I just want to start out saying this is another poorly planned proposal. We don't have money for health care. I do believe people deserve good medical care, but have you read this thing??? 1st off the government is ensuring health care and the board in charge of this are not employed by the government granted some members including the "Health Choices Commissioner" are appointed by the president. Also before carrying out anything the Commissioner has to consult with a few people, if you don't believe this part check out section 143, The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), Indian tribes and tribal organizations, appropriate federal agencies and state agencies. Okay, Indian tribes a little weird but the NAIC is what gets me and I'll tell you why. The NAIC sounds like who you should get to approve actions by the health commission right, hmmm not so much. It doesn't take but a few minutes of research to see who members might be looking to benefit. Quite a few of the members were major players in some insurance companies. It might be easy for them to help out their good old boys club. Hmmm, if I've got buddies that are affected by what I do and they are more than willing to line my pockets to make sure negotiations go their way it doesn't take a genius to figure out what will happen. Okay so lets give them the benefit of the doubt, they know the industry so they are equipped to act on the public's behalf.
Next problem, so I assumed, so naive of me that having a plan meant everyone could receive the same health care, wrong again according to section 1173A. This part of the bill is about electronic transactions to determine an individuals responsibility and whether the individual is eligible for specific service, physician or facility. What?!!? I thought universal health care was uh, universal. Boy am I naive.
Oh, I'm not done yet in the same section further down also proves my point about the NAIC, incentives not defined will be provided to "ease the burden for certain health care providers" What!!!!
Throughout the entire thing and I'm still reading it they use the word transparent, seems pretty transparent to me.
