health care system in California dimmed Friday when the leader of the state Assembly announced he doesn't plan to take up the single-payer bill this year. Speaker Anthony Rendon called the bill "woefully incomplete." "Even senators who voted for SB 562 noted there are potentially fatal flaws in the bill," the Los Angeles-area Democrat said in a statement. The bill, which has passed the Senate, lays out a plan for a government-run health system in California, but it doesn't inc ...

I've been called a racist, hater, lair, Nazi, crazy, evil, scary, extremist, violent, stupid, homophobe, Islamaphobe, and fear monger (among other things) for telling people this would happen. Why am I not surprised this is coming out now? You have no idea how bad I wanted to be proved wrong. Sigh. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/conyers-health-care-law-platform-single Conyers: Obamacare Is ‘Platform’ for Creating Single-Payer System ...

If we really want single payer it makes sense to include items that will reduce the cost for everyone. 1. We need to remove malpractice insurance and malpractice lawsuits. If we left these in place we'd force doctors to practice defensive medicine. Anyone complaining of intercostal muscle strain must be kept overnight in the hospital and submit to a battery of tests to rule out a heart problem. 2. Speaking of heart problems... Most of those are due to a bad diet (not to mention obesi ...

The program would be funded by the savings obtained from replacing today’s inefficient, profit-oriented, multiple insurance payers with a single streamlined, nonprofit, public payer, and by modest new taxes based on ability to pay. Premiums would disappear; 95 percent of all households would save money. Patients would no longer face financial barriers to care such as co-pays and deductibles, and would regain free choice of doctor and hospital. Doctors would regain autonomy over patient care. ...

For all the people who want a socialized health care system (i.e. single payer system), it's not what you think it is. This is written by someone who has been working in the field for years and understands it. There are also people in other countries in this type of health care system that cross referencing verfies the accurancy of this information. Myth No. 1: Everyone has access to health care a single-payer system. Everyone in a single-payer system has health insurance, not ...

ABC news reported General Powell's statement: “I am not an expert in health care, or Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act, or however you choose to describe it, but I do know this: I have benefited from that kind of universal health care in my 55 years of public life,” Powell said, according to the Puget Sound Business Journal, last week at an annual “survivors celebration breakfast” in Seattle for those who, like Powell, have battled prostate cancer. “ ...

I'm curious what your stand is, then, for those who cannot afford health care due to lack of insurance?Do you feel that health care is a priviledge reserved only for those who can afford it?Do you feel that "there will be poor, always, pathetically suffering" (Jesus Christ Superstar) and that it is not required that others concern themselves with it?Do you feel that private charities should take over this aspect of poor people's lives?Do you feel that those who are poor are poor becaus ...

This is a good link to explain the whole mess.

I am horrified at what is happening in Wisconsin and many other states. There has been a systemic effort to take away our rights and this is just the latest. If you are a working medical transcriptionist you know only too well about the cuts to wages and benefits. The corporate policies (using political influence) have offshored work, cut wages and benefits, driven workers into unemployment, so that the remaining workers will grasp at any reduced wages and benefits that might ...

On Tuesday, the Census Bureau released its annual report on health insurance coverage in the United States. News media widely misconstrued the data and presented the problems facing the nation's health care system through a distorted lens. Many major news outlets made a basic error when reporting on the Census Bureau study. The Los Angeles Times wrote that "the number of Americans with no health insurance rose in 2010 to 49.9 million from 49 million the year before." But the figure c ...

So....a friend is for our US health care reform (already retired and on Medicare) because he had no trouble going to Canada to get laser surgery on his eyes so he wouldn't have to wear glasses and states there is nothing wrong with the Canadian system....but, and I'm asking a serious question here, how long do people really wait for emergent surgery if they belong to the Canadian system versus the American system as we have it now? How did Canada get their health care system up and ru ...

DH and I got a really big television 01/2009 and only got the one year warranty, did not buy extra as usually TVs are a pretty good item. This is a brand name and cost total over $1,000. For the last few months when turning on the unit you could hear the audio but then would pop and go back off. The last time this happened not only did it pop but also a pouff type sound and then went off. The only way we have found is unplug and plug back up. Call place where we bought and they had an electronic ...
