Obama to explain health plan at 'town hall' meet (Obama begins trotting out "failed system victims")

Classic.
His “movement” has a lot in common with the ACORN movement.

Do these yahoos not understand how insurance works?

You may be the one who's confused. Under the current definition, "health care insurance" means "getting someone else to pay for your health care."

When you pack your audience with paid hacks and those that would follow you over a cliff... no one will have their minds changed and no one but your core believers will even watch. One fact has swept across this Nation amongst about 70% of the people... hussama is a LIAR and cannot be trusted ever.

The US president was to be introduced by Lori Hitchcock, 52, a self-employed widow who has been unable to get health insurance because she has Hepatitis C, a "preexisting condition" which many insurers use to deny patients coverage

Will Obama tell Lori that under his plan the government will tell her when she's no longer is going to get medical coverage for her Hepatitis C?

Everyone would agree she should be able to get health care coverage. Most everyone would agree the government shouldn't tell people they no longer have coverage.

Another scripted, limited access charade by the teleprompter reader. Inventor-salesman Ron Popiel’s half hour infomercials for knife sets, vegetable choppers and rotisseries (set it and forget it) will seem spontaneous and unrehearsed by comparison.

Here's hoping some of the spirit of “Live free or die” manages to assert itself today.

Psssssst... osama has no health care bill... he has not written or proposed any bill... he backs 1000% a dim written and union written bill... and the bill that exists does every little horrible thing that hussein says it will not do.

Trotting out democrat activists is not exactly a winning plan.

When will we get to see the old lady who collects cans alongside the highway.

The woman and son who live in their car.

The list goes on. Fake victims are part of the dem DNA

I would assume she lives in New Hampshire or she will be bussed in from another state for Obamabots.

Check out post #9

If this is the same person, she can afford her own insurance. I am not paying for it!

[LibLieSlayer]

I carry a 2500.00 annual deductible to keep my insurance affordable. This 500.00 deductible was chosen because it added major to the amount. A 2500.00 deductible would reduce her bill to about 330.00 a month... for medical coverage for two.

By that logic, if I wreck my car, I should be able to buy insurance so I don’t have to pay for the damage?

From the site:

A newborn baby is checked at a clinic for people with no medical insurance

Does anyone see anything wrong with this? The stupidity of these people is enough to make me want to scream.

New Hampshire uses managed care as its method of service delivery, and runs special initiatives for medically needy. With a method of capitated payment that comes from managed care, no freaking way is this woman going to be charged a $750 cost-sharing.

As for pre-existing conditions, she needs to only be without insurance for 3 months before her State plan will cover her.

Its not Hep that is keeping her from being eligible.....its her income (if like you said, its the same person).

Liars, all of them.

My state (most I think have) a pool..

Yes, NCHIP, the Nebraska Comprehensive Health Insurance Pool. 2/3 of the States have such a safety-valve to keep premiums low.

You then go into this pool that gives you insurance..yes the premium is high but everyone can get something....

I'll bet the premium is not that much higher as the cash reserve of the pool is subsidized. The NCHIP premium for the chronically ill is probably less than that for the average healthy person in the Northeast States.

A whole lot cheaper and better than changing the system for the other 85% of us...

Once again, I think it's better than that...probably closer to 99% of the insured are mostly healthy with occasional needs (about $2000 per year on the average)

The remaining 1% are the guaranteed $100,000 per year claims people.

Maybe he is scrapping it to be at the sides of the Kennedys.

The only “movement” I think of when it comes to the Obama administration concerns my bowels.

[vg0va3]

What is HIS health care plan? Can someone seriously tell me?

[Sparko]

You get the prize. Ruprecht stars in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. He has a few problems.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

A state health care program would cost her 750 dollars a month with a 500 dollar deductible,

That is possible. I think they are referring to a private health insurance policy, subject to the particular state's insurance regulations. Unless it's some Dirigo-like debacle.

Show me what state this woman lives in...

My bet, New Jersey, worst premiums in the US.

What is HIS health care plan?

Attend a Benny Hinn meeting.
