Tuesday, June 30. 2009President Obama's dirty little secret.
80% of the US population is satisfied with their current health care.
20% is not because they do not have any, or are not willing to buy any. If you believe the statement "If you like your current plan keep it....if you like your Dr you can keep them" This is one big smoke screen to herd the American public into the ObamaCare fence and once you are in you can't get out !! Private insurers cannot compete with a government plan. Why? Because the government reimburses what they want to the Dr's, hospitals, and drug companies. Meanwhile they mandate the insurance companies must pay a higher amount, must pay for this procedure, etc. The rules for the government will be way different than they are with private insurance now.

Just a few short months ago the talk was that health care reform is inevitable. Of course this was the way it was sold to us by the current administration but now the fine details are coming to the surface we are starting to see the fire go out.
Government plans say they can operate in a more efficient way which will drive down the costs. Many who watch the government and their inefficiency are a little more that skeptical about this. In fact Medicare often used as an example of how the government runs a health plan. However, a study published by the Pacific Research Institute finds that since 1970 Medicare's costs have risen 34% a year faster than the rest of health care. Efficiency? Where because I don;t see it. To read about this study and other click here: Government health care inefficiency Sunday, June 28. 2009What's next for "OTrama" Health Care
Last Wed we saw ABC broadcast an Obama, I mean "OTrama" infomercial on national health care. Opponents of this were NOT allowed to advertise during the "town hall meeting" AKA infomercial.
Is this a bipartisan effort? To see more on the infomercial outrage click here: Health Infomercial Saturday, June 27. 2009New health care term: Voluntarily Uninsured
We have all seen the numbers..........47 million uninsured Americans........it's a crisis.....a crisis........
Are we to believe that all 47 million uninsured Americans cannot afford to buy a policy or qualify for one? Recent reports have indicated that no this isn't the case and many could afford to buy a policy but choose to be "voluntarily uninsured". I would like to see a stat as to how many people that don't purchase health insurance have done any of the following recently: Purchased a new car instead of health insurance Smoke cigarettes instead of buying health insurance Drink alcohol instead of buying health insurance Take a vacation instead of buying health insurance This list could go on forever.......... I guess it's easier those to go without and expect to buy some only when you need it and complain that you can't get it then because you were too irresponsible to buy some before you got sick. Or maybe it's easier to just leave it up to the government to provide for us by the means they know best....write checks, print more money, and over tax us later when it blows up.

A few days ago it was announced that the drug manufactures and the Obama administration have come to some terms.
The drug companies say they will start to offer discounts to the elderly over the next 10 years. This however is a pebble in the ocean compared to what the real price tag will be. So why is everyone all excited about these potential cost savings from the pharmaceutical companies? It wouldn't have anything to do with the amount of lobbying money they spend would it?
