The Poor need Med savings accounts in which to put the imaginary money
Edited on Tue Jan-20-04 10:42 PM by bleedingheart
and then they get the imaginary tax deduction.

Bwhahahahah

How can any thinking individual vote for * given that hoax of a healthcare plan. He blasts government run programs yet our most successful programs have been government run. Look at the disaster of Enron and Worldcom and tell me again how "corporations" can govern themselves and be productive...hahahahaha

But the creme de la creme is this medical savings account, oh to laugh. If you are poor how can you afford to self insure? The problem is that people are going without healthcare and they need assistance not more hot air.

Catastrophic insurance!!! There are $5000 dollar deductibles on that type of insurance....how is that affordable?

1. Healthcare Plan like Congress has?
I really don't get that one....did I hear him right? We have the right to choose a plan just like the Congresspeople do? Does the idiot realize the one big difference? WE have to PAY for both ....our own coverage AND their FREE coverage. I'd like the same ealth plan Congress does. Anyone out there want to pay for it for me?

3. There was a recent Harvard study (I think) that stated that
already more than 50% of americans are covered by some sort of government health insurance....this is in regard to police, teachers, all govt employees..etc..

So why not insure the entire country under some sort of blanket plan...technically we already do through Medicaid and public hospitals but I think we could do better...

How about healthcare for all instead of a man on Mars?

6. money will be distributed to the poor
via the Real Estate Bubble Reflation Act of 2004 (no money down mortgage loans), or failing that will be dumped from helicopters over major population centers by Federal Reserve Bank employees.

8. Yeah, great now I can put my quarters in a savings account and call it med
account instead of just a jar. WHat a fucking joke. Anyone who can't afford health insurance doesn't hve the money to put into an account. What a crock of shit.
