Would Republicans Rush to Repeal Health Law If They Could Make It Stick?

I am 53 yrs old and on medical leave from my current job since July of 2010. Currently have a low cost insurance plan. Company requires us to pay for service we would like covered under medical plan. They seam to have restrictions on what can be spent on services, and amount of time one can see doctor ect. and, learning left with bills due to this problem. We all need health insurance, with grantee bills will be paided. There were many years had no health insurance, wish it could of happened. Now that I got something, it is better then being with out no help. The presedent did a good thing by helping amricans get health insurance. The republicans only want to demolish what is good for american people. cost of people having health insurance on a job, costig people jobs, why isn't ecconomy in worst shape at this ime. People I don't beleave are afraid to hire you. The problem has a lot to cost of economics of country, and price to get goods and services. People are cutting back on spending, then it stands reason why economy is in bad shape. Even though I have low cost policy for health coverage, service cost should be listed better to accomade employee. The way you explain benifit should be broken down to help consumer understand company benift. The company offers benifits then one should be offered chance to use it and get best benifit out of service. When every one is mandated to have health insurance in 2014, it will become an issue cost of palans become more affordable. I do beleave things will change, since everyone needs service.

Please be informed; Medicare is not free. Medicare A pays for most the costs of hospital but is has a copay; Medicare B costs over $100 a month and covers the Doctors, tests and equipment at 80 % (which sounds good until you realize most Social Security recipients gets less than $900 a month) and Medicare D covers medication but also has a premium and and copay of up to 25 %.

Have you kmills1019 gotten any quotes on health Insurance? Apparently you have not. I got over 100 quotes on my daughter in law and her son. Do you know what the cost would be on the mother who does not now have any insurance?
Try 250.00 per month,yes resonable, but then you look at the deductible and guess what it is 10,00.00 before insurance pays and then it is 80/20. For smaller deductions like 5000.00, it is 600.00 per month. Now you tell me how people without any insurance and working must get health insurance, how can they afford it. One leading Democrate said "We must pass this Health Care Bill, to know what is in it." Now that is putting the cart before the horse.

Just look at how many times you pay for health insurance. Everything you purchase has workmens comp cost built in, your homeowners, your car insurance has an extra charge for health care!
All of these are offered on a for profit basis, the added cost quickly compounds.
If everyone had taxpayer funded health care with nasty safeguards built in for abuse it would free up economic growth.
If your employer was not expected to carry your heath care coverage and gave you half of the cost in salary, $600.00 monthly, and kept the other half wouldn't that be cool?
Even the people on welfare, unemployment and social security would have to contribute.
If you show up at the emergency room with and ingrown toenail or something that could be handled routinely, you just get sent home.

The more people that pay the better.

Alan: You are misinformed. The Bill does NOT provide healthcare for "illegals". Section 246 on page 143 of the Healthcare Bill states: "Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States." Furthermore, U.S. Law, independent of the bill, prohibits illegal aliens from participating in government healthcare programs. You Conservatives want this bill scrapped -- for reasons that don't exist.

"Things we all know must happen"? In what world does this women live, where the only options that are acceptable are the ones the government tells you are? little selfserving venal minds that had serious trouble graduating highschool who ignore all posibilities, except the one that suits their immediate situation and makes life easier for them, reguardless of what impact it has on others!Perhaps the real solution, too lowering the cost of medical care, is abolishing insurance completely!It's called free market!forcing everyone to purchase health insurance, so that you can do away with the high costs of insuring pre-existing conditions, is nothing more that legalized theft! I was not put upon this earth to dictate to , or take care of you! How is it that you feel you were born to do it to me?I dont care if you are in a majority, that does not make you right!If it means war, then you've got it! Or perhaps we should just make further legislation that stipulates: Since everyone is paying for insurance, you can only have one child, and you have to go to the gym 4 days a week, or you cant eat twinkies, or you have to pass an IQ test to get a drivers liscence! How would you like that?

I hope they do! At least someone may read it. I could not believe that the congress passed such a large bill, that means so much to our country, without first reading it to see what is in it.

Everyone is missing one critical point about the WHOLE thing: It is the insurance industry itself that is raping this country of it's healtcare resources to please Wall Street. The health insurance industry should be not for profit. Imagine taking those extra BILLIONS in profits posted quarterly and applying that to cover the actual costs to deliver high quality health care and simultaneously reduce premiums to the consumer. Wouldn't we all be better off? Investors on Wall Street can aways find other industries to profit from. Leave health care out of it. Seems like a no-brainer.

The Health Care Law Obama/Pelosi put together is aweful for the majority of Americans.

Government run Health Care has NEVER been a success.


As a small business owner......this will put many of us out of business.

I wish people would get it - the 40 million uninsured americans does NOT count illegals. As Americans we are always looking to blame some other group for our failures, We need to deal with Illegals in a humane way, but we also need to tell the republicans that HC reform is what we the people asked for when we elected our President.
