(The cost estimates used here are for for persons with pre-existing medical conditions.)
Slowly, details of the new 2,000+page government health insurance law
are being discovered. . Last week, a health insurance industry consultant was interviewed on national radio. She estimated that for a person with pre-existing health problems, it would cost them around $12,000 per year, about one thousand dollars per month, per person, for health insurance under the new health care law. The deductible would be around $2500 for each person for each year. The monthly insurance premium is around $300 per person. And there are co-pays for each doctor or treatment visit. She estimated that it would all add up to about $2500 a year for each person. Having insurance coverage is one thing, but receiving health care is another matter. Many people don’t know what is going to happen to them – and how much power and control the federal employees and political appointees will have over their medical care decisions, and even over their lives. Yes, there really are death panels—they had to admit their existence but they call them by another name. Try the “duck test.”
The plan does not pay for anything before the deductible is paid out-of-pocket for the year. People will have no choice. You will be by law, forced to enroll and buy this national health insurance. If you don’t, you will be fined heavily and the IRS will enforce the fine. What does this say about freedom in America ?
When congress and the administration forced the health plan through, against the will of the majority of Americans, they said you would be paying an “insurance premium.” Now that 18 states are suing the federal government, when the feds are arguing the case in court they call it a tax.
Sadly, AARP allegedly cut a profitable insurance deal with the administration –behind closed doors--to get government insurance business. In doing so, AARP betrayed millions of senior citizens, including their members. AARP representatives in their local town hall meetings would not listen to the voices of the senior citizen members. Many tore up their AARP membership cards.
There is now a movement of seniors joining AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens. AMAC is the alternative for the voice of those over 50. My wife and I dropped AARP and are members of AMAC now.
I plan to vote in November to elect representatives and senators who will listen to us, -- to the American people -- and repeal this bad law. Vote for leaders with conservative principles, who can unite on a plan to fix the existing health insurance problems. In spite of all these problems needing to be fixed, America has the best health care system in the world.
We, the people must unite to stop socialized medicine promoters from destroying health care as we know it. If we don’t begin to stop this runaway train in November, the resulting medical train wreck will be a tragic loss from which we and our children may never recover.
There are good American voters and good candidates out there. We are paying attention. Let’s encourage one another. Let’s stay involved , stay informed, and be observant regarding how the votes are counted. May it be a landslide victory for the American people and for the cause of Liberty .
