The Health Insurance Game
This video is a skit written by supporters of HR 676 the single payer national health insurance bill in Congress (John Conyers – Michigan). All other industrialized countries have universal national health care. Their medical costs are far less than ours are in the United States but their health outcomes are as good or better.
Americans have seen their health insurance premiums increase by 87% from 2000 to 2006 while their earnings only increased by 20% and the average rate of overall inflation was 18% during the same time period (Kaiser Family Foundation).
Why does your health care cost so much?
Data from the Institute for Health and Socio-Economic Policy show that:
1. The top seven U.S. health insurers earned a combined $10 billion dollars – nearly triple their profits of 5 years earlier (Wall Street Journal, August 2006).
2. In 2004 top executives of the 11 largest health insurers made a combined $85 million per year in one year (Weiss Reports).
3. The 20 largest HMOs in the U.S. made $10.8 billion in profits in the fiscal year 2005. 12 top HMO executives pocketed $222.6 million in direct compensation in the fiscal year 2005.
4. Dr. William McGuire, CEO of UnitedHealthcare had $1.6 billion in exercisable options at the end of 2005 (CBN News, Oct. 16, 2006) in addition to his salary.
30%-35% of each dollar of your premium goes to pay for: executive salaries, administration, lobbying, marketing and other non-health care related costs.
It’s time for privately delivered health care with public funding – like our Fire Departments and Police. It’s time for HR 676.

Germany’s Health Care: Quality Care for All
With Congress back in session, debate over reforming the American health care system is once again in full swing. Supporters of universal health care want the U.S. system to be more like those in Europe, with the government taking an active role to guarantee coverage for everyone. Those who oppose drastic changes in the U.S. system say greater government involvement and universal coverage guarantees will push the U.S. toward socialism. Germans have the oldest universal health care system in Europe – its origins go back more than a century – and they are generally pleased with the care they receive. Is there a lesson there for America? VOA’s Sonja Pace reports from the German capital, Berlin.

Corrupt Health Care Bill To Pass Senate.wmv
Harry Reid has bought the 60th vote to pass health care by making a deal with Sen Ben Nelson of Nebraska for the federal government to pay for any medicaid increase his state has from health care FOREVER. The language in the bill is worse than in the beginning when Nelson took the high road and witheld his support. Sen Nelson from Fla got a guarantee to keep all his seniors health care advantage while the other 49 states will recieve DEEP cuts to that program. Sen Landreui from Louisiana got 300 million dollars for medicaid for her state for her vote. As for the first time in American history the bill mandates EVERY american to have health Insurance. It looks like the original bill that Reid leaked was dead last week is back, and what he’s been working on in secret was a 383 page managers amendment. The reason for the leak was probably to stop the groundswell of opposition that was coming in. Rep Stupak of the house is beside himself, because his bill guaranteeing subsidided people can not get abortions with comingled government money probably will be lost in the recociliation between bodies; which Nancy Pelosi promised him that would’nt happen. Reid should be brought up on RICCO charges and should not be above the law!

Landrieu on Health Care Gender Discrimination
Senator Landrieu was one of nine women Democratic Senators to take to the senate floor on October 8, 2010 to address the issue of gender discrimination in health care.
Because women require more regular contact with their doctors during their reproductive years, they are regularly charged higher premiums than men. 40 states, including Louisiana, and the District of Columbia allow gender rating, under which insurance companies charge women more for the same coverage as men.
In Louisiana, all of the best selling insurance plans gender-rate, costing women up to 38% more than men who are in the same circumstance, same health and same geographic location.

News Update: States suing to overturn health care law also seeking help to pay for retiree benefits
More news on the healthcare front — several states are suing to overturn the health care law signed by President Barack Obama and are simultaneously seeking to claim their share of subsidies to cover medical costs of retired employees. The AP reports a White House Administration official announced that, “seven states suing the federal government are among 16 already approved for subsidies to help with the healthcare costs of early retirees.” This includes: Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska and Nevada. This has become a growing concern for those who are quickly approaching retirement age. The AP reports that approximately 2000 employers have been approved — which primarily spans the private sector. The health care law provides $5B to aid employers in maintaining healthcare coverage for early retirees. This covers those age 55 and older but are no eligible for Medicare yet. The retiree assistance is only a temporary measure. Payments are scheduled to stop in 2014. The AP reports that this is “when the law calls for competitive insurance markets to open, and eligible individuals can get government tax credits to help pay for premiums.
