Healthcare...DO NOT believe the lies

Healthcare...DO NOT believe the lies



If you know me, you know that I am watching this debate...and fuming at the dishonesty and deception coming from this President. Now before you quit reading, hear me out...this is a topic that I happen to know a little bit about, and luckily have the ability to talk to people in the healthcare community every single day.
FIRST...let's talk about Medicare. There HAS to be changes to this, OR IT WILL NOT BE AROUND WITHIN A FEW SHORT YEARS. Just because it is offered doesn't mean that it (it being medicare) will be accepted by offices. There are thousands of offices that have stopped taking new medicare patients all together...therefore, if you are ALMOST of medicare elgibility, these offices are not going to take you as a patient (So your healthcare is NO GOOD) It isn't about "having" coverage, it is about no one taking it.
Next, Obama is on the record saying he supports a "single payer" system..what do you think that means? GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE...do you not understand that people come to this country to get quality healthcare? They don't run to Canada or Europe for life saving surgery...
If I need a doctor, I simply go...that will fundamentally change under Obamacare.
Next, Obama keeps saying you can keep your insurance through work...what he obviously does not understand is this...the cost of healthcare has gone up since Healthcare Reform was implemented. Connect the dots...what does that mean? If companies can't afford their current healthcare, then those people go onto the government system...that does not mean you get to keep your current healthcare if your employer has to forgo insurance due to rising healthcare cost.
Next, regarding hospitals and test...if you happen to get in a life threatening accident, you will have various doctors and specialist treating you. When they do that, they all get paid for their expertise (whether that be critical care pulmonology for your breathing and lungs, or a cardiologist for you heart, or a neurologist for you brain function, etc) They should all get paid, because they are each individually using their skills to save your life...under this new plan, this will not remain in place.
They will simply get a lump some of money, regardless of care...do you not realize that this compromises care? Hospitals and physicians will not get paid if a patient is readmitted to a hosptial within 30 days of discharge...what do you think that means...that care will be compromised? If they are going to lose money and not get paid for someone returning to the hospital, they can't afford to operate.

*All I can say is this...do not let the smooth talking President fool you...he is truly deceiving the American people, and I can not stand for that.
