Thanks for the offer teko but think I will let it pass been there done that ......I am outnumbered on here ...lol
"Secondly, you said you chose the "high end" insurance policy because you didn't want to be stuck with hummungous medical bills -- if your policy falls into the category that is considered a "Cadillac policy", you will not only pay the higher price for the policy, but will pay tax on it, as well..
I give you teko's quote:
"By 2016 if you can afford to buy insurance and have not, a penalty of 2% of your income. And it is not punishable by jail. I think the first time you get penalized 1%, second 2% or something like that.".......Being that I already have benefits, I don't have to worry about the "tax" No?!

"That has nothing to do with anything. If the health care system in Mass was not a failure then Romney would be behind Obama's but he is not because it's a failure."
How is it a failure. This was Romney's plan and I thought it was actually a good thing for Mass...Now people qwho need coverage are covered.
"So being Obama was lower/middle class does that excuse his past drug use? His association with radicals?"
Drug use???.. Really?? He smoked pot in college. Who hasn't???? (well maybe not everyone but a mojority of people in Americas have either tried pot or do smoke it.)........Association with radicals???? Please, you're bringing it back to the garbage that the right spewed about him and nothing came out of it....Next!

The ACA is like the system in Canada and UK for several reasons. Don't have time to go into detail but look at the rates that will be paid to hospitals and Dr's.
Very well said.

Well, lets see now, where to start. First of all the care that they have in the UK or even in Canada is absolutely nothing like the ACA. The ACA is not universal or even single payor healthcare. It shows the amount of disinformation that is out there to even suggest it is. The well has been poisoned by those who have an agenda to do so. Nor is it government run as you will hear the polititians tell ya. Unless you consider your current insurance government run?
Secondly, pallative care is end of life care if Im not mistaken? One of the problems we have with the status quo is that when someone has gotten all the care that can be given in a terminal situation, it is customary to milk the system so to speak in order to get whatever monies that they can get from the persons insurance. Its not an issue with someone who doesnt have insurance because there is simply nothing to milk.
Case in point. Someone who has cancer, has had all the chemo and radiation they can do and the cancer is still going to kill that person. Pallative care is making that person as comfortable as they can in their end days and many times results in someone being "doped" out of their minds till they die. At this point decisions must be made and to keep throwing more chemo and radiation when its not doing anything is silly. And wasteful spending.
But saying the ACA has death panels is ridiculous. The death panels that exist in our current system is when someone who is very sick and has no inusrance are basically sent home to die when there are lifesaving and life extending measures one has no access to, due to lack of insurance. They stableize you and send you packin. If that is not a death wish I dont know what is.
Besides that I would challenge you to show me in the ACA, where these death panels are. Are you talking about those yearly consultations that are available to those who want counseling free of charge? I doubt you can do that as you probably do nothing more than listen to those who have an interest in you believing that. How about using that energy to get yourself educated about what the bill is and how it works instead of allowing yourself to be poisoned in your thinking.
Just a thought.
