Which is it? Health CARE Reform or Health INSURANCE Reform?

[MrCoffee]

Maybe we aren't talking about the same thing anymore.

1. You're only about 9 months late.

The bait and switch was under way 12 months ago, and baked in the cake by summer of last year.

2. #posts that are a year late

3. obviouslly the bill has nothing to do with quality of health care, so its insurance related

but its not really reform of the insurance industry, its just adjusting the public's ACCESS to insurance.

4. In reality, it's neither.

It obviously isn't going to effect health CARE in the slightest. And its impact on health insurance will be minimal, aside from forcing everyone to buy it from corporations.

5. there is/was a very good, positive reason to change the wording

and if you can't figure it out, you probably will always lose to Republicans.

6. The Insurance Company Protection Act?

Said this before and haven't changed my mind.

7. Stupid debate. You can't "reform" one without reforming the other.

It also depends alot on whose definition of "reform" that you're using. When republicans use the word, they usually mean destroy, weaken or eliminate.

8. Even Obama calls it insurance "reform"

but the only reform is that the insurance companies are being handed a bunch of new victims to cheat and billions in tax dollars. The large out of pockets allowed by both versions of the bill will see to it that many people won't be able to afford care.

The other big beneficiary of this scam will be the credit card companies when desperate people resort to using plastic to pay their out of pocket costs.
