Can someone explain whats going through the minds of democratic senators in health reform?

Listen to me, I just need to know whats going on here.



They want universal health care coverage that covers almost anyone so everyone can have insurance and nobody has to die from poverty. I've seen this and it looks good, however they aren't taking into consideration many things.



1. They often compare what our health care system would be like compared to frances health care system. The French are successful because they have 3x more doctors per person then america does, along with the fact that they have lower rates of obesity, and other health issues. They say if it works for them it will work for us.... Thats a big conclusion coming from a small statement.

2. Canada has a crappy health care system, its very ineffective and the sad thing is they still are healthier then the average american. Along with that they have caps on pharmaceutical drugs which allows the cost of medicine to stay down lowering the total cost of coverage.

3. If we look at all the benefiting factors there will be a huge amount of people that will suddenly be storming hospitals, and this will add to the already huge GND.



I don't have statistics for anyone, but from the fact that the benefiting factors in america are worse then those in Canada which are already terrible so any logical person can conclude that this reform is going to be a catastrophe. Where are they going to get the money for this cash guzzler?



Well originally they thought they could just move some money around (30% or so of our total budget) to make room for this bill. Then they realize %26quot;oh snap, we don't have that much money to move around%26quot; So they try and sugar coat it to get it passed by saying they have ways to get the money (China) but not they are saying the one thing that president obama said he would not do, that they would target a specific class to get the money.



They are proposing to get the money by increasing taxes on doctors by 21% in order to pay for this. They justify it by saying that doctors will get more business so it will even out. Not at all, not at all. With Medicade and Medicare doctors only end up recieving about 15% of the total bill, the rest goes to other places (IRS) when privatized insurance gives about 85% of the money to the doctors which they then lose 40% of that 85% to taxes. This universal health care package will be about even with medicare/cade. So if anyone can do the statistics you'll realize that the soon to be increase in taxes along with the 21% increase in taxes, along with the 15-85% will mean doctors lose alot of money a year. Not to mention that the % of coverages similar to medicare will increase.



Why I even bring this up you may ask, why am i so concerned about the overly rich wealthy doctors?



1. Ones of obamas oaths was that he would not raise taxes on any one class/profession. what is he doing now, we're having alot of change, the change is driving us straight into the ground.



2. You probably already realize by my writing that I'm 14 years old, well heres the situation with both of my parents. They are both doctors, my mom now has a brain tumor in her temperal lobe i think it is and it could kill her. She has been out of work for about a year so my dad has had to work 65-70 hours a week in order to compensate for it. Hes worked hard his entire life and what they are about to try and do will destroy our family. (he has a huge amount of debt as it is from student loans, the house payment (we don't own really fancy stuff or a big house) and many other things. He has not been able to put into his retirement for over a year. This could end up killing him if he has to work anymore then what he is right now, which is kind of ironic because in order to save the people that now have the universal health care coverage, his heart is now giving out because he has to compensate for his losses.



I would like to be a doctor someday as well, I'm smart enough but theres no way I'm going into medicine if this gets passed. Money is one of the leading factors of why people go into medicine (second only to being able to save peoples lives and making a difference) The amount of doctors will decrease over the next few years if this is to happen which will cause a higher demand for doctors, because more people will need doctors to satisfy their healthcare coverage. This will cause a stalemate in the already losing battle our economy is fighting.



So if anyone actually reads this far, why are politicians so stupid?

The facts are what goes through their heads.



FACT - Insurance companies in the USA admit to pushing up prices, buying politicians and not paying out claims when they should [a]

FACT - PER PERSON the USA spends more on healthcare than any other nation on the planet [b]

FACT - Obama debated his plans before the election for healthcare [c]

FACT - the chance of a child under five of dying in the USA is greater than industrialised nations with universal health coverage [d]

FACT - Obama was elected by the American people to bring in change [e]

FACT - Obama wants to stop insurance companies screwing the American people [f]

FACT - The reforms Obama wants work in the Netherlands and in Switzerland [g]



If anyone can prove the facts above are wrong, e-mail me and let me know.

Money
You have several errors and misunderstandings stated as facts here. It would take an hour to straighten out your misstatements. So, I won't try to refute it all.



What I will say is this, your family is exactly the kind of family that the Health care Reform act is supposed to help. Your father should not have to work himself into ill health without any promise that he will ever have enough money to retire before he himself becomes a health statistic.



President Obama was elected on the promise that he would successfully complete health care reform. This was part of his platform from the primaries forward. I do not recall him promising not to tax anybody to pay for it. The intention was always to tax the rich, and to require everyone to have some kind of coverage or pay for the privilege of not having it.



Considering your family situation, I simply can not understand why you would defend the status quo. Don't you see that it's threatening to tear your family apart?
They have placed the Dem agenda before the needs of our country and its taxpayers. They have committed most Americans to lower living standards for many years to come. They have sold this country down the river for a pittance. They will all pay eventually.
