OBAMACARE REJECTED down's syndrome child - WBAP 820 - Sean Hannity (this afternoon)

Interim High Risk Pool could run out of money before 2014

That’s the conclusion of a recently issued paper by the National Institute for Health Care Reform. The paper warns that while 5.6 million to 7 million Americans may qualify for the pool, the $5 billion the Act allocated may be enough to cover only 200,000 people a year. “Policy makers will need to tailor eligibility rules, benefits and premiums to stretch the dollars as far as possible,” the paper recommends.

A few major problems with trying to implement a socialist healthcare system this late in the countries history...

Almost 1/4th, maybe even 2/3rds of the population have pre-existing conditions that are going to require costly hospitalization and medications. Where did I get this figure? the obesity rate. Obesity brings a variety of costly and chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney diseases, heart disease, non-alcholic fatty liver disease, higher cancer rates, and mental illness.

If a socialist healthcare system had been implemented about 30 years ago and preventative care was emphasized, it might be a viable option. As of right now its just stupid to even attempt until all of the sick people die off.

That is more than a lot of people make in a year. There is no way that Avonex is worth $48k per year.

Until our government does something about big pharma, they might as well not pretend to do anything.

Which is not likely since they run our government.

Deathpaneled out...

Why go to all the time and expense of trying to deal with the trouble-makers? Time for a little visit to your "health-care provider" for your yearly "flu shot" and you'll have a sudden, tragic, unexpected heart attack.

Problem solved.

I just wish government would get out of our lives.

this sums up everything perfectly

why is it here?
why does it exist?
did any citizens actually vote for this?
how do we KILL IT?

It's "Down syndrome", not "Down's syndrome" .

Yes - insurance companies have been raping this country for years - BUT - if you look at the PROGRESSIVE movement that has been influencing regulations for years, including the "GREEN" movement that successfully lobbied to change alubuterol inhalers (used by asthma and COPD patients among others) - CHANGE them to a kind of inhaler that won't harm the ozone layer - but did not work on a large portion of patients - it's truly disgusting. Everytime I sit behind a truck or school bus sucking in diesel fumes, I think how my father's albtuerol puffer was accused of killing the ozone layer.

Also, OP, this has been all over the news, it's not just one lady calling in to Hannity. The Washington Post, the liberal bastion of ignorance that it is, even reported:

Tens of thousands of Americans who cannot get health insurance because of preexisting medical problems will be blocked from a program designed to help them because funding is running low.

“What we’ve learned through the course of this program is that this is really not a sensible way for the health-care system to be run,” Cohen said.

No shit.

Tens of thousands of people are going to die under Obamacare. There ARE death panels, and Sarah Palin called it first and coined the term after reading the bill. We are screwed.

Under Obamacare, I have to pay at least $225 for my father's Spiriva and $220 for Pulmacort. Now I am using what is left of my 401k to buy this meds. When that runs out...they will want to force him into Social Services and make the taxpayers take care of him.

It was never about helping more people. It's about destroying the country, stomping the Constitution and reducing the population. [link to www.washingtonpost.com]

Down syndrome (DS) or Down's syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a chromosomal condition caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.[1]

I don't want to vote Republican or Democrat. I want to vote for nobody. I want the position to be left vacant.

Just wanted to bump my comment for the majority of people who don't read them.

This was already covered in NUMEROUS MEDIA OUTLETS AS FACT.
Including the link I included to the Washington Post.

The the poster who said they were going to vote 'nobody' instead of Republican or Democrat - I know that is the COOL thing to say these days, but the fact remains that this belongs to BARACK OBAMA and would NOT have been implemented under Romney. You want anarchy - you got the wrong country.

that's correct. So what is this thread talking about?




I would say there were only about 2 or 3 critters of both parties who werent in the pockets of insurance companies. It was a bipartisan sell out,,,, for sure..

if you really want to know what is coming down for the ordinary guy, read this....

The article below is the most comprehensive analysis available of “Obamacare” – the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

It's a mind blower...

On that same general subject, have you heard that Obama has morphed his (temporary) 2012 Campaign organization into a PERMANENT CHARITABLE organization, where any contributions are TAX DEDUCTIBLE, and corporations and private (i.e., "foreign") individuals can "donate" as much as they want to? The regulations are different for a "charitable" organization and a "political" organization. So, it will be easy for them to find all of their previous donors and get them on board the Obama Express. The same guy who ran Obama's re-election campaign is heading up THIS organization.

Sure doesn't sound like Obama plans on going anywhere when THIS term is over, does it?

Have your friends tried to obtain the expensive meds/inhaler through alternative routes? Sometimes you can order things from Canada over the internet. Also, Mexico sells a lot of the same Rx drugs at a lot less. Puerto Rico is another option, a lot of the drugs are actually made there.

This is a corporate govt funded arrangement, sliding scale, multi layered and forced premiums, with obscure tax clawbacks.

Socialist health care, ie universal single payer, this is not...

Why are all the shills from Australia? Like what the fuck are you doing on this forum anyway, I mean what goes on in Australia.

Been saying this, he is the last elected president and will finish off this country in next next 2-4 years with ease.

PLEASE get your friends to try this:

Get the child to drink 8 glasses of WATER a day.

In "Your bodies many cries for water" the dr. who wrote the book has healed THOUSANDS of cases of asthma. It's because the blood becomes like molasses because it needs to be thinned down with WATER.

so the pocket already empty

I need to retitle this thread. Borg Mind control to deal with the veterans we have broken:
Thread: Does Football Cause Pedophilia? Does War?

Is that you Keith Olberman?!?!?

I like (smirk) the fact States can tap into the estates of deceased beneficiaries of Medicaid. Use it and your kids lose their inheritance....

a) OBRA 1993 requires all states that receive Medicaid funding to seek recovery from the estates of deceased individuals who used Medicaid benefits at age 55 or older. It allows recovery for any items or services under the state Medicaid plan going beyond nursing homes and other long-term care institutions. In fact, The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) site says that states have the option of recovering payments for all Medicaid services provided. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) site says at state option, recovery can be pursued for any items covered by the Medicaid state plan.

b) The HHS site has an overview of the Medicaid estate recovery mandate which also says that at a minimum, states must pursue recoveries from the “probate estate,” which includes property that passes to the heirs under state probate law, but states can expand the definition of estate to allow recovery from property that bypasses probate. This means states can use procedures for direct recovery from bank accounts and other funds.

c) Some states use recovery for RX and hospital only as required by OBRA 1993; some recover for a few additional benefits and some recover for all benefits under the state plan. Recovery provides revenue for cash-strapped states and it’s a big business.

Your estate is what you own when you die – your home and what’s in it, other real estate you may own, your bank account, annuities and so on. And even if you have a will, your heirs are chopped liver. Low-income people often have only one major asset – the home in which they live and, in some cases, this has been the family home through several generations.

So what this boils down to is: if you are put into Medicaid – congratulations – you just got a mandated collateral loan if you use Medicaid benefits at age 55 or older! States keep a running tally.

you are correct - they were going to stop taking people with pre existings, was costing too much money. It is sad sad sad. Those of us that saw the dangers of obamcare tried to tell other people . Now they will get a rude awakening.

its was meant to be, dont kid yourselves people... even if we get a republican in the white house next term, obamacare will be here to stay

it was written a looong time ago, people blaming this party or that party are the real imbeciles

SOMEONE is a fucking DUMBASS!

No one JOINS Obamacare. It's a law that forces people to either HAVE healthcare, OR be fined.

It had to have been an insurance provider that rejected the child, and THAT is illegal under the Affordable Care Act, and I hope they're charged for it!!


Geeze, SOME people..






.

And those of us who warned it wasnt universal single payer but a sell out, were laughed at and called Obamabots. We were right, it was a sell out...

Actually she has a very high IQ.

She is beautiful and successful and republican. They have to hate her, tear her down and make her look like an idiot.

Society should be ashamed of itself....and the press for what they did to that woman......

I'm not saying she would have been a great leader, but I'm tired of hearing how dumb she is when nothing is further from the truth.

You can buy the inhalers in Mexico for 12 dollars no prescription.
