You mean “set standards” right? Afterall, I KNOW you’re not trying to word it into a scare tactic. You’re much more of a civilized human being than that. A “bureau” will be set up just like there is one setting standards for the minimum an employer can pay his/her employees, the type of pesticides that folks are allowed to use, etc. It’s a default to have. Has the private insurance industry done a good job without checks? Dropping people after they develop serious conditions through loopholes they find from when a person fist applied? How about denying you coverage because of a pre-existing condition?
You want to talk about bureaucracy? How about my mother had an odd skin discoloration and makes an appointment with a skin doctor (Dr. Olmstead in Twin Falls, ID Woot!). They tell her on the DAY she has her appointment after scheduling it 2 weeks in advance that her insurance company called and that she needs to get a referral. However, because of this case they make her go to a doctor an HOUR of traveling time away instead of her local doctor who lives a 2 minute drive away from our house. After scheduling that appointment and getting the referral (literally walking in and out in 3 minutes), then she has to call the insurance company to tell them, and THEN she has to reschedule with the dermatologist. Yeah, THAT wasn’t done to discourage her from getting treatment.
So fucking what? Should illegals not get the same fire fighting or police benefits either?
This is one of two things:
- A bold-faced, malicious lie.
- You willingly saying “fuck it” to actually checking how these possible changes would change the Social Security and Old Americans Acts.
Want to prove me wrong? Pull up those two bills and input the changes these sections would do, and then post it for everyone here to see.
So if you choose the public option instead of your own private health insurer, you:
A. Get a quote of cost much like a car, life, or health insurance provider would give you (The government will monitor your finances)
B. Get an ID card that you can show for your plan, much like Medicare recipients use their cards (create a de facto national ID card)
C. Get to choose to have your healthcare costs be paid out of your bank account for your convenience, if you so choose to take this choice (as well as have access to your bank accounts to pay for your healthcare)
Oh, you mean you get to look at different health care plans the government will offer, such as a basic, enchanced, premium, and premium-plus plan? Yeah, I agree with you: FUCK being able to see how care is rationed under the different offered plans.
Yeah, fuck the government from trying to make it so that young adults who spend all their money and stupid shit have to have health insurance so that when they get sick, something can cover it. Afterall, they should be allowed to spend ALL their money on stupid shit and then when they get sick, tax-payers can pay for their costs because they don’t have the money. Makes perfect sense, my friend.
I honestly can’t even see how you, or whoever fed you this twisted that. Please show me this “essence” of how this added to section 1833 of the Social Security act means cancer is a death sentence, because I really don’t see how your mind is working here.
