The insurance/pharmaceutical oligarchs, their servants in Congress, and the corporate-controlled press have worked extremely hard at confusing the issue and keeping the public from knowing what is really in the proposed leading health care bill.
How do you feel about the following?
Would you & your family like to have the exact same health care coverage that members of Congress have? Under the proposed bill you could have it.
Would you like preventive care--like an annual physical, mammogram or colonoscopy? It would cost you nothing out of pocket.
Also under this proposal, in spite of age, a pre-existing condition or family history, you could not be denied coverage.
Insurance companies would not be able to cap your care if you develop cancer or other serious illnesses.
Patients with severe problem and their families would not need to use all their savings and file bankruptcy to receive proper care.
The proposed tax credits would benefit small businesses and their employees.
In order to keep us from examining these benefits, the special interests are talking about death panels and the end of Medicare ( a program the Republicans have been trying to eliminate from its beginning). Billions of dollars (dollars that could have been used for sick patients) are being spent to confuse the issue with the result that we will once again fail to fix a very broken system.
