Today's American Thinker has a point by point rebuttal of President Obama's claims on his healthcare bill. Please follow the link and read the entire article, but I will try to summarize it here.
1. We need health insurance reform--not healthcare reform.
2. The government has caused our problem--we do not have free market healthcare. The government controls $.60 of every dollar spent on health care.
3. The government has caused medical prices to skyroket--nothing can be done by the private insurance companies that has not been done by Medicare and Medicaid.
4. Nearly thirteen million Americans are without health insurance. No one in the United States is without healthcare. Refusal of healthcare to an individual is illegal.
5. A government option will increase costs and lower the quality of care. Look at what has happened to Medicare and Medicaid. Rationing will have to be used to keep costs down.
6. Private insurance will be phased out in five years--read the bill.
This is only the beginning of the facts that show the lies that we are being told. Again, please read the full article. At the end of the article, the Doctor who wrote it shows what he has to do to submit a claim for Medicare. It's not pretty.
