OK, which of the presidential candidates do you think REALLY has a viable health care plan?

The present Health Insurance is a scam perpetrated by the Health Insurance Lobby.
YOU ARE BETTER OFF PAYING CASH FOR YOUR HEALTH.
At one time medical doctors are up at arms against this Health Insurance Law because it does not provide the best possible medical care for the sick. The bigger chunk of the pie goes into the bureaucracy of the Health Insurance company. A smaller slice of the pie goes to the doctor.

All the $dollar$ cost the insured see are all inflated. The real cost of medical care are hidden from the public. Remember the cost of all health care is paid for by the insured as a group.
"Insurance companies use the term "adverse selection" to describe the tendency for only those who will benefit from insurance to buy it. Specifically when talking about health insurance, unhealthy people are more likely to purchase health insurance because they anticipate large medical bills. On the flip side, people who consider themselves to be reasonably healthy may decide that medical insurance is an unnecessary expense; if they see the doctor once a year and it costs $250, that’s much better than making monthly insurance payments of $400 (example figures)."

Health insurance is in business because more money is coming ($340B) in than is going out. In general that means the insured paid more money that the actual cost of health care. Period.

Bill Clinton was scared to confront. The industry is corrupt like mafia.
Check out the salaries CEO’s in this industry. Check out the scandals in health insurance companies. You will be shock with the scams they pull.

obama

Obama’s plan will actually work

None of the above – sorry but it’s true.

obama or clinton as far as health care stuff

Hillary.

Probably none of them…Every politican makes campaign promises in order to get elected. My advise, stay healthy.

None of them do. It’s all just vote-pandering and wishful thinking. There simply is no money to pay for such grandiose schemes. Whether it’s a good idea or not is just irrelevant if the fiscal means are non-existent.

What I want to know is why is it the government’s responsibility to provide health care? Show it to me in the constitution please.

Hillary Clinton.
Nothing more is needed to be said

Obama doesn’t plan on making health care mandatory, he plans on making it cheap and available to all. This avoids one of the bugbears the right has over UHC while laying the groundwork for future UHC. I doubt the US will ever adopt a "socialist" system, but rather have the government get involved in health care, to ensure that it is inexpensive and available to all.

Edit: Anyone who denies the Constitution is a living document in out in loonieville with Ron Paul and the gold standard.

I don’t think any health care plan will make it through Congress. It will be kicked back and forth so many times, so don’t expect your situation to change any time after the election.

I understand your predicament. So many Americans are in the same situation. But, there are really only two choices. Find employment with a HMO , or if you are near retirement, contact ARRP. You might also consider working as a teacher’s aide because you would be covered by the school district’s plan. But don’t give up. Keep searching online . Also, ask your current doctor’s office if they can steer you in a direction.

No one has a viable health plan. Even working for someone who does, does not work anymore. Even the corporations can’t afford it anymore.

The problem with health care is the double digit rate increase every year. It has priced the insurance at a level that is hard for small companies to pay. There are a lot of reasons for that increase. People live longer. There are not enough doctors and the ones that are there belong to huge medical groups that control spending. Malpractice suits raise insurance and more importantly increase the tests and the costs of processing to keep the suits down. Government regulations make the cost of running an insurance company so expensive that only a few can survive and they have to raise the costs. Obama has a plan to have a conference of all the parties that would discuss the issues on live television and then they would try to come up with a plan to reduce costs and get insurance to all people.
