Brain -> Healthcare overhaul could save money and boost jobs, researchers say (1/8/2010 12:01:07 PM)

I suppose it's better to eat horsemeat and stay alive than starve to death. It looks like the best thing to do now is hold your nose and pass healthcare and then work on purging the Democratic party of the traitors and sellouts like Blanche Lincoln and Ben Nelson and Joe Liebermann and Mary Landrieu, and maybe a couple of others, and also Max Baucus comes to mind.

It's unfortunate because even though it will save money and boost jobs it could have been so much better with the public option.

Healthcare overhaul could save money and boost jobs, researchers say

In a report to be released today, Harvard and USC economists say legislation being considered would slow cost increases and free up money for companies to raise wages and hire more workers.

The key word in that is "could'. It should be replaced with " probably won't "...

Well it seems the health industry was very worried about health reform passing and spent between 10-20 million on ads against it, and the COC spent 70-100 million in ads against health reform

Makes you wonder just how much money they are willing to spend to keep their golden goose

The public option will certainly boost government jobs, but will also cause losses in other jobs. Do we really need more government employees ? I say NO.

The same people that have argued against the public option were arguing against the automaker's bailout when one of the primary reasons the bailout was needed was because of the health benefits guaranteed to current and former employees, which the competition, primarily Toyota, was not burdened with because Japan has national health care.

Curious...

Many peoples love horse flesh and dine on it regularly... but I digress

You want to accecpt a fatally flawed health care bill crafted by the very people you want to through out of the Democrat Party? A bill that in many on the Left's minds, actually hurts the poor while proping up Insurance Companies. A Bill that major worker's unions in the United States oppose.

For what reason?

Up to a point increasing quality of universal healthcare helps economies...this is universally accepted....some nutty americans notwithstanding....Too much of it hurts economies, as it ends up keeping the disabled/extremely elderly/etc alive and needing often expensive treatment & care for far longer. As the usa doesn't even have universal healthcare at all yet, it's clearly nowhere near this point. However....I can't tell for shit whether or not the bill in question will help, I haven't paid close attention to it and the debate is way too shouty to help understanding...
