Biden in Cross Hairs of the Partnership for America's Healthcare Future

[sagesnow]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the General Discussion forum).

“Unfortunately, Vice President Biden’s proposal for a new government insurance system through a ‘public option’ would undermine the progress our nation has made and ultimately lead our nation down the path of a one-size-fits-all health care system run by Washington. From driving up premiums in the private market, to threatening our nation’s already at-risk hospitals, to diminishing Americans’ access to the quality care they need, research warns that such an approach could be disastrous for patients and consumers.

The American Medical Association, BlueCross BlueShield and the Federation of American Hospitals are behind this PAC that is constantly buying ads on YouTube against Obamacare and single payer healthcare.
They also don't like Biden's plan to repair Obamacare."

1. When I only had BlueCross BlueShield

I was denied coverage on many of my doctors orders. Now on Medicare, I'm never denied coverage.
How about that?

2. All I know is other countries have healthcare.

So it’s all bullshit. The “reasons” we don’t.

After Notre Dame burned, billionaires raised billions to fix a building.

The money for healthcare is out there. It’s all bullshit.

3. If the fat cats can get a trillion dollar tax cut, we should be able to get an aspirin covered.

4. This is why we should just promote and

propose what is right in the first place.

Health should not be an opportunity for building astronomical wealth by corporations, financiers, venture capitalists, or executives. Yes, health practitioners do deserve a just salary and relative financial security and reward in return for their education investment, their professional skills, and commitment to serving people’s health needs. But astronomical profit-taking that makes it impossible for many people to access adequate health care, creates dire financial stress for others, or makes it economically impossible for virtually any universal health care system to work equitably for all — NO.

5. My surgeon is a MAGAt

I think many health Doctors and Hospital Administrators are MAGAts, mainly because they don't want the brakes put on the exorbitant fees they are able to charge.
