Have you ever paid for your medical bills using your own money?
If you have then you would know the insurance companies are not the ones charging outrageous prices. Its the health care providers that are charging so much.
Funny how the Obama administration only wants to focus on a small part of the problem eliminating any chances of actually fixing the real problems.

nobody is getting thrown under the bus. Insurance companies are encouraging the reform.

We need health insurance reform.
Yes, I have paid for medical care with my own money. I was without health insurance for years.
Health insurance companies and medicare DO increase the prevailing rate for health care – because they demand 70% discounts on all services – so health care providers have to mark up their prices to compensate for discounting them later.

Yes it will………Yes I have paid using my own money…..the hospitals and doctors charge according to the insurance companies they provide for…..some clinics don’t take ALL insurances if you haven’t noticed that.

Getting the cost of premiums down is only one part of health care reform. Administrative costs account for nearly 1/3rd of our health care costs. Lowering that cost would help substantially. Requiring universal coverage would also address some of the costs associated with advanced diseases that might have been caught earlier and treated with early diagnosis and treatment.
Also, part of the proposed legislation provides funds for training of more family practitioners. That would also help address some of the costs associated with health care. In addition, the public option, if popular and if properly administered, would not only provide competition to the insurance companies but it would give the government more clout in addressing health care costs.

Wah wah, the poor insurance companies who make billions in profits and pay their CEO’s millions in bonuses each year. You must work for an insurance company.

judging by the deals he cut with the drug companies, his goal is to lower costs by raising costs. Doesn’t that make perfect sense to you? Me either.

You sound like another typical liberal. Why must you bash on the health care corporations?
Corporations are not evil. Profits are not evil.
Libbies (like you) who hate the rich, are getting really annoying.

Who cares. We are Americans, we pull ourselves up by our bootstraps.
America does not want Healthcare, what we need, what we demand is Wealthcare.

So far, it’s what drove prices UP.

Insurance companies have about 30% overhead vs 4% for medicare…..that means medicare has more of its funding actually getting to where it needs to go, while the private insurance siphons more money to investors and CEOs for private jets. The difference is greater than 1/4 of their total income from insurance fees.
However, tackling the insurance companies without following up with the crooks at the drug companies will ultimately be insufficient. No other nation on earth pays more for the same drugs we buy and every other country pays less….we cant have that if we want affordable healthcare.

Yes.
last I checked, health insurance co’s are charging outrageous premiums.
they only negotiate price and pay less to health providers because that is part of their profit.

For Obama, it’s not about fixing ANYTHING, he wants power, his Marxist ideas are starting to come out and hopefully people will see before it is too late.
