obama health care speech
What are the spcific argument(Republican) against it..from obama health care speech?
can someone write me some lines on that
Obama’s solution to health insurance monopolies? Give government the monopoly. A monopoly with guns. How nice.
Obama talks about right wing scare tactics used to fight his health care plan. Then he says that without his plan more people … thousands more … will die. So just who is using the scare tactics?
He says no taxpayer money for the government option? Does he really expect us to buy that dog squeeze? As soon as the government health insurance option runs into trouble there will be “emergency” bailout bills presented in congress — because to do otherwise would be to jeopardize the health care of millions of Americans, and we just can’t do that, can we?
Obama says that no one would be “required” to choose the government option. Wiggle room: The law won’t require you to join, but when your private insurance company is run out of business by the government plan you won’t really have another choice.
It’s clear President Obama isn’t listening to the American people. Americans have made it perfectly clear they do not support a big government bureaucracy public option that will compete with the private sector health insurance market place, add new taxes and fees or mandate coverage as a part of health care reform.
Obama said that “what Americans who have health insurance can expect from this plan” is “more security and stability.” Many of them can, in fact, expect to lose their coverage while paying higher premiums and taxes. Many other Americans can expect to lose their jobs thanks to Obama’s “emploOBAMA: “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits either now or in the future. Period.”
THE FACTS: Though there’s no final plan yet, the White House and congressional Democrats already have shown they’re ready to skirt the no-new-deficits pledge.
OBAMA: Requiring insurance companies to cover preventive care like mammograms and colonoscopies “makes sense, it saves money, and it saves lives.”
THE FACTS: Studies have shown that much preventive care — particularly tests like the ones Obama mentions — actually costs money instead of saving it. That’s because detecting acute diseases like breast cancer in their early stages involves testing many people who would never end up developing the disease. The costs of a large number of tests, even if they’re relatively cheap, will outweigh the costs of caring for the minority of people who would have ended up getting sick without the testing.
