I heard the features of the proposed bill today and sad to say it was more of the same. Incidentally, Senator Boxer may have confused Viagra which makes couples happy with Prozac which sometimes can be a downer. There is nothing joyous about the Democratic Party continuously trying to side step us into the public option and then Socialized medicine. Nobody can fool the American people. There
are 80% and climbing that say no nothing, we will fix it. Obviously with our President pushing and a Democratic Congress this is unrealistic however savored that it is. We can "wall off" a public option by not hitting the private insurers over the head to cause them to leave town like lonesome cowboys.Then do an up to the minute review of who exactly qualifies for public insurance. I have yet to hear two politicians offer the same accounting.The gargantuan number and majority of Americans will be life as usual. The public plan would be walled off to the uninsured. Requirements for getting into the public plan would be a documented process as is SSI or disability is. but evaluated to the letter. Companies would have to permanently close in order for any employees to be shifted from private to public.The underlying mission of the proponents is to create a mad flight to so-called safety and into the public arena. By allowing credible individuals to get in who are properly checked and screened, we avoid the vast number of satisfied insured from seeing our system colllapse and evolve into this single payer with unknown repercussions. I volunteer to pay for this with higher taxes and so will every other American that has actually worked to earn sound medical care. We must not be misled by any bill that starts out nice and ends up with all of us in a catastrophic meltdown that will disable our fine medical system as we know it. A plan as I have outlined above will paint the Democrats into a corner because it will completely insure the uninsured which they seem to highlight every time we hear from them. What they really want is to dismantle the entire system by causing the private insurers to give up and create the shifting that greedy employers would want. The suggestion above gives them what they plead for and disables the overall mission because the Left cannot really admit then that they wanted more territory. Reasearch and developemnt and maybe cures will blossom.
