Health Care Myth: Disabled Will Be Treated Differently

Linda Douglass of the White House Office of Health Reform answers a question from outside the recent town hall in New Hampshire on why a specific section of the House legislation (section 1177) puts off care for the disable pending "further study." This is a myth: for the disabled or their families, they can keep whatever care and coverage they currently have, but they will have additional options through Medicare for other voluntary programs. To the contrary, reform will make insurance more affordable, provide more options, and eliminate discrimination in purchasing health insurance so families won't be turned down if a parent or child has a pre-existing disability or other health condition.

(Laughing) You missed my point about the postal service. It's billions in red ink. SSI will be dead and gone before any of the youth of today reaches 65. More than likely long before they even reach 45. Point is, the Gov has proven over and over again it cannot run anything without going into massive debt. Same will happen with healthcare

[BillionYears]

ObamaCare will ration care extensively. Obamas own words of cutting inefficiencies and reducing costs translates to less care, of lower quality, for the elderly. If a hospital gets less money for a CAT Scan or MRI, it will need to do less of them. If a surgeon gets paid less for a heart bypass on a Medicare patient, hell perform them more rarely. Lets not forget just how great the Gov has run Medicare, SSI, the postal service, and the like. Yea, lets hand them our healthcare too.

Nice. And vile. And to top it off now you are God deciding who will go to hell. My Bible says no one with hate in their heart will enter into heaven. Your last comment was nothing but hate and vile. And you are telling ME to enjoy hell?

I really hope no young children run across your vulgar and discussing words. But if there are any children reading this, just know that some grown ups don't know how to control themselves, and "whovian1971" is a perfect example of this.

I'm tired talking to your worthless, subhuman cunt ass!

[whovian1971]

I will not waste anymore time with someone who has buried their common sense

Stop being a brainless little cunt ass and maybe we could talk! ENJOY HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[BillionYears]

Exactly. The gov ran it from the beginning and nor look at it. The post office is in serious trouble, Social Security is bankrupt. Both run by the gov. You made my point for me this time. He who laughs last laughs the loudest. I will not waste anymore time with someone who has buried their common sense. Wake up, see truth, stop being a damn sheep

They will not make such a mistake, i can guarantee you this.

[whovian1971]

[whovian1971]
