How will the health insurance act reduce costs, and do the dc insiders really think they know?
more about running a business than the business people do? Hence the charging off of billions to stem the coming hard hit to the bottom line?
Do you think your own health insurance plan will be impacted?

<< more about running a business than the business people do? >> Considering we just gave almost a trillion dollars to bail out these business people, I think my 2 year old son may know more than they do.

They know how to gain control over peoples lives. They do not care about the cost. Once you are under their thumb they will just cut you off from need services. Cost problem solved OH Yes and you, and everyone else we just take a pill and die in a hospice Like BO would have had for his grandmother!

It won't reduce costs. When does the government (corporate America) reduce costs for their products? Additionally, the DC insiders are also Corporate America. So it is a real "cluster".

Companies reduce costs when it makes them more money. The only way this happens is when they compete and their competitor reduces costs and takes their business away. Since the health reform doesn't do anything to increase competititon, and leaves the status quo of regional monopolies, their is no reason to believe costs will be lowered. Even if their is room to lower costs it won't happen, the incentive does not exist, especially when they have shareholders demanding more in profits. Regardless of what economic sector we're talking about, costs don't come down unless it means they'll make more profits.

By requiring everyone to get health care coverage, medical treatments won't go unpaid for as much anymore. This will reduce the rate at which health care facilities increase their prices in order to make up the lost revenue, which in turn will reduce the rate at which health insurance premiums grow as well. I don't believe health care reform will actually reduce costs, but it should keep them from growing quite as quickly as they have been. If business people really knew that much about running their businesses, the economy wouldn't collapse from time to time like it does. My own health insurance will likely see little impact since it is provided by my employer.

(College-educated man to the rescue!) ROFL... anyway.. I'll clue you in... insurance companies have this idea called "pool size", which is, the total number of people that are insured under any given policy.. the government is going to essentially create the biggest pool possible, which will reduce premiums for everyone in the respective insurance pools.. this is because the companies are receiving more in premiums, and most people don't receive more care than they pay out... as a result, everyone's premiums go down, because the cost of doing business and maintaining a profit becomes less for an insurance company. Hope that helps, although I doubt you'll be satisfied, being the suspicious conservative type :)

The Health Care Law will not reduce costs, nor slow the rise of the increase of costs. After all that work, they failed in one of their primary goals when they started, and that was to slow the rise of the increase of costs for health services. I was recently talking with Sen. Jeff Bingaman (one of the six writers of the Health Care Law) about the Law that was passed, and he admitted that this was a weak point in the law. Yes, it forces everyone to get health care and thus expand coverage, and yes, it will force everyone into a government option, but the costs for health insurance and the costs of health services altogether will go up. The worst part is, the cost of living and the new costs to individual Americans are going to go up BIG time. From now on, every American is going to be having a harder time trying to make ends meet because of these new costs. The tax credits reimburse Americans for the expense, but you have to initially have the money to pay for health insurance out of pocket. And if you can't afford to pay out of pocket for health insurance, either for the government plan or your own plan, you will be penalized come April 15.
