    The plan was written and passed without change. Rimmed through without even reading it, remember? Alzhiemers?
    Again more lies. Here's an education.

    Barack Obama
    Would create a national health insurance program for individuals who do not have employer-provided health care and who do not qualify for other existing federal programs. Does not mandate individual coverage for all Americans, but requires coverage for all children. Allows individuals below age 25 to be covered through their parents' plans.

    Allows individuals to choose between the new public insurance program and private insurance plans that meet certain coverage standards. The Obama campaign Web site says the coverage would have benefits similar to those offered to Congress through the Federal Employees Benefits Program. Plan would expand eligibility for Medicaid and State's Children's Health Insurance Program.

    Offer an income-based federal subsidy for people who don't get insurance from an employer or qualify for government plans like Medicaid.

    Obama estimates the cost at between $50 billion and $65 billion, to be paid for by eliminating Bush tax cuts for those earning over $250,000.

    Regarding employer contributions toward healthcare costs, the Obama Web site states: "Employers that do not offer or make a meaningful contribution to the cost of quality health coverage for their employees will be required to contribute a percentage of payroll toward the costs of the national plan." The plan calls for small businesses to be exempt from the requirement and some could receive a tax credit that helps reduce healthcare costs, according to the Web site.

    Says states can continue to experiment with health care plans as long as they meet the minimum standards of the national plan.

    Proposes investing $10 billion a year during the next five years to implement standards-based electronic health information systems, which would include electronic health records.

    Would allow Americans to purchase medicines from other developed countries if the drugs are safe and prices are lower than outside the United States. Says he would repeal the ban that prevents the U.S. from negotiating with drug companies.

    No R votes were required for anything to do with this abortion of a bill. It is fully owned by Obama and the democrats.

    Every R voted against Obamacare You lie about as effectively as Hillary
    And to add, It was all locked down by Obama with the D's in Congress before He even took orifice due to his perceived "mandate" at the time.

    Such lemmings J

    You'd have a point if the US didn't pay more per capita in health care than every country in the world, including those with universal.

    There are literally dozens of test cases available that prove universal is cheaper and actually leads to a healthier populace, but you retards are too fucking shortsided to change. I hope you all get aids and die just before your bankruptcy hearing.
    Flagged for mentioning bankruptcy. #TrumpTrollBaiting

    Why would we want to provide coverage for everyone and reduce our burden by 50%? Single payer is scary! Why add thousands of dollars per capita into other sectors of the economy when we can pay for 50 layers of bureaucratic inefficiencies at insurance companies?

    I actually think a single payer system competing against the private system would be a good thing. But when I read it's proponents comments on these boreds, I retreat and change my mind in hopes those posters will just die instead.

    Yeah the US government is far more efficient. Holy shit!
    It literally is, Medicare is way more efficient than private insurance.

    Here are a couple highlights:

    Medicaire's spending grows at a slower rate than private insurance premiums (4.3% per year vs 6.5%).

    It's administrative costs are tiny compare to private insurance also (2% of expenditures vs 17% of revenue).

    Are you under the impression that paying medical billing coders, insurance adjusters etc is a good use of health care spending?

    And yet every single country with universal health care spends less than the US per capita, most more than 50%.

    Medicare and Obningo care are both rife with billions in fraud every year. I guess it's efficient at false claims.

    You think this is because their system is more efficient, or because their culture isn't full of mountain dew drinking cheeto eaters playing Warcraft in their mom's dads' basement? No offense to present company, of course.

    Obama care was written and ready to go prior to Obingo being president. Written by the Apollo Alliance. You can look them up, quite interesting.

    It has to fail. We can not afford it. We are not entitled to health care at others expense. Get over it.



    The first part is right.

    I haven't heard of the Creed Alliance, so I'm guessing that 's some Birther BS.
