What does the current health care bill do to reduce cost in health care itself?
March 24, 2010 - 3:27 pm
All you hear are liberals spewing their propaganda about how premiums will supposedly go down. How will premiums go down if the actual cost to provide health care services does not decrease? And if you think that actual health care costs (not insurance premiums) will decrease, how will this bill accomplish that?
Nothing of course and the Left knows it.
What none of them will answer though is how any of this will be paid for when the initial looting of Medicare runs dry, leaving the federal government insolvent to the point of not being able to reimburse doctors who are waiting to have their invoices paid.
Edit: Felonious is proof of what I just posted…None of them will address it.

Nothing. Does taxing food or gasoline "reduce" the cost of food or gasoline? Only a total rube would say yes or that it would reduce the deficit. lmfao at tards.

It actually won’t totally, it’s a compromise that provides more insured people in American along with increased profits for the industry. Don’t believe me? Look at how the market went UP after the will was passed on Monday. Though this was the wrong bill to be passed IMO but I am digressing.
To answer your question, like any kind of insurance, the more people paying in CAN lower the rates that have to be paid in and so forth. Hence, more insured people means lower pay as it drives down cost in many ways. The problem is that you can’t "squeeze blood from a stone" and expect the poor to be paying for HC coverages when they don’t have the money, the penalty is supposed to keep people from waiting until they are deathly ill before signing up but it’s expected to happen anyway, even with the Gov paying for it in a lot of cases.
Long tem, the legislation will bring 75% insured up to 85%+ with some 15% still uninsured. 8 million of the uninsured will be immigrants because of the rhetoric that blocked them being covered.
Other things to consider, public systems (which we are not fully adopting here) look at heath as a long term system, currently employers don’t care about you per se, you need to remain healthy for a few year or so until you move on to the next company. Hence the theory in this case is that the poor will get much less expensive preventative care opposed to waiting for expensive ER/OR options that may have been preventable.
