Is President's main case for healthcare reform rooted in false claims and little evidence?

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB12444277…Is President's main case for healthcare reform rooted in false claims and little evidence?
Another government plan to dupe an ill-informed public. Sadly, many will not realize the negative impact of universal health care until they themselves become seriously ill and are told the treatment they need is too expensive or unavailable. America seems to be jumping on the bandwagon to Socialism just as the rest of the world is jumping off. Maybe someone should send Obama that memo.Is President's main case for healthcare reform rooted in false claims and little evidence?
Lack of insurance compromises the health of the uninsured because they receive less preventive care, are diagnosed at more advanced disease stages, and once diagnosed, tend to receive less therapeutic care and have higher mortality rates than insured individuals.





Regardless of age, race, ethnicity, income or health status, uninsured children were much less likely to have received a well-child checkup within the past year. One study shows that nearly 50 percent of uninsured children did not receive a checkup in 2003, almost twice the rate (26 percent) for insured children.





The uninsured are increasingly paying “up front” -- before services will be rendered. When they are unable to pay the full medical bill in cash at the time of service, they can be turned away except in life-threatening circumstances.





About 20 percent of the uninsured (vs. three percent of those with coverage) say their usual source of care is the emergency room.


Studies estimate that the number of excess deaths among uninsured adults age 25-64 is in the range of 18,000 a year. This mortality figure is more than the number of deaths from diabetes (17,500) within the same age group.





According to one study, over a third of the uninsured have problems paying medical bills. The unpaid bills were substantial enough that many had been turned over to collection agencies – and nearly a quarter of the uninsured adults said they had changed their way of life significantly to pay medical bills.
Obamas entire political career is based upon fraud, This is all he knows, He cut his teeth in the land of lincoln, surrounded by the


daily machine in Chicago.. He learned from the best. And hasn't


slowed down a bit since. Innuendo, supposition and bull ****,


Obamas key to fame. Whats worse now is he is playing on the


world stage were he can cause serious damage.
No.





See Physician's for a National Health Program and do some homework.

Americans have never lobbied for smart insurance. Instead we allow costly cost shifting from the private, for profit health insurers to their policy holders and the government. Those without coverage wait until they need acute care (the most expensive form of care) which drives up health care costs and diminishes results. That's why the U.S. has health metrics lower than some second-world countries and the highest costs in the world.
Fox News news corp brother the Wall Street Journal may say that that is the President main case for health care reform but it is not. He main case is the millions of American citizens that can not afford health care. The millions of Americans that have to file bankruptcy because of a illness and/or lose their homes.
False claims about WHAT...tell me?!


47 million people in the United States are without healthcare.


What more do you need in the way of evidence?


Pres. Obama is trying his best to do something good about it...once and for all!


BUT...I'm guessing that your criticism of him stems from the fact that he's African-American...bottomline; that's your sore spot.


The strange thing is...the entire time that Little Bushy worked to trash this economy, you said NOTHING.


NOTHING.


So...WHY are you (and others like you) so vocal now?!
Of course it is. Another name for false claims? Lies, lies, lies. B.O. is a real pro at that!
Everything he has done so far has been based on the same ! Surprised they would try it again? It has been working this long for them !
You avatar defames the good name of Robin Hood. Pleeeeze.....Obummer doesn't even come close. He robbs from the middle class workers, and gives it to the lazy people.
Yes, but anyone watching the main stream media would think this was fact.





Case in point - The global warming hoax.
Yes, while he's on a role, he wants to get control of as much money as possible.
yes it is... but it sounds great on the campaign trail, which, he still thinks he is on.
Once again to these kinds of questions. (HA) The president gets his ideas from the people, senate, and house of representatives. He takes these ideas and makes them into a question with a fertile answer behind them. Then Congress approves or disapproves them. So basically, whatever happens is, because of Congress and there answer to the question.
