obamacare house vote

hello friends,this is congressman patrick mchenry coming to you from my office. i'm heading over tothe house floor now to join my colleagues in taking a major step in keeping our pledgeto america. by voting to repeal obama's job-destroying health care law, obamacare as we well knowis a budget buster, costing billions of dollars in higher, new taxes while at the same timeadding to the national debt. just yesterday president obama spoke out against this anti-business,burdensome federal regulations that plague our federal government, however this healthcarebill would create over ten thousand pages of new regulations, should it be fully implemented.i challenge him to join with us in the house of representatives in listening to the americanpeople and support the repeal and replacement

of this law with common sense reforms thatactually lower the healthcare costs. simply put, this law costs too much and adds to theeconomic uncertainty facing our nation's job creators. new taxes to the tune of 570 billiondollars and a new employer mandate will only make things worse for small businesses. congressneeds to be in the business of eliminating barriers to job creation not adding to them.thank you for the opportunity to work for you, and thank you for the opportunity tovote to repeal obamacare. thanks so much and god bless.

good morning hank, it's tuesday. i want totalk today about why healthcare costs in the united states are so phenomenally, fascinatinglyexpensive, but first i have to blow your mind: alright, so you've probably heard that thereason that people enjoy "free" healthcare in australia and the uk and canada, etc, etcis that they pay higher taxes. that money then goes into a big pot and is used to payfor people's healthcare, but in fact, in the us, we spend more tax money per capita onhealthcare than germany, australia, the uk, or canada. that's right hank: you pay more in taxes forhealthcare than you would if you were british, and in exchange for those taxes, you get nohealthcare.

in fact, only about 28% of americans get theirhealth insurance through government funded programs, mostly poor people, old people,and congresspeople. but as you can see in this graph our private healthcare spending(most americans are privately insured through their employers) is way higher than anywhereelse in the world. in total, the us currently spends about 18% of its gross domestic product on healthcare costs. australia by comparison? 9%. why is this? well because everything costsmore, which seems obvious, but apparently isn't, because every article you read is like"oh it's because of malpractice insurance" or "it's because we're obese" or we go tothe doctor too much or people are prescribed

too many medications. well, not really. it's because everything costs more. a hipreplacement in belgium costs $13,000. in the us it's often over $100,000. colonoscopiesaverage over $1100 a piece in the us; in switzerland they're $655. and on average a month of thedrug lipitor will cost you $124 if you live in the us. if you live in new zealand? $7. now we are also—not to brag—richer thanall of these countries, so it makes sense that we should spend a little more on healthcare.but we don't spend a little more. we spend a ton more. and vitally, we don't get anythingfor that money, which means we are essentially paying people to dig holes and then fill thoseholes back up. like we don't live longer—in

fact we're 33rd in life expectancy—and ineverything from asthma to cancer, according to one recent nonpartisan study, american healthcareoutcomes are "not notably superior." so why are we spending all of this money fornothing? well first, let's discuss some of the problems that are not actually problems. for instance, the problem is not so-called"overutilization:" the idea that americans go to the doctor more and get more tests andspend more time in hospitals. we know this because americans actually go to the doctorless than europeans and spend much less time in hospitals, although to be fair, you canstay in a dutch hospital for seven nights for what it costs to stay in an american hospitalfor one night, so no wonder we're hesitant.

also it is not because we're sicker than otherpeople. everyone likes to blame obesity on our rising healthcare costs, but yeah, no.that argument is just not supported by data. for one thing, disease prevalence does notaffect healthcare costs that much. and for another thing, while we do have more obesityin the united states, which sometimes leads to health problems, we have fewer smokersand less alcohol consumption (really? apparently yes). so that saves us a little money, andif you compare us to like the british or the french, in the end it's probably a wash. hank, the truth, as usual, is complex. like,there are obvious inefficiencies in our healthcare system. for instance, not everyone has insurance.if you don't have insurance, you still get

healthcare, but you're responsible for payingfor that healthcare, which often you can't do, so you end up going bankrupt. that sucksfor you, obviously, because you're bankrupt, but it also sucks for the rest of us becausewe have to pay not only for your care, but also for all the money the hospital spenttrying to get you to pay for your care. also the only options available to uninsured peopleare usually the most expensive options, like emergency rooms, which is just bananas. but thoseinefficiencies are hard to measure. fortunately, there are things we can measure. so like i said before, because the us is oneof the richest countries in the world, you would expect us to pay a little more for healthcarethan most people. the question is, when do

we pay more than you would expect us to pay,and that turns out to be pretty interesting. let's start with malpractice and so-called"defensive medicine." the idea here is that doctors are scared of huge malpractice suitsso they order a lot of unnecessary tests in order to, like, cover their butts. thatdoes contribute to our healthcare costs, like there are more mri and ct scans in the usthan anywhere else. however, there are a bunch of states like texas that have passed tortreform to limit malpractice suits, and in those states healthcare costs have droppedby an average of a whopping 0.1%. the biggest estimates for the total costs of defensivemedicine put it at around 55 billion dollars, which is a lot of money, but only 2% of our totalhealthcare costs.

another smallish factor: doctors (and to alesser extent, nurses) are paid more in the us than they are in other countries, and bymy possibly-faulty math we end up spending about 75 billion dollars more than you wouldexpect us to there. and then we have the cost of insurance andadministration costs, like paperwork and marketing and negotiating prices. that's about 90 billiondollars more than you would expect us to spend. we spend about $100 billion more than youwould expect on drugs, not so much because we take more of them, but because the oneswe take cost more per pill. okay, and now for the big one. i'm gonna lumpinpatient and outpatient care together, because in the us we do a lot of things as outpatientprocedures, like gallbladder surgeries, that

are often inpatient procedures in other hospitals.we're just gonna make a big ball [gestures]. that big ball is $500 billion more than whatyou would expect given the size of our economy. per year. why? because in the united states we do not negotiateas aggressively as other countries do with healthcare providers and drug manufacturersand medical device makers. so like in the uk the government goes out to all the peoplewho make artificial hips and says "one of you is going to get to make a crapton of fakehips for everybody who is covered by the nhs here in the united kingdom. but you bettermake sure your hips are safe, and you better make sure that they are cheap, because otherwisewe're going to give our business to a different

company." and then all the fake hip companiesare motivated to offer really low prices because it's a really huge contract. like think ifyour company got to put hips inside of everyone in england and scotland and walesand northern ireland (i guess not everyone. just the people who need hips). but in the us we don't have any of that centralizednegotiation, so we don't have as much leverage. the only big exception is medicare, the government-fundedhealthcare for old people, which, not coincidentally, always gets the lowest prices. so basically, hank, in the united states,providers charge whatever they think they can get away with, and they can get away witha lot, because it's really difficult to put

a price on, like, not dying. this is a phenomenoncalled "inelastic demand," like if you tell me that this drug will save my life costs$7 a month, i will pay you $7 a month for it. if you tell me that it costs $124 a month,i will find a way to find $124 a month to pay for it. you can't negotiate effectivelyon your own behalf for healthcare services because you need them. and not like you needa macbook air or the new season of sherlock, but actual, physical need (i guess it is likethe new season of sherlock). so basically, hank, until and unless we cannegotiate as effectively with the people providing healthcare as australians and british peopledo, us healthcare costs will continue to rise faster than anywhere else in the world andwe won't get better healthcare outcomes.

hank, i know this video is long, althoughit could have been much longer, but i am so tired of people offering up simple explanationsfor what's wrong with our healthcare system. they say "oh, it's malpractice," or "it'sdoctors who must also be businesspeople" or "it's insurance companies" or "it's insanerules for who can get insurance." it's drug companies, it's government bureaucracy, it'san inability to negotiate prices. yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes! it is all of those thingsand more! it is not a simple problem, there will not be a simple solution, but it is probablythe biggest single drag on the american economy and it's vital that we grapple with it meaningfullyinstead of just treating healthcare costs as political theatre.

so i hope i've at least introduced the complexityof the problem. i've put some thoroughly nonpartisan links in the doobly-doo for further reading.hank, welcome back to the united states. as you can see, everything is peachy here. i'llsee you on friday. friendly reminder, educational videos are allowed to be more than four minutes long. all of the people who are commenting about how punished i am did not watch to the end of the video.i feel dizzy.

obamacare health

[music] let's face it folks, the new health care reformlaw is com-plex. it runs about a 1,000 pages even in tiny print. so it's no surprise that very few americanshave actually read it. but it's about to affect all of us, and manyhave been wondering what it will mean for our health, our wallets and our country. let's say we take all 310 million americansand squish us down to just 25 people. yep, each of these folks would represent about12 million of us. and this is pretty much what we'd look like.

polls show about three out of ten of us sayhealth care reform will make us better off, a similar number say worse off, and a similarnumber again say it won't make much difference at all. some of us don't know what to think. i guessyou could say we're kinda split on this one. but no matter where you stand on the issue,it's likely you're thinking, "hello? i got some basic questions still unanswered here." and you deserve real answers, not the partisanrhetoric and spin we've been flooded with. so let's break down what the reform law doesand doesn't do and what it will cost. if you want to read the whole law, go ahead. butwatching this video is the next best thing.

ready to jump in? let's begin with the problems in our currenthealth care system. problem number one is, what problem number one usually is, money. most people agree that health insurance policiesare too expensive. for a family, the average premium is almost$14,000 dollars a year…and growing. premiums have doubled over the last nine years, ballooningway faster than inflation! plus, our population is aging, meaning morepeople with more health problems. so, health care costs are the fastest growing part ofthe federal budget. the second problem is that the system is fullof holes. like the fact that people buying

insurance on their own can be turned downfor having a pre-existing health condition. small businesses may be charged extra if someof the workers are sick, making insurance unaffordable. and some insurance policieshave a lifetime limit on benefits. after that, you're out of luck. that means some of the people least likelyto have coverage are the ones who need it most. nice, huh? high costs and holes in the system mean morethan one in seven of us have no health insurance to protect us at all. many more struggle to pay their bills andcan only afford bare minimum policies that

may not cover much. high costs to households, strain on the federalbudget and people with no protection. it's easy to see why many people were lookingfor something different. so here's what the health reform law plansto do in its first phase, between now and 2014. to start dealing with costs, insurers willbe limited in how they spend our premium dollars. if they use too much for administrative costsor profits, they'll be forced to give some of it back through rebates. this won't stoppremium increases, but it may help some. some services will become free in all newprivate insurance policies, and in medicare

-- preventive care like screenings and vaccinations.[baby crying] people on medicare, because they're over 65or disabled, will get more help with their drug costs. young people can save money and stay insuredby remaining on their parents' policies up to age 26. and some small businesses will get tax breaksto help them pay for health insurance for their workers. and the holes? well, some will be closed startingnow too. lifetime limits on health coverage will be gone, whether you buy insurance onyour own or get it from your employer.

and it will be illegal to turn kids down forhaving a pre-existing health condition, like asthma or diabetes. of course, some adults who buy insurance ontheir own will still be getting rejected between now and 2014. but those who do can enter somethingcalled a high-risk pool, run by the government. no, it's more like a policy that covers thesickest uninsured people, meaning it's riskier for insurance companies. that's why the governmentwill chip in some money to bring down the cost. some say these high-risk pools will help alot of people. others say these pools will still be too expensive, and may not have enoughgovernment money to stay in business until

they're replaced by something better, in phaseii. on new year's day 2014, some big changes kickin. [cheers] first, let's look at how the law makes healthcare more affordable. medicaid will be expanded to cover all low-incomeindividuals and families in every state. and depending on what you make, if you loseyour job or your employer doesn't provide decent coverage, you may get a health insurancetax credit. and while most of us will continue to gethealth insurance at work just like now, if you don't have that option, you'll be ableto buy coverage in what's called an "exchange." you'll be hearing a lot about them, so let'sstop and look at how they work.

an exchange is like a virtual insurance mega-mall.based on where you live, you'll get an easy-to-understand menu of options to compare plans in plainenglish. and the exchange makes sure insurance companies compete fairly under strict rules. the idea is that by giving consumers goodinformation, a fair playing field and access to lots of choices, competition among insurerswill keep rates competitive. now, onto plugging the holes. in 2014 insurerswill no longer be able to turn people down or charge them more if they're sick. you might say, hold on a minute, if i can'tbe turned down or charged more, why not just wait until i get sick or injured to buy insuranceat all?

not so fast buddy. see, with few exceptions,people will be required to have insurance or pay a special tax. same with larger businesses,who will pay fines if they don't insure their workers. of course, nobody likes being told they haveto buy anything. but without this rule, experts say you can't require that everyone be eligiblefor coverage. imagine telling home insurers they have to cover people whose houses arealready on fire! so the government will provide credits, expandedprograms and new rules. they say that by 2019, 32 million of us who don't have health insurancewill have it. some of those who will still be uninsured: undocumented immigrants, whoaren't eligible for coverage under the law.

no surprise, all this is going to cost money.938 billion dollars over the next ten years, according to the congressional budget office,the impartial referee when congress debates these kinds of things. it's a lot of money, sure, but if you lookat it another way, it's 2% of our federal budget, and 3% of what we'll be spending onhealth care overall. now, the president and congress insisted thesenew costs will be paid for so they don't push the budget deficit up any further. that meansmoney will come out of someone's pocket. that's where the tough politics come in. a lot of the savings will come from healthcare providers and insurers in the medicare

program. the fees the government pays to hospitalsunder medicare won't be allowed to rise as fast as they have been. and, insurance companies that provide servicesto people on medicare will be paid less. medicare will also create a bunch of experimentsaround the country to test different ways of paying doctors, hospitals and other providersto make the health care system more efficient, and improve the quality of care. with luck some of these experiments will work,and then be adopted by the private sector and help lower costs for employers and familiestoo.

plus, a new federal advisory board will makerecommendations about other ways to deal with increases in health care costs. some taxes will go up too. people with highearnings will pay higher medicare taxes. there will be new taxes on insurers and businesseswho offer high-end benefit plans, and on companies that make medical devices and drugs.and oh, anyone who visits a tanning salon now has to pay a new tax too. with these new cost-cutting measures and newtaxes, the congressional budget office says the whole package will actually reduce thefederal deficit over the next ten years. of course, the total federal deficit is expectedto run into the trillions, so the health reform

law isn't going to solve that problem. well, that's the reform law. do you love it,hate it, still don't know? either way, there's still a lot of work ahead.you'll be hearing lots of different things about this law. some people support reform,and if anything want to expand it and increase government oversight of insurers and the healthcare industry. others oppose it, and think it creates toobig a role for the government. some states have even gone to court claimingthe requirement that everyone buy insurance is unconstitutional. politicians and pundits will be talking toyou as if you've got no idea what's in that

thousand-page law. but by watching this, you're on your way togetting informed. and you can make sure your friends and familyare too, just by passing this little video around.

who qualifies for an affordable care act exemption? the affordable care act requires most americans to have health insurance or pay a tax penalty. but, who qualifies for an exemption? members of certain religious groups opposed to insurance, federally recognized indian tribes, health care sharing ministries and those currently incarcerated are exempt, but you may also be exempt from the tax penalty if you're experiencing financial or life hardships. for example, you may be exempt if the lowest insurance premium available to you is more than eight percent of your household income, or if you're facing foreclosure, filing bankruptcy,

or your property was significantly damaged in a disaster. other situations may qualify you for an exemption, as well. you're automatically exempt if you don't have to file a federal income tax return because your income is too low. depending on the reason, you may claim your exemption in one of two ways: either apply for a certificate of exemption from the marketplace or simply claim the exemption on your tax return at the end of the year. most exemptions must be applied for through the marketplace. but, if you're applying based on coverage affordability,

membership in a health care sharing ministry, federally-recognized indian tribe or incarceration, you may claim the exemption on your federal tax return. still have questions about who qualifies for an affordable care act exemption? visit turbotax.com to learn more about the affordable care act and how it may affect your taxes.

hey, everybody. it's me, ben. and today's question isspecific to the united states. how does the affordable careact work, and what does it do? although its full nameis the patient protection and affordable careact, you've probably heard it just calledthe affordable care act, or obamacare, or the aca. it's called obamacare becausepresident barack obama signed

it into law on march 23, 2010. but what does it actually do? let's look at the basics. health care in the united stateshas some serious long term issues. first, there are millionsof uninsured people. second, people whodo have insurance tend to pay morefor it than they would in othercomparable countries.

the aca aims to fix these issuesby making affordable health care available tomore americans. i mean, that's agood idea, right? to do this, the act makessome pretty big changes. but although the act makesome big changes to insurance, these changes phasein over time instead of happening all at once. a lot of things willalso stay the same. for example, if you already havehealth insurance that you're

happy with, you cankeep it under this law. and children under the age of 26can stay on their parents plan. if you already havemedicaid coverage, then you're goingto stay on that too. or you can if you wish. in fact, manystates are expanding medicaid to cover more people. so now, let's talkabout what's changing. there are several things.

first there's this thingcalled the individual mandate. most americans willbe required to have some form of health insurance. this is a sweeping change fora country with an estimated 30 million uninsured residents. but how do you enforcesomething like that? by 2014, everyonewithout health insurance will need to pay a small fee. during that year, for instance,the fee is going to be $95 per

adult, $47.50 per child. the maximum a familywill pay in 2014 is $285. now, those numbers are over thewhole year, not month by month. to make sure that people canfind affordable insurance, the aca creates what are calledhealth insurance marketplaces. these are virtual spaces runby the federal government, or by your state,where customers can see different plansand prices offered by insurance providers.

so ultimately, thismight allow you to qualify for lowerpremiums, depending on your income andyour family size. and regardless of whatkind of insurance you have, insurers will no longerbe able to deny or revoke coverage forpreexisting conditions. and women won't have to pay morethan men for insurance either. finally, right? insurance will alsocover preventative care.

so this would bestuff like mammograms, and checkups, andscreenings, and so on. then there's the 80/20 rule. insurers will generally berequired to spend at least 80% of the money theyget from premiums on-- wait for it--actual health care. if your insurer spendstoo much on overhead, then you're goingto receive a rebate. finally, the laws also requirecompanies to publicly justify

rate increases of over 10%. and they are banned fromimposing lifetime dollar limits on benefits. this act also affectsyour employer, whether you work for a largecompany or a smaller company. a smaller business, onewith less than 50 employees, can visit the small businesshealth options program, or-- get this-- shop. right?

a government loves an acronym--to compare and purchase affordable health plans. additionally, someof these businesses might be eligiblefor tax credits if they get coveragethrough shop. the rules are a littlebit different for bigger businesses. in 2015, they haveto make what's called an employer sharedresponsibility payment if they

don't provide insurance meetinga minimum value standard, or if one of theiremployees gets a better deal in the individualmarketplace. since states are implementingthe act in different ways, it's very importantfor you to check on the specific plansof your home state. so that's it. if you'd like to learn morespecifics about the affordable care act, check outwww.healthcare.gov

obamacare document

transcript:hi, everybody. if you’ve ever played a game of basketballin a gym, or entered a contest in school, or started a small business in your hometown,you know that competition is a good thing. it pushes us to do our best. and you know that a fight is fair only wheneverybody has a chance to win, when the playing field is level for everybody, and the rulesare clear and consistent. that’s important to our consumers, our workers,our employers, and our farmers. you deserve a fair shake, even though theremight be much bigger players in the market. without a truly competitive marketplace, thosebig companies can raise costs, or slack off

on offering good service, or keep their workers’wages too low. and in an era when large corporations oftenmerge to form even larger ones, our leaders have an even greater responsibility to lookout for us as consumers. to keep america’s economy growing and america’sbusinesses thriving, we need to protect the principle of fair competition. that’s not, by the way, a democratic ideaor a republican idea – it’s an american idea, because it’s the best way to makesure the best ideas rise to the top. my administration has done a lot to keep themarketplace fair. we defended a free, open, and accessible internetthat doesn’t let service providers pick

winners and losers. we cracked down on conflicts of interest bymaking sure professionals who give you retirement advice do so in your best interest, not intheirs. and in the last few months, we’ve made evenmore progress. this week, my department of agriculture tookmajor steps to protect farmers from unfair treatment by bigger processors. these rules will help swine, beef cattle,and especially poultry growers who have fewer choices in where they sell their products. this month, the fda started taking steps tomake hearing aids more affordable for more

than the nearly 30 million americans sufferingfrom the frustration of hearing loss. we think people with moderate hearing lossshould be able to buy a hearing aid over the counter as easily as you can buy reading glassesat your local pharmacy. this year we also addressed two other problemsthat keep workers and wages down: the overuse of non-compete agreements that hurt workersin the job market, and the unfair practices of companies that collude to set wages belowthe market rate. and we backed new steps, including a law ijust signed to fight robot scalpers that artificially drive up ticket prices, and a rule that requiresairlines to reimburse your baggage fees if your bags don’t make it to your destinationwhen you do.

finally, it’s this principle of competitionthat’s at the very heart of our health reform. in fact, it’s the reason we call it theaffordable care act; it makes insurance companies compete for your business, which is helpingmillions afford the care that helps them get and stay healthy. by the way, it’s open enrollment seasonright now. you can still sign up on healthcare.gov untiljanuary 31st and get covered for 2017. our free-market economy only works when there’scompetition. and competition only works when rules arein place to keep it fair and open and honest. whether you’re building the next big thingor just want to be treated right as a customer,

that’s good for you and good for the country. thanks everybody, and have a great weekend.

obamacare details

bill clinton was speaking inflint, michigan, and the issue of obamacare came up, and hesaid some curious things that were not in support of obamacarewhatsoever. >>the people getting killed inthis deal are small business people and individuals who makejust a little too much to get any of these subsidies. why? because they aren't organized, they don't have any marketingpower with insurance companies,

and they are getting whacked. soyou've got this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 millionmore people have healthcare, and then the people that are outthere busting it sometimes 60 hours a week wind up with theirpremiums doubled and their coverage cut in half. it's the craziest thing in theworld. >>what? what just happened?

bythe way, his criticism is not wrong, there are severe issueswith obamacare, which is something that came up quite abit during the primaries. bernie sanders was very clear about thefact that he wanted universal healthcare, he wanted to improveupon the healthcare system we have in place now because it'snot working for some people. there are good things that camealong with obamacare, but a lot of bad things as well if you askme.

including the fact that you are forced to buy privateinsurance. >>those are the same complaintswe had in the middle of the obamacare fight. we said thisthing is too right-wing, it makes us buy private insurance. in fact we know that because it was a right-wing idea from theheritage foundation, a right-wing conservative think tank, it wasinstituted in massachusetts by

mitt romney. these are the falsechoices we have, you go with mitt romney or barack obama,romneycare or obamacare, those choices. the same thing. if youare protesting obamacare on those grounds, i hear you. but ithink bill clinton even if we are taking it from a progressivestandpoint, although i don't

think that's where he came from,went too far. talking about doubling rates, that's not true. >>didn't some people have theirpremiums double? i don't know if you can find one or two cases ofthat, but en masse it was not doubled. but before obamacare,prices were also going up. i

think if obamacare had a publicoption they could've contained some cost issues, instead itdidn't. what is amazing about this story though is that hewould say this in the middle of a presidential run, just a littleover 30 days left, his wife is running for president, his wifebacks obamacare 100%, president obama is set to give a speechtomorrow in florida defending obamacare. >>drahms. >>and bill clinton undercutsboth barack obama and his

own wife running for president,that's a crazy thing to say in the middle of the campaign. >>i know what is happening,bill clinton is secretly a trumpet supporter. >>there are three possibilitiesas to why he says this. bill clinton is not coming from aprogressive perspective, he doesn't back a public option. possibility number one is bill

clinton is a pretty conservativeguy, that's why a lot of progressives didn't like him aspresident. he ended welfare, he increased the prison industrialcomplex, a lot of people weren't in favor of that, i get it. hedidn't have to, he deregulated the banks, that was hideouslyconservative. the simplest idea is he is attacking obamacarelike conservatives would because

he's largely conservative. center-right. not crazy right, but center-right. the secondtheory is he's losing it. this theory is out there, i'm not theone who came up with it. that's why they don't have him on thecampaign trail so much.

you think bill clinton, he should beon the trail nonstop. wasn't he one of the greatest americanpoliticians, certainly of our lifetimes? whether or not youagree with him he knew how to appeal to the american people,progressives and conservatives at the same time, but he's noton the campaign trail as much as you would expect because he is aloose cannon.

is it because of age, etc.? we don't know. ithink the third theory is the best one, which is that he hassuch a gigantic ego, he can't help himself. so when he is outthere, he wants to undercut obama because in his mind, i wasa better president, i was a better president.

there is alsoanother theory out there talked about not on air often butdefinitely behind the scenes that he's ambivalent abouthillary clinton's run. like, i'm the guy who made it, i'm the onewho was president, i'm the one who got everything. now you are playing poppsychology, i get it. >>it's all speculation, let's beclear about that. i'm

uncomfortable with all of thosetheories, i don't know if any of them are true, the only thingthat i do know is true is that he said what he said, and what ifind so interesting is that hillary clinton's constant lineof attack against sanders was that he wanted to repealobamacare, which he did not want to do. he never said he wantedto, he simply said obamacare has significant flaws and we needuniversal healthcare. and that

was again a point of attack forhillary clinton. and i think it helps her to some extent in theprimaries, it helped her get votes. then you have yourhusband talking shit about obamacare, and not only that, inthe past hillary clinton herself was criticizing obamacare. that's the part that bothers me the most, the fakeness thathappened in the primaries, the

manipulation and lies thathappened in the primaries, now we are left with a situationwhere we have one republican candidate who is so hideous thatyou feel like you have to support the democratic candidatethat you are angry and upset about for being a liar andmanipulating people during the primaries. i don't know, that isthe part that drives me crazy. >>the bottom line, the clintonsget into office -- do you think they are going to make obamacaremore progressive?

that is not how it appears. you can say all you want about-- and i did -- about why bill clinton mighthave done this, but you can't argue if this ishis real opinion. it is, no question. he wouldn'tsay it if it wasn't his real opinion. his opinion is,obamacare is too progressive, i

would make it more conservative. he got in trouble for the same thing in 2013, he talked abouthow we need to turn to the republicans to help fixobamacare. they are conservative at their heart, they are notinsanely conservative like trump, but they arecenter-right. if some of you go that's it, i'm voting againstthe clintons, i get it.

but at the same time, center-right isterrible and that's why we fought it and will fight it, andi would be shocked if there were not a primary against hillaryclinton and i would be shocked if she didn't merit it in 2020. is it worse than insane right? no, it's not worse than insaneright, it's slightly better than insane right, or maybe a lotbetter than insane right. but it

doesn't make it correct, sothat's what i would encourage sanity, which is, don't lettrump win, but buyer beware on the clintons. it is not like theminute they get into office -- you know what the media will do,the media will yell at us and say you have to be fair to them,give them two or three or four years before you ever judgethem. i know what i'm getting, i've had 40 years, i know whatthe clintons are.

yes, we fight them on day one. but don't dowhat bill clinton is doing, which is fight them right now. he is undermining her own campaign and it's unbelievable.

obamacare coverage plans

>> 3rd congressman: uh, hello? >> obama: i rarely make these calls and i truly apologize-- >> 3rd congressman: ha ha, you're funny, you'refunny.

obamacare congress vote

we have decision without decision thesupreme court there's a lot of healthcare law all-volunteer level or not oh all people chief justice john roberts so i thinkwith all of rose uh... there is so different parts ofthis bill first of all the construct on the entire bill they did not they construct our mandate

they did not they said hey you know what we don't think they have the power to dothis on the commerce clause of but at least john roberts said this it can be considered a tax and tax isperfectly constitutional so it survives they struck down a smallpart of it which is medicaid expansion the state's if you have a choice onwhether they go along with that or not that might affect some people in thecountry they might not get uh... health care coverage because ofthat but overall it's a small portion of

the bill so that largely survives intact one of the implications of this and i myhappy or not first of all chief justice john roberts who of course is conservative in israel conservativealmost in every case gets a rule conservator the breast oftime does he get always for backup come on now unreported correct we won'tbother that all live and forever watchmen pundits willconsider a moderate pace on this will

lead to lower and it is a perfectly political decisionin that he you know this is saying hey you knowwhat looted as i've alluded democrats and thepope court was not partisan and he made sure of saying that in thedecision you see how this is not about partisanpolitics right uh... now of course as i said it by someleeway to be professor from every other decision in the world

and at the same time is actually a procorporate decisions remember the mandate is a conservative idea recently cookedup by the heritage foundation supported by richard nixon george asevere bush mit romney etcetera it forces you to buy corporate healthinsurance so it's not like roberts actually violates his ideologiesideologies pro corporate as a pro career decision so it's a when a lot of weight now does that mean that i mean guesses as itnow

by www patriot and run look i don't like the mandate i've saida million times there is a right wing idea there's a lot of this healthcarelaw i don't like i'm really split on it overall elwin is a win and i'll tell you why i think that if uh... the supreme court struck this down there would have been in general hopelessness

among democrats and pr in evenprogressives that would've been really hard toovercome it would have seen like i don't knowwhat we do they find a way to strike it downwhether through politics for the supreme court et cetera we can see no-win and ithink that that would have been devastating so we avoided thatinsulation on the democratic side i think you should be a little bit calmerthan they are but you know what is much better than the alternative were with work which is not a similardid complete despair

so now the other thing is you win bytwenty and it's a small victory you know it the issue as companies arestill in charge they cancel charge whatever they want nonetheless i'll take it it's muchbetter than a law class so i i i'm in favor of the decision andit was the right thing to do uh... finally the conservatives flowers summit ronnie goes others can youbelieve they will demand a prostitute but you have any in your company perhapsa two-thirds

an internal problems of hypocrisy here and let the other reason i'm happy aboutthe victory is because they're or good things in thehealth care bill that's why i'm split split doesn't mean i'm totally againstthat there are things that i like in the billis a covers preexisting conditions you know how popular dance eighty two percent of countries in favorof that in fact going to conserve reactionheaded by vice president obama but all now you want to reallycampaigning to about

this issue of health care have added cost i thought they knew that i think on straight on pre-existingconditions you are against everybody being covered on that i'm in favor ofeveryone being covered porch i've got a new mazone people on my side you are all let's do it looks like utah collectionabout it and i will take your ass off

eighty two percent agree with us on thativory with that it's great to cover pre-existingconditions you know you're about to get a billiondollar rebate not all of you of course but about thirteen million familiesbecause all part of the law is uh... insurance companies must spendeighty percent of the money they get from you on your health care they can't take it home in profits abovetwenty percent there's management and marketing within that twenty percent toso there have to actually go one point

one billion dollar rebate on average for the average familyhistory but it's not going to be one knows in your pocket so they're very good things in this billdo you get the rebate you got the pre-existing conditions and then are more people that he had health care you know it looks like about thirtymillion people the medicaid provision by the fact that a little bit but overall let's see if we can work andi hope that in the and that this health

care bill actually proves me wrong but is starts to get implemented astep-by-step would get so much better place something like medicare for all ormaybe the super i don't know if it's going to go there i don't know if it's going to work but i do know that i'd like to give it achance and i don't mind and want to kill in the crib here and the supreme courtavoided that so i'm elated on that count and then uh... finally

at so you could serve the reaction but because her wrist weeding today there on satisfying rent out our blogcare alberta canada workforce they would have socialized medicine never underestimate the stupidity ofconservatives in america victory in america today

obamacare bill

the house has successfully passed thegop sponsor to you can keep your health care plan bill at 261 to 157 on near unanimous supportfrom the gop and also thirty-nine democrats to passwho crossed party lines to support this bill now %ah this might seem if you don't doyou know the details like a good thing obama did say he intends to extend the the plans have been cancelledfour-year but this bill goes beyond that and what the democrats would have simplymade it for the people who already had

those plans this would allow those insurancecompanies to also sell those plans to new customers four-year and as we are sure will happenin a year they will attempt to push it even farther in the future and so up it has passed obama has said that he will be no if itgets to his desk which is not certain anyway since the senate might well vote it downi'm worried that this is the beginning

of disaster like dot this might be thegreat unraveling because e once you say hey you know what per year we're gonna delay a you knowyou can still get a good although all plans a while the healthy poker though aregonna say well my older plan was less expensive right i got less at abut i'm healthy i'm young so i don't really needed that much imiss a word so you lose a lot of the healthy younger people so then the premiums go up and

when the premiums go up in the exchangesin the exchanges rate then you've got a bigger issue and in anairline yesterday in the shop by six different reasons why its a disc created shiet mess not just the republican plan that justpassed the house but even president obama say i'm gonna do it for only one year so asi was reading all the articles on this i was thinking 0

0 well there's a big difference betweenstill numb there may be an issue with what the president wants to do overthere is a big issue between allowing that because it's such a smallnumber of people i mean it's a big number of people at a very smallpercentage not commit a lot people scott ritter nom her yet the word on the street so thatthat if you let the what is it three or four percent of people a who are affected by this year byprivate insurance and his plans dan who were not able tokeep their plans because their plans

were insufficient if you let them we let them and most to them end upkeeping the plan that's a big difference than allowing other people to buy thesecheap lousy plant so i don't think did the opposition at least right now to the gop additional letting people by and i seems pretty strong right now i mean areas john selling the gets to the senate i mean thirty-nine democrats did cross over though and i personallydon't think that this is going to be a

very significant issue a year from now when we're gonna takenthe midterm elections but that's the way it's being portrayed bothby politicians and my people media this is the issue and look how fastwe've moved on from the government shutdown fight in avictory the democrats and the victory over obama who stood strong against the republicans will when we have a two-weekreprieve and now we're we're back in the thick of this repeal fight and and would just jump on what you saidbefore on

people often call us here at ehealth whenthey're moving to a new city or state. we're licensed in all 50 states and know how tohelp you change your old health plan for one that serves your new area. the next annual open enrollment period -- whenanyone can add or change their health coverage - is currently scheduled to begin on november15 of this year. outside the annual open enrollment period,the affordable care act (obamacare) considers a move to a new coverage area -- that is anarea that your current health insurance policy does not serve -- to be a qualifying eventthat triggers a special enrollment period. the special enrollment period gives you 60days from the date of your move to change

to a new health plan. when you apply for your new coverage, it'sa good idea to have some proof of your address change, like a copy of a residential utilitybill, rent receipt, or mortgage statement with your name on it -- just in case yournew insurance company requires it for verification. as long as you apply for new coverage within60-days, your application for health coverage cannot be declined. be aware that all new major medical heathplans provide certain popular benefits with no out of pocket costs like:- dietary counseling and screenings for weight management- tobacco and alcohol screenings, counseling

and help quitting- and recommended mental health and illness prevention tests and screenings -- to namea few if you miss your 60-day special election period,you may not be able to enroll in a major medical health plan until the next open enrollmentperiod. and, it's likely your coverage could not beginbefore january 1 of next year. if you miss the 60-day deadline, we encourageyou to look at short-term health coverage as an alternative, to gain some measure ofprotection until you're eligible to apply for major medical coverage again during theopen enrollment period. short-term coverage does not meet the requirements of obamacare,so you may still be subject to a tax penalty.
