Ok here is a site reguarding the myths and truths of Healthcare Reform.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck/


On the other side of the coin are you a or were you on a private insurance but your insurance denied you coverage for treatment or medicine because it was not in you plan. Post your story here.

If your a small business owner and you are not financiallyable to cover your workers because of high cost of healthcare post your story here. If you are a small business owner and fear of a mandate to cover your workers by the Fed then go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck/ and check with your congressman or senator about the bill and have then read you the section on small business exception.

If you had a love one incapacitated and unable to communicate his/her decisions of healthcare and you were left with uncomfortable position of decision maker because of a lack of a Living Will, post your story here. (Think Teri Schivo)



I'll go first.

I was working for a year as an temporary accouting clerk and receiving Medicare due to my disability. My supervisior at the firm loved me he offered to hire me at the same pay of $10.00 an hour at the temp agency paid, and with medical benifits that they agency didn't. Unfortunately their medical plan didn't cover my medications or Dr. It was also the around the time of year of medical review for disability benefits and I feared my earning may make illedgible for continued medical coverage. I had to decide betweeen medical care for work. I could only funtion at work if I had medicine so I logically chose medical care.

So, it's the advocates of the program giving you their talking points... ok.

How about an independent analysis and breakdown of the plan that is not coming from one side or the other?


EDIT
The more I listen to, the harder I laugh. This is pathetic!

EDIT #2
Ok, come on. There is no human being on the planet that asks those questions! Nobody talks like that!

EDIT #3
Ok, the "keep your own insurance clip is a riot. It basically attacks those that claim otherwise saying they "have too much free time" and "cherrypick" and goes on to do nothing to dispute it but play a couple clips of our fearless leader claiming that we can keep our own insurance. classic!

So anyway, back on the topic of small business...

Isn't part of this being paid for by a fine for businesses that don't provide healthcare and the it's taxed as a benefit for both the company and the worker? i mean. that's what it used to be but it has changed so many times i don't know what's what anymore. i started to read it but by the time i was 100 pages in, it was updated again.

If you are taxing the businesses in any way, you are hurting them. Plain and simple.
