A: trapped by conventional thinking
B: are using fear to scam Americans into surrendering power to the government (if once you get Gov’t run health care, it is hard to go back as those folks working for that outfit will vote in favor of their jobs. This helps keep liberals in power. Look how well it worked with Social Security.)

The statement was something like: “Preexisting condition keeps
Americans from seeking better jobs because of the fear that they will
lose their health insurance…”

This is false. People may _think_ that preexisting condition is the
reason for this, but it is not so. While preexisting condition is an issue that needs to be dealt with, the true culprit is that the
business, not the employee, is the owner of the health insurance
coverage. You own your auto, homeowners, renters, or life insurance, why not your health insurance? Is not your health more important than your car or belongings? This, like most things needing reform in the health care system, can be fixed with a simple uncomplicated bill. I have given it the working name of _The Health Insurance Portability Act_

They did this with telecommunications and the Phone Number
Portability Act, is not our health insurance more important?

_The Health Insurance Portability Act_ would contain ONLY those
things related to health insurance portability, such as:

1. All health insurance policies will become the property of the
employee insured on [date]
2. Employers will continue their current percentage of premium contributions
3. All health care expenditures will be 100% pretax dollars for all tax payers, this includes health insurance (A modification to the tax code)
4. A health insurance policy cannot be canceled because someone
moves to another state
5. No insurance company may be denied from writing policies in any state. This insures competition.

It is easy to see how this would eliminate health insurance as a job
change factor and would allow preexisting condition to be dealt with
separately and on its own merits. Health Insurance premiums would
then become yet another factor in salary negotiation. I think that
they could do this in 25 pages, certainly less than 100.

This would not solve the low income issue, but that can be handled in
a separate bill as well.

(John Adams: I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace, that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a Congress.)

But what he thinks is affordable and what I feel is affordable are two different things, and because I will be mandated to provide Ins. for myself, I should know what extra expenses that I will be forced to incur….

Also, it is clear to me that this Plan is designed to eventually place every American on it, because if you dont have a policy when it’s enacted, you are then forced to purchase the Govt. Plan, and then not allowed to discontinue it…

I really hate all of these hidden things, where is the transparency, I dont want Govt. deciding for me…

I have been a Democrat for over twenty years, and I honestly dont know what happened to my party, I hardly recognize them anymore….
