healthcare reform is a joke and a complete waste of time and money. period.
This health care reform bill is a joke. The fact that a president is forcing through legislation that has not been carefully thought out, simply to make good on his "promise" and fulfill his agenda is criminal. If ever a Bush hater commented on the war being criminal, they should comment on indiscriminate spending by an overzealous president.
A budget was not even constructed for this plan until the finance oversight committee was requested to construct the budget two weeks ago. Politicians were already ready to cast their votes without even knowing an estimated cost associated with this bill. These politicians that were about to vote on the bill without knowing the cost, should be drug out back and beat. They are simply not being responsible with taxpayer money. This is the portion that makes myself furious. Fuck the politicians, they have no problem fucking the public.
Health care reform is not a joke. In a litigious society, doctors have been sued ridiculous amounts for malpractice. As a result of these habits, malpractice insurance is through the roof.
Drug companies have a corner on the market and charge insane premiums because of supply and demand.
Insurance companies charge insane premiums because of the above two factors.
A change to the system needs to be made, the problem is that the changes that need to be made, are not the changes that are being discussed.
Rather than acknowledging that certain individuals in society will not be covered, unless the rest of society picks up the tab, and working to better programs for the majority of people, the current health care reform will be a costly failure. This plan is aimed at being all things to all people. Any success company knows they cannot be all things to all people. We should not need to cater to those that cannot find themselves gainful employment and find themselves without coverage.
The overall plan should be to take care of the masses at a moderate cost as opposed to covering all of society at absorbent costs.
