Health Insurance

Message to the White House: http://davidkretzmann.com/blog/?p=649

I do not get the impression that either mainstream Republicans or Democrats are addressing the key issue here: INDIVIDUAL CONTROL. The last thing that will keep costs and prices down in the long run is more reliance on employers, insurance corporations, and government. We need more control in the hands of the individual to bring down costs, prices, increase quality, and expand accessibility.

A vote for a public insurance option is a vote against the current distribution of wealth within society.

Not withstanding the current public options and without looking to detract from or support those options. We can see a clear difference between what is publicly funded today and the public funding of health insurance.

Health Insurance vrs Public Roads

No one is saying, or at least Im not saying, we should not pay taxes. Nor am I saying taxes are bad and the government should have zero jurisdiction outside the of military.

The Interstate Highway System was funded with 90% federal funds from the Highway Trust Fund (stocked with motorist fuel and excise taxes) and 10% state DOT funds.

Health Insurance vrs Public Education

9000 PER STUDENT
270000 for 30 students

45000 in total teacher compensation
28500 in curriculum ($950 per student)
14400 in mortgage and lease

2930 per year, per student
245 per person, per month

Health Insurance vrs U.S. Postal Service

The U.S. Postal Service “The independent government agency relies on postage and fees to fund operations. Though it has? a monopoly on delivering the mail, the USPS faces competition for services such as package delivery.” answers . com/topic/united-states-postal -service.

No one is forced to pay for postal service and this service does not increase the cost of mail delivery. Health Insurance does increase the costs of Health Coverage for everyone including the uninsured, which is unjust.

Health Insurance vrs Personal Responsibility

We eating foods that are killing us quicker than our reason of strength.

Access to health care should come from wages and sustainable wages should be paid by every employer.

I am all for the government legislating a meaningful minimum wage applicable to all business owners. The governments role is to secure the right of individuals to do good. Individuals can not do good if they can not pay for the services they need.

Thats no solution thats extortion

“But exchanges are not necessarily free. Many are coerced. If a robber threatens you with, Your money or your life, your payment to him is coerced and not voluntary, and he benefits at your expense. It is robbery, not free markets, that actually follows the mercantilist model: the robber benefits at the expense of the coerced. Exploitation occurs not in the free market, but where the coercer exploits his victim.” http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/FreeMarket.html

Your not driving innovation your driving profits

Don’t leave the president alone in the White House. Pray for him and all those in leadership that we might live quite peaceable lives in all godliness and honesty.

Hudson Valley residents expressed outrage today after their incumbent Congressman, who has refused to hold any public discussions on HR 3200, derisively known as ‘ObamaCare’, attempted to leverage his official position to shut down a series of town hall meetings on health care that have been arranged by his prospective 2010 opponent, New York State Assemblyman Greg Ball (R, C, I – Patterson).

“The congressman’s office seems more interested in spending time trying to avoid a public discussion on health care than they are in reading this 1,100 page socialized medicine bill,” Ball said. “A primary concern of mine is that we face an unlevel playing field when a public plan can shift costs to our state’s private insurers because of low doctor and hospital reimbursement rates. State lawmakers nationwide can, and should be hosting public meetings on this critical issue.”

According to reports, the current congressman’s requests for cancellation of Ball’s town hall meetings were denied.

“Hudson Valley residents deserve an open and honest discussion to debate the consequences of legislation that many believe will irreparably harm both the economy, and our health care system,” said Cornwall Town Supervisor Kevin Quigley. “Our sophomore Congressman may feel differently, but I’m glad to see our state representatives, like Assemblymembers Annie Rabbitt and Greg Ball, taking the lead on this critical issue.”

Ball signed onto an official letter from the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) to Congressional leaders, which was delivered on July 29, expressing the will of more than 1,800 state legislators opposing federal reform efforts-particularly, the Medicare-modeled “public plan” and a national health insurance exchange-which they say will trample states’ rights and lead Americans down the road to single-payer health care.

“It may have escaped our Congressman’s notice, but people are outraged about this bill,” said William DeProspo, Chairman of the Orange County Republican Committee. “It is bad enough that he has refused to defend his viewpoint on this issue directly to the public, but this Orwellian attempt to infringe upon free speech and halt public discussion is shameful.”

The members of ALEC-the nation’s largest nonpartisan, individual membership association of state legislators-recently approved the Resolution on Preserving States’ Rights Regarding Federal Health Insurance Exchanges and a Public Plan, which deems the federal public plan anti-competitive and calls the proposed national health insurance exchange a “federal takeover” of the states’ role in regulating health insurance.

“Our current congressman has chosen to discuss this bill only in meetings with special interest groups in a behind the scenes, closed door format, and while that may score political points with Nancy Pelosi, Hudson Valley residents know better,” said Chairman Michael McCormack of the Dutchess County Republican Committee. “States primarily regulate today’s health insurance market and provide aggressive oversight of the market and enforce consumer protection and ensure a local, responsive presence for consumers. Now that congress is considering legislation that may impose restriction on the states ability to regulate health plans, including overriding already adopted state patient protections, is important to have responsive legislators like Assemblyman Greg Ball, who will stand up and fight for us, as it is the duty of our state elected officials to stand up and stop this effort to undermine state authority to design programs that reflect local needs.”

In the ALEC letter to Congress, ALEC’s lawmakers criticized the federal push to shift health care decision-making to Washington. “We all share the goal that patients deserve to choose their own quality, affordable, private health coverage,” Ball’s letter states. “But health reform shouldn’t just be the job of the federal government.”

Former Clinton advisor and national pundit Paul Begala on Minnesota’s unique role in the health insurance reform debate.

Begala spoke about Minnesota’s unique role in the reform debate – as the home to both the Mayo Clinic and Rep. John Kline (R) who is the highest ranking Republican on the House Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee which is key in building reform legislation.

Last week, Kline’s colleague in the House and representative of the nearby district, Tim Walz (D) invited Kline to attend a bipartisan townhall to have a real conversation about the need for health insurance reform. Walz offered to do the same for Kline and attend a similar meeting in Kline’s district. Kline declined the offer.

“Health care is a huge issue in both districts ,” Begala said, referring to the fact that the Mayo Clinic is located in Walz’ district but close enough to Kline’s that many of his constituents work there. “During August, members can go home and talk to real people…. this could have been a breakthrough moment…. He’s the top Republican on this committee, and he doesn’t want to meet .”

Begala also talked about his past work with President Bill Clinton in trying to get health care reform passed in 1994, and how Republicans blocked those efforts.

“The fact that they were able to block health care reform in 1994 has caused health insurance costs to double,” Begala said. “When they [Republicans] come back to Washington, it’s a pretty safe bet they will be absolute obstructionists…..What Republicans are defending, though, is the status quo. If this keeps up, the average family of four will spend $36,000 a year on health insurance. That’s unsustainable.

“That’s fine if they are happy with the status quo that says thousands of Americans can have their health insurance coverage denied, and thousands more are priced out of the market. I though president Obama explained it best when he said there is a plan that will bankrupt all of us, it’s the status quo. That plan is the Republican plan.”

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo) says at a town hall that it is “a huge mistake” to assume strong opinions from anyone opposed to President Obama’s health care reform plan are “manufactured”. She said that they might be “organized” but they are “not manufactured.”

She also denied that abortions will not be covered in the health care proposal. “That’s just simply not true.”
