It’s not even close.
With the passing of every week, bit by bit, more Americans are being covered. Or not kicked off of the roles. Or getting some financial relief.
Of course there will be many who do not make the connection that they have HC or can afford it now due to the efforts of the Dems, but surely some will.
Kaiser isn’t exactly an amateur in tracking health trends, either.
…just raised my rates because of this travesty.
The whole law and the way it came to be just stink.
I sincerely hope the Dems continue to underestimate the amount of anger about the HC law and its effect on elections.
Because of the legislation? or realistically, because kaiser raises rates every chance they get.
Is that John and little Johnny Boehner ?
They may have raised your rates but I doubt they told you anything, let alone that it was because of health care reform. Why have they been raising your rates prior to that?
http://economix.blogs.nytimes….
but at least this Health care reform is a start.
is that nothing has changed. The Dems cleverly structured the bill so that nothing will happen until after 2012, when they think Obama will be re-elected.
Uh, there’s this thing called The Google, and…
Effective September 23, 2010
* Dependent children will be permitted to remain on their parents’ insurance plan until their 26th birthday.
* Insurers are prohibited from excluding pre-existing medical conditions (except in grandfathered individual health insurance plans) for children under the age of 19.
* Insurers are prohibited from charging co-payments or deductibles for Level A or Level B preventive care and medical screenings on all new insurance plans.
* Individuals affected by the Medicare Part D coverage gap will receive a $250 rebate, and 50% of the gap will be eliminated in 2011. The gap will be eliminated by 2020.
* Insurers’ abilities to enforce annual spending caps will be restricted, and completely prohibited by 2014.
* Insurers are prohibited from dropping policyholders when they get sick.
* Insurers are required to reveal details about administrative and executive expenditures.
* Insurers are required to implement an appeals process for coverage determination and claims on all new plans.
* Indoor tanning services are subjected to a 10% service tax.
* Enhanced methods of fraud detection are implemented.
* Medicare is expanded to small, rural hospitals and facilities.
* Non-profit Blue Cross insurers are required to maintain a loss ratio (money spent on procedures over money incoming) of 85% or higher to take advantage of IRS tax benefits.
* Companies which provide early retiree benefits for individuals aged 55-64 are eligible to participate in a temporary program which reduces premium costs.
* A new website installed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services will provide consumer insurance information for individuals and small businesses in all states.
* A temporary credit program is established to encourage private investment in new therapies for disease treatment and prevention.
So, please go ahead and campaign that you want to repeal this law, and give health care companies the right to void your health insurance because of an unrelated illness you failed to disclose while filling out some forms….
Without even bothering to do Teh Google before spitting up some right-winger talking point???
Shocking.
To anyone who’s insurance has ever been in doubt (obviously a hardship you’ve never contemplated), this IS big stuff.
I didn’t say nothing.
I wish there was a way to suspend liars and those reckless with the facts. Even when they call them rounding errors.
Obviously, I meant “nothing that affects most people’s daily lives”.
Since you seldom mean what you say once called on it.
I feel for you, man, I really do. Lord.
Whatever, I’m not a liberal. I don’t have to play the victim.
who calls himself ClubTwitty.
who judges a name without knowing what it’s in reference to. Hint: CT revealed it in a diary that was all about how we got our names.
Reading diaries is for losers.
Why read when you can post?
even though CT spelled it out. That kind of humor doesn’t resonate with the boy.
I also pity the fool who is so pretentious as to take the name Aristotle.
I explained how I got stuck with this handle on that same diary.
You can’t fool me, beej. You never would have said that about CT if you knew.
Biguardian is like spitting into a perpetual fart.
Glad to see you back to your vile old self, Steve. I missed your tantrums for a few days there.
you are making progress BJ.
“cynical, sinister, evil-plotting Dems”. 🙂
Our sinister plot to make the world a better place has been exposed!
Especially the death panels and the 16,500 newly hired, armed IRS agents.
Keep the parts about ids getting to stay on mom and dad’s coverage, keep the part that added ten years to the actuarial solvency of Medicare, keep the part about pre-existing conditions not being a bar to coverage.
Keep the other good parts- but repeal the death panels and the IRS agents.
But what about the egos?
the parts that were never in there?
Ok, done and done.
Have a good afternoon, (and you’re welcome).
