HR 4903 Declaration of Healthcare Independence sm


Posted: Mar 24, 2010

This one was introduced by Michele Bachmann.  There is an article and link to a petition with more than 20,000 signatures and 100 members of Congress on board in one day already.  Also, a link to a poll showing Congress with a 76% disapproval rating.

But The Declaration Of Independence SaysApr 14, 2015
Have we forgotten? Here are Thomas Jefferson's exact words, which can be found within the Declaration of Independence - I dare anyone to accuse him of writing "Word Salad" ;) ____________________________________________________________ "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature ...

The Secessionists' Declaration Of IndependenceNov 16, 2012
Disclaimer  This is a joke (from Webster:  "something said or done to provoke laughter; especially : a brief oral narrative with a climactic humorous twist") The document presented is not to be mistaken for an official document of any kind.  There is no need to vet cheezburger.com - I do not get all my news from the lolcats.  (I find them to be unreasonably biased.) ...

NPR Tweeted The Declaration Of Independence. Jul 06, 2017
Honoring the Declaration of Independence on the Fourth of July seemed innocent enough. America's founding document, after all, represents the can-do spirit of the American people and the revolutionary vigor with which the country was founded. But when NPR did just that, posting the document line-by-line in a series of tweets on Tuesday, Twitter users thought the words of our founding fathers were overtly political statements. As a result, they pulled the Declaration into the abrasive pol ...

Healthcare's Bipartisan Problem. Almost Half Of Healthcare SpendingJan 13, 2017
healthiest half of the population consumes only 3% of health care costs. The only alternative would appear to be taxpayer subsidies. It is next to impossible, politically, to take away freebees once in place. Income redistribution continues to increase. The 2010 health law, also known as Obamacare, forced insurers to sell coverage to anyone, at the same price, regardless of their risk of incurring big claims. That provision was popular. Not so were rules requiring nearly everyone to have ins ...

Happy Independence DayJul 04, 2013
July 4 is the birthday of our nation. It is the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the document by which the American colonies declared their independence from British rule, which had become burdensome if not tyrannical. This was, however, not an end but the beginning of a struggle for freedom that would last for more than seven years and cost many of the brave men who signed that document their comfortable homes, their land, their fortune, their children and &ndas ...

HealthcareMay 09, 2017
I had Obamacare and even with the subsidy still could not afford it and was paying for nothing essentially because there was no way I would ever meet the deductible.   To be forced to have to have something is not the answer and as awful as some think that the repeal and replace of Obamacare is, we have to do something and we have to start somewhere.  Obamacare was meant to fail and did noone any favors and, by the way, we were LIED to.  We have to have choices and competitio ...

Healthcare BillJun 29, 2012
This healthcare bill only has a few good things in it, but it was passed so it can insure 30 million people in america that don't have health insurance.  there are 300 million people in the united states.  The healthcare bill is not about health care or insurance at all, it's about making the government more powerful.  Now they can tax our behavior.    It's about expansion of government.  Exerting behavioral control over american people.  Th ...

Why Don't Some Consider BC To Be Part Of Healthcare?Oct 22, 2012
Insurance should cover prescription drugs, such as antibiotics, narcotics, antidepressants (how many here are on THOSE??) and birth control pills. Are birth control pills considered different b/c they're related to sex?  Is that what it boils down to? I was put on them at 14 years old by my pediatrician.  It wasn't covered; we had to get them at PP.  Why wasn't it covered?  If I'd had an infection, antibiotics would have been covered. A small percentage ...

New Healthcare ExchangesAug 13, 2013
I don't happen to think the new healthcare exchanges are political, happen to believe they belong on the health issues board because they will affect all of us. This article explains the value of Obamacare to me in that EVERYTHING IS CAPPED SO YOU DON'T PAY MORE THAN ~$6000/year. It also explains the meaning of the "10 essential benefits" insurers need to provide to qualify for Obamacare. It doesn't matter if your premiums go up a little or down, what matters to me is I get co-p ...

Why We're Still Waiting On The Yelpification Of Healthcare.Oct 21, 2012
"While power has indeed shifted into the hands of the consumer when it comes to buying a car or choosing a restaurant, this revolution -- what Rothschild terms "Yelpification" -- hasn't, well, revolutionized health care. Writing in the New York Times, Ron Lieber attributed the lack of authoritative doctor reviews to patients' unwillingness to do the actual reviewing. The problem, he said, is one of basic supply and demand: "Many people want this information, and more consume ...

Not for those who are too impatient to read anything longer than a paragraph. While our earnings are being ground into dust, the HC providers we ultimately work for are marking up everything they deliver by 300%, 400% and more, making outsize profits and paying obscene salaries to executives.  Example:  A patient charged $1.50 for a generic Tylenol pill when you can buy a bottle of 200 for $4.00 from Walmart (2 cents a pill).  https://www.walmart.com/ip/39661523 ...that's ...
