The ObamaCare Promises

September 12th, 2009 · No Comments

Says Jim Geraghty:

  • a bill that will keep everything the same for those who have health insurance through their jobs, Medicare, Medicaid, or the VA
  • mandate coverage of pre-existing conditions
  • ban caps on coverage; mandate coverage of routine checkups and preventive care, like mammograms and colonoscopies
  • offer health insurance to 30 million uninsured
  • provide tax credits for small businesses
  • painlessly mandate coverage for the young healthy uninsured
  • provide hardship waivers
  • provide choice and competition; keep insurance companies honest
  • avoid taxpayer subsidies for public option plans
  • keep out illegal immigrants
  • not pay for abortions
  • not deny care to the elderly because of cost-benefit analyses

… all while not adding one dime to our deficits – either now or in the future.

Exactly how much Hope And Change do you have to believe in to believe any of this?
