The public option, quality health care for everyone.

[Joe_Cracker]

This has been going on for over a month, it's not healthcare itself but rather the idea that quality healthcare is a privlage, healthcare should be like free speach, the right of every American. Don't believe those commericals that say public healthcare is bad or it's socialisum, well maybe if that's what it is then that's what we need but it's not designed that way. The public option(That won't be the name of it) won't be like medicare or medicade that rely on money from the Social Secerity fund, it will be paid for by a tax on the rich and for those who buy into it instead of paying a permium to a for-profit health insurance company, your instead paying a tax for better healthcare then ever. Like that Wal-Mart commerical where the woman said her percisptions for a 30 day supply was $4.00 each. With the pubic option, Wal-Mart might be able to afford to charge say $2.50 each.

Think about it, if it passes, you didn't support it and then you say get cancer, the guys incharge of the public option tell you it's free and that they are ready to give you treatment when you are. Say your newborn was born with a hole in his or her heart, or is going to be born with a heart defect, the public option would repair the hole and put your unborn baby on the waiting list without having to pay a cent. The plan is that no one pays anything upfront, it will also lift the birden for employers who can't afford health insurance for his or her employees. No health insurance company is going out of business, their always fighting against eachother but some decide that they can't take you because of some pre-existing condition, and to me that's bull sh*t. If it wasn't for medicade I wouldn't have affordable healthcare. All 3 of my percripitions at the Bi-Lo pharmacy only cost me $6.00 a month, even with good insurance generics can be expensive. I look at those recents and see what the full prices are and I can't believe what they are charging. The drug companies will still profit with the public option and be given access to more funding for research and development for new and better drugs, and if you have to go to the emergency room because something hit you in the eye like what just happen to my mom, you don't have to pay anything or co-pays will be reduced by thousands. I don't know what will happen but it's sure to happen.

Against the law to deny coverage because you had a zit.
Against the law to deny coverage because you gave birth your first or second kid.
Against the law to deny coverage because you got shot.
Against the law to deny coverage because your mentally handicapped(I love that one.)

Democrats, pogressive republicans, I got some advise on how to handle the insurance companies and those in Washington who appose reform.

Cracker's Advice:
Show them your packing heat, pull out your nines and show no mercy, and don't take no for an answer. The Americans want reform, even if some guy didn't vote for you he still wants reform because corperate health care has been failing us since the 1970s when Nixon introduced the H.M.O. and which became the standard for profit health insurance company of today.

Also, repeal the Medicare Rx drug improvement and modernization act of 2003 because that's one of the reasons the coasts of healhcare went up for the past 10 years.

Only one Republican voted yes, the rest voted no votes are 39 Democrats and 176 Repubicans. If your a democrat and want to vote for one, find someone else or hope the guy your district elected changes his or her mind. For the Republicans, we can see that they have no heart when it comes to you getting sick or injured, and they would rather have you pay like $12,000 or more a year for health coverage that your not even going to get when you need it.

For myself, I would rather pay a cheap tax for healthcare that I know that I'll get rather then some half-a** insurance company who has a greedy CEO and should not even be a publicly traded company.

Boy, and they thought they wouldn't get this far, republicans I mean. Last night I watched as the Senate Democrats put away their differences and didn't think about re-election and thought about you and me with a 60 to 39 in favor of the health care bill. Republicans are going to fight the public option tooth and nail, but there is alot more to be done.
