Bend over people.

MY healthcare costs are going to go up by 70% next year, thanks to the jackasses who refused to leave the teeth in the healthcare reform act.

Thanks a lot fools. I can only hope that you too will share in this "wondrous thing" your racist initiative has created.  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

And if the information I saw this week is correct, most of you are going to be squalling when you see the bullshit your employers are going to be rolling out for 2012 around healthcare.

Seems to me like HH and I tried to say something to that effect and were poo pooed and scoffed at.  Seems to me that most of the conservatives who were against this healthcare bill also said insurance rates would go up for those who had insurance too and that's one of the things they were against.  The cost for the employer's is going up and that is why yours is going up.  Next year your other choice will be to go on government sponsored healthcare.

  Tell me something "ME", just why can't the insurance companies be nonprofit companies.  When they work of the profit system every dollar they make in profit is less medical help for their customers.  They still can pay good wages to the CEO and the employees.  It would just stop the multimillion's in dollars in pay they pay their CEOs now.

  And why is it Obama fault for the raising healthcare cost.  Why don't you ask the drug companies, Hospital administrators and the doctors why the bills are so high.

  It seem to me that you are beating the wrong horse which is like beating a dead horse. :deadhorse:

I work with a few non-profit organizations. It has been my experience that they are inefficient and waste a lot of money.

  Please tell how and why they are inefficient since you worked for them while they were wasting a lot of money.   :confused:

I didn't say I worked FOR them. I work WITH them on an IT consultancy basis.

They have no incentive to watch the bottom line. The executive positions are grossly overpaid in the ones that I am familiar with. They depend on contributions and since they are lobbyists, they have PLENTY of money to throw around. They pay an exorbitant amount for rent because they want to be on K street. And they have the most lavish offices you have ever seen.

This happened because of the removal of the teeth from the original bill, which resulted in an insurance carrier friendly bill that enabled these jackasses instead of regulating them as was intended.

Seems to me if anyone was warning about the resulting increases it was this poster!

  What you said sound like the American Heart Fund.  My sister worked for them in an Indiana office.  She said they had lavish dinners, parties and lavish trips for for only the top officials and paid minimum wage to all of their workers.

  Surly there could be regulations on the people and they have to account for their spending.  It seem like were there is a lot of money, there are always the crooks taking advantage of everybody.   :wink: :smile:

When I have some time, I will link to the posts on THIS forum that PROVE that the changes made during the debate of the HCRA led to what everyone who works and is reading this is going to get bitch slapped with.

The original bill had provisions to prevent increases to deductibles and premiums, it prevented companies from applying diagnostic testing toward deductibles, and a lot of other things that did NOT get through the bill as passed by congress. They took the teeth out of it because they are paid by those same companies!

NOW, they are applying everything toward deductibles that are DOUBLE; including prescription drugs!

That is NOT the fault of the POTUS, but of congress!
