What we have not seen yet on healthcare:
1) Drug companies agreed to contribute $80 Billion, but have raised drug prices 40% since the agreement! There will be NO REAL reduction in costs because the drug companies will have raised the prices to cover the $80 Billion and WE WILL BE PAYING FOR IT! Stop the lies!
2) Now that employers have the upper hand in the economy, and employees are just happy to have a job, the upcoming increases in medical insurance will be passed on to the employees and employers will not contribute to the increases. The screaming now about doing something will become the screaming later about NOT doing something to control medical insurance and drug costs.
3) The MD's and other highly educated in the medical industry have been fooling us for a long time. Insurance companies negotiate to pay for hospital care at 25% of the listed prices. The rest of us pay the list price UNLESS we attempt to negotiate. A local employer here does not provide health insurance since moving to California from Arizona. Instead, they go to the hospital after the employee is released and negotiate to pay off the bill for 50% or less than the face amount.
4) What does this all mean? It means the prices being used in the math are all list prices, and they have nothing to do with the actual costs or prices paid by insurance companies. They all are taking us to the cleaners and covering it up with fake prices.

So, we need to make changes in the health care industry to stop them taking advantage of us all. If we don't, then it will cost us all. We must hear what Obama has to say. I think he is on the right track. He knows he did not have all the answers, but by debating and talking about it, the real dirt will come to the surface. THAT is why the Republicans now are willing to make some compromises, because their supporters in the Medical industry realize their cover is being blown.

I just think it's funny that anyone expected a trillion dollars to be made up out of thin air within 9 months. Especially during a recession when less money comes in, and more money goes out.

Republicans put themselves in a great position to be able to criticize anything Obama does, because Obama didn't have any money to start out with to implement anything.

He's not slamming conservatives - regardless of what an article is about, if there is mention of a politician, or even if there isn't, sometimes, crazies from both ends of the spectrum, and everywhere in between, decide that we all need to read their opinions.

You missed comment 2 & 3 up top.

Again, that's your own prejudice that makes you think that the line in the article is about consertitives. When, if you read it without looking for a chance to be offended, it's in reference to ANYONE who was looking to argue politics until they were blue in the face.

But as you don't read TV Squad anymore, you'll never read this.

Again, that reactionary BS like you just posted was the very thing that the blogger was hoping to avoid.
