MC Howie weighs in on the health care debate with Nurse Linny.

Lyrics:

CHORUS
Health care reform why the is it taking so long?
Health care reform I know its important, but its so boring
Health care reform howd our country get it so wrong in the first place?
Health care reform but I like that show House with that actor Hugh Loring

We spend more on health care than any other nation
But you know how low were ranked by the World Health Organization?
Were at number 37 are you serious – its true
Even coke snorting Colombia is number 22!

But the cost of our health care is as high as it gets
Youre better off buying a cat and getting meds from a vet
When you go to the doctor, you pay so much for so little
Its like ordering a steak but getting served Tender Vittles

For a laugh, I put on the Fox News Channel
Sarah Palins still talking bout death panels
Now shes a health care expert in her low cut blouse
Cause she can see a hospital from right outside her house

CHORUS
Health care reform why the is it taking so long?
Health care reform I know its important, but its so boring
Health care reform howd our country get it so wrong in the first place?
Health care reform I couldnt film outside yesterday cause it was pouring

When you start a job, you gotta choose a health plan
All these choices and their acronyms are crazy man
You got HMO, PPO, HDHP
How the am I supposed to know which one is right for me?

And at the start of the year I gotta choose the amount

I wanna put in my flexible spending account
Will someone please tell me how Im supposed to predict
How much my plans not gonna cover when I get sick?

Deductibles, co-pays, and premia
I just need help with my hypoglycemia
And if all that aint enough to make ya go mental
You gotta pick another plan for your dental!

CHORUS
Health care reform why the is it taking so long?
Health care reform I know its important, but its so boring
Health care reform howd our country get it so wrong in the first place?
Health care reform I really hate that hospital linoleum flooring

All this partisan crap, just wastes so much time
Holding up the process for the party line
How can they be expected, to be respected
When all they care about is getting re-elected

All I care about is that Im protected
If with the H1N1 I get infected
Dont want my claim to be rejected
If the wrong health plan I done selected

Public option, public option
All Im hearing about is this public option
Will it make things better, or will it have glitches?
I dunno, but make a choice, and make some new law, bitches!

CHORUS
Health care reform why the is it taking so long?
Health care reform I know its important, but its so boring
Health care reform howd our country get it so wrong in the first place?
Health care reform sleep in the other room if you dont like my snoring

For starters, cons, the caps was McCain’s plan.

Secondly we need not some $8000 cap, we need 0$ cap, that is the end to tax subsidies of health care. Once health care plans are no longer tax deductible, the employers will abandon group plans, and give you the cash instead. You will have to buy you insurance in individual market.

Individual market was never subsidized by tax deductions. The result (according to CBO) is that individual health insurance plans cost ony one third to one half of group plans.

There shouldn’t be any tax cuts for anything. Why should the government make me pay more because of the way I choose to live?

If you rent instead of buying a house, you pay more taxes. WHY? How is a renter ever supposed to afford a home when he’s paying more in taxes?

If you have kids, you pay less in taxes, yet use more government services (schools, school busses on the roads, parks, etc.). You should pay MORE when you have kids.

The list goes on and on.

I’m a former Obama supporter. I’m just totally fed up with reversal after reversal and lie after lie from President Obama on health care.

*** 8 CDs *** Most of us believe that aging is accompanied by a sharp decline in our physical and mental abilities. We think getting older means getting sick. But, as you’ll soon discover, disease is not an inevitable part of aging. In fact, it is even possible to become biologically younger while you become chronologically older! In this cutting-edge program, Dr. Mark Hyman, former medical director from the famed Canyon Ranch Health Resort, unveils a revolutionary science-based program for staying active and disease-free for life. The Five Forces of Wellness will work for absolutely everyone – old, young, healthy, sick, or anywhere in between. This program presents the new science of staying healthy – otherwise known as ultraprevention. This powerful medicine of the future shatters the myths of today’s “fix-the-broken-parts” medicine. Instead of masking symptoms, it’s a proven plan for identifying and eliminating the forces that cause more than 90 percent of today’s most common and devastating diseases. It’s a patient-centered plan that shows you how to create a lifetime of good health. In The Five Forces of Wellness: The Ultraprevention System for Living an Active, Age-Defying, Disease-Free Life, you’ll learn what’s best for your body. Among other things, you’ll determine How to prevent disease from ravaging your body, using the medically proven “remove, repair, and recharge” system. Which foods make you thrive and which make you sick. How you can decrease the activity of the genes that will create illness and increase the activity of the genes that will create wellness. Why you should NEVER go on a diet and how to lose weight without going on a diet. What kinds of vitamins you need and how much. Whether your body does better with vigorous exercise or more gentle exercise. How to identify and rid yourself of toxins that make you sick. We all want to die as old as possible while feeling as young as possible. We want to enjoy vibrant health all the days of our life

I am planning on getting a vasectomy and I was wondering if it was covered under most HMO plans. Mine is through Aetna.

If it were not covered, what is the typical cost to get a vasectomy?

Thanks

A vasectomy is almost always covered. A vasectomy costs your insurance company less than $1000. A delivery room costs them over $10,000. They would be foolish not to because a vasectomy is almost a sure bet from an economic standpoint.

If you have to pay cash, like I did, you are looking at about $1000 at the most. If you go to a non-profit clinic you are talking about $600 or less.

The going price when I had mine was about $400. I went to a non-profit clinic so the cost was $250. True that was back in 1989, but the cost ratio is most likely still proportional.

Employers will determine that paying the fine is cheaper. They will drop their health benefits. This will *force* millions of Americans off their employer-provided plans onto the public plan. Obama was right he will not force anyone into Obama care the plan will.

It’s just a ploy for Obama to hurt the business sector. To make everyone government dependent.

Think about it. Obama bought businesses with government money. Government dependence.

Health Care reform is going to make people government dependent with Public Option.

The guy is a socialist. Plain and simple.

AHIP is the powerful insurance lobby that spends 5 million dollars a week trying to kill health care reform. Billionaires for Wealthcare is a grassroots network looking to stop them – with song.

• AHIP and other insurance and HMO interests spend nearly $5 million per week undermining real health care reform, including a public option.

• AHIP has resorted to out-right lying and scare tactics to block health care reform. They sent letters that lie to seniors about what health care reform means for Medicare, and they issued a report on the costs of health care reform legislation that is so misleading even the reports embarrassed authors distanced themselves from the way AHIP used their work.

• Every year, 45,000 people die because they cant get access to the health care they need. Yet AHIP continues to stand in the way of health care reform that would provide coverage to millions of Americans because the industry is more concerned with protecting profits than saving lives.
