Healthcare Townhall Spin Translator
Over the August recess, Congressmen will be holding townhalls on healthcare. There's likely to be a lot of spin and doubletalk from very nervous Democrat members. If you're going to one, you should bring a copy of this handy translation guide (PDF version). The guts of it is pasted below:
|
Spin
|
Translation
|
|
No discrimination for pre-existing conditions
|
One can wait until one gets sick to sign up for coverage, and thereby game the system, costing the rest of us
|
|
No exorbitant out-of-pocket expenses, deductibles or co-pays
|
You can’t have a health savings account (HSA) even if you want to keep one. If you want to save money on your premium by having a high deductible, the government won’t let you
|
|
No cost-sharing for preventive care
|
An unelected and unaccountable government board of bureaucrats will decide what procedures must be first-dollar, even if you don’t value them
|
|
No dropping of coverage if you become seriously ill
|
This only happens in Helen Hunt movies, but Congress will demagogue it anyway to scare us
|
|
No gender discrimination
|
You’ll be forced to have your tax dollars pay for abortion and other things you disagree with. You’ll also be forced to purchase a plan which covers abortion on demand for all nine months
|
|
No annual or lifetime caps on coverage
|
Congress will tell insurance companies how they have to price their coverage and determine risk
|
|
Extended coverage for young adults
|
1. “Children” up to age 30 will be able to stay on their parents’ insurance at taxpayer expense
2. Inculcating the culture of entitlement and preening a generation of welfare-dependents.
|
|
Guaranteed insurance renewal so long as premiums are paid
|
Another red herring that Congress will use to scare people into adopting government medicine
