Obama's Inflated Health Savings

I have to say, I'm an Obama supporter, and even I find that he seems to have overstated this bit.

On the other hand McCain's plan basically deregulates health insurance so that providers can move to states with lower regulation and not have to follow the stricter regulations of states like New York.

First things to go:

Insuring anyone with a prior condition,sorry epileptics, diabetics, and children born with health problems.

Regulations that make it illegal to deny necessary medical care, by allowing the insurance company not your doctor to decide what falls under the category of "necessary".

Perscription coverage.

And since McCain's plan involves not requiring employers to provide insurance...guess how many of us will still have it? Not too many once it occurs to the companies that they are not required to give you a raise to make up for cancelling your insurance benefit. So NOT PAYING for your insurance is pure profit for them.

There are currently about 47 million uninsured Americans. Under McCain's plan that number would likely double.

Not only health records, all other records (INS, for example) must be electonic in USA, like in the rest of civilized world. Under Obama guidence or somebody else - Conress must impose severe money penalties for those Hospitals still keeping paper records after some shorf dealine.

I get so angry because all the criticism that people do only prolongs our INACTION. SOMEBODY has to do SOMETHING for God's sake. Got a better idea, instead of just shooting Obama's plan down?

But you have acknowledge that it will save cost after 5 yrs of its implementation. What is your point? Will America extinguish after Obama? If he puts the health plan and it becomes effective even after 20 yrs, it will be a great burst to families then. Remeber Mr. Man, policies implementation is not the same as baking a cake.

What we have in this country is not a lack of health care but a lack of health. If American's took their health serious we wouldn't need so much health care. I agree with Sen. Obama when he says we need to focus on
disease prevention and not just disease management. hello, this country is eating it's way to early graves then wants insurance to pay for hypertension medications, diabetic care and very, very expensive bariatric surgeries. What happened to personal responsibility for one's health. I'm glad he quit smoking-at least he is practicing what he preaches. How about everyone quit smoking-it would save this country billions in health care related costs. Electronic medical record systems are very, very expensive for hospitals to impliment between computer systems to run them to teaching all staff how to use them. Hospitals don't have the funds to do this readily. Most are barely making it with Federal reimbursements so low and so slow.
