Oh the irony. Someone won't get Obama healthcare unless they prove CITIZENSHIP. Oh the irony. The question, as we all know, arises from the Wilson "You lie" outburst, and the core claim that notwithstanding specific bill language barring illegal immigrants from participating in the "exchange," as a practical matter, there is no way of verifying the citizenship of applicants -- which is the current state of play.

Did you write all of these points yourself just to post on this thread? Please at least start a new thread as a vanity around your post so people can comment and add to it. It’s a very good summary of many facets of this disastrous fiasco that surrounds us...
I find it very interesting that they are going to allow private insurance companies to continue to exist, but they are going to force changes to their business practices by making companies drop caps and pre-existing conditions.
My guess is that private carriers currently have caps and restrictions against pre-existing conditions because they could not continue to remain in business bled dry by runaway costs.
The government merely wants to add competition to the market, but mortally wounds the private insurance companies (using force the government wields at ultimately the point of a gun) to ensure their failure.
From one perspective the plan has moments of pure brilliance in its subversion and misdirection, but that is just cover for the real truth that will ultimately devastate the US economy, and worse, Freedom. Tell me again how this is Constitutional?
And you thought the Central Bank was bad news...
Congressman Conrad (member of “Gang of 10”) was saying they were working on adding language to the bill that would require the use social security numbers to verify citizenship yesterday:

Of course this is all in the wake of Wilson’s outburst.
I'm so set back at the string of blatant lies being told by this group of individuals. Even more jaw-dropping is how obama supporters breeze right over these HUGE and detrimental lies without even giving it a thought.
As you can see, most of my points are in regards to coverage for illegals, which is the topic of this thread.
I know, sometimes by mind wanders and I did get off topic a bit on a couple of points, but eventually it all bleeds together relating to this entire mess.
The real message is being cloaked by claims of creating competition in the market, just as you said. How can any real conservative stand up and say "I am opposed" when it comes to free market competition? We do live by the live and let die philosophy when it comes to such ideals in economics. Difference is, the competition will be injected into the market with subsidized funds using tax money stolen from a population that wants nothing to do with it. We have laws that prohibit this kind of business practice, it's called dumping in the private market. Many companies have paid a high price in fines for getting caught doing this even on a small scale with intent to cripple their competitors. When said company is the federal government who isn't even planning on making a profit, the risk factor goes up dramatically for the private businesses who will be trying to compete with it.
The entire goal of these laws is to stop the guy with the biggest cash pot from wiping out competition in the market which leads to zero choice for the consumer, not these vast pools of options to choose from as the president keeps trying to sell to us.
... so this is what it boils down to in the end. this president and the crazy leftists he calls his minions are grabbing for control. I can think of no other reason for the behavior patters I see. They do not believe in free market principles and they honestly think they ca somehow run our core businesses better than the private sector.
I still think you should post your thoughts as a vanity post. You make good arguments and we need good arguments these days...
What we need to build outside/attached to ERooms are satelitte clinics to siphon off those NOT in need of ER treatments. Triage them & make them wait until they can be seen but leave the ER ready for true emergencies
ping for later
Gotta love it,I wonder if Zero will now be forced to show his BC as well....
That means anyone who now has insurance in order to keep what they have will have to pay for what they already have plus the new creation.
Few can afford to do both.
This plan is founded on the fundamental ignorance of how businesses work and what they provide to this Nation by a significant portion of our population. Without that critical ignorance, this plan would have never even been attempted...
(Annndddd.... Maybe a few other things would not have happened)
