Response to "Health Care Reform and You", NY Times editorial, July 25, 2009:
The corrupt heatlhcare "reform" plan wending its way through Congress will in fact HURT many who are now covered. The 1000+page bill will require that everyone buy insurance, and will pay subsidies directly to insurance companies to help pay for those "in need". Eliminating rejection for prior conditions will make premiums more expensive for those already covered by private insurance. Paying for subsidies will raise taxes, and, to further help pay for these subsidies, Medicare benefits will be cut drastically.
All just to keep the healthcos happily in business imposing their 45% markup on actual healthcare delivery. So the notion that those already covered, whether by private insurance or by Medicare, will benefit from the "reform" scam about to be foisted on us by the insurance companies is therefore false, another lie in a blizzard of lies spewed out to sell a deeply flawed plan.
Single payer Medicare For All costs less and covers everybody. HR 676 is 27 pages long vs. the bloated 1000+ pages of the the House plan. Single payer is efficient, economical and ethical. Why can't we have it? Because Congress heeds donors, not voters. Healthcare "reform" marks the end of the republic. Oligarchy is clearly supplanting democracy.
