10. "CBO Confirms Republican Health Care Bill Would Maintain the Status Quo"
http://www.californiachronicle.com/articles/view/127464



CBO Confirms Republican Health Care Bill Would Maintain the Status Quo

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Fifty-two million people would continue to go uninsured if the House Republican health care legislation was enacted, the Congressional Budget Office said tonight. Overall, CBO estimates that the bill would only reduce the number of uninsured by 3 million and would cover 83 percent of Americans by 2019 – about the same as what would happen under the status quo. In contrast, the House Democratic health insurance reform bill would cover 96 percent of Americans by 2019 and provide an additional 36 million people with access to quality, affordable health care.

* * *
According to CBO´s analysis:

>> Only 3 million people would gain coverage, "roughly in line with the current share". "By 2019, CBO By 2019, the number of nonelderly people without health insurance would be reduced by about 3 million relative to current law, leaving about 52 million nonelderly residents uninsured. The share of legal nonelderly residents with insurance coverage in 2019 would be about 83 percent, roughly in line with the current share."

>> Would not lower premiums for most consumers. "And in the large group market, which represents nearly 80 percent of total private premiums, the amendment would lower average insurance premiums in 2016 by zero to 3 percent compared with amounts under current law, according to CBO´s estimates."

>> Premiums could increase for older consumers. "For example, states that loosened rating rules in the market for individually purchased insurance to allow premiums to vary more on the basis of age would cause premiums for older people to increase and premiums for younger people to decrease."



If you think this is bad, check out Rep. Broun's bill.

11. "Don't worry. Be Happy."
The GOP doesn't HAVE an alternative. Their insurance buddies want things to stay just like they are.

23. Tanning lotion
Spray it on your cornflakes in the morning even. Nothing like a healthy tan. An oranging a day keeps the doctor away.

33. Whatever it is, it won't involve big government socialist health care.
Except for the $400+ billion a year spent on Medicare because they'll lose senior citizens' votes if they fuck with that. But other than this measly $400 billion, they'll make damn sure government stays out of health care.
