Healthcare: Pros and Cons

This will most likely be the easiest and most famous article I can write, to date.

This article should clear up any misconceptions, that Americans need "Healthcare Reform". Who should or should not be included. Why we need it and why we don't need it. Come read for your enjoyment.

Healthcare Reform: The Pro side, because Obama and his Administration say "we need it" or our country will fall into a very,very big, bottomless pit!

Healthcare Reform: The Con's side of the issue:

Members of Congress are gearing up to reform the U.S. health care system, and unlike in 1993 when then-first lady Hillary Clinton tried her hand at changing the medical system, this time the important players -- doctors, insurance companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers -- seem to be on board. You heard a lot about health care reform this week, and you'll be hearing even more in the months to come. It's an incredibly confusing, complex issue.

Illegal Immigrants/Alien Trespassers are included in this "reform bill".

Will American taxpayers be paying for healthcare for illegals under the Democrat sponsored health care reform bill (HR3200) being debated in the House of Representatives?

Don’t be surprised if it happens. The Dems claim that it is already in the bill that illegals can’t get healthcare through it. But there is just one problem. There is nothing in the bill providing a means to verify any applicant’s citizenship. So if an illegal shows up with a fake social security number there is nothing to stop him from getting his medical care paid for by the taxpayers.

The GOP has proposed amendments to the bill which would allow for verification of citizenship prior to rendering services but the Dems voted those amendments down.

Taxpayers will be footing the bill for this.
Cost factor:Heritage Foundation,Posted August 4th, 2009 at 11.45am in Health Care.

President Barack Obama has promised the American people that his health care plan “will help bring our deficits under control in the long term.” But so far, the cost estimates coming out of the Congressional Budget Office are not matching up with Obama’s rhetoric. The latest CBO scoring of the Senate’s leading bill, Dodd-Kennedy, estimates that Obamacare will add $597 billion over just the next ten years. Meanwhile, CBO director Doug Elmendorf has said the House health plan will increase the budget deficit by $239 billion over ten years, and “generate substantial increases in federal budget deficits during the decade beyond the current 10-year budget window.”

But a fair-minded person may ask: But those are just cost estimates; what is the federal government’s track record when it comes to accurately measuring the future costs of health care programs? Well, the Senate Joint Economic Committee has released a report studying exactly that issue, and they found that health care plan costs are always dramatically underestimated. From the report:

The Republicans "alternative" to Healthcare Reform:

Republicans think Obama's plan is costly and will make health insurance more expensive, not less. In a plan outlined this week, House Republicans proposed individual tax breaks for buying health insurance and "pools" of states and small business to get lower-cost health care plans. They also proposed increasing incentives for people to build health savings accounts, allowing dependent children to stay on parents' policies until age 25 and encouraging employers to reward employees for improved health.

How do "Doctors" feel about "Healthcare Reform"?

The American Medical Association said while it believes in health care reform, "the AMA does not believe that creating a public health insurance option ... is the best way to expand health insurance coverage." The AMA has told members of Congress that doctors fear a new government-sponsored health insurance program would reimburse them at Medicare rates. "Medicare reimbursement rates have not kept pace with the cost of practice," AMA President Dr. Nancy Nielsen told CNN earlier this week. "Our Medicare rates are back at 2001 rates, and the reality is, that's not where our rent is, that's not where the electricity is.

I can go on and on and on. Why not join myself and other guest speakers on, Blogtalk Radio, a weekly talk show, this Sunday, August 16th, the subject is "Healthcare Reform, the Pro's and Con's:
