America's Affordable Health Choices Act Introduced

Today, House Democratic leaders introduced the America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. The three panels with jurisdiction over health policy in the House have been working together as one committee to develop a single bill that fulfills President Obama's goals of reducing health care costs, protecting and increasing consumers' choices, and guaranteeing access to quality, affordable health care for all Americans.

Heres what Americas Affordable Health Choices Act means for you:

LOWER COSTS
No more co-pays or deductibles for preventive care

No more rate increases for pre-existing conditions, gender, or occupation

An annual cap on your out-of-pocket expenses

Group rates of a national pool if you buy your own plan

Guaranteed, affordable oral, hearing, and vision care for your kids

GREATER CHOICE
Keep your doctor, and your current plan, if you like them

More choice, with a high quality public health insurance option competing with private insurers

HIGHER QUALITY
You and your doctors make health care decisions — not insurance companies

More family doctors and nurses will enter the workforce, helping guarantee access

Mental health care must be covered

STABILITY & PEACE OF MIND
No more coverage denials for pre-existing conditions

No more lifetime limits on how much insurance companies will pay

No reason to ever make a job or life decision again based on health care coverage

We must hold Congress fully responsible for this legislation. They promised:

- Greater choices

- Affordable plans

- Improved quality of care

- Doctor-patient decisions

- Full coverage for all

- Lower costs to taxpayers and businesses

"Holding down costs"

Ah, so I trust that includes reforms such as liberalizing HSAs, allowing people to purchase health coverage across state lines, tort reform, and medical licensing reform right? Oh, it doesn't? Silly me. You statist morons in Congress are living in a pipe dream.

This is the problem with America today. Its not just the entitlement mentality, its just this idea, this mythology that any problem can be solved if only the State steps in.

This is all about what's fair. Do you think some people deserve health care and some people don't? That's elitism. Everyone deserves health care!

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous,

We are oft to blame in this, Tis too much proved that with devotion's visage And pious action we do sugar o'er The devil himself.

Spare the Rod.

If you can't see what's wrong with health care in the US then you're fucking retarded. You don't represent the majority of Americans, your views are of a minority of idiotic, loud mouth morons.

There is nothing un-American with working to improve the health and well being of all Americans. That's far more patriotic than anything you've done I'm sure!

[Fadedflower37]

Nancy you are the most sickening of all traitors to this nation. The American people are sending you and you motley grew a clear signal that they do not want any part of your disgusting health care. You have no flipping clue what is in the bill because you and you loser ilk have not read it. You will not silent the People. We are redressing our grievances with you and you are too stupid or arrogant to understand this. You are the Un-American! We should report you for Fishy misinformation.
