<p>“Well, not all employers are hiring less.”</p>
<p>-That is correct…we are paying off, no hiring here…business is really bad, mostly because of increased regulations. While before companies tried really hard to hang on to employees as they invested so much in hiring and training, cannot do it any more. First year in many many years without bonuses, still thankful for having a job though</p>
<p>I’ve seen hiring pick up quite a bit in my area. </p>

<p>The whole point of the new law is to get everyone insured as a matter of personal responsibility, so that the rest of us aren’t picking up their costs. </p>
<p>We have three options: Get everyone covered (single-payer or mandate). Continue as we always have, with the insured and the taxpayers picking up the tab for the uninsured. Or deny care to the uninsured unless they can pay out-of-pocket. Which do you think is the best way to go?</p>
<p>“The whole point of the new law is to” get more control over us and buy more votes using taxpayer’s money…there is no other point there as health care will decrease and group that is needed it the most will suffer the most as money is redistributed from older to younger…again, to buy votes and nothing else. It is written in a law, money do not grow on trees, it has to com out of another “stash”
Saying that anybody will benefit is simply cynical. but what you expect from those who excluded themselves from this and also excluded all their friends on their request. Nice to be equal, but some of us are more equal than others, we always have to remember that saying by one of the smartest persons…</p>
<p>You didn’t tell us your solution for the 50 million uninsured Americans. The rest of us keep paying for them? Or they don’t get healthcare? It has to be one or the other.</p>
<p>50 mlns are covered by others’ insurances premiums, everybody knows that, despite the fact that very many out of these 50 mlns could afford insurance. I am saying as bad as it is now, our medicine is in better shape, why are all kind of royalties are coming to Cleveland Clinic? Do they come to Moscow? I do not think so. Have you been to Cleveland Clinic? It looks like palace because of various donation from various celebrities. Do they donate as much to some hospital in Cuba? Again, I do not think so. However, we have decided that Government Health care is a better solution…or, well, let’s experience it…of course, not all of us, only those who were NOT excluded, a.k.a. non-government and not it’s loud friends</p>
<p>Actually this should be a relatively easy fix,lol…pay all medical students costs with the stipulation they work at a clinc type setting to provide healthcare for those who have no insurance…after a period of time, these MDs can then pursure their own path…not sure how many of these clinics could be formed, but it helps on 2 issues…lack of healthcare, and the burden of student loans</p>
<p>Fwiw, i like the system as is. ;)</p>
<p>I just got notified that my family is in the new and cheaper health care plan…</p>
<p>Just got the new bill…</p>
<p>We are saving siiiiiiiiiiiiiiize. :)</p>
<p>“That is correct…we are paying off, no hiring here…business is really bad, mostly because of increased regulations.”</p>
<p>And those regulations are…details, please. In Washington State, hearing this complaint, the Governor asked the Association of Washington Businesses to put together a specific list of regulations that were increased and too onerous. After 18 months of work, they couldn’t come up with a single one.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LOL…I guess that would explain the purchase of K-Mart by Sears.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So it’s commie care or the broken system we’ve been enjoying all a long? Do you really not see another alternative? Btw, I think the ACA is a hot mess, also. I want an alternative that will truly work for almost everyone.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Reminds me of Compaq buying out Digital. A loser buys out a loser and becomes what?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not quite sure what most of this means, but I’d like to address a couple of things. First, you’re partially correct that “50 mlns are covered by others’ insurances premiums” (the uninsured are also subsidized by providers and taxpayers) – and that is the huge problem. People are utilizing the healthcare system without paying in, which drives up costs for those of us who do pay in. You’re OK with paying other peoples’ medical bills?</p>
<p>Second, the new law is not “Government Health care.” The insurance industry has been wildly successful at conflating health CARE and health INSURANCE. No one has proposed abolishing private doctors or hospitals. The law is about making sure that all Americans have health insurance. The bumper-sticker phrases “government-run healthcare” or its twin “socialized medicine” betray a misunderstanding of the issue.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Exactly. I think the insurance lobby did a masterful job of pretending they were outraged by the ACA. In reality, it’s a massive money grab for insurance companies, because it exponentially increases the risk pool that will ultimately drive up their profits (providing the IM holds up in court. Big “if”, to be sure). The insurance lobby has been like Brer Rabbit begging not to be thrown in the briar patch.</p>
