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.

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

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

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….

Public Health Care Option Vote In

On 11.08.09, In Health Insurance, Public Health Care, Public Health Insurance Option, By Admin

Now the Public Health Care Option vote is finally in! The Bill is Passed!!!! the yea is 220 votes and the nays is 215!

Just 5 votes differential…. Give your opinion and voice as what does this means…

Does it really matter big time? and will this really hold for the long haul? this public option health care might not be good in the long run as the government may be cash strapped to maintain and sustain such a huge government spending. Will this kill all those private health care providers who are part of the engine of the economy?

There are too many questions about how this public health insurance option will work.

The pros and cons of this debate needs more attention than ever!

The far right is saying or contending that if the public option health care run by the government, it will become in direct competition with the private sector and thus kill this health insurance companies. But does this really going to happen?

And the far left is saying that this can get rid of all the bad or devilish practices being done by the private health insurance companies and will put a stop to this bad practices.

To get  a better understanding of how this whole health care run by government, we need to know the details on how they pal to run it and how the financing will of this government run health care program.

But the problem is there is nothing said or written about how they plan to make this work and running.

Vote For the Public Option Is Going On Now!

On 11.08.09, In Health Insurance, Public Health Care, Public Health Insurance, Public Health Insurance Option, By Admin

The US congress is in session now and will be finish voting soon and we will know if the bill passes the first acid test. There are still some democrats who are expected not to vote in favor of the bill so it is not certain yet if its going to go through or not. This public health care option or what is called public health insurance option to some will soon get a vote if its going forward or would stop on its track.

There has been so many changes and amendments to the original bill just it can pass the Congress but still too many lawmakers are worried about “Too Big Government” and it will just become a crown Jewel of of Government infusion of taxpayers money! Public option is good on paper but we do not have a clear understanding as what is going to happen when the feds start spending billions or trillions of dollars to sustain and maintain this insurance service.

But that is not up to my opinion or some people’s opinion because it is now in the hands of the lawmakers who will decide if it’s going to become a law or not.
