The Health Insurance Reform Bill In Jeopardy?

On 01.21.10, In Health Insurance, Public Health Care, Public Health Insurance Option, By Admin

Is the health insurance reform bill now supposed to be in it’s final composition is going to be derailed because of the Democrats lose the seat vacated by Ted Kennedy?

This is going to be very interesting as things are beginning to unravel for the Rock Star President! Most of the democrats are blaming Mr. Obama for the Dems losing that valuable seat and traditional Senate Seat.

But does it really tip the balance on how the health care reform bill will be pass or not? My personal view on this is that it is going to be difficult for the Republicans to derail the inevitable  passing  of the bill. Only time will tell!

The other question is the what is going to happen to the public health insurance option? Public health care is very much needed and they need to have that incorporated into the bill regardless or it is run by the government or not.

But with the democrats losing more seats to the Republicans, it will obviously become harder for the President to get his programs and plans to get favorable treatment from congress.

What they need with the health care reform bill is by-partisan passing so that it will have support from the people and will eventually become a more popular and accepted health care and one that really works for every American.

The Race To Get the Health Care Reform Bill Finanlize May Get Stalled

On 01.18.10, In Public Health Insurance, Public Health Insurance Option, By Admin

There are so many things that can happen and if they are going to happen, the Health Care reform Bill may stall. The reason for this is the special elections that are about to happen. These two seats in the senate can give the Republicans to to do some damage or may stall the final passing of the bill especially with a lot of people being unhappy with the government of Mr. Obama tilting to what they felt is Socialism.

There are two seats to that needs to be filled and the seat of the late Ted Kennedy which was suppose to be a no problem for the Democrats is not a big problem for them if they can their candidate to win. About two weeks ago the white house according to news suggest that they are in control but now they have doubts if they still win it.

This will be huge loss for the Dems if they cannot win the two seats as this are crucial to the passing of the health care reform bill.

And how about the public health insurance option? Is there any talk about it? I think it is almost dead but my guess is that somehow they will make it available to the more needy people.

I hope they will include a part of the bill where all Americans can have health insurance even at least a basic one. It would be great to have a more comparable health insurance to Canada and Australia.

Thanks

Bad Rap For Health Care Reform Bill

On 01.14.10, In Health Insurance, Private Health Insurance, Public Health Care, Public Health Insurance, Public Health Insurance Option, By Admin

There is a big rap going around on how the health care reform bill is being discuss on it’s final merging. The Obama government transparency is completely thrown off the window and the Public health insurance option which this writer really supports is now almost a foregone conclusion. Why? There are so many Americans who do not have their own  health insurance and they are are not expected to get as much coverage in the present form of the bill.

Who benefits from all of these supposed health reforms?

Is this for the big people of the health industry and the pharmaceutical companies lobbying feverishly to avoid the Public Health Insurance Option?

Shall we all get private health insurance? Too bad!

This is a shame as All Americans should have health coverage just like the citizens of Canada of some other industrialized countries in the world.

How can America proudly say the world Leader and but cannot provide health insurance for 47 million of its own people?

This is not a good impression from anyone and people in the third world can think that they have their counterparts in the US…..What A Shame!!!

Your comments is highly appreciated….

Thanks

Preparing For the Health Care Reform Bill

On 01.11.10, In Health Insurance, Public Health Care, Public Health Insurance Option, By Admin

The antagonists and protagonist are preparing for a big fight for the approval of the Health Care Reform Bill which they are going debate for final passage. And for the Public Health Insurance Option, it is almost dead or does it? To some congressmen in the lower legislature are still hopeful they can squeeze the public option which will be run by the government. Public health care should be encourage and be included in the final bill.

The problem with the public health insurance option is that too many Americans are opposed to it. They do not like it but the argument is really not helpful as most of these lawmakers who oppose the public health care option are those that are probably gotten to the big pharmaceutical lobbyists echoing the same sentiment.

I just hope that these million dollar lobbyists will be controlled and do not have the controls over these lawmakers.

The fact of the matter is, there are so many people who doesn’t have health insurance and without the public option they will never get any health insurance even the basic ones.

While lawmakers in both the lower and the upper house are preparing for the final spar, it has to encourage that did should include some form of health insurance for the poor. After all, it’s the poor people are who are suffering in all of these.

Thanks

Obama’s Transparency and Open Government on Health Care Reform-Tossed!

On 01.07.10, In Health Insurance, Public Health Insurance Option, By Admin

What happened to Mr. Obama’s promise of government transparency and open government!? The health care reform bill is now being discuss and has to be merge but everything  is being done in closed doors. Wow! What a year makes. Last year he vow that he the President of the US will be transparent and he promised this too during his campaign. Was those promise an empty lie? Were they deliberately done to win the elections as many people are clamoring for Government Openness?  I hope not.

But is very evident these days that we are not hearing the real story and what is going on with the public health insurance option and the whole of the bill regarding health care reform. So does anyone except from the few congressmen and senators involved  know anything on who gets what?

It’s funny how this bill is manipulated by the very people whom the people put to the legislature to voice their rights and privileges and now being sold. Remember that vote buying in the senate so the bill will pass? Giving those perks to senators Nelson and few of those asking for a huge chunk of money for their vote?

It is a shame that Obama always said “Not In My Watch”!!!…. Not in his watch that  things are being done behind closed doors??? Not in his watch that the health care reform will be done in secrecy? What happened to the promise,  Mr. Obama?

Putting in perspective what this is all about is not hard. With the public health insurance option being proposed the the liberal democrats now being shoved to nowhere land, they are the only stumbling block to passing this health care reform. So they can easily get this done through closed doors so that no one really knows what is going on and they simply ship this back to the Senate for final approval.

So what will this new and merge health care reform will look like? Nobody knows until one or two or the Powers that be will come out in open and say” Everything is Done!”

So all we need to do is wait and see and feel for ourselves what they want to let us know and follow. Is that how democracy works? Well, after all this I am not a politician neither the Powerful, just your ordinary man.

How about private health care system? Does this mean that the private sector who are offering this health insurance or health care right now are going to suffer?

Thanks

Vote Buying To Pass Health Care Reform In Senate

On 12.21.09, In Public Health Care, By Admin

There is so much vote buying going around the Senate just to pass or to get a few of their colleagues to be in favor of the Health Care Reform Bill. Yes! it did pass by 60 to 40 votes and there is a reason to celebrate because this has never been done by the past 6 US presidents. But vote buying? This is appalling to me. There has always been the backroom deals but never heard of anything in this magnitude or proportions. Giving these Senators hundreds of millions to thee pet projects is totally unacceptable. With no public health insurance option totally strip in the Senate and it’s still favored in the lower house, I just don’t see how this is going pan out.

For a layman like me, it is very hard to comprehend how the magnitude on how far they go just to get these votes even it is so unpopular to masses. How can a trusted lawmaker stomach that kind of deals or bribery? is there anything ethical or morally right these days or simply these words are just writing on the encyclopedia?

A 100 million for the lawmaker from Louisiana so they can secure her vote! Compromise on how to tax other health services such increasing one and the getting rid of the other just to satisfy the request for a senators State. Public health care should be given to every American citizen but not at this expense.

The Health Care Reform bill has gone too far and has disregard the very foundation of what the US pres. profess to do. Clean and transparent government and upholding ethical and moral values.

Can any one step in and say “with TEETH” this has gone too far and has to Stop!???

Good Luck America!

Senate Democrats Have the Numbers For Health Care/Insurance Reform

On 12.20.09, In Health Insurance, Public Health Care, Public Health Insurance Option, By Admin

Now the Senate democrats have the number to push the Health Care Reform bill to pass before the Christmas timetable. Senator Ben Nelson who was a hold out and wanted some more changes to abortion part of the bill got his wishes. So now they have the Magic 60 votes to get through Senate. The remains if the public health insurance option would still be an option. Or did they change the wording on it and would still have the public health care option?

This is Big Win for Pres Obama who has been the main supporter and or probably the author of this bill in essence. Whether we will see the public health insurance option or not the passage of the Health Care Reform bill is almost a done deal!

This is very great news to all democrats and Americans who were in favor of this health care reform but great sadness for those republicans and other Americans who thought that it will cut a lot of the services going to Medicare and left some seniors in serious trouble.

There are two sides to this and if this bill passes through it got to have the real value otherwise people would shouting on the streets for  a hush-hush health care reform.

The other question now is who are the winners and losers in all of this big debate and sometime personal debates between the Democrats and the Republicans?

Some of the health care insurer are going to be hit by this and some estimates has it some will close down and since the economy is very weak and still a working progress, companies closing down is the last thing you need to see.

Health Care Reform Bill Hanging On Thin Ice

On 12.17.09, In Public Health Care, Public Health Insurance Option, By Admin

With the news of Senator Ben Nelson not yet in favor of the health care reform bill, the Democrats badly needed his vote to make the 60 votes needed to prevent the filibuster from the Republicans.

Sen. Ben Nelson withheld his vote because he needed to see more stricter rules on abortion and unless it is modified he is withholding his vote. This bill is fully supported by Pres. Obama.

The problem of democrats to get this done before Christmas become unrealistic when when Sen. Olympia Snowe said after a meeting with the President that the timetable given is “totally unrealistic” According to the AP Associated Press news from yahoo news online.

This has put any chance of getting some form of publicly funded public health insurance option for people who cannot afford it. With the strong lobbying by big insurance companies for the bill not to pass has makes things worse for the President and the Democrats who have tabled this bill.

Without the public health insurance option or public health care option on the table or on the bill, it will be hard for those 47 million or whatever the number is, to get any decent type or form of health insurance.

This will most likely not going to pass the Senate floor before the Christmas timetable that Pres. Obama has said.

I just hope that these Senators will have some kind of a compromise to this historical health reform bill so that Americans can get what they deserve.

Thanks

Do You Like to Share Your Personal Health Information

On 11.29.09, In Health Insurance, By Admin

Your health information is being gathered by third party companies who then use this to evaluate the health issues of company/employers to save more on their employee premiums. But how do they do this? It is very scary to give any information that may have your health personal information as it can land in the wrong hands.

The idea of gathering all your personal health information is good. It will help your employer assess the health needs and risk that their employers has and try to educate them on how they can prevent or minimize the effects of such illness or health issues. Most of these employees are given something like 25 to 80 questions.

This information collected will then be used to identify health issues of these employees and give these companies the needed information to deal such health issues that their employees are having. But accordingly, rest assured that your employer will never know about the individual employee as they only give the evaluation for the entire staff and will not pin point as to who suffer from what.

This information will never reach the hands of your insurer or company or your immediate manager. These will not affect your life insurance or health insurance as it will never get to them. Not unless some thieves get into these databases and stole and sell it to insurers. But that is not point of this exercise or good assessments.

It is intended to lower health premiums that these companies pay to the insurer or insurance companies. This will be use to make the working environment more healthy and encourage better healthy diets and programs in order to keep their employees in good shape and be more productive.

Dismantle the Health Care System in Canada – Palin

On 11.26.09, In Public Health Care, By Admin

I do not know why Sarah Palin would suggest to Canadians to dismantle one if not the best health care system in the world. Canadian health care system is great for most people who cannot afford the stiff price of going to see your doctor or any major operations. I think she envy the Canadian system of health care and cannot think of any strategy to make things work in the US better. Sarah Palin! Keep out of Canadian Health Care system and concentrate on doing something more fruitful and constructive efforts to help your fellow Americans.

I know for a fact that you are just beginning to enjoy your media star status courtesy of CNN and other politicians who are just eking you to do more but honest believe you are not worth to be the next president of the United State. But you are a big marketing tool for people who wanted to on the forefront of the news.

The US health care system is really in bad shape and you need to give more constructive criticism to improve your health care system. It desperately needs some reform and the best thing Sarah Palin can do is be helpful. But what can I say, she is a politician afterall….
