Aetna? Blue Cross? United Health Care? Nope … Uncle Sam: According to the American Medical Association’s National Health Insurer Report Card for 2008, the government’s health plan, Medicare, denied medical……

Hello Thanks heaps for this indeed!… if anyone else has anything, it would be much appreciated. Great website Super Piano Links http://www.en.Grand-Pianos.org Enjoy!…

My reply:
Many schools have a student health plan that provides coverage for students. She needs to investigate options such as that.

“It sort of feels as if they’re playing for time to see if it bursts, to save them from doing anything.”

Even if that’s really true, does anyone seriously think that will never happen under Obamacare?

There is NO WAY this guy was denied health insurance on his wife’s plan due to a pre-existing condition. pre-existing condition issues do NOT apply to group (employer-based) insurance. They all have community rating and if he wasn’t able to go on his wife’s plan it was likely because it was past the open enrollment period (he’ll be able to enroll within the year).

The writers don’t understand the system. All they know is that they want to support the D’s and they want them to spend as much money as possible whether or not we have it.

On a bright note: Haiti has some very good hospital care and the prices are reasonable. Really, I am not kidding.

One conservative solution here is to provide tax deductions for the unreimbursed portion of ‘charity care’. If Medicaid only pays 40%, the doctor/clinic would get a 60% deduction for providing the care. This is THE missing check and balance against expanding government programs with low reimbursements.

Incentive 101 — If you want more of something (like providing charity care), give people a tax deduction for that activity and the marketplace will quickly take care of the problem without much fanfare.

You’d think conservatives who supposedly are for smaller government would promote these sorts of simple common sense solutions to getting more charity care — nope, doesn’t happen.

That is still going to artificially inflate the price of medicine. You can’t throw more subsidies at medicine and expect the price to go down.

Your plan will drive taxes up.

Being a resident of Orygun for the last 11 years, I have 1st hand knowledge of how inept the state insurance program is.
There was a money crunch(always is here, doesn’t get any bluer) in government programs back in ’01. Over night the state decided to reevaluate who is entitled to OHP and who isn’t. Senior citizens and singles for the most part were dropped, you’d never believe who was qualified though….how about your friendly illegal alien and families.
Oregon is a great example of what Obadeathcare will be like. If you think the money end(taxes, fines and costs) will be bad along with the reduction in covered services can you imagine what it will be like with 45% fewer Dr.s?

Of course government-run health care is a terrible idea. But there has to be something better than the current system.

Of course there’s plenty of room for improvement. Did you catch this link in Michelle’s blog entry above?

All one in the same.

Once again dems in the media and the congress so (correctly) count on the mind numbing stupidity of dem voters, who read this pap, drool on themselves, and nod in agreement at how horrible this Country is.

I thank the good Lord daily for giving me the brains, not to be brainwashed by the lying scumbags in the liberal media, and their slimy cousins in the Congress.

There’s a reason why the MSM are in trouble.

I always love the smug “I’m better than you are” ton of liberal columns in the New York Times — especially when they reveal the hypocrisy of the liberal writers, editors, and ownership of that once great newspaper. Take Nick……
