Individual Mandate Under Health Care Reform — Go Health Insurance
Learn about the individual mandate established by health care reform at GoHealthInsurance.com.
One question Ive not heard discussed about Healthcare reform (i.e. Obama care)?
What if an individual doesnt believe in western medicine, will they potentially be required to purchase insurance or be fined if they dont if it goes against their religious/ spiritual/ individual beliefs? We have the right to religious freedom, correct? we can believe in whatever we choose even if its not widely accepted--in aliens or vampires: creationism or Satanic verse...
Like Christian Scientists, who feel their belief in and relationship with God controls their health and theres nothing a doctor can do to cure them because they gotta pray their ills away.
Germ theory after all is just a theory and if its fine for some folks to question the theory of evolution or question climate change theories, so why cant some question germ theory and modern medical practices in our society where freedom to believe is such a huge issue for many.
I am all for a single payer heath coverage system. Lets all chip in to make sure those a little less well off can still get care and no one has to make life/death/heath decisions based on affordability. If some dont think modern hospitals and doctors are for them are they not free to hold those beliefs even if it die because of it. IDK this whole heath care thing is a huge corporate quagmire why should I shell out tens of thousands of dollars a year to a Corporation because of a government mandate, frankly Id rather pay that in taxes so my fellow citizens can be well before another CEO makes another million...
Yeah I know the courts are looking into the constitutionality of the bill but thats based on Commerce i.e. the government cant make anyone buy a product. Thats the only argument Ive heard. However, the heart of my question, is that in making anyone (potentially) buy this insurance product(s) are they restricting my religious freedom to believe whatever my faith holds. Western medicine (basically based on the theory that germs make people sick) isnt universally accepted and some Religions refute medical doctrine and are thus successfully (or not) treated by "faith healers" and that gets to my point of true religious freedom here in america.
Answer: Yes, purchase a government approved health care plan or pay a fine. The Amish were excluded since they pay of their medical debts immediately.

Why are so many people against Health Care Reform?
All it is doing is making sure the 50 million other Americans who dont have health insurance can recieve it and make Health Insurance companies and the such be honest and fair with their clients. Why are people against that? Its not socialism. In fact, only 55% of our countrys economy is in the private sector, making the other half government and state government run. So we already have government runned businesses.
The Public Option is exactly what its called; AN OPTION! Its not mandated that you recieve this government runned health insurance, its just out there for those who need cheap , but quality health care. And dont even get me started about the rediculous Death Panel bull because Sarah Palin COMPLETELY doesnt get the fact that insurance companies have been deciding who lives and who dies for the past 30 years! Doing exactly what Sarah Palin is so against BUT FOR A PROFIT!
Doesnt the fact that insurance companies have TWO lobbyist for EVERY person in Congress startle you or concern you at all? Dont throw that "Well the Government has the power to make things official, thats why they shouldnt be running health care" Oh please, companies can make things official, too. They can set up rules and polices and deny you coverage because guess what? THEY DO NOT HAVE TO SERVE TO YOU! They do so for a profit and if you dont want to be under them, they already have the next tom and jerry ready to step right up, proudly and recieve their dosage of unfairly high priced medicine.
Oh, but you say our debt will increase greatly and cause our children to take on the burden we gave them you say?? Want to know why we already are 12 trillion dollars in debt? Because some clueless cowboy named George Bush decided to declare two wars on two countries and not even realize we can afford shit like that.
Yes, I am against the Iraq War. No, I am not a anti-american Liberal whiner. Yes, this really is question with a hint of opinion.
So why are you against Health Care Reform if its SOLE purpose is to save lives, not fuck shit up?
To be very honest, I dont know a lot about this Health Care bill since its a 2,000 page bill. This "rant" was all from what I heard from NPR, my own research and other non-mainstream news outlets. I have actually heard from CNN that 60% of the country is actually in favor of the health care bill and, from what I remember hearing on NPR, abortion will not be covered in the bill.
Answer: The health Scare bill increases premiums for families and small businesses, raises taxes during a recession, cuts seniors' Medicare benefits, adds to our skyrocketing debt, and puts bureaucrats in charge of decisions that should be made by patients and doctors.
The bill also authorizes taxpayer-funded abortions, violating long-standing federal policy. It's no coincidence that the more the American people learn about this monstrosity, the more they oppose it.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, nailed the last votes down in a rush of dealmaking in the last week that is now coming under attack because of special provisions obtained by a number of senators. In Nebraska, home to conservative Democrat Ben Nelson, the Democrats' crucial 60th vote, the federal government will pay 100 percent of the cost of a planned Medicaid expansion in perpetuity, the only state getting that deal.
SO WHY THE BIG INEQUALITY? ONE STATE GETTING A MUCH BETTER DEAL...WHY?
HERE'S WHAT ONE CANADIAN WHO IS IN THE MEDICAL FIELD HAD TO SAY ABOUT THEIR MEDICAL CARE:
"I lived in a socialist medicine country (Canada)
There the employers pay premiums to the health care plan. If your employer does not pay, you have to pay. $80.00 a month for a single person every month. It is illegal NOT to have coverage. A small family of three pays about $100 a month.
But low income, welfare people pay nothing. They get everything free, abortions, drugs, needles for their heroin addiction, methadone, hospital stays. You name it, they get it courtesy of the health care plan. And boy do they use it. I have seen welfare people coming in to hospital with their suitcases packed and all their junk with them and all sorts of vague maladies. Turns out they got kicked out of their apartment and they need a place to stay until their check comes in. Doctor does not mind. That's how he makes his money.
The ER is plugged with welfare types coming in with sniffy noses, sore throats etc. Also the ones looking for free narcotics for their addictions.
Oops! Did I say free? It's not free. It costs the taxpayer zillions. So much they have to shut down ERs, increase surgical wait lists, not buy equipment etc. Why else do you think Canadians flock to the states for health care?""
...end of quote.
Can you visualize now what's going to happen when our US Health Scare system comes into force???

THE NATION: EARLY RETURNS; For Conservatives, Its Back to Basics
THE morning after the Republican drubbing in the midterm elections, Ken Mehlman, chairman of the party, headed to the weekly coalition meeting where limited government conservatives, Christian traditionalists and gun-rights groups gathered to plot strategy. He brought a message they were only too eager to hear. The election, he told the crowd at - Liberals are pronouncing end of 30-year rise of conservative movement after Republican drubbing in midterm elections; since election, voices from right have been distinguishing between conservative and Republican, blaming deviation from conservative principles for election losses; as conservatives vow to regroup and recommit, many acknowledge that path ahead is difficult; some conservatives insist midterm election was less about ideology than result of war in Iraq, which some now disavow; they argue that Republicans may have lost but their ideology did not and say that midterms turned both Republican and Democratic caucuses further to right (M) - By DAVID D.

What does Ralph Nader say about this?
Ralph sent this to me the other day check it out.
"If you listen to the Democrats, you would think that they were fighting on the side of the American people.
And against the health insurance companies.
Or as Howard Dean put it last week
"This is a vote about one thing: Are you for the insurance companies or are you for the American people?"
President Obama said that he and the Democrats had pushed back against the "special interests."
In fact, the bill that was passed by the House Sunday night was a result of a deal President Obama and the Democrats cut last year with the pharmaceutical industry.
And it was written with the help of former insurance industry lobbyists.
Or as the Washington Posts E.J. Dionne put it - the Democrats are fighting for a Republican health plan.
Last year, former CIGNA executive turned whistleblower Wendell Potter called the bill "a joke" and "an absolute gift to the insurance industry."
Dr. Margaret Flowers of Physicians for a National Health Program called the bill "a step backwards."
"This bill further enriches the industries that are the problem," Dr. Flowers said.
Chris Hedges put it this way:
"This bill is not about fiscal responsibility or the common good."
"The bill is about increasing corporate profit at taxpayer expense," Hedges wrote.
"It lavishes hundreds of billions in government subsidies on insurance and drug companies."
"The some 3,000 (corporate) lobbyists in Washington, whose dirty little hands are all over the bill, have once more betrayed the American people for money."
"The bill is another example of why change will never come from within the Democratic Party. The party is owned and managed by corporations."
"What is the point in supporting any of the Democrats?" Hedges asked. "How much more craven can they get?"
For the past year, all around the country, Single Payer Action has been confronting and exposing the craven corporate Democrats.
Just last week, Single Payer Action directly confronted Howard Dean on Capitol Hill about Deans lobbying for his biotech industry clients - lobbying that resulted in a multi-billion dollar patent windfall tucked neatly into the health care bill that Congress just passed.
And Single Payer Action will continue to expose, confront, agitate and organize for single payer Medicare for all.
Why?
Because as Dr. Marcia Angell - former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine - puts it - single payer is the only health care reform that covers everyone and controls costs.
Because most of the health insurance coverage mandated by the Democratic bill does not come into effect until 2014 - by which time 180,000 Americans will have died because they were unable to afford health insurance to cover treatment and diagnosis, according to Harvard Medical School researchers.
Because the main saving grace of the Democratic bill is that it is so inadequate and so delayed in implementation that the position supported by the majority of people, physicians and nurses - single payer full Medicare for all - will have abundant opportunities to build around the country.
And because the ever spiraling price hikes by the insurance industry are sure to spur the single payer movement to new popularity.
So, please, help us keep building this movement"
Recieved this from Ralph the other day, Personally I disagree with Ralph. (this maybe the first time) only due to the fact that I feel we need to take steps to get into a fully single payer universal plan not just a quick blanket. But I do agree that in the end universal health care is the way to go. Ralph here is stateing how wrong the dems are and yeah he is probably right, but if we think about it... what will happen when the GOV is trying to figure out how to pay for all of this after premiums sky rocket? Well I imagine that big GOV will put a clamp down on the price for service gouging the health care providers and HMOs are charging (paying more does not mean better service). All I know is that this Bill that just passed and has been put into law is a step closer to universal health care. It is a step in the right direction but Those democrats need help getting it their and the Nay sayers need to get on board and help push it the right direction, in stead of just complaining and not helping to make our law better. I love your work Ralph you would make the best president ever but I got to disagree with the methods you currently proposed.
BTW ralph thank you for Seat belts in Cars and Dates on food items. You really are a Life saver.

Answer: I love him.

I dont think that theres any conservative person out there thats like: "I dont care if the uninsured cant get care and suffer, theyre just filthy layabouts that should die, etc." (This is apparently what the left thinks of us)
Were for making health care more affordable for the American people, just not universal health care or government mandated health care.
Why are things like tort reform and allowing people to buy policies across state lines not being considered?
Answer: Ten months ago, President Obama was prepared "to curb malpractice awards, a move long sought by Republicans that is certain to bring strong opposition from the trial lawyers who fund the Democratic Party." The Republicans did take him up on that offer.

What Did the Incident About The Firefighters Letting The House Burn Down Tell Us About Healthcare?
Please read it all and voice any objections to this position. I want to incorporate this into my school paper. Its a huge research paper on the healthcare reform bill, and I think this is a very interesting point to put into the paper.
So I dont know if you guys have heard, you probably did though. But there was a house that had a small fire, but since they did not pay the fire "insurance" of $75, the firefighters were given orders not to put the fire out. So this small fire expands into a big fire and eventually to the neighbors yards. The firefighters came and put the fires out on the neighbors houses but not the initial home that had fire on it. They watched as the house burned down. Totally preventable, and pretty rediculous. But the guy didnt pay his insurance and the firefighters were just following orders. I think it was extremely cruel and horrible, but that was the law. In the city, we pay the fire department as part of our taxes.
Now lets tie that into healthcare. So lets say someone chooses not to buy health insurance because at they are healthy and good. But suddenly the person without insurance gets sick. Sudden onset of the disease or even one that was always present but did not show any signs it was there. Anyways, this person is rushed to the hospital ER. If this case was like the firefighters case, then the patient would not be treated (no insurance and no means to pay for whatever expensive procedure must be done) and they would be left to die. However, that is not the case with healthcare. Healthcare workers are not allowed to sit aside and let someone die, if that person has come in searching for help. They are not allowed to do so ethically or legally. Doctors swear an oath when they become doctors to heal people who seek medical help regardless of race, gender, economic status, ability to pay, etc. By law, emergency rooms are not allowed to turn people away if they are not able to pay. The costs of their hospital bill instead gets paid by the taxpayers.
So you can see why the mandated healthcare for everybody is important. Hospitals have to provide the care whether the patient can provide it or not. And just as with the firefighter case, if the firefighters stopped the fire, then that would mean all the other people would be paying for the service. Why should taxpayers have to pay for all of an uninsured persons medical bills? This patient should be paying into an insurance company, which will then pay for the charges of the patients bill. Thus the patient is essentially paying some of it. At least with the public option, the person would be buying insurance from the government and thus get some or all of that money from paying insurance.
If you wont read the question because its "too long" then you wouldnt be qualified to have an opinion about it, because you did not get all the facts. Example: how can you decide to fund money into fighting a war, if you dont know the first thing about where the place you are going to send your troops are?
