I am mad as hell and just cannot take it any longer. We must have heath and healthcare reform, but the LIES MUST STOP! Point in CASE - Alabama. Our PRESIDENT made direct reference to Alabama - he insinuated oligarchy health institutions like Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama are taking advantage of situations and raising the cost of health insurance premium: FACTS he did not tell:
- Alabama has the 5th LOWEST, let me repeat 5th lowest, when it comes to health insurance premiums in the NATION. (2008 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey)
- Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama is a NON-PROFIT. This is what he is proposing. (Alabama Secretary of State – Business) We need insurance companies to return to their roots of non-profits and mutuals (companies owned by the policy holders)
Hello, what more can he ask for as proof of a system that works. Next we see him switch the number of uninsured without explaining what he has done. Yes, the number now is 30 million down from 50 million. Big swing, when they used the 50 million to get elected and now they say the number is 30 million. How can you believe their numbers now when they misrepresented the numbers in the past? The new number is minus ILLEGALS AND RESIDENT ALLIENS. Wow, glad we got that clear.
This blogger definitely wants REFORM, but only the reform that will help the people of this nation. I an in favor of removing employer sponsored healthcare. (I did not say "employer paid" because the consumer has been paying 100% all along) A consumer centric system of protection that rewards healthy lifestyles is the only plan that will work. More to come on the Cash Doctor "Consumer Centric PLAN".
