INDIVIDUALS, subsidies, and other assistance—paid for largely by taxing insurance companies, drug companies, and people making over 200,000 dollars a year. These credits will be available to only the very lowest income families. Those who make less that 133% the poverty level will have to pay 3 to 4% of their yearly income to qualify. Most families will have to spend over 10% of their yearly income on medical expenses to qualify. 6. Seniors on Medicare will pay less for their prescription drugs because the legislation closes the "donut hole" gap in existing coverage by taking them off Medicare and making them pay for private insurance through the above mentioned government aid. 7. By reducing health care costs for employers but at the same time taxing them to create the so called "surplus", in theory, the reform will create or save more than 2.5 million jobs over the next decade by mostly establishing a government run and appointed branch of the executive government called the "health commission" that will oversee who, what, when, where and how procedures are covered under medicare and the aforementioned government aid is handed out. 8. Medicaid will be expanded to offer health insurance coverage to an additional 16 million low-income people who make less than minimum wage at 40 hours a week. 9. Instead of losing coverage after they leave home or graduate from college, young adults will be able to remain on their families' insurance plans until age 26 causing their parents extra financial burdens that can not be included in their tuition as is currently the case. 10. Community health centers would receive an additional $11 billion, doubling the number of patients who can be treated regardless of their insurance or ability to pay assuming they use that money for employees rather than medical supplies. Obviously it's terrible for people who make over $ 200k a year but considering the fact that there's more people who make under 200k than over it benefits more people than it hurts. And for those who complain about 'being forced' to buy health insurance i think everyone should be forced to buy it yu can't predict if something will happen to you and what happens to the bills for uninsured americans?

  • Answer:

    Everyone should have health care but they wont buy it even if they had the money but it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars when you have a criticial illness such as a heart attack or cancer. A person should have life Ins too in order to cover there family because tomorrow is uncertain

Well, let's just take Number 4: "Reform will cut the federal budget deficit by $138 billion over the next ten years, and a whopping $1.2 trillion in the following ten years based on a theorized decline in the cost of health insurance." Because this is an interesting one. The reason that it cuts the deficit is because the bill raises taxes and fees on insurance companies, medical equipment manfufacturers and the individual...that's you and me. In order to pay these new taxes, my medical insurance company informed me on Monday that my rates were going up by 20 to 30%. To me, this represents over $4,000 a year. Do I blame the insurance company? No. I blame the government. This rate increase is necessary to meet the costs of the new taxes, fees and extraordinary new requirements placed on insurance companies. They have no choice. So, of my insurance premiums? I can point directly to the fact that over a quarter of my premium is DIRECTLY the result of government fees and extras. Does it provide better care? Does it provide greater availability? Do I get anything at all from this $4,000 increase? Nope. Not a god dammed things. So you see, it is easy to reduce the deficit when you raise taxes and fees on the people. And I'm just one person. I'm not unique. Everyone who has insurance or is provided insurance by their companies will see similar increases. We will all see 20 to 30% increases in our health insurance premiums, but oh! Joy! The government is going to save a penny on every dollar it spends. You need to ask yourself how the government can mandate a 'cadillac in every garage' and still cut the deficit. How do you do this? Well, you put a Cadillac in every garage whether the person needs it or not and then you send them the bill. I've tried to be polite through out this response, but let me tell you what, I'm pissed as hell and my butt hole hurts from the f*cking I'm getting. But don't worry. You'll be getting yours f*cked here soon. You just haven't gotten the bill yet. But you will. Very soon.
