			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I want to go a few different directions with this article. First, a few things about me. I am 24 years veteran and I have my B.A. in History. I currently work as an assistant in a school district and I am working on my Master&#8217;s in Special Education. I consider myself a somewhat moderate republican. With that being said I am a very strong conservative. I give my bio because it will be relevant later.
</p>
<p>I have always enjoyed listening to and watching conservative news channels (Fox News).  One of the only talk radio stations where I live is basically the Fox News channel. I bag my fill of Sean Hannity every afternoon because he is on when I get off work and I am doing most of my driving. I normally agree with Hannity on most issues but I have got to win convey with him on this. For the past month he has blasted Obama&#8217;s health care proposal. There is nothing wrong with that except for the fact that I cannot trust him anymore. He continues to talk about how dreadful the economy is when ever body who is anybody as it relates to the economy has come out and said that things are getting better. I mean everybody and their mom have agreed that there are positive signs in the economy. Do we still have a struggle ahead of us?  Yes. Does anybody with a brain understand that things are at the least slightly better?  Yes, except for Hannity. I have never heard him mention anything positive about the economy. Because of this fact I cannot believe what he says about Obama&#8217;s health care proposal. If you cannot even admit that there are sure signs in the economy than I cannot believe a word you say about this health care proposal. I will have more on this issue as it relates to Sean Hannity in an upcoming article.
</p>
<p>I have a great job working in a school district but as an aide I do not make very great money. My employer offers health insurance but with my salary I was not able to afford it. For the past year my wife and I have had a policy through Aetna (a very good experience if I must say). Despite my meager salary we have always made health insurance a priority. My wife and I are basically living below the poverty level and because of the way we handle our money we have a pretty good life and health insurance (by the way we are both currently in graduate school). With all of that being said you can understand why my wife and I would most likely benefit from Obama&#8217;s health care proposal. Despite the fact that things could be easier on me with the passage of this bill I am still against it. I work hard everyday and watch what I spend so we can have health insurance. People living on fast food wages or minimum wage make around what I do and I do not feel sorry for them if they cannot afford health insurance because I know that it is possible to afford health insurance when you perform a very low salary. We already provide health insurance for the poorest people in our country and I even acquire that this program is not merited. There is no telling how many people on Medicaid could pick themselves up off the ground and improve their lives if they truly wanted too. The hard working people of America should not be forced to continue to carry the burden of lazy Americans. Medicaid was enough and this health care proposal only shows people that there are no consequences in life. Spend your money on whatever you want and then ask Uncle Obama to bail you out. If you ask me Obama is setting a dangerous precedent that will only get worse with time. If you provide health insurance to the lowest 10% of Americans in the social ladder and then extend it to the next 5%, before long our country will be providing health insurance to the lowest 35% of people on the social ladder. If you are wondering where I got my numbers, I got my 5% number of people from Obama&#8217;s speech to Congress. He stated that probably only 5% of Americans would enroll in Obama Care and I am assuming that a large portion of this 5% will probably be the next step up on the social ladder of those people who are not currently enrolled in Medicaid.
</p>
<p>My third and final point is that there have been lies and malicious words from both sides of the aisle. Have some conservatives probably slanted the coverage a little bit when it comes to Obama Care?  I would say definitely. I have kind of already covered this in my paragraph about Hannity but I wanted to hit on it briefly again. On the other hand you have had democrats and liberals call certain people who are against this bill horrible things. It is one of the biggest hypocrisies of our time. You had so many liberals and democrats call President Bush horrible things regarding the War in Iraq. The liberal media never once condemned these attacks against Bust and at times they even glorified these attacks. The same liberal media has resorted to all out warfare against the sometimes crazy townhallers that we have seen over the past few weeks. If the roles were reversed there is no doubt in my mind that the same liberal media would be glorifying the crazy townhallers if they were democrats protesting a bill against a Republican congress and president. The hypocrisy is through the roof on this issue.
</p>
<p>To sum it up, both sides have acted immature and dishonorable at times. The next month is going to provide numerous quotes and stories from both parties and sides. We may glance wait on at this in a few months and say that Joe Wilson&#8217;s &#8220;You Lie&#8221; comment was just a minor piece in the bigger story. Right now the liberal media has basically made it the most important thing since; please forgive me, sliced bread. It will be interesting to sight how conservatives/republicans/those against Obama Care act if this bill does find passed with a public option. Will they simply lie down and accept it or will they try to execute their occupy country?  One thing is for clear, the next few months will be very challenging.<br /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Massachusetts offers a variety of health care options for a family of three or four.  The cheapest is a PPO at a monthly cost of  $1202.19.  The cost translates into the neighborhood of $300.55 a week.  The Boston Globe recently reported Mr. Cleve Killingsworth, the CEO of Blue Ghastly of MA; enjoyed an annual salary for 2007 of 3.5 million, or, $67,307.69 a week.  It would lift in the neighborhood of 224 families paying weekly premiums of  $300 unbiased to mask the cost of one employee of Blue Rotten Blue Shield of MA.  Needless to say, not a penny of these 224 families hard earned money applies to healthcare, although in all fairness to the insurance industry, this is indeed a healthcare cost.
</p>
<p>This week of Mid-October 2009, the health care industry is embarking on a campaign designed to extinguish any disaster to nationalize heath care reform in the United States.  The health care industry is insisting any nationalized idea will raise the cost of monthly premiums by thousands of dollars and the health care industry may be apt, but for those who can&#8217;t afford health care as it now stands, increased costs don&#8217;t mean anything.  Simple economics dictates if the designate goes up on something you can&#8217;t afford to open with, purchasing the item remains out of the quiz.  If, however, you have the purchasing power for such an item, the last thing you want is an increase in its impress.  So, is the health industry campaigning to protect those subscribers they already have, or, trying to protect CEO&#8217;s who create $67,307.69 a week?
</p>
<p>CEO&#8217;s like Mr. Killingsworth are actually in very downhearted positions.  Owned by companies that offer stocks to investors and controlled by boards of directors demanding increased returns on those investments, Mr. Killingworth is caught between satisfying those in a residence to support him of a very cozy job and the publics perception of a health insurers responsibility to Americans, insured with the company, or, not insured at all.  It must be quite a balancing act, especially in times when a President demands coverage for all Americans.
</p>
<p>Americans are fortunate with respect to the fact we can decide between public schools and private schools.  Those who can afford to send their children to private schools do and those that cannot utilize public schools.  A public health option is not going to kill health insurance, as we know it.  Those with private policies will hold them and those with no policies can flock to public offerings.  Will they be as expedient as those services provided in the private sector?   Probably not, but the burden the uninsured status on the health industry as a whole will lead to a rising cost of premiums, affordable to less and less of the public.  When was the last time you paid less for health insurance?
</p>
<p>When John Doe dials 911 because he is suffering a heart attack, emergency operators don&#8217;t waist time querying the caller about his insurance coverage.  Emergency operators ascertain the dwelling of the individual and dispatch EMTs to the status.  EMTs fight to sustain life while transporting to a hospital.  If John Doe is insured, everyone (with the possible exception of the insurance company) breathes a affirm of relief.  If he is not, he is a burden on society.  He becomes a social cost.  911 operators as well as the Emergency Medical Techs they dispatch, operate at a cost to society.  They like salaries and benefits dependent upon tax revenues.  A nation of insured individuals will terminate the growing loss of funds related to the health industry at gigantic.  Public hospitals cannot rush at zero profit. Uninsured people don&#8217;t do regular check-ups giving diseases every opportunity to grow and attack society as a whole.  There is no reason to anxiety a change in the plan we insure our neighbors.  As it stands, the health insurance industry is headed down a road of self-destruction in a futile attempt at self-preservation.  Boards of Directors clinging to terrified profits and CEO&#8217;s trying to explain a weekly income matching the weekly premiums of how many families?   Affordable health care for all, could translate into health industry profit and growth.  If it doesn&#8217;t, then shame on us for attempting to fix a dilemma, but that is what American&#8217;s do.  They perform every distress to improve.  Most of the time we actually succeed.  Sometimes, we fail along the draw but in the slay the only method out of this mess is to change it.  Give the nay-sayers the opportunity to say, &#8220;I told you so.&#8221;  Maybe that&#8217;s what it&#8217;ll assume for us to stand united and fix this thing, after all.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&rsquo;re thinking about starting your fill puny business, one of the well-known things to assume is little business health insurance.

Apparently these costs have increased for the last five or six years, making it tough for shrimp businesses to quit afloat.
</p>
<p>With rising costs, dinky businesses need to believe alternatives like Cafeteria plans, co-pays, employee contribution to health care and etc.
</p>
<p><strong>Understanding the HMOS and PPOS</strong>
</p>
<p><strong>HMOs</strong>
</p>
<p>A Health Maintenance Organization or HMO is a fleshy fledged organization of healthcare providers. This includes the whole gamut of doctors, hospitals, and other health agencies that contract with insurances companies. They usually offer their services at a fixed designate.
</p>
<p>HMO plans are rather rigid and restrictive. They offer top-notch care, but have many rules that must be followed. An insured person who is a member of an HMO, has to determine a necessary care physician, who in turn manages all aspects of the person&rsquo;s healthcare. Individuals are runt to choosing a physician who is a member of the HMO network. This famous care provider is the only physician who can refer the member to a specialist, if one is needed, and that specialist must be fraction of the network as well.
</p>
<p>Exiguous businesses often go with HMOs because they are cost effective. Premiums are lower than most plans.

</p>

This is where a &ldquo;stop loss&rdquo; insurance company comes in. This gives the puny business a safety bag if claims are over a positive predetermined level.
</p>
<p><strong>Health Care Scams</strong>
</p>
<p>Because diminutive businesses are especially concerned with saving money, there are health care scam artists out there that target entrepreneurs. These companies exhaust professional marketing techniques, brochures, selling points, and they may even pay microscopic claims, but when a titanic claim comes in, they refuse to pay, and often go. This is why it&rsquo;s essential for the limited business owner to do his homework and only go with a company that has credibility and a track characterize. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>McCain&#8217;s health care understanding would eliminate the tax deduction for health care plans, and replace it with a &#8220;refundable&#8221; tax credit for everyone.
</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what it means:
</p>
<p>Fair now, group health insurance benefits are exempted from tax, which means you don&#8217;t pay taxes on the value of the health insurance belief you receive from your employer (assuming you are among the fewer and fewer citizens who aloof receive health insurance benefits from your employer).
</p>
<p>Under McCain&#8217;s view, that exemption would go. You would be taxed on the value of your health insurance benefits.
</p>
<p>In return, he would offer you a tax credit at a fixed, universal value. It would be the same for everyone. And everyone &#8212; the theory goes &#8212; could go out shopping to recall their acquire health insurance on the launch market. In theory, as &#8220;consumers&#8221; hit the &#8220;market&#8221; for insurance, competing companies would lower prices, improve their coverage, and give better service and benefits overall.
</p>
<p>Sounds suitable.
</p>
<p>It would be, if insurance and health services worked in the same arrangement the market for cars works.
</p>
<p>A group of four well-respected scholars have concluded in a fresh white paper that McCain&#8217;s scrape would result in less and worse health insurance coverage. Here&#8217;s why:
</p>
<p>First, insurance companies who sell group plans cannot exclude individuals from the group plans. When a company hires someone with diabetes, and that person comes under the company&#8217;s purchased health insurance opinion, the insurance company can&#8217;t legally exclude the original employee with diabetes. As anyone knows who has tried to remove health insurance individually, insurance companies can and do exclude individuals who have chronic health problems.
</p>
<p>That defeats the purpose of health insurance &#8212; unless you contain that the purpose of health insurance is to effect money for insurance companies.
</p>
<p>A second jam is that McCain&#8217;s proposed tax credit is structured to support up with the rising costs of health insurance. Free market proponents may argue that health insurance, and necessarily health care costs themselves, would decrease rather than increase under a McCain idea. Supply and question, they would argue. Competition in the marketplace. But they would catch no serious policy experts to agree with them.
</p>
<p>To the contrary, policy experts tend to agree that a typical &#8220;consumer&#8221; advance to health care and health care insurance does not work on a supply-demand principle. Popular sense backs them up. The diabetes patient who is denied coverage, or who is offered coverage at an unaffordable designate, can assert you that no matter how considerable &#8220;examine&#8221; she may feel for the medical treatment valuable to sustain her healthy, she cannot pick up a realistic &#8220;supply.&#8221;
</p>
<p>The white paper abstract sums it up in this way: <br />
<blockquote>Moving toward a relativelyunregulated nongroup market will tend to raise costs, reducethe generosity of benefits, and leave people with fewer consumerprotections. [<em>Health Affairs</em> 27, no. 6 (2008): w472-w481 (publishedonline 16 September 2008; 10.1377/ hlthaff.27.6.w472)]</p></blockquote>
<p>The authors of that represent are not political hacks. And they have criticized the Obama health care belief as well. So you&#8217;ll have some context in which to consider the foregoing quotation, I&#8217;ll paste in here the names and credentials of the four scholars who authored the study:
</p>
<p><sup>1</sup> Tom Buchmueller is the Waldo O. Hildebrand Professor of Risk Management and Insurance in the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. <br /><sup>2</sup> Sherry Glied is a professor and chair of the Department of Health Policy and Management, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, in Unusual York City.<br /><sup>3</sup> Anne Royalty is an associate professor of economics, Indiana University&#8211;Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI).<br /><sup>4</sup> Katherine Swartz is a professor of health economics and policy in the Department of Health Policy and Management, Harvard School of Public Health, in Boston, Massachusetts.
</p>
<p>Corporate employees and others who may detached savor group-based health insurance plans stand to lose the most. They&#8217;ll lose the tax exemption for those plans. Instead they&#8217;ll be given a tax credit and an intimidating homework assignment: go out and come by yourself a worthy deal on health insurance. By yourself.<br />
<br />McCain&#8217;s health care idea would eliminate the tax deduction for health care plans, and replace it with a &#8220;refundable&#8221; tax credit for everyone.
</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what it means:
</p>
<p>True now, group health insurance benefits are exempted from tax, which means you don&#8217;t pay taxes on the value of the health insurance belief you receive from your employer (assuming you are among the fewer and fewer citizens who collected receive health insurance benefits from your employer).
</p>
<p>Under McCain&#8217;s concept, that exemption would recede. You would be taxed on the value of your health insurance benefits.
</p>
<p>In return, he would offer you a tax credit at a fixed, universal value. It would be the same for everyone. And everyone &#8212; the theory goes &#8212; could go out shopping to catch their contain health insurance on the launch market. In theory, as &#8220;consumers&#8221; hit the &#8220;market&#8221; for insurance, competing companies would lower prices, improve their coverage, and give better service and benefits overall.
</p>
<p>Sounds honorable.
</p>
<p>It would be, if insurance and health services worked in the same procedure the market for cars works.
</p>
<p>A group of four well-respected scholars have concluded in a novel white paper that McCain&#8217;s scrape would result in less and worse health insurance coverage. Here&#8217;s why:
</p>
<p>First, insurance companies who sell group plans cannot exclude individuals from the group plans. When a company hires someone with diabetes, and that person comes under the company&#8217;s purchased health insurance view, the insurance company can&#8217;t legally exclude the unique employee with diabetes. As anyone knows who has tried to bewitch health insurance individually, insurance companies can and do exclude individuals who have chronic health problems.
</p>
<p>That defeats the purpose of health insurance &#8212; unless you acquire that the purpose of health insurance is to get money for insurance companies.
</p>
<p>A second quandary is that McCain&#8217;s proposed tax credit is structured to maintain up with the rising costs of health insurance. Free market proponents may argue that health insurance, and necessarily health care costs themselves, would decrease rather than increase under a McCain view. Supply and inquire of, they would argue. Competition in the marketplace. But they would collect no serious policy experts to agree with them.
</p>
<p>To the contrary, policy experts tend to agree that a typical &#8220;consumer&#8221; advance to health care and health care insurance does not work on a supply-demand principle. Current sense backs them up. The diabetes patient who is denied coverage, or who is offered coverage at an unaffordable impress, can convey you that no matter how considerable &#8220;expect&#8221; she may feel for the medical treatment vital to withhold her healthy, she cannot fetch a realistic &#8220;supply.&#8221;
</p>
<p>The white paper abstract sums it up in this way: <br />
<blockquote>Moving toward a relativelyunregulated nongroup market will tend to raise costs, reducethe generosity of benefits, and leave people with fewer consumerprotections. [<em>Health Affairs</em> 27, no. 6 (2008): w472-w481 (publishedonline 16 September 2008; 10.1377/ hlthaff.27.6.w472)]</p></blockquote>
<p>The authors of that represent are not political hacks. And they have criticized the Obama health care notion as well. So you&#8217;ll have some context in which to believe the foregoing quotation, I&#8217;ll paste in here the names and credentials of the four scholars who authored the study:
</p>
<p><sup>1</sup> Tom Buchmueller is the Waldo O. Hildebrand Professor of Risk Management and Insurance in the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. <br /><sup>2</sup> Sherry Glied is a professor and chair of the Department of Health Policy and Management, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, in Unique York City.<br /><sup>3</sup> Anne Royalty is an associate professor of economics, Indiana University&#8211;Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI).<br /><sup>4</sup> Katherine Swartz is a professor of health economics and policy in the Department of Health Policy and Management, Harvard School of Public Health, in Boston, Massachusetts.
</p>
<p>Corporate employees and others who may composed indulge in group-based health insurance plans stand to lose the most. They&#8217;ll lose the tax exemption for those plans. Instead they&#8217;ll be given a tax credit and an intimidating homework assignment: go out and get yourself a expedient deal on health insurance. By yourself.<br /></p>
