Senate Panel Votes a “No” on Public Option What does that Mean? National Economy/National Editorial 12 by www.jamestowncalif.com 9-29-09
Tuesday the Senate Panel Voted a “No” on the Public Option Plan. The Health Care Insurance Bills so far have shown a certain bias. According to last weeks Los Angeles Times Thursday report, there is nothing in that bill that is going to control costs. To add, Medicare faces a 240 billion dollar reduction according to the Baucus Bill. What does this all mean? How does it affect people and how does it affect the National Economy, and what about the State’s Economy?
“It’s my job to put together a Bill that gets 60 Votes” said Baucus (ref msn.com report). Max Baucus is the Montana Democrat whom is the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. The President has stated that he wants the bill at a 900 billion dollar budget over the next 10 years. Some Independent groups have it at over a trillion.
It’s a policy where the Government Option is competing against Business and the Senate is the Middleman or in the middle making the votes while the bills are drawn up. Many leaders in the recently elected class of 2006 and 2008 have been very harsh on their words and assessment on those people against some of these bills. It is already known that many leaders consistently don’t read the paperwork before voting, so does that mean is that vote valid?

It seems that the Congressional Leaders are desperate for getting a bill together no matter how much it costs, and no matter how it affects business and the economy. It is a true fact that the fact that this debate is even going on is because of two reasons. Reason number one is because the costs are high for care currently. The second reason is because the insurance companies continue to charge a lot on their policies, and sometimes they play tricks with the customer by dropping them sometimes, or fighting over the cost of the care with the doctor or hospital. To add when the hospital knows that either the State insurance or private insurance is going to pay for it, they raise costs on medications, care, and visits. The reforms are needed, but not in the fashion that I have noticed from what the Public Option is which was voted down today in the Senate.
The popular sang: “is the government option going to be able to pull the plug on grandma” is something the American People are concerned about. The American People rightful are standing up for their rights by debating this issue. The leaders are calling some meetings as Mob-like, and that is not right. Many people are happy with their insurance, and happy with what they have. Those people have played it by the rules over a course of time without changing that course and now the leaders want that disrupted.
The leaders say that a public option will not affect private insurance, but I disagree. It seems as if Washington wants the bill to be able to control the Health Care Industry State by State, and get people into their system. What will that do to the deficit in 10 years adding 900 billion-1 trillion dollars into that new system? It's like giving them a reason to print more money, then tax it, then pay interest on it while this system doesn’t control costs. Some leaders have said that the Bill will control costs, but according to the Los Angeles report Thursday last week, there was nothing showing that it will control costs. In fact costs can go up if the doctors and hospitals know that the government is going to pay for it. That will also mean that every person has the likely to be directed into care that they would not otherwise need. At the same time there have been reports that if you don’t have insurance you’re going to pay up 3800-4000 penalty for not having insurance. For every penalty or tax on people for not having insurance that money otherwise goes to the local & state economy.
It's like shoving it in your face and standing there telling people what are you going to do about it? It is unbelievable the newly elected leaders urge to borrow as much money as possible for all bills. Can there be a possible fraud that is going on?
I think that with all this information going around about what the groups have put together, it seems as if this is more about controlling the industry itself. There needs to be insurance reform I think. This can be the time when the economy flourishes by private insurance companies giving better deals on policies for people to afford. Instead, there has been nothing I have noticed by the insurance companies to give policies at lower costs. It is a tough economy, but in order to make the economy better you need to get competition in industries. This is a golden opportunity for the economy to get a boost of money, but so far it has not happened. The insurance company needs to do more to give incentives for people to buy policies that there is no need for a public option, nor the debate. Its is the excuse the leaders use knowing that its not health care reform we need, its insurance reform, and costs reform in hospitals and care that need some reform. And the big one, the giving people of medications, the costs of those drugs, who is going to pay for it. Right now they are already expensive, and I think too expensive, and that is what has not been addressed where the leaders are more keen borrowing another 1 trillion dollars to pay for a Health Care Reform Bill.
What happens if that money runs out? What will happen to the private insurance industry and the people whom make their living on selling insurance if there is a government option? Some argue that it is a government take over of the health care industry, is that a fair assessment? The first thing that will happen is that people will lose their jobs in the private insurance industry. People would quit if they were unable to sell insurance at the rate they have been or if the government option is less by even a few bucks. That is why the insurance companies need to do more. Those people that will not sell insurance anymore will have a gap in employment thus there is tax money that is lost from his income, then from what he owns say property. Taxes in the state level can be lost if a lot of people are put out of work over a bill that can change the way business is done from a private to a public economy.
Some of the leaders have acted in an aggressive stature on this issue. Some leaders have insulted people directly in the town hall meetings. I thought the B Frank comment to that lady:”What planet are you on” went to far. I also question where some of the leaders get their information and if they are intentionally either incompetent to running a National Economy or are deliberately trying to hurt people which ends up hurting the National Economy. Some of the news I have seen the last 2 weeks, I have never seen such bad news, and the economy is worse that it was last year at this time. The economy is the same only that there is more deficit spending, and that is what needs to be addressed. The private economy circulates and pays for itself. The public option can eventually go broke, just like everyone else has without a bail out. I think that the leaders seem desperate on getting a bill together then to vote on it as Baucus suggests he only cares about getting the 60 votes.
I think its remarkable all these commercials about trying to sell this health care reform when its more than that. “No American Should go broke because they get sick President Obama Says. He’s right in that commercial. However the leaders putting the bills together so far it has shown that first costs will not be controlled, and second there will be reductions in Medicare, and those are two big factors that people know that is not making sense in all this. Why do you want to cut Medicare, and why the Bill that has been put together has not addressed costs.
New York News, making it mandatory those workers that are in the health care industry have to take a H1N1 flu shot. There was some protests today in Albany on that new measure. Socialist Medicine is already trying to get through the barriers it seems now in New York creating a law for people that are doctors or working in the industry all having to take the shot. Some people may quit or not go to work over this. Its something that you wonder well how did the virus create up in the first place.
How is the Public Option going to create competition as Senator Shumar suggests saying that "We need a Bill"? What if it devastates the whole industries itself both the health care industry and the insurance industry? And what about the taxes that people generate from employment what happens to those taxes if people lose their jobs over these reforms that the tax payer is going to be paying for anyways the way the bills are structured right now?
And what about Cures for diseases, couldn't that 900 billion be used wiser, and does any of that money proposed do anything to get a cure for a disease?
thank you
