[quote=gallowsCalibrator;47498398]Seems this one has flown a bit under the radar with the GOP Healthcare bill getting all the spotlight, but a Democrat has put forth one as well. A system designed to give everyone insurance under the Medicare blanket.
You can read the contents of the bill here
I think Medicare's funding and how it's managed would need to be completely revamped to handle this kind of expansion. T'would be interesting to see the CBO's take on it.[/QUOTECorrect me if I'm wrong, but one remembers the SOU Obama speech, where he brought up "a non-profit, public option!" One wonders if these are the same terms.
101(e) will be hotly debated: whether to give care to foreigners, even though they, or their countries, would have to reimburse!
Someone brought up a possible constitutional challenge to the provision of private companies having to convert to non-profit. Will that be the case, even though they would be reimbursed for the conversion!
