The Democrats want to vote on the Jobs Bill. The republicans have no leg to stand on and so simply filibuster and change the discussion to the Health Care Bill in order to deflect the truth. So, let's talk about the Health Care Bill. Here are some simple truths:
1. Nobody is refused care at the emergency room
2. Erskine Bowles said his recent visit to Arkansas revealed that 53,000 uninsured showed up at emergency rooms in one year in his state and received treatment.
3. Emergency room rates are the most expensive in the delivery system
4. The Hospitals DO NOT eat these losses, they are called uncompensated care. The Hospitals raise their costs on all services and end up charging the insured inflated rates so that they loose nothing and we insured end up paying the bill for all of the uninsured.
5. Nearly all, if not all, illegal immigrants do not have health insurance and are flooding our emergency rooms with uncompensated care....we need to secure the border....more on that later.
6. The unbelievable pay that the Chairwoman of Blue Cross is gross, greedy and simply disgusting...she makes more than 12 million a year in pay not to mention other remunerations. Now, though Blue Cross is non profit, we still pay for these absurd executive salaries...and by the way...raising her taxes will not hurt job creation...see other post.
7. Forty cents of every health care dollar goes to paying these useless insurance companies.
8. I watched the hearings on the Health Care bill, every insurance company executive all said the same thing i.e. the bigger the insured pool the better assuming most in the pool are healthy.
Bottom line - we need to have a one payer system, fire all of the insurance company employees, reduce their pay and hire 50% in the government paying entity, build a triple wall on the border to keep out illegals and begin deporting illegals when they are caught breaking our laws like drunk driving, domestic violence, theft and other offenses.
