It’s a “Big Fucking Deal”

Well, since so many people have no idea what’s in the newly passed healthcare bill and just oppose and hate it because they were told to do so, lets look at some immediate benefits everyone now gets! As VP Biden said, “This is a BIG FUCKING DEAL!”

The President signs the healthcare bill.

1) Insurers can now not deny a child due to a pre-existing condition. (The adult version of this starts by 2014.

2) Small business get a tax credit of up to  50% tax credit to cover their employees.

3) Seniors will get a rebate on prescription drugs that fall in the donut hole created by the republicans and GW Bush.

4) Children can stay on their parents plan until they reach the age of 27.

5) No lifetime caps. Really? you didn’t know you had a lifetime cap? When was the last time you read your policy? Also, annual limits go away by 2014.

6) A temporary high-risk pool will be created for people with pre-existing conditions, which will last until 2014 when exchanges take over.

7) New plans must cover checkups and other preventive care without a copay. All plans must have this by 2018.

8) No more can an insurance company drop you when you get sick.

9) Insurers must now reveal how much money is spent on overhead.

10) New plans must now include an appeals process for coverage determinations and claims.

11) Indoor tanning services tax of 10% (ok, I really don’t know what this one’s for).

12) New screening procedures will be implemented to try and prevent fraud and waste.

13) Medicare rate protections for small and rural hospitals and facilities.

14) Non-profit Blue Cross organizations will have to spend at least 85% of premiums on actual health care.

15) Nutrient content disclosures on chain restaurant menu items.

16) Early retirees will get better coverage. (Don’t think I’ll need that one)

17) Encourage investment in new therapies for the prevention and treatment of disease.

18) Better consumer information on the web, such as where to find affordable policies.

So there you have it…This is some great stuff…That starts immediately.. Who in their right mind would oppose any of this? Where is the government intrusion? Where are the death panels? THEY ARE NOT THERE…Because fox news and the right wing schills LIED and distorted to you!

Could this bill be better? YES IT CAN! Is this a start? YES IT IS!

Thanks to Huff Post for making this so easy to read…

Crazy Right Wing People

Okay, it’s time to cut it out all you knuckle-headed right wing nut-jobs! You are disgusting pieces of pig excrement and you’re all spewing lies and hate, and worse now, violence! Why? Because we’ve passed health care legislation as a country that was far too long overdue?

President Obama AND the Dems ran on a pledge to do health care reform in the 2008 election cycle. You know what happened? The Dems won…BIG..so, they had what’s called a mandate…and they used it to pass a bill they said they would pass…WHAT’S THE PROBLEM dummies? People approved of healthcare by margins over 70% a year ago, before fox news and the right wing spin machine started lying and distorting the issues.

So, now you’ve taken to vandalizing, yelling racial epithets (real classy!) and slurs. The vitriol and venom is so classless and unbecoming…you really need to grow up. Read the bill on your own, don’t believe what all these bat crap crazy right wing loons are saying, like Bachmann, and Palin (she cant even keep a job) and Beck, and Hannity, and El Rushbo…seriously folks, can’t you think and read and form an opinion on your own?

This bill is GREAT for America. It could be so much better, but the crybaby sore losers on the right won’t lift a finger to help out. They think that if they do nothing, and obstruct, good things will happen…How does that help 33 million people get health coverage? How does that stop 46,000 fellow Americans from dying without? They don’t care…You dont care..all you want is power, and you’ll do whatever it takes to get it…WHATEVER it takes…and that’s not healthy for you or for our great nation.!

To quote from “The American President, ” ” This is a time for serious people, <any right wing tool>, and your fifteen minutes are up. My name is <any American Loving compassionate citizen> , and We ARE America.”

A win is a loss!

Just have time for a quick one today, and it’s about Obama’s health care push.

This has been a screw up since the beginning. Every since they started playing with this, they instantly took single-payer off the table. Yep, without any prior negotiations, just to reward big insurance. The best solution for all, MEDICARE for all, GONE!

Then they started taking lots of other good stuff out, mandates on lower prescription prices and what not and made this a very crappy proposal.

They watered it down, they let the right spread vicious lies about it, such a “gonna kill grandma” and “death panels” and lost the communication battles all summer of 2009.

So we are down to this, a very very crappy bill. The best I can say about it is it does mandate that you can’t be dropped nor be denied for pre-existing conditions. The catch, there is no limit on how much your company can charge you for that! “sure Mr. Drew, we wont drop you for getting <insert disease here> But, your new premium is…ONE BILLION DOLLARS!”

If any of this makes sense to you, nah…never mind, it can’t make sense to anyone!

BUT, we are going to get a health-care bill passed and that’s a win right? Only in the fact that Obama can claim to have passed health-care and the Wrongo Republicans can’t say it didn’t get done.

It’s a very bad bill, we have to accept for the time being because the Democrats in charge are weak-knee’d and spineless. The republicans suck ass and we, the mainstream of America get scrwed!

Oh – did I mention the mandate that all people must purchase insurance? Yep, if you don’t there’s a fine…So you have to buy insurance but there are no cost controls…How’s that work??? And people…it’s not comparable to needed to buy auto-insurance. 1st of all, you don’t HAVE to drive. 2nd, required auto insurance is for the vehicle, not the person, and finally, it’s to protect people you were to cause damage to. This is a whole sell-out to give people to the insurance companies, who are making record profits anyways…

How to make it better? here’s a list: 1) Can’t drop people 2)Strict price controls 3)Can’t DENY coverage (that’s a biggie – if a doctor says you need it, you should get it, and it should be paid for…end of story!)

Oh, I could go on if I had more time but I don’t! I’ll end by saying, America is a first class country. We should be the BEST at everything, but at health-care we suck! #28 and falling! We should DEMAND better health-care!

Don’t be a Dick!

You know every so often, kinda like Groundhog Day, America has this huge critter, a pest if you will, who pokes his head out, checks for his shadow, and delcares, “6 more months of terror!”  This man wants you to be afraid, he and his party need you to be afraid, yet…it was he and his cronies that took away all things we held sacred as Americans by allowing NUMEROUS terrorist attacks on our great country.

Of course you remember 9/11/01, and for most of you, unfortunaltey that’s all you remember…But a few months later was a still unsolved Anthrax attack…a shoe bomber, an American Taliban member…all while the past administration kept you “safe” and took away our liberites…Well, now we’re feeling better again, so out comes this “penguin” wanna be to scare us right back in, or worse, to use it for political gain for the republican party…I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again DICK, “Don’t go away mad, just go away!”

Come on good people, Don’t be a Dick!
